An elementary solution of the polarization problem

By distilling and combining earlier arguments, we give a self-contained and entirely elementary proof of the strong and real linear polarization inequalities established by Martínez and Ortega-Moreno. Specifically, for any unit vectors $u_1,\ldots,u_n\in\mathbb{R}^d$, there exists a unit vector $v\in\mathbb{R}^d$ such that $$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{\langle u_i,v\rangle^2}\le n^2. $$ As an immediate consequence, we recover the real linear polarization inequality $$\prod_{i=1}^n |\langle u_i,v\rangle|\ge n^{-n/2}. $$

Gromov-Hausdorff distance and stability of dynamical systems

We introduce the notion of an F-space - a set equipped with a family of generalized pseudometrics and marked points, and construct the categorical Gromov-Hausdorff distance for F-spaces. Based on this, we propose a new definition of the distance between dynamical systems, understood in a broad sense as parameterized families of maps. The main focus is on local dynamics: we prove the preservation of Lyapunov stability and asymptotic stability under limit transitions with respect to the new distance (in the latter case, assuming a common radius of attraction). It is established that the class of stable systems is a closed and nowhere dense subset in the space of compact dynamical systems. Next, we investigate the properties of the Hausdorff map, which induces an F-space structure on the family of subsets. In the final part, we introduce another modified version of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance for dynamical systems and use it to calculate the exact distance between torus translations for a non-resonant vector.

On Foliated Optimal Transport

In this paper we introduce a geometrically constrained optimal transport problem on Riemannian manifolds endowed with a Borel foliation, in which mass is transported only within individual leaves. We characterize the existence of foliated transport plans through the equality of the transverse projections of the marginals and show that the corresponding quadratic transport cost decomposes into a measurable family of leafwise optimal transport problems. We also formulate the problem as a classical Kantorovich problem with an extended-valued leafwise cost. Finally, we introduce a foliated continuity equation and establish a Benamou-Brenier formula relating the static and dynamical foliated formulations.
