We consider mappings satisfying an upper bound for the distortion of families of curves. We establish lower bounds for the distortion of distances under such mappings. As applications, we obtain theorems on the discreteness of the limit…

We propose a novel method for determining the radius of a spherical surface based on the distances measured between points on this surface. We consider the most general case of determining the radius when the distances are measured with…

In this paper we study properties and invariants of matrix codes endowed with the rank metric, and relate them to the covering radius. We introduce new tools for the analysis of rank-metric codes, such as puncturing and shortening…

Recall that the radius of a compact metric space $(X, dist)$ is given by $rad\ X = \min_{x\in X} \max_{y\in X} dist(x,y)$. In this paper we generalize Berger's $\frac{1}{4}$-pinched rigidity theorem and show that a closed, simply connected,…

Consider an essentially nonbranching metric measure space with the measure contraction property of Ohta and Sturm, or with a Ricci curvature lower bound in the sense of Lott, Sturm and Villani. We prove a sharp upper bound on the inscribed…

We show that any Riemannian metric conformal to the round metric on $S^n$, for $n\geq 4$, arises as a limit of a sequence of Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on $S^n$ in the sense of uniform convergence of Riemannian…

The injectivity radius of a manifold is an important quantity, both from a theoretical point of view and in terms of numerical applications. It is the largest possible radius within which all geodesics are unique and length-minimizing. In…

The total diameter of a closed planar curve $C\subset R^2$ is the integral of its antipodal chord lengths. We show that this quantity is bounded below by twice the area of $C$. Furthermore, when $C$ is convex or centrally symmetric, the…

Optimal matrices for problems involving the matrix numerical radius often have fields of values that are disks, a phenomenon associated with partial smoothness. Such matrices are highly structured: we experiment in particular with the…

The numerical radius of a matrix is a scalar quantity that has many applications in the study of matrix analysis. Due to the difficulty in computing the numerical radius, inequalities bounding it have received a considerable attention in…

In this paper we study the geometry of metric spheres in the curve complex of a surface, with the goal of determining the "average" distance between points on a given sphere. Averaging is not technically possible because metric spheres in…

This paper presents a sharp upper bound for the spectral radius of simple digraphs with described number of arcs. Further, the extremal graphs which attain the maximum spectral radius among all simple digraphs with fixed arcs are…

We give a new characterisation of inner product spaces amongst normed vector spaces in terms of the maximal cirumradius of spheres. It turns out that a normed vector space $(X,\norm{\cdot})$ with $\dim X\geq 2$ is an inner product space if…

Let $G$ be a finite, connected graph and $v$ a vertex of $G$. The average distance and the eccentricity of $v$ in $G$ are defined as the arithmetic mean and the maximum, respectively, of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$.…

The space of shapes of a polyhedron with given total angles less than 2\pi at each of its n vertices has a Kaehler metric, locally isometric to complex hyperbolic space CH^{n-3}. The metric is not complete: collisions between vertices take…

The smallest hyperconvex metric space containing a given metric space X is called the tight span of X. It is known that tight spans have many nice geometric and topological properties, and they are gradually becoming a target of research of…

The paper reports a generalized expression for filling the congruent circles (of radius r) in a circle (of radius R). First, a generalized expression for the biggest circle (r) inscribed in the nth part of the bigger circle (R) was…

Let $M$ be a topological spherical space form, i.e. a smooth manifold whose universal cover is a homotopy sphere. We determine the number of path components of the space and moduli space of Riemannian metrics with positive scalar curvature…

For a fixed radius $r$ and a point $o$ in the curve complex of a surface, we define the sphere of radius $r$ to be the induced subgraph on the set of vertices of distance $r$ from $o$. We show that these spheres are almost simply connected…

Let $X$ be a compact real algebraic set of dimension $n$. We prove that every Euclidean continuous map from $X$ into the unit $n$-sphere can be approximated by regulous map. This strengthens and generalizes previously known results.
