Local rigidity proved for convex hypersurfaces in spaces of constant curvature.

Study on diffeologies on locally convex spaces and smooth multiplication of distributions.

We prove that the torsion of any closed space curve which bounds a simply connected locally convex surface vanishes at least 4 times. This answers a question of Rosenberg related to a problem of Yau on characterizing the boundary of positively curved disks in Euclidean space. Furthermore, our result generalizes the 4 v…

This paper is devoted to $C^2$ a priori estimates for strictly locally convex radial graphs with prescribed Weingarten curvature and boundary in space forms. By constructing two-step continuity process and applying degree theory arguments, existence results in space forms are established for prescribed Gauss curvature …

We study diffeologies on locally convex spaces and their application to smooth multiplication of distributions.

We introduce a new family of affine metrics on a locally strictly convex surface $M$ in affine 4-space. Then, we define the symmetric and antisymmetric equiaffine planes associated with each metric. We show that if $M$ is immersed in a locally strictly convex hyperquadric, then the symmetric and the antisymmetric plane…

We obtain $C^2$ a priori estimates for solutions of the nonlinear second-order elliptic equation related to the geometric problem of finding a strictly locally convex hypersurface with prescribed curvature and boundary in a space form. Under the assumption of a strictly locally convex subsolution, we establish existenc…

Recently, based on the idea of randomizing space theory, random convex analysis has been being developed in order to deal with the corresponding problems in random environments such as analysis of conditional convex risk measures and the related variational problems and optimization problems. Random convex analysis is …

Proof shows local convexity implies global convexity in special geometric spaces.

This work is devoted to a systematic study of symplectic convexity for integrable Hamiltonian systems with elliptic and focus-focus singularities. A distinctive feature of these systems is that their base spaces are still smooth manifolds (with boundary and corners), similarly to the toric case, but their associated in…

Study flow on de Sitter space for convex hypersurfaces.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponentiation of finite-dimensional real Lie algebras of linear operators on complete Hausdorff locally convex spaces are obtained, focused on the equicontinuous case - in particular, necessary conditions for exponentiation to compact Lie groups are established. Applications…

The study explores convex unions and completions in simplicial pseudomanifolds, revealing unexpected behavior.

Geometric inequalities for static convex domains in hyperbolic space proved.

The existence of a smooth complete strictly locally convex hypersurface with prescribed scalar curvature and asymptotic boundary at infinity in $\mathbb{H}^{3}$ is proved under the assumption that there exists a strictly locally convex subsolution.

The paper proves geometric inequalities for pinched convex hypersurfaces in de Sitter space.

For an infinite cardinal $κ$ let $\ell_2(κ)$ be the linear hull of the standard othonormal base of the Hilbert space $\ell_2(κ)$ of density $κ$. We prove that a non-separable convex subset $X$ of density $κ$ in a locally convex linear metric space if homeomorphic to the space (i) $\ell_2^f(κ)$ if and only if $X$ can be…

Following the unified approach of A. Kriegl and P.W. Michor (1997) for a treatment of global analysis on a class of locally convex spaces known as convenient, we give a generalization of Rashevsky-Chow's theorem for control systems in regular connected manifolds modelled on convenient (infinite-dimensional) locally con…

A (positive) locally convex curve in the 2-sphere is a curve with positive geodesic curvature (i.e., which always turns left). In the 3-sphere, it is a curve with positive torsion. In this work we discussed the topology of spaces of such curves with prescribed initial and final jets. The case of the 2-sphere is underst…

We consider a global, nonlinear version of the Whitney extension problem for manifold-valued smooth functions on closed domains $C$, with non-smooth boundary, in possibly non-compact manifolds. Assuming $C$ is a submanifold with corners, or is compact and locally convex with rough boundary, we prove that the restrictio…

We show that every finite dimensional Hausdorff (not necessarily paracompact, not necessarily second countable) $C^r$-manifold can be embedded into a weakly complete vector space, i.e. a locally convex topological vector space of the form ${\mathbb R}^I$ for an uncountable index set $I$ and determine the minimal cardin…

Study first-order locally convex Lie algebroids in Bastiani calculus.

