We prove integral curvature bounds in terms of the Betti numbers for compact submanifolds of the Euclidean space with low codimension. As an application, we obtain topological obstructions for $\delta$-pinched immersions. Furthermore, we…

The fundamental axioms of the quantum theory do not explicitly identify the algebraic structure of the linear space for which orthogonal subspaces correspond to the propositions (equivalence classes of physical questions). The projective…

By recasting metrical geometry in a purely algebraic setting, both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries can be studied over a general field with an arbitrary quadratic form. Both an affine and a projective version of this new theory are…

Parametrization of qutrits on the complex projective plane CP^2 = SU(3)/U(2) is given explicitly. A set of constraints that characterize mixed state density matrices is found.

We derive and investigate lower bounds for the potential energy of finite spherical point sets (spherical codes). Our bounds are optimal in the following sense -- they cannot be improved by employing polynomials of the same or lower degrees…

We give a sufficient condition for a projective metric on a subset of a Euclidean space to admit a bi-Lipschitz embedding into Euclidean space of the same dimension.

Subspace codes are the $q$-analog of binary block codes in the Hamming metric. Here the codewords are vector spaces over a finite field. They have e.g. applications in random linear network coding, distributed storage, and cryptography. In…

We improve the best known lower bound for the dimension of radial projections of sets in the plane. We show that if $X,Y$ are Borel sets in $\R^2$, $X$ is not contained in any line and $\dim_H(X)>0$, then $$\sup\limits_{x\in X} \dim_H(\pi_x…

We verify a construction which, for $\Bbb K$ the reals, complex numbers, quaternions, or octonions, builds a spherical $t$-design by placing a spherical $t$-design on each $\Bbb K$-projective or $\Bbb K$-Hopf fiber associated to the points…

Quadratic algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras; they include the symmetry algebras of 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2 dimensions as special cases. The superintegrable systems are exactly solvable physical systems in classical…

If $K$ and $L$ are mutually dual closed convex cones in a Hilbert space with the metric projections onto them denoted by $P_K$ and $P_L$ respectively, then the following two assertions are equivalent: (i) $P_K$ is isotone with respect to…

Many applications require multi-dimensional numerical integration, often in the form of a cubature formula. These cubature formulas are desired to be positive and exact for certain finite-dimensional function spaces (and weight functions).…

The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations of band structures due to the rapid development of topological insulators and semi-metals. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many…

An explicit projective embedding of the moduli space of marked cubic surfaces is given. This embedding is equivariant under the Weyl group of type E6. The image is defined by a system of linear and cubic equations. To express the embedding…

In a previous work we proved that if a finite Borel measure $\mu$ in a Euclidean space has Hausdorff dimension smaller than a positive integer $k$, then the orthogonal projection onto almost every $k$-dimensional linear subspace is…

This paper explores a full generalization of the classical corner-vector method for constructing weighted spherical designs, which we call the {\it generalized corner-vector method}. First we establish a uniform upper bound for the degree…

By a result of Orlov there always exists an embedding of the derived category of a finite-dimensional algebra of finite global dimension into the derived category of a high-dimensional smooth projective variety. In this article we give some…

We construct symplectic embeddings of ellipsoids of dimension $2n \ge 6$ into the product of a 4-ball or 4-dimensional cube with Euclidean space. A sequence of these embeddings can be shown to be optimal.

This paper studies a uniform projection criterion for space-filling designs under the stratified $L_2$-discrepancy. The criterion, denoted by $\Phi_{SD}$, is the average squared stratified $L_2$-discrepancy over all two-dimensional…

We say a map f:X \to Y is an \epsilon-embedding if it is continuous and the diameter of the fibres is less than \epsilon. This type of maps is used in the notion of Urysohn width (sometimes referred to as Alexandrov width), a_n(X). It is…
