This paper studies a dyadic version of fractional Sobolev spaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n\geq 1$. It provides new proofs of the corresponding fractional Sobolev embedding as well as the algebra property of the spaces, which rely solely on…

In this note we formulate and prove a version of Cartan decomposition for holomorphic loop groups, similar to Cartan decomposition for $p$-adic loop groups, discussed proved by Garland (and later by the authors by geometric mathods). The…

We prove dilation invariant inequalities involving radial functions, poliharmonic operators and weights that are powers of the distance from the origin. Then we discuss the existence of extremals and in some cases we compute the best…

We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…

We study the topology of moduli spaces of closed linkages in \R^d depending on a length vector \ell\in \R^n. In particular, we use equivariant Morse theory to obtain information on the homology groups of these spaces, which works best for…

The main goal of this paper is to introduce a new fractional anisotropic Sobolev space with variable exponent where the basic qualitative properties (completeness, separability, reflexivity, ...) are established, including the continuous…

The main theorem of this paper asserts that the inclusion of the space of projective Lagrangian planes into the space of Lagrangian submanifolds of complex projective space induces an injective homomorphism of fundamental groups. We…

In this note we present a brief overview of variational methods to solve homogenization problems. The purpose is to give a first insight on the subject by presenting some fundamental theoretical tools, both classical and modern. We conclude…

The objective of this paper is to introduce and study a complicated nonlinear system, called coupled variational-hemivariational inequalities, which is described by a highly nonlinear coupled system of inequalities on Banach spaces. We…

We discuss the notion of basic cohomology for Dirac structures and, more generally, Lie algebroids. We then use this notion to characterize the obstruction to a variational formulation of Dirac dynamics.

Using Nadler's Geometric Satake Equivalence for real reductive groups, we obtain a description of the equivariant homology of the loop space of splitting-rank symmetric spaces in terms of the relative dual group of the space. The…

We consider the classical Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces defined via differences and prove a homogeneity property for functions with bounded support in the frame of these spaces. As the proof is based on compact embeddings between the…

Loop invariants are properties of a program loop that hold before and after each iteration of the loop. They are often employed to verify programs and ensure that algorithms consistently produce correct results during execution.…

We present a straightforward and self-contained introduction to the basics of the loop approach to quantum gravity, and a derivation of what is arguably its key result, namely the spectral analysis of the area operator. We also discuss the…

We develop a homotopical variant of the classic notion of an algebraic theory as a tool for producing deformations of homotopy theories. From this, we extract a framework for constructing and reasoning with obstruction theories and spectral…

In this article, we pursue the study begun in \cite{Lup02} on the cohomology of rationally elliptic coformal spaces. Consequently, we complete, for such spaces, the proof of Lupton's conjecture and deduce Hilali's.

We propose the use of algebras of generalized functions for the analysis of certain highly singular problems in the calculus of variations. After a general study of extremal problems on open subsets of Euclidean space in this setting we…

The total homology of the loop space of the configuration space of ordered distinct n points in R^m has a structure of a Hopf algebra defined by the 4-term relations if m>2. We describe a relation of between the cohomology of this loop…

The article deals with a simplified proof of the Sobolev embedding theorem for Lizorkin--Triebel spaces (that contain the $L_p$-Sobolev spaces $H^s_p$ as special cases). The method extends to a proof of the corresponding fact for general…

We show that the definition of an algebraic basis for a vector space allows the construction of an isomorphism with the one here called Algebraic Vector Space. Although the concept does not bring anything new, we mention some of the…
