We develop a new concept of non-positive curvature for metric spaces, based on intersection patterns of closed balls. In contrast to the synthetic approaches of Alexandrov and Buesemann, our concept also applies to metric spaces that might…

This survey paper presents the discrete group viewpoint on Kac-Moody groups. Over finite fields, the latter groups are finitely generated; they act on new buildings enjoying remarkable negative curvature properties. The study of these…

A new construction of naturally reductive spaces is presented. This construction gives a large amount of new families of naturally reductive spaces. First the infinitesimal models of the new naturally reductive spaces are constructed. A…

This paper studies sharp and rigid isoperimetric comparison theorems and asymptotic isoperimetric properties for small and large volumes on $N$-dimensional ${\rm RCD}(K,N)$ spaces $(X,\mathsf{d},\mathscr{H}^N)$. Moreover, we obtain almost…

Poisson structures vanishing linearly on a set of smooth closed disjoint curves are generic in the set of all Poisson structures on a compact connected oriented surface. We construct a complete set of invariants classifying these structures…

The goal of the paper is to set the foundations and prove some topological results about moduli spaces of non-smooth metric measure structures with non-negative Ricci curvature in a synthetic sense (via optimal transport) on a compact…

We study quasi-isometric embeddings of symmetric spaces and non-uniform irreducible lattices in semisimple higher rank Lie groups. We show that any quasi-isometric embedding between symmetric spaces of the same rank can be decomposed into a…

In the present paper we investigate geometric characteristics of compact metric spaces, which can be described in terms of Gromov-Hausdorff distances to simplexes, i.e., to finite metric spaces such that all their nonzero distances are…

A group structure of the discrete transformations (parity, time reversal and charge conjugation) for spinor field in de Sitter space are studied in terms of extraspecial finite groups. Two $CPT$ groups are introduced, the first group from…

A symplectic structure on the space of nondegenerate and nonparametrized curves in a locally affine manifold is defined. We also consider several interesting spaces of nondegenerate projective curves endowed with Poisson structures. This…

We provide a mathematically rigorous definition of local approximation and demonstrate its applicability to some interesting classes of structures. In particular, we prove that any compact simple Lie group is locally approximated by finite…

We study structural properties and the harmonic analysis of discrete subgroups of the Euclidean group. In particular, we 1. obtain an efficient description of their dual space, 2. develop Fourier analysis methods for periodic mappings on…

We study sets and groups definable in tame expansions of o-minimal structures. Let $\mathcal {\widetilde M}= \langle \mathcal M, P\rangle$ be an expansion of an o-minimal $\mathcal L$-structure $\cal M$ by a dense set $P$, such that three…

In this paper we study the local geometry of the stack of pointed $A_r$-stable curves. In particular, we analyze the deformation theory of $A_r$-stable curves and their automorphism groups in order to study the combinatorics of families of…

We study the simplicial order complexes obtained from free modules over finite local rings. These complexes arise naturally as geodesic spheres in Bruhat-Tits buildings over non-archimedean local fields. We establish two forms of rigidity,…

The discrete symmetries of the Dirac field on the de Sitter manifold are studied taking into account that this has two portions that can play the role of physical space-times, namely the expanding and a collapsing universes. The proper…

This is a survey of topological properties of open, complete nonpositively curved manifolds which may have infinite volume. Topics include topology of ends, restrictions on the fundamental group, as well as a review of known examples.

We construct a compactification of the Bruhat-Tits building associated to the group PGL(V) by attaching all the Bruhat-Tits buildings of PGL(W) for non-trivial subspaces W of V as a boundary.

We provide an axiomatic approach to the theory of local tangent cones of regular sub-Riemannian manifolds and the differentiability of mappings between such spaces. This axiomatic approach relies on a notion of a dilation structure which is…

We begin the study the algebraic topology of semi-coarse spaces, which are generalizations of coarse spaces that enable one to endow non-trivial `coarse-like' structures to compact metric spaces, something which is impossible in coarse…