The paper proves new inequalities for convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic and spherical spaces.

We show how to construct the nonstandard hull of certain infinite-dimensional Lie algebras in order to generalize a theorem of Pestov on the enlargeability of Banach-Lie algebras. In the process, we consider a nonstandard smoothness condition on functions between locally convex spaces to ensure that the induced functio…

Frame flows on certain symmetric spaces mix exponentially.

We show that an infinite dimensional Lie group in Milnor's sense has the strong Trotter property if it is locally $μ$-convex. This is a continuity condition imposed on the Lie group multiplication that generalizes the triangle inequality for locally convex vector spaces, and is equivalent to $C^0$-continuity of the evo…

The study proves properties of 4D projective manifolds and builds non-hyperbolic examples.

In the 1920's Marston Morse developed what is now known as Morse theory trying to study the topology of the space of closed curves on S^2. We propose to attack a very similar problem, which 80 years later remains open, about the topology of the space of closed curves on S^2 which are locally convex (i.e., without infle…

Study coning totally geodesic boundaries of hyperbolic manifolds.

Locally convex classes on manifolds linked to Ricci curvature bounds.

We prove a theorem of Hadamard-Stoker type: a connected locally convex complete hypersurface immersed in $H^n \times R$ (n>1), where $H^n$ is n-dimensional hyperbolic space, is embedded and homeomorphic either to the n-sphere or to $R^n$. In the latter case it is either a vertical graph over a convex domain in $H^n$ or…

Locally convex bialgebroids reconstruct Lie groupoids of orbits.

This paper constructs a CW complex homotopy equivalent to spaces of locally convex curves.

We prove a Frobenius theorem for Banach distributions on manifolds that are modelled over locally convex spaces. Moreover, we recall how Frobenius theorems can be applied to infinite-dimensional Lie groups and obtain, that given a Lie subalgebra of the Lie algebra of a Lie group that is modelled over a locally convex s…

We show that the torsion of any simple closed curve $Γ$ in Euclidean 3-space changes sign at least $4$ times provided that it is star-shaped and locally convex with respect to a point $o$ in the interior of its convex hull. The latter condition means that through each point $p$ of $Γ$ there passes a plane $H$, not cont…

The paper explores different smooth map notions on convex sets and their relationships.

A smooth curve $γ: [0,1] \to \Ss^2$ is locally convex if its geodesic curvature is positive at every point. J. A. Little showed that the space of all locally convex curves $γ$ with $γ(0) = γ(1) = e_1$ and $γ'(0) = γ'(1) = e_2$ has three connected components $L_{-1,c}$, $L_{+1}$, $L_{-1,n}$. The space $\cL_{-1,c}$ is kn…

New proof of Alesker's Irreducibility Theorem using localization techniques.

Localizes curvature estimates for evolving hypersurfaces under various flows.

A spherical set is called convex if for every pair of its points there is at least one minimal geodesic segment that joins these points and lies in the set. We prove that for n >= 3 a complete locally-convex (topological) immersion of a connected (n-1)-manifold into the n-sphere is a surjection onto the boundary of a c…

Study on anisotropic curvature flow for noncompact convex hypersurfaces.

Almost all local minima in neural networks are strongly convex.

We analyze the possibility of defining infinite-dimensional manifolds as ringed spaces. More precisely, we consider three definitions of manifolds modeled on locally convex spaces: in terms of charts and atlases, in terms of ringed spaces, and in terms of functored spaces, as introduced by Douady in his thesis. It is s…

We construct geodesics in the Wasserstein space of probability measure along which all the measures have an upper bound on their density that is determined by the densities of the endpoints of the geodesic. Using these geodesics we show that a local Poincaré inequality and the measure contraction property follow from t…
