Let \mathcal{L}(X,Y) denote the normed vector space of all continuous operators from \(X\) to \(Y\), \(X^*\) be the dual space of \(X\), and \(\mathcal{K}(X,Y)\) denote the collection of all compact […]
Quantum metrics in the sense of Rieffel were introduced to prove some statements arising in the high-energy physics literature. Since then, the area of quantum metric geometry has been used […]
We introduce a family of norms on the space of self-adjoint trace class symmetric tensor power of linear operators acting on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Our technique is to extend to infinite dimension an original and nice idea of a very recent result by K. Aguilar, Á. Chávez, S. R. Garcia and J. Volčič, in […]
Let x_1,...,x_n be an overdetermined spanning set for the Euclidean space R^k, where n > k. Let L be the integer span of these vectors. Then L is an additive […]
We introduce the notion of linear multifractional stable sheets in the broad sense (LMSS) to include both linear multifractional Brownian sheets and linear multifractional stable sheets. The purpose of the […]
Graph products of groups were introduced in E. Green’s thesis in the 90’s as generalizations of Right-Angled Artin Groups. These have become objects of intense study due to their key roles in topology and group theory. Recently, Caspers and Fima introduced graph products of von Neumann algebras. Since their inception, several structural aspects such as […]
Given a unital AF (approximately finite-dimensional) algebra A equipped with a faithful tracial state, we equip each (norm-closed two-sided) ideal of A with a metrized quantum vector bundle structure, when canonically viewed as a module over A, in the sense of Latrémolière using previous work of Aguilar and Latrémolière. Moreover, we show that convergence of […]
We comment on the main steps to take when studying some variational problems. This includes optimization problems arising in geometry, machine learning, non linear elasticity, fluid mechanics, etc... For the sake of illustration, in this talk, we keep our focus on a minimization problem obtained after a time-discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Elementary geometric […]
In this talk we discuss the Hilbert space approach, or the variational approach, in the study of questions of existence and multiplicity for some two-point boundary-value problems for nonlinear, second order, ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We illustrate the use of the Hilbert space approach in obtaining some old existence results for periodic solutions of a […]
Using elementary methods from differential equations and analysis we will consider the existence and multiplicity of solutions to semilinear partial differential equations with boundary conditions.
The Effros-Shen algebra corresponding to an irrational number $\theta$ can be described by an inductive sequence of direct sums of matrix algebras, where the continued fraction expansion of $\theta$ encodes the dimensions of the summands, and how the matrix algebras at the nth level fit into the summands at the (n+1)th level. In recent work, […]
Title: Developments in Noncommutative Fractal Geometry Abstract: As a noncommutative fractal geometer, I look for new expressions of the geometry of a fractal through the lens of noncommutative geometry. At the quantum scale, the wave function of a particle, but not its path in space, can be studied. Riemannian methods often rely on smooth paths to encode […]
