We analyze some properties of a class of multiexponential maps appearing naturally in the geometric analysis of Carnot groups. We will see that such maps can be useful in at least two interesting problems. First, in relation to the analysis…
We consider compact convex hypersurfaces contracting by functions of their curvature. Under the mean curvature flow, uniformly convex smooth initial hypersurfaces evolve to remain smooth and uniformly convex, and contract to points after…
Based on the Carath\'eodory -Pesin structure theory[11], we introduce three notions of topological pressure of a proper map and provide some properties of these notions. For the proper map of a locally compact separable metric space, we…
The main goal of this paper is to present results of existence and non-existence of convex functions on Riemannian manifolds and, in the case of the existence, we associate such functions to the geometry of the manifold. Precisely, we prove…
A proof of Sharkovsky's Theorem is given. It is shown how this proof naturally generalizes to looking at maps on graphs and to Sharkovsky-type theorems for these maps. The paper is written at an elementary level and is meant as an…
This paper discusses a more general contractive condition for a class of extended cyclic self-mappings on the union of a finite number of subsets of a metric space which are allowed to have a finite number of successive images in the same…
A new and extensive formalism is developed for monads and galaxies in non-standard enlargements. It is shown that monads and galaxies can be manipulated using order-preserving and order-reversing set-to-set maps, and that set properties…
We prove in this paper that, under suitable coinditions on an initial data set, we can obtain Area and Curvature Estimates for simple marginally outer trapped surfaces (or MOTS). Using this estimates, we derive a Compactness Theorem for…
We consider maps defined on the interior of a normal, closed cone in a real Banach space that are nonexpansive with respect to Thompson's metric. With mild compactness assumptions, we prove that the Krasnoselskii iterates of such maps…
We show that local deformations, near closed subsets, of solutions to open partial differential relations can be extended to global deformations, provided all but the highest derivatives stay constant along the subset. The applicability of…
This paper presents new approaches to the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in L^1 spaces. While it is well-known that L^1 fails the fixed point property in general, we provide a complete and self-contained proof that…
The main purpose of this paper is to define dynamical degrees for rational maps over an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero and prove some basic properties (such as log-concavity) and give some applications. We also define…

In this paper, we establish the local converse theorem and the stability of local gamma factors for $\Mp_{2n}$ via the precise local theta correspondence between $\Mp_{2n}$ and $\SO_{2n+1}$ over local fields of characteristic not equal to…
A theorem of L. Caffarelli implies the existence of a map pushing forward a source Gaussian measure to a target measure which is more log-concave than the source one, which contracts Euclidean distance (in fact, Caffarelli showed that the…
We adapt the definition of the Vietoris map to the framework of finite topological spaces and we prove some coincidence theorems. From them, we deduce a Lefschetz fixed point theorem for multivalued maps that improves recent results in the…
We investigate the properties of convex functions in the plane that satisfy a local inequality which generalizes the notion of sub-solution of Monge-Ampere equation for a Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost between non-absolutely…
In this note we prove convexity, in the sense of Colding-Naber, of the regular set of solutions to some complex Monge-Ampere equations with conical singularities along simple normal crossing divisors. In particular, any two points in the…
Convexity of a yield function (or phase-transformation function) and its relations to convexity of the corresponding yield surface (or phase-transformation surface) is essential to the invention, definition and comparison with experiments…
