We characterize the sets of norm one vectors $\mathbf{x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}_k$ in a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ such that there exists a $k$-linear symmetric form attaining its norm at $(\textbf{x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}_k)$. We prove that in…

It is shown that the Hilbert geometry $(D,h_D)$ associated to a bounded convex domain $D\subset \mathbb{E}^n$ is isometric to a normed vector space $(V,||\cdot ||)$ if and only if $D$ is an open $n$-simplex. One further result on the…

Let $\mathbb{S} \subset \mathbb{C}$ be the circle in the plane, and let $\Omega: \mathbb{S} \to \mathbb{S}$ be an odd bi-Lipschitz map with constant $1+\delta_\Omega$, where $\delta_\Omega>0$ is small. Assume also that $\Omega$ is twice…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $\omega$ be a primitive $p$th root of unity. In this paper, we introduce a metric on the cyclotomic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\omega)$. We prove that this metric has several remarkable properties, such as…

Suppose that for each n >= 0 we have a representation $M_n$ of the symmetric group S_n. Such sequences arise in a wide variety of contexts, and often exhibit uniformity in some way. We prove a number of general results along these lines in…

We consider the problem of minimizing the bending or elastic energy among Jordan curves confined in a given open set $\Omega$. We prove existence, regularity and some structural properties of minimizers. In particular, when $\Omega$ is…

The symmetric homology of a unital algebra $A$ over a commutative ground ring $k$ is defined using derived functors and the symmetric bar construction of Fiedorowicz. For a group ring $A = k[\Gamma]$, the symmetric homology is related to…

A celebrated result of Koecher and Vinberg asserts the one-one correspondence between the finite dimensional formally real Jordan algebras and Euclidean symmetric cones. We extend this result to the infinite dimensional setting.

We provide new conditions under which the alternating projection sequence converges in norm for the convex feasibility problem where a linear subspace with finite codimension $N\geq 2$ and a lattice cone in a Hilbert space are considered.…

We investigate some aspects of various numerical radius orthogonalities and numerical radius parallelism for bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$. Among several results, we show that if $T,S\in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$…

We characterise the affine span of the midpoints sets for Thompson's metric on symmetric cones in terms of a translation of the zero-component of the Peirce decomposition of an idempotent. As a consequence we derive an explicit formula for…

We prove an inequality on positive real numbers, that looks like a reverse to the well-known Hilbert inequality, and we use some unusual techniques from Fourier analysis to prove that this inequality is optimal.

The aim of this short note is to prove the formula of the Hilbert series of the preprojective algebras in arbitrary characteristic by making effective use of the formulas of the Hilbert series of differential graded (dg) algebras with Adams…

In this paper a geometric characterization of the unique geodesics in Thompson's metric spaces is presented. This characterization is used to prove a variety of other geometric results. Firstly, it will be shown that there exists a unique…

David Hilbert discovered in 1895 an important metric that is canonically associated to any convex domain $\Omega$ in the Euclidean (or projective) space. This metric is known to be Finslerian, and the usual proof assumes a certain degree of…

The basic tool for solving problems in metric geometry and isotonic regression is the metric projection onto closed convex cones. Isotonicity of these projections with respect to a given order relation can facilitate finding the solutions…

In 1878, Jordan proved that if a finite group $G$ has a faithful representation of dimension $n$ over $\mathbb{C}$, then $G$ has a normal abelian subgroup with index bounded above by a function of $n$. The same result fails if one replaces…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain satisfying the uniform exterior cone condition. We establish existence and uniqueness of continuous solutions of the Dirichlet Problem associated to certain intrinsic nonlinear mean value…

The orbit dimension $\sigma(G)$ (also called the separation number or rigidity index) of a permutation group $G$ with domain $\Omega$ is the minimum cardinality of a subset $S \subseteq \Omega$ such that, for any two distinct elements…

We introduce a very simple, exactly solvable PT-symmetric non-Hermitian model with real spectrum, and derive a closed formula for the metric operator which relates the problem to a Hermitian one.
