Caratheodory's axiom limits arbitrage in resource-limited systems.

Gromov proposed to extract the (differential) geometric content of a sub-riemannian space exclusively from its Carnot-Carathéodory distance. One of the most striking features of a regular sub-riemannian space is that it has at any point a metric tangent space with the algebraic structure of a Carnot group, hence a homo…

New insights into integrability and rectifiability in sub-Riemannian geometry.

Generalizes Carathéodory form for higher-order field theories.

Local rigidity results for Bergman and Kähler Carathéodory metrics on domains.

This article explores some properties of universal covers of compact Kahler manifolds, under the assumption of Caratheodory measure hyperbolicity. In particular, by comparing invariant volume forms, an inequality is established between the volume of canonical bundle of a compact Kahler manifolds and the Caratheodory me…

We study multi-parameter Carnot-Caratheodory balls, generalizing results due to Nagel, Stein, and Wainger in the single parameter setting. The main technical result is seen as a uniform version of the theorem of Frobenius. In addition, we study maximal functions associated to certain multi-parameter families of Carnot-…

Researchers confirm a conjecture about metrics on a specific Teichmüller space.

We show that on a certain class of bounded, complete Reinhardt domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ that enjoy a lot of symmetries, the Carathéodory pseudo-distance and the geodesic distance of the complete Kähler-Einstein metric with Ricci curvature $-1$ are different.

Paper solves Carathéodory's conjecture for $C^2$-regular convex surfaces.

The book explores Lie groups and Carnot-Carathéodory spaces, highlighting their applications in metric geometry and geometric group theory.

It was recently shown that the Carathéodory and Teichmüller metrics on the Teichmüller space of a closed surface do not coincide. On the other hand, Kra earlier showed that the metrics coincide when restricted to a Teichmüller disk generated by a differential with no odd-order zeros. Our aim is to classify Teichmüller …

New metric defined for bounded symmetric domains.

The paper examines convergence of distances in Lipschitz structures on manifolds.

We introduce a new class of unbounded model subdomains of $\mathbb{C}^2$ for the $\Box_b$ problem. Unlike previous finite type models, these domains need not be bounded by algebraic varieties. In this paper we obtain precise global estimates for the Carnot-Carathéodory metric induced on the boundary of such domains by …

The purpose of this note is introduce a new axiom (called the Descent Axiom) in the theory of $r$-spin cohomological field theories. This axiom explains the origin of gravitational descendants in this theory. Furthermore, the Descent Axiom immediately implies the Vanishing Axiom, explicating the latter (which has no a …

We study the class of transversal submanifolds. We characterize their blow-ups at transversal points and prove a negligibility theorem for their "generalized characteristic set", with respect to the Carnot-Carathéodory Hausdorff measure. This set is made by all points of non-maximal degree. Observing that C^1 submanifo…

Criterions for constancy of the holomorphic sectional curvature and the antiholomorphic sectional curvature are proved for almost Hermitian manifolds. It is shown, that an almost Hermitian manifold satisfying the axiom of antiholomorphic planes or the axiom of antiholomorphic spheres is a real or a complex space form.

The paper sketches a recent progress and formulates several open problems in studying equivariant quasiconformal and quasisymmetric homeomorphisms in negatively curved spaces as well as geometry and topology of noncompact geometrically finite negatively curved manifolds and their boundaries at infinity having Carnot--C…

In this paper we study the invariant Carnot-Caratheodory metrics on $SU(2)\simeq S^3$, $SO(3)$ and $SL(2)$ induced by their Cartan decomposition and by the Killing form. Beside computing explicitly geodesics and conjugate loci, we compute the cut loci (globally) and we give the expression of the Carnot-Caratheodory dis…

We consider the rate of volume growth of large Carnot-Carathéodory metric balls on a class of unbounded model hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^2$. When the hypersurface has a uniform global structure, we show that a metric ball of radius $δ\gg 1$ either has volume on the order of $δ^3$ or $δ^4$. We also give necessary and …

Here, an axiom of spheres in Finsler geometry is proposed and it is proved that if a Finslerian manifold satisfies the axiom of spheres then it is of constant flag curvature.

A Morse complex for Axiom A flows on smooth manifolds.

The paper establishes Schwarz type lemmas for holomorphic maps between pseudo-Hermitian and Hermitian manifolds.

As datasets capturing human choices grow in richness and scale -- particularly in online domains -- there is an increasing need for choice models that escape traditional choice-theoretic axioms such as regularity, stochastic transitivity, and Luce's choice axiom. In this work we introduce the Pairwise Choice Markov Cha…

Symmetry-breaking in three differential geometry conjectures.

Study Vassiliev invariants and periodic orbits of Axiom A flows.

The axiom of θ-holomorphic 2-planes is introduced. It is proved, that if an almost Hermitian manifold satisfies this axiom for a fixed θ, 0< θ< π/2, then it is a real space form.

Treating a conjecture, P^#P != NP, on the separation of complexity classes as an axiom, an implication is found in three manifold topology with little obvious connection to complexity theory. This is reminiscent of Harvey Friedman's work on finitistic interpretations of large cardinal axioms.

New definition of Rumin complex for nilpotent Lie groups.

It is known, that if a 2m-dimensional Kahler manifold satisfies the axiom of holomorphic 2n-spheres (1<n<m) or the axiom of antiholomorphic n-spheres (2<n), it is of constant holomorphic sectional curvature. In this paper the same result is obtained under weaker assumptions.

The notion of Courant algebroid was introduced by Liu, Weinstein and Xu in 1997. Its definition consists of five axioms and an assumption for a derivation. It is shown that two of the axioms and the assumption for the derivation follow from the rest of the axioms.

New findings on optimization landscape of Toeplitz covariance estimation.

We show that Caratheodory's conjecture, on umbilical points of closed convex surfaces, may be reformulated in terms of the existence of at least one umbilic in the graphs of functions f: R^2-->R whose gradient decays uniformly faster than 1/r. The divergence theorem then yields a pair of integral equations for the norm…

We studied the axiom of anti-invariant 2-spheres and the axiom of co-holomorphic $(2n+1)$-spheres. We proved that a nearly Kählerian manifold satisfying the axiom of anti-invariant 2-spheres is a space of constant holomorphic sectional curvature. We also showed that an almost Hermitian manifold $M$ of dimension $2m\geq…

New axioms justify ES without NRC, linking it to mean-ES portfolio selection.

The famous theorems of Cartan, related to the axiom of $r$-planes, and Leung-Nomizu about the axiom of $r$-spheres were extended to Kähler geometry by several authors. In this paper we replace the strong notions of totally geodesic submanifolds ($r$-planes) and extrinsic spheres ($r$-spheres) by a wider class of specia…
