We propose a generalization of the momentum map on a symplectic manifold with a Lie algebra action to a Courant algebroid structure. The theory of a momentum section on a Lie algebroid is generalized to the theory compatible with a Courant…

We explain how the formal aspects of the theory of Kahler-Einstein metrics can be developed in the framework of moment maps. The central result we use is the Berndtsson convexity theorem, which is interpreted as defining a metric on the…

In this paper, we prove existence of $L^p$-optimal transport maps with $p \in (1,\infty)$ in a class of branching metric spaces defined on $\mathbb{R}^N$. In particular, we introduce the notion of cylinder-like convex function and we prove…

In this paper we define invariants of Hamiltonian group actions for central regular values of the moment map. The key hypotheses are that the moment map is proper and that the ambient manifold is symplectically aspherical. The invariants…

Given a convex set and an interior point close to the boundary, we prove the existence of a supporting hyperplane whose distance to the point is controlled, in a dimensionally quantified way, by the thickness of the convex set in the…

We derive an upper bound on the size of a ball such that the image of the ball under quadratic map is strongly convex and smooth. Our result is the best possible improvement of the analogous result by Polyak in the case of quadratic map. We…

We introduce and study a new class of $\eps$-convex bodies (extending the class of convex bodies) in metric and normed linear spaces. We analyze relations between characteristic properties of convex bodies, demonstrate how $\eps$-convex…

The study of convex functions - in particular, of their optimization (really minimization) is one of the most important fields of applied mathematics. Convexity seems to be one of those incredibly well-chosen hypotheses which is just…

We prove that higher moment maps on area measures of a euclidean vector space are injective, while the kernel of the centroid map equals the image of the first variation map. Based on this, we introduce the space of smooth dual area…

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…

We study the local and global versions of the convexity, which is closely related to the problem of extending a convex function on a non-convex domain to a convex function on the convex hull of the domain and beyond the convex hull. We also…
