Abstract: The three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations describe the motion of an ideal fluid, yet the mechanisms that govern the possible loss of regularity of smooth solutions remain only partially understood. A classical result of Beale, Kato, and Majda shows that if a smooth solution breaks down in finite time, then the time integral of the […]
Abstract: In general, the objective of algebraic topology is to classify spaces using some algebraic invariants or up to some notion of equivalence. In the area of equivariant homotopy theory, the goal is the same but now spaces equipped with a group action are considered and algebraic invariants of choice are homotopy groups. It turns […]
Abstract: Let C be a compact convex set (in a locally convex topological vector space). By Choquet’s theorem, every point in C is the barycenter of a probability measure supported on the extreme points. When this representing measure is unique, C is called a simplex. Simplices arise naturally in various fields of mathematics: the space […]
Abstract: We study metrics on completely positive maps, and in particular on quantum channels, induced by seminorms from noncommutative geometry. Using an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Choi–Jamiołkowski correspondence, we construct such metrics and show that, under suitable assumptions, they satisfy stability and chaining. I will present the main ideas and explain how spectral triples and […]
Abstract: An isometry between two normed vector spaces is a linear map that preserves the norm (i.e., the length of each output agrees with the length of its input). For […]
