We prove that for every $r>0$ if a non-positively curved $(p,q)$-map $M$ contains no flat submaps of radius $r$, then the area of $M$ does not exceed $Crn$ for some constant $C$. This strengthens a theorem of Ivanov and Schupp. We show that…

We consider isometric immersions of complete connected Riemannian manifolds into space forms of nonzero constant curvature. We prove that if such an immersion is compact and has semi-definite second fundamental form, then it is an embedding…

In this paper, we introduce pre-Lie and pre-Leibniz superalgebras, which generalize pre-Lie and pre-Leibniz algebras to the super setting. Additionally, we define a Levi-Civita product associated with a symmetric non-degenerate bilinear…

We study the bi-Lipschitz embedding problem for a class of metric spaces called slit carpets. First we show that the $n$th stage $\mathbb{M}_n$ of the standard slit carpet of Merenkov admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into Euclidean space…

Let X be quasi-isometric to either the mapping class group equipped with the word metric, or to Teichmuller space equipped with either the Teichmuller metric or the Weil-Petersson metric. We introduce a unified approach to study the coarse…

The group-theoretic method for constructing symmetric isometric embeddings is used to describe all possible four-dimensional surfaces in flat $(1,9)$-dimensional space, whose induced metric is static and spherically symmetric. For such…

We revisit Pollard's classical result on consistency for $k$-means clustering in Euclidean space, with a focus on extensions in two directions: first, to problems where the data may come from interesting geometric settings (e.g., Riemannian…

We introduce a construction adding low-dimensional cells to a space that satisfies certain low-dimensional conditions; it preserves high-dimensional homology with appropriate coefficients. This includes as special cases Quillen's plus…

We consider closed manifolds that admit a metric locally isometric to a product of symmetric planes. For such manifolds, we prove that the Euler characteristic is an obstruction to the existence of flat structures, confirming an old…

For a closed subset $K$ of a compact metric space $A$ possessing an $\alpha$-regular measure $\mu$ with $\mu(K)>0$, we prove that whenever $s>\alpha$, any sequence of weighted minimal Riesz $s$-energy configurations…

We show that any compact almost-complex manifold of complex dimension m can be pseudo-holomorphically embedded in R^(6m) equipped with a suitable almost-complex structure.

We present a relation between sparsity and non-Euclidean isomorphic embeddings. We introduce a general restricted isomorphism property and show how it enables to construct embeddings of $\ell_p^n$, $p > 0$, into various type of Banach or…

We investigate shrinking maps from a cusped hyperbolic surface into the moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. For such a map and its lift to the Teichm\"uller space, we consider whether they are quasi-isometric embeddings with respect to…

The dimension of the Hilbert space of QFT scales exponentially with the volume of the space in which the theory lives, yet in supersymmetric theories, one can define a graded dimension (such as the supersymmetric index) that counts just the…

We study two aspects of the loop group formulation for isometric immersions with flat normal bundle of space forms. The first aspect is to examine the loop group maps along different ranges of the loop parameter. This leads to various…

Given a simplicial complex $K$, we consider several notions of geometric complexity of embeddings of $K$ in a Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^d$: thickness, distortion, and refinement complexity (the minimal number of simplices needed for a PL…

We determine the minimal equivariant embedding dimension of orthgonal groups acting on real flag manifolds and unitary groups acting on complex flag manifolds. The minimal embedding dimension is achieved at isospectral model.

We study space-time symmetries in scalar quantum field theory (including interacting theories) on static space-times. We first consider Euclidean quantum field theory on a static Riemannian manifold, and show that the isometry group is…

In this paper we study maps (curved flats) into symmetric spaces which are tangent at each point to a flat of the symmetric space. Important examples of such maps arise from isometric immersions of space forms into space forms via their…

A result of M. Ledoux is that a complete Riemannian manifold with non negative Ricci curvature satisfying the Euclidean Sobolev inequality is the Euclidean space. We present a shortcut of the proof. We also give a refinement of a result of…
