On the Lifshits Constant for Hyperspaces

K. Leśniak (2007)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

The Lifshits theorem states that any k-uniformly Lipschitz map with a bounded orbit on a complete metric space X has a fixed point provided k < ϰ(X) where ϰ(X) is the so-called Lifshits constant of X. For many spaces we have ϰ(X) > 1. It is interesting whether we can use the Lifshits theorem in the theory of iterated function systems. Therefore we investigate the value of the Lifshits constant for several classes of hyperspaces.

Ordinary differential equations and their exponentials

Anders Kock, Gonzalo Reyes (2006)

Open Mathematics

In the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry, we discuss vector fields/ordinary differential equations as actions; in particular, we exploit function space formation (exponential spaces) in the category of actions.

Principal bundles, groupoids, and connections

Anders Kock (2007)

Banach Center Publications

We clarify in which precise sense the theory of principal bundles and the theory of groupoids are equivalent; and how this equivalence of theories, in the differentiable case, reflects itself in the theory of connections. The method used is that of synthetic differential geometry.
