On global inverse and implicit functions

Abstract

Since the Hadamard Theorem, several metric and topological conditions have emerged in the literature to date, yielding global inversion and implicit theorems for functions in different settings. Relevant examples are the mappings between infinite-dimensional Banach-Finsler manifolds, which are the focus of this work. Emphasis is given to the nonlinear Fredholm operators of nonnegative index between Banach spaces. The results are based on good local behavior of $f$ at every $x$, namely: $f$ is a local homeomorphism or $f$ is locally equivalent to a projection. The general structure includes a condition that ensures a global property for the fibres of $f$, ideally, expecting to conclude that $f$ is a global diffeomorphism or equivalent to a global projection. A review of such these results and some relationships between different criteria are shown. Also, in this context, a global version of Graves Theorem is obtained.

$β$-Uniform Convexity and Divisible Domains

Divisible convex sets have long been important in the study of Hilbert geometries. When a divisible convex set is an ellipsoid, the Hilbert geometry it induces is the hyperbolic space. In general, strictly convex divisible domains exhibit negative curvature properties, but only the ellipsoid is a CAT(0) space. The notion of p-uniform convexity from the theory of Banach spaces has been proposed by Shin-Ichi Ohta as a generalization of the Alexandrov-Toponogov comparison theorems to Finsler manifolds. We prove that a natural Finsler metric on a strictly convex divisible domain is $β$-uniformly convex, where the constant $β$ is related to the regularity of the boundary. We use this to show, with AI assistance, that the Hilbert metric, under suitable local and scale-dependent assumptions, is $β$-uniformly convex on such domains.

A positive solution to the $L^p$ projection centroid conjecture

In a classical paper [21] in 2000, Lutwak-Yang-Zhang established the $L^p$ analog of the Petty projection inequality and the $L^p$ analog of the Busemann-Petty centroid inequality. In Section 7 of [21], Lutwak-Yang-Zhang proposed the important $L^p$ projection centroid conjecture. We give a positive solution to the $L^p$ projection centroid conjecture in this work.

Minimal central slices of the regular simplex

We prove that minimal-volume hyperplane sections of the regular simplex through its centroid are parallel to a facet. The proof combines variational methods with Fourier-analytic techniques and zero-diminishing arguments to show that every critical normal vector has at most three distinct non-zero coordinates. Analysis of the two- and three-value cases then yields the sharp lower bound.
