In this note the long standing problem of the definition of a Poisson bracket in the framework of a multisymplectic formulation of classical field theory is solved. The new bracket operation can be applied to forms of arbitary degree.…

Almost-isometries are quasi-isometries with multiplicative constant one. Lifting a pair of metrics on a compact space gives quasi-isometric metrics on the universal cover. Under some additional hypotheses on the metrics, we show that there…

We show that in the framework of CAT(0) spaces, any convex combination of two mappings which are firmly nonexpansive -- or which satisfy the more general property $(P_2)$ -- is asymptotically regular, conditional on its fixed point set…

We introduce a notion of a weak Poisson structure on a manifold $M$ modeled on a locally convex space. This is done by specifying a Poisson bracket on a subalgebra $\cA \subeq C^\infty(M)$ which has to satisfy a non-degeneracy condition…

We consider a class of \textit{factorizable} Poisson brackets which includes almost all reasonable Poisson structures. A particular case of the factorizable brackets are those associated with symplectic Lie algebroids. The BRST theory is…

We consider a class of abstract quasilinear parabolic problems with lower--order terms exhibiting a prescribed singular structure. We prove well--posedness and Lipschitz continuity of associated semiflows. Moreover, we investigate global…

This paper studies least-square regression penalized with partly smooth convex regularizers. This class of functions is very large and versatile allowing to promote solutions conforming to some notion of low-complexity. Indeed, they force…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable manifold and $\mathcal{P}(M)$ the space of Poisson structures on $M$. We construct a Poisson bracket on $\mathcal{P}(M)$ depending on a choice of volume form. The Hamiltonian flow of the bracket acts on…

Using finite difference operators, we define a notion of boundary and surface measure for configuration sets under Poisson measures. A Margulis-Russo type identity and a co-area formula are stated with applications to deviation inequalities…

We prove that equality within the Minkowski inequality for asymptotically flat static manifolds is achieved only by slices of Schwarzschild space.

In this article, we extend the capstan equation to non-circular geometries. We derive a closed form solution for a membrane with a zero Poisson's ratio (or a string with an arbitrary Poisson's ratio) supported by a rigid prism (at…

We show that there is an hierarchy of intersection rigidity properties of sets in a closed symplectic manifold: some sets cannot be displaced by symplectomorphisms from more sets than the others. We also find new examples of rigidity of…

We prove a normal form theorem for Poisson structures around Poisson transversals (also called cosymplectic submanifolds), which simultaneously generalizes Weinstein's symplectic neighborhood theorem from symplectic geometry and Weinstein's…

Using a result of J-M. Bony, we prove the weak involutivity of truncated microsupports. More precisely, given a sheaf $F$ on a real manifold and an integer $k$, if two functions vanish on the truncated microsupport $Ss_k(F)$, then so does…

In earlier work we have shown that the moduli space $N$ of flat connections for the (trivial) $\roman{SU(2)}$-bundle on a closed surface of genus $\ell \geq 2$ inherits a structure of stratified symplectic space with two connected strata…

This note presents two results. First, it shows that under mild conditions, a decision problem is quasi-concave if the set of optimal actions is convex under every belief. Second, it shows that if a decision problem is quasi-concave, then…

A bi-Hamiltonian structure is a pair of Poisson structures $\mathcal P$, $\mathcal Q$ which are compatible, meaning that any linear combination $\alpha \mathcal P + \beta \mathcal Q$ is again a Poisson structure. A bi-Hamiltonian structure…

We establish the following uniformization result for metric spaces $X$ of finite Hausdorff 2-measure. If $X$ is homeomorphic to a smooth 2-manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary, then we show that $X$ admits a quasiconformal almost…

In this work, we prove that if a uniformly separated sequence in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is uniformly quasicrystalline and converges rapidly enough to a discrete set $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ having the same separation radius as the sequence, then $X$…

We define a (co-)Poisson (co)algebra of curves on a bordered surface. A bordered surface is a surface whose boundary have marked points. Curves on the bordered surface are oriented loops and oriented arcs whose endpoints in the set of…
