Approximate singular value decomposition in Banach spaces
I am interested in generalisations to Banach spaces of the following construction, which relates to the singular value decomposition of a finite-dimensional linear map. If $V$, $W$ are finite-...

distance distributions on a hypersphere?
Fix a real number $0\leq t\leq 1$ and an integer $n>1$. Let
$\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ denote the unit hypersphere. Define
$$d_N(n;t):=\max\sum_{i<j}\Vert P_i-P_j\Vert_2^t$$
where ...

Continuous extension preserving modulus of continuity
Let $X$ be a (non-empty) compact subset of $D(0,M):=\left\{x\in \mathbb{R}^n:\, \|x\|\leq M\right\}$, and let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be uniformly continuous; for some metric space $Y$. Are there any ...

A Pythagorian inequality characterization of inner-product spaces
Let $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ be a real normed space. For any points $A$ and $B$ in $X$, let $AB:=\|A-B\|$. Suppose that for any points $A$ and $B$ in $X$ and any straight line $\ell\subseteq X$ such that $B\...

Reference request: Projection operators in metric spaces
Given a metric space $(X,d)$ and a subset $S\subset X$, the projection $P_S$ onto $S$ is well-defined as a set valued function. I am interested in learning more about properties of these projections ...

Functional inequality under mean curvature flow
Let $\Sigma$ be a hypersurface in $\mathbb R^n$ and $\Sigma_t$ be a variation of $\Sigma$ under the mean curvature flow under an extra condition that ${\rm vol}_{n-1}(\Sigma)={\rm vol}_{n-1}(\Sigma_t)$...

Metric transforms that preserve $\ell^1$ embeddability
Consider a function $f$ from reals to reals such that $f$, when applied to pairwise Manhattan distances between $n$ points, always results in a set of Manhattan distances.
