In this paper we study the ideal boundaries of surfaces admitting total curvature as a continuation of [Sy2] and [Sy3]. The ideal boundary of an Hadamard manifold is defined to be the equivalence classes of rays. This equivalence relation is the asymptotic relation of rays, defined by Busemann [Bu]. The asymptotic relation is not symmetric in general. However in Hadamard manifolds this becomes symmetric. Here it is essential that the manifolds are focal point free.

Using Busemann function of an Hadamard manifold X we define the barycenter map from the space 𝒫+(∂X, dθ) of probability measures having positive density on the ideal boundary ∂X to X. The space 𝒫+(∂X, dθ) admits geometrically a fiber space structure over X from Fisher information geometry. Following the arguments in [E. Douady and C. Earle, Conformally natural extension of homeomorphisms of the circle, Acta Math.157 (1986) 23–48; G. Besson, G. Courtois and S. Gallot, Entropies et rigidités des espaces localement symétriques de coubure strictement négative, Geom. Funct. Anal.5 (1995) 731–799; Minimal entropy and Mostow's rigidity theorems, Ergodic Theory Dynam. Systems16 (1996) 623–649], we exhibit that under certain geometrical hypotheses a homeomorphism Φ of the ideal boundary ∂X induces, by the aid of push-forward, an isometry of X whose extension is Φ.

We introduce the notion of controlled products on metric spaces as a generalization of Gromov products, and construct boundaries by using controlled products, which we call the Gromov boundaries. It is shown that the Gromov boundary with respect to a controlled product on a proper metric space is the ideal boundary of a coarse compactification of the space. It is also shown that there is a bijective correspondence between the set of all coarse equivalence classes of controlled products and the set of all equivalence classes of coarse compactifications.

In this article, we present recent developments of information geometry, namely, geometry of the Fisher metric, dualistic structures, and divergences on the space of probability measures, particularly the theory of geodesics of the Fisher metric. Moreover, we consider several facts concerning the barycenter of probability measures on the ideal boundary of a Hadamard manifold from a viewpoint of the information geometry.

We present a geometric approach to the study of singular switched linear systems, defining a Lie group action on the differentiable manifold consisting of the matrices defining their subsystems with orbits coinciding with equivalence classes under an equivalence relation which preserves reachability and derive miniversal (orthogonal) deformations of the system. We relate this with some new results on reachability of such systems.

The existence of apparently coincidental equalities (also called Wilf-equivalences) between the enumeration sequences or generating functions of various hereditary classes of combinatorial structures has attracted significant interest. We investigate such coincidences among non-crossing matchings and a variety of other Catalan structures including Dyck paths, 231-avoiding permutations and plane forests. In particular we consider principal subclasses defined by not containing an occurrence of a single given structure. An easily computed equivalence relation among structures is described such that if two structures are equivalent then the associated principal subclasses have the same enumeration sequence. We give an asymptotic estimate of the number of equivalence classes of this relation among structures of size $n$ and show that it is exponentially smaller than the $n^{th}$ Catalan number. In other words these "coincidental" equalities are in fact very common among principal subclasses. Our results also allow us to prove in a unified and bijective manner several known Wilf-equivalences from the literature.

A natural approach to topology which emphasizes its geometric essence independent of the notion of points is given by the concept of frame (for instance [4], [8]). We consider this a good formalization of the intuitive perception of a space as given by the “places” of non-trivial extent with appropriate geometric relations between them. Viewed from this position, points are artefacts determined by collections of places which may in some sense by considered as collapsing or contracting; the precise meaning of the latter as well as possible notions of equivalence being largely arbitrary, one may indeed have different notions of point on the same “space”. Of course, the well-known notion of a point as a homomorphism into 2 evidently fits into this pattern by the familiar correspondence between these and the completely prime filters. For frames equipped with a diameter as considered in this paper, we introduce a natural alternative, the Cauchy points. These are the obvious counterparts, for metric locales, of equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences familiar from the classical description of completion of metric spaces: indeed they are decreasing sequences for which the diameters tend to zero, identified by a natural equivalence relation.

In the papers [11] and [18] Rohlin and Thom have introduced an equivalence relation into the set of compact orientable (not necessarily connected) differentiable manifolds, which, roughly speaking, is described in the following manner: two differentiable manifolds are equivalent (cobordantes), when they together form the boundary of a bounded differentiable manifold. The equivalence classes can be added and multiplied in a natural way and form a graded algebra Ω relative to the addition, the multiplication and the dimension of manifolds. The precise structures of the groups of cobordism Ωk of dimension k are not known thoroughly. Thom [18] has determined the free part of Ω and also calculated explicitly Ωk for 0 ≦ k ≦ 7.

In this article, we prove that the maximum rank r of the Ricci tensor of a Cartan–Hadamard manifold Mn satisfies the inequality 2r - 1 ≥ n - s, where n is the dimension and s is the core number, which measures the flatness of Mn. Examples show that this lower bound is sharp.
