We prove the existence of semi-infinite geodesics for Brownian last-passage percolation (BLPP). Specifically, on a single event of probability one, there exist semi-infinite geodesics started from every space-time point and traveling in…

It is well known that if $h$ is a nonnegative harmonic function in the ball of $\RR^{d+1}$ or if $h$ is harmonic in the ball with integrable boundary values, then the radial limit of $h$ exists at almost every point of the boundary. In this…

The Kruskal-Katona theorem together with a theorem of Razborov determine the closure of the set of points defined by the homomorphism density of the edge and the triangle in finite graphs. The boundary of this region is a countable union of…

We establish a version of a classical theorem of Pommerenke, which is a diameter version of the Gehring-Hayman inequality on Gromov hyperbolic domains of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Two applications are given. Firstly, we generalize Ostrowski's…

We study functions of bounded variation (and sets of finite perimeter) on a convex open set $\Omega\subseteq X$, $X$ being an infinite dimensional real Hilbert space. We relate the total variation of such functions, defined through an…

For every proper geodesic space $X$ we introduce its quasi-geometric boundary $\partial_{QG}X$ with the following properties: 1. Every geodesic ray $g$ in $X$ converges to a point of the boundary $\partial_{QG}X$ and for every point $p$ in…

On any proper convex domain in real projective space there exists a natural Riemannian metric, the Blaschke metric. On the other hand, distances between points can be measured in the Hilbert metric. Using techniques of optimal control, we…

Two commonly studied compactifications of Teichm\"uller spaces of finite type surfaces with respect to the Teichm\"uller metric are the horofunction and visual compactifications. We show that these two compactifications are related, by…

Consider the Laplacian in a bounded domain in R^d with general (mixed) homogeneous boundary conditions. We prove that its eigenfunctions are `quasi-orthogonal' on the boundary with respect to a certain norm. Boundary orthogonality is proved…

The boundary behavior of the Bergman metric near a convex boundary point $z_0$ of a pseudoconvex domain $D\subset\CC^n$ is studied; it turns out that the Bergman metric at points $z\in D$ in direction of a fixed vector $X_0\in\CC^n$ tends…
