Motivated by the local theory of Banach spaces we introduce a notion of finite representability for metric spaces. This allows us to develop a new technique for comparing the generalized roundness of metric spaces. We illustrate this…
In this paper we introduce a family of examples that can be regarded as spaces of nonpositive curvature, but with the distinct quality that they are not complete as metric spaces. This amounts to the fact that they are modelled on a finite…
There are two basic ways of weakening the definition of the well-known metric regularity property by fixing one of the points involved in the definition. The first resulting property is called metric subregularity and has attracted a lot of…
Regularity properties of the pressure are related to phase transitions. In this article we study thermodynamic formalism for systems defined in non-compact phase spaces, our main focus being countable Markov shifts. We produce metric…
We show how the Shannon entropy function can be used as a basis to set up complexity measures weighting the economic efficiency of countries and the specialization of products beyond bare diversification. This entropy function guarantees…
In this article we show that a large class of infinite measure preserving dynamical systems that do not admit physical measures nevertheless exhibit strong statistical properties. In particular, we give sufficient conditions for existence…
For dynamical systems satisfying the approximate $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ or $\mathbb{Z}_+^{d}$-product property and asymptotically entropy expansiveness, we establish a precise description of the structure of their space of invariant measures. In…
We construct classifying spaces for discrete and compact Lie groups, with the property that they are topological groups and complete metric spaces in a natural way. We sketch a program in view of extending these constructions.
In this article, we classify all the Hermitian metrics on a complex product manifold with nonpositive holomorphic bisectional curvature. It is a generalization of a result by Zheng.
We prove metric rigidity for complete manifolds supporting solutions of certain second order differential systems, thus extending classical works on a characterization of space-forms. In the route, we also discover new characterizations of…
Several examples and models based on noncommutative differential calculi on commutative algebras indicate that a metric should be regarded as an element of the left-linear tensor product of the space of 1-forms with itself. We show how the…
We characterise the simplicity of metric ultraproducts of a family of metric groups. We also present several new examples of simple groups, such as metric ultraproducts of finite and infinite symmetric groups, linear groups, and interval…
A Minkowski class is a closed subset of the space of convex bodies in Euclidean space Rn which is closed under Minkowski addition and non-negative dilatations. A convex body in Rn is universal if the expansion of its support function in…
We consider products of $n$ random Hermitian matrices which generalize the one-matrix model and show its relation to Hurwitz numbers which count ramified coverings of certain type. Namely, these Hurwitz numbers count $2k$-fold ramified…
We investigate the class of groups admitting an action on a set with an invariant mean. It turns out that many free products admit such an action. We give a complete characterisation of such free products in terms of a strong fixed point…
The embedding of a given point set with non-crystallographic symmetry into higher-dimensional space is reviewed, with special emphasis on the Minkowski embedding known from number theory. This is a natural choice that does not require an a…
An example is given of a compact absolute retract that is not a Hilbert cube manifold but whose second symmetric porduct is the Hilbert cube. A factor theorem is given for nth symmetric product of the cartesian product of any absolute…
A marked metric measure space (mmm-space) is a triple (X,r,mu), where (X,r) is a complete and separable metric space and mu is a probability measure on XxI for some Polish space I of possible marks. We study the space of all (equivalence…
We show that the existence of a nontrivial Massey product in the cohomology ring H^*(X) imposes global constraints upon the Riemannian geometry of a manifold X. Namely, we exhibit a suitable systolic inequality, associated to such a…
We study a semi-/nonparametric regression model with a general form of nonclassical measurement error in the outcome variable. We show equivalence of this model to a generalized regression model. Our main identifying assumptions are a…
