We show that a random walk on the mapping class group of an orientable surface of finite type makes linear progress in the relative metric, which is quasi-isometric to the complex of curves.
In this paper, we have studied the loops which are the semidirect products of a loop and a group. Also, the cummutant, nuclei and the center of such loops are studied.
We exhibit an infinite family of snowflake groups all of whose asymptotic cones are simply connected. Our groups have neither polynomial growth nor quadratic Dehn function, the two usual sources of this phenomenon. We further show that each…
Let $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X)$ be the space of all Lipschitz scalar-valued functions on a pointed metric space $X$. We characterize the approximation property for $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X)$ with the bounded weak* topology using as tools the tensor…
We study different notions of quasiconvexity for a subgroup $H$ of a relatively hyperbolic group $G.$ The first result establishes equivalent conditions for $H$ to be relatively quasiconvex. As a corollary we obtain that the relative…
Our goal is to develop a limit approach for a class of problems in additive combinatorics that is analogous to the limit theory of dense graph sequences. We introduce metric, convergence and limit objects for functions on groups and for…
Quasiperiodic arrangements of the constitutive materials in composites result in effective properties with very unusual electromagnetic and elastic properties. The paper discusses the cut-and-projection method that is used to characterize…
Rational approximations of functions with singularities can converge at a root-exponential rate if the poles are exponentially clustered. We begin by reviewing this effect in minimax, least-squares, and AAA approximations on intervals and…
In this study we introduce the notions of semi-homotopy of semi-continuous maps and of semi-paths. We also construct a group structure, which will be called semi-fundamental group, using semi-loops and explore some properties of…
Determining the length of short conjugators in a group can be considered as an effective version of the conjugacy problem. The conjugacy length function provides a measure for these lengths. We study the behaviour of conjugacy length…
Quite recently, a new property related to norm-attaining operators has been introduced: the weak maximizing property (WMP). In this note, we define a generalised version of it considering other topologies than the weak one (mainly the…
We introduce the concept of $\it{ startpoint}$ and $\it{endpoint}$ for multivalued maps defined on a quasi-pseudometric space. We investigate the relation between these new concepts and the existence of fixed points for these set valued…
In this paper, we study the weak sharpness of the solution set of variational inequality problem (in short, VIP) and the finite convergence property of the sequence generated by some algorithm for finding the solutions of VIP. In…
This work investigates the properties of the proximity operator for quasar-convex functions and establishes the convergence of the proximal point algorithm to a global minimizer with a particular focus on its convergence rate. In…
To each finitely generated group $G$, we associate a quasi-isometric invariant called the \emph{Dehn spectrum} of $G$. If $G$ is finitely presented, our invariant is closely related to the Dehn function of $G$, but provides more information…
We consider composite functions in the elementary algebraic framework. Without any use of the Fourier transform, we find almost periodic orbits which suitably characterizes certain composite functions. In particular, we provide special…
In this note we characterize isoperimetric regions inside almost-convex cones. More precisely, as in the case of convex cones, we show that isoperimetric sets are given by intersecting the cone with a ball centered at the origin.
Continuing from a companion article: 'Random walks and contracting elements I: Deviation inequality and limit laws', we study random walks on metric spaces with contracting elements. We prove that random subgroups of the isometry group of a…
The purpose of this paper is to provide a set of sufficient conditions so that the normalized form of the Fox-Wright functions have certain geometric properties like close-to-convexity, univalency, convexity and starlikeness inside the unit…
In this paper, we study properties of random walks on finite groups and later use them to obtain the limiting braid length expectation and component number of braid closure in a model of random braids, which is constructed by lifting…
