The classical theory of attractive central force problem on the standard (flat) Euclidean plane can be generalized to surfaces by reformulating the basic underlying physical principles by means of differential geometry. Attractive central…
Shape optimization based on the shape calculus is numerically mostly performed by means of steepest descent methods. This paper provides a novel framework to analyze shape-Newton optimization methods by exploiting a Riemannian perspective.…
In this paper we investigate two important properties of metric measure spaces satisfying the reduced curvature-dimension condition for negative values of the dimension parameter: the existence of a transport map between two suitable…
This paper addresses an open problem in the area of linear quadratic optimal control. We consider the regular, infinite-horizon, stability-modulo-a-subspace, indefinite linear quadratic problem under the assumption that the dynamics are…

This paper is concerned with the study of a model case of first order Hamilton-Jacobi equations posed on a "junction", that is to say the union of a finite number of half-lines with a unique common point. The main result is a comparison…
An optimal control problem described by the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation can be developed into a problem that can be solved by general computational fluid dynamics packages. We describe how this formulation would allow a classical…
We present an overview of recent developments concerning modifications of the geometry of space-time to describe various physical processes of interactions among classical and quantum configurations. We concentrate in two main lines of…
We study quadratic moduli schemes $X$ of algebra laws on a fixed vector space $W$ under the transport-of-structure action of $GL(W)$ on $Hom(W^{\otimes 2},W)$. We construct an intrinsic three-term deformation complex on $X$ whose fibers…
This is a set of expository lecture notes created originally for a graduate course on holomorphic curves taught at ETH Zurich and the Humboldt University Berlin in 2009/2010. The notes are still incomplete, but due to recent requests from…
Distance geometry is the study of the arrangements of points in space using only the mutual distances between them. The basic idea in this letter is to use distance geometry for thermodynamics studies of small clusters in the microcanonical…
These are notes from the lectures I gave at the Oberwolfach seminar `Tensor Triangular Geometry and Interactions' which was held in October 2025. The aim of these notes is to give an introduction to tensor triangular geometry, for both…
This is a slightly revised version of lectures notes for a course in Summer 2022 joint between Bonn and Copenhagen, intended as a stable citable version. The goal of this course is to make our general approach to analytic geometry via…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the space of embedded, which may be improper, free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with uniform area and Morse index upper bound is compact in the sense of smoothly graphical…
Hybrid dynamical systems are systems which undergo both continuous and discrete transitions. The Bolza problem from optimal control theory was applied to these systems and a hybrid version of Pontryagin's maximum principle was presented.…
We propose a generalization of two classes of Lie-Hamilton systems on the Euclidean plane to two-dimensional curved spaces, leading to novel Lie-Hamilton systems on Riemannian spaces (flat $2$-torus, product of hyperbolic lines, sphere and…
The Hamilton Jacobi Bellman Equation (HJB) provides the globally optimal solution to large classes of control problems. Unfortunately, this generality comes at a price, the calculation of such solutions is typically intractible for systems…
Lecture notes of a short course on geometric control theory given in Brasov, Romania (August 2018) and in Jyv\"askyl\"a, Finland (February 2019).
The present work investigates the evolution of linear perturbations of time-dependent ideal fluid flows with advected quantities, expressed in terms of the second order variations of the action corresponding to a Lagrangian defined on a…
These are lecture notes from a course given at the summer school "Heat kernels and spectral geometry: from manifolds to graphs" in Bregenz, Austria, 2022. They are designed to be accessible to doctoral level students, and include background…
