We give a complete classification of irreducible symmetric spaces for which there exist proper SL(2,R)-actions as isometries, using the criterion for proper actions by T. Kobayashi [Math. Ann. '89] and combinatorial techniques of nilpotent…

Motivated by Kloeckner's result on the isometry group of the quadratic Wasserstein space $\mathcal{W}_2\left(\mathbb{R}^n\right)$, we describe the isometry group $\mathrm{Isom}\left(\mathcal{W}_p (E)\right)$ for all parameters $0 < p <…

Let $X$ be a non-compact proper Busemann space. We introduce a collection of binary relations on its ideal boundaries generalizing comparison of Tits metric with two key values $\pi$ and $\pi/2$. This allows to use properties of Tits metric…

Motivated by importance of operator spaces contained in the set of all scalar multiples of isometries ($MI$-spaces) in a separable Hilbert space for $C^*$-algebras and E-semigroups we exhibit more properties of such spaces. For example, if…

In this paper we study variations of the Hopf theorem concerning continuous maps $f$ of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ to $\mathbb{R}^n$. We investigate the case when $M$ is a closed convex $n$-dimensional surface and…

Let $1<p,\,q<\infty$. It is shown for complex scalars that there are no nontrivial $M$-ideals in $L(L_p[0,1])$ if $p\neq 2$, and $K(\ell_p(\ell_q^n)$ is the only nontrivial $M$-ideal in $L(\ell_p(\ell_q^n)$. This proves a conjecture of…

Let $\mathcal{L}(H)$ be the $*$-algebra of all bounded operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ and let $(\mathcal{I}, \|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{I}})$ be an ideal in $\mathcal{L}(H)$ equipped with a Banach norm which is distinct…

In the present paper we investigate the properties of the Hausdorff mapping $\mathcal{H}$, which takes each compact metric space to the space of its nonempty closed subspaces. It is shown that this mapping is nonexpanding (Lipschitz mapping…

In this paper we study the isometric rigidity of certain classes of metric spaces with respect to the $p$-Wasserstein space. We prove that spaces that split a separable Hilbert space are not isometrically rigid with respect to…

The structure of S-duality in U(1) gauge theory on a 4-manifold M is examined using the formalism of noncommutative geometry. A noncommutative space is constructed from the algebra of Wilson-'t Hooft line operators which encodes both the…

Let $\mathfrak A$ be a type 1 subdiagonal algebra in a $\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$ with respect to a faithful normal conditional expectation $\Phi$. We consider a Riesz type factorization theorem in noncommutative $H^p$…

We study all four-dimensional simply-connected indecomposable non-semisimple pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces whose metric has signature (2,2). We present models and compute their isometry groups. We solve the problem of the existence or…

We obtain an infinite-dimensional cone of singular twisted Hilbert spaces $Z(\varphi)$ which are isomorphic to their duals but not to their conjugate duals. We do that by showing that the subset of all bi-Lipschitz maps from $[0, \infty)$…

If $E$ is an operator space, the non-commutative vector valued $L^p$ spaces $S^p[E]$ have been defined by Pisier for any $1 \leq p \leq \infty$. In this paper a necessary and sufficient condition for a Hankel matrix of the form…

Consider the standard symplectic $(\RR^{2n}, \omega_0)$, a point $p\in\RR^{2n}$ and an immersed closed orientable hypersurface $\Sigma\subset\RR^{2n}\minus\{p\}$, all in general position. We study the following passage/tangency question:…

The following theorem is the main result of this note. Theorem 1. Let $(E, \|\cdot\|_E) $ be a rearrangement invariant Banach function space on the interval $[0, 1]$. If $E$ is isometric to $\L_p [0, 1]$ for some $1\le p<\infty$, then $E$…

We give a complete list of normal forms for the 2-dimensional metrics that admit a transitive Lie pseudogroup of geodesic-preserving transformations and we show that these normal forms are mutually non-isometric. This solves a problem posed…

Let H be a real (or complex) Hilbert space. Every nonnegative operator $L \in L(H)$ admits a unique nonnegative square root $R \in L(H)$, i.e., a nonnegative operator $R \in L(H)$ such that $R^{2}= L$. Let $GL^{+}_{S}(H)$ be the set of…
