A polarity of a projective plane is a map, often assumed to be involutive, mapping a generic point to a generic line and reciprocally. The most classical polarity is the polarity with respect to a conic, but other exist: the harmonic polarity with respect to a triangle, the polarities with respect to high-degree algebr…

After observing that the well-known convexity theorems of symplectic geometry also hold for compact contact manifolds with an effective action of a torus whose Reeb vector field corresponds to an element of the Lie algebra of the torus, we use this fact together with a recent symplectic orbifold version of Delzant's th…

In this paper we study the metric geometry of the space ΣΣ of positive invertible elements of a von Neumann algebra A{\mathcal A} with a finite, normal and faithful tracial state ττ. The trace induces an incomplete Riemannian metric <x,y>a=τ(ya1xa1)<x,y>_a=τ(ya^{-1}xa^{-1}), and though the techniques involved are quite different,…

An Einstein nilradical is a nilpotent Lie algebra, which can be the nilradical of a metric Einstein solvable Lie algebra. The classification of Riemannian Einstein solvmanifolds (possibly, of all noncompact homogeneous Einstein spaces) can be reduced to determining, which nilpotent Lie algebras are Einstein nilradicals…

We show that a pseudo-Anosov map on a boundary component of an irreducible 3-manifold has a power that partially extends to the interior if and only if its (un)stable lamination is a projective limit of meridians. The proof is through 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry, and involves an investigation of algebraic limits …

On the predual of a von Neumann algebra, we define a differentiable manifold structure and affine connections by embeddings into non-commutative L_p-spaces. Using the geometry of uniformly convex Banach spaces and duality of the L_p and L_q spaces for 1/p+1/q=1, we show that we can introduce the α-divergence, for αin (…
