Let K be an algebraically closed, complete nonarchimedean field and let X be a smooth K-curve. In this paper we elaborate on several aspects of the structure of the Berkovich analytic space X^an. We define semistable vertex sets of X^an and…
The aim of this article is to describe a class of *-algebras that allows to treat well-behaved algebras of unbounded operators independently of a representation. To this end, Archimedean ordered *-algebras (*-algebras whose real linear…
Orbits of families of vector fields on a subcartesian space are shown to be smooth manifolds. This allows for a global description of a smooth geometric structure on a family of manifolds in terms of a single object defined on the…
The interior structure of arbitrary sets of quaternion units is analyzed using general methods of the theory of matrices. It is shown that the units are composed of quadratic combinations of fundamental objects having a dual mathematical…
We characterize $M$-ideals in order smooth $\infty$-normed spaces by extending the notion of split faces of the state space to those of the quasi-state space. We also characterize approximate order unit spaces as those order smooth…
This paper concerns the characterisation of second order marginals for random sets in a discrete setting. Under the instance of unit covariances, this problem possesses a combinatorial symmetry, exploited jointly in the companion paper to…
In this article we obtain a complete description of the congruences of lines in $\p^4$ of order one provided that the fundamental surface $F$ is non-reduced (and possibly reducible) at one of its generic points, and their classification…
Let $\Omega$ be an open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $C^1$-boundary and $\Sigma$ be the skeleton of $\Omega$, which consists of points where the distance function to $\partial\Omega$ is not differentiable. This paper characterizes the cut…
Partially ordered sets (posets) play a universal role as an abstract structure in many areas of mathematics. For finite posets, an explicit enumeration of distinct partial orders on a set of unlabelled elements is known only up to a…
A basic problem in the theory of partially ordered vector spaces is to characterise those cones on which every order-isomorphism is linear. We show that this is the case for every Archimedean cone that equals the inf-sup hull of the sum of…
We consider partially ordered sets of combinatorial structures under consecutive orders, meaning that two structures are related when one embeds in the other such that `consecutive' elements remain consecutive in the image. Given such a…
The setting of metric spaces is very natural for numerous questions concerning manifolds, norms, and fractal sets, and a few of the main ingredients are surveyed here.
In this article we introduce the space of configurations of commuting elements in a topological group and show that it satisfies rational homological stability for the sequences of unitary, special unitary and symplectic groups. We also…
The main result of this article is a geometric interpretation of magnitude, a real-valued invariant of metric spaces. We introduce a Euclidean embedding of a (suitable) finite metric space $X$ such that the magnitude of $X$ can be expressed…
We introduce the concept of an obstacle skeleton which is a set of line segments inside a polygonal obstacle $\omega$ that can be used in place of $\omega$ when performing intersection tests for obstacle-avoiding network problems in the…
In this note, we find a sharp bound for the minimal number (or in general, indexing set) of subspaces of a fixed (finite) codimension needed to cover any vector space V over any field. If V is a finite set, this is related to the problem of…
In this paper, we consider the linear direct sum of a real normed linear space with an order unit space and with a base normed space to obtain respectively a new order unit space and a new base normed space. As a consequence, we find that…
Magnitude of a finite metric space and the related notion of magnitude functions on metric spaces is an active area of research in algebraic topology. Magnitude originally arose in the context of biology, where it represents the number of…
Given a point set $U$ in an $n$-dimensional affine space of size $q^{n-1}-\varepsilon$, we obtain information on the structure of the set of directions that are not determined by $U$, and we describe an application in the theory of partial…
A quantitative model of concurrent interaction is introduced. The basic objects are linear combinations of partial order relations, acted upon by a group of permutations that represents potential non-determinism in synchronisation. This…
