On metric convexity, the discrete Hahn-Banach theorem, separating systems and sets of points forming only acute angles by Randriambololona, Hugues is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

What is On metric convexity, the discrete Hahn-Banach theorem, separating systems and sets of points forming only acute angles about?

This text has three parts. The first one is largely autobiographical, hence my use of the first person. There I recall how Gerard Cohen influenced important parts of my research. The second is of a more classic mathematical nature. I present a discrete analogue of the Hahn-Banach theorem, which serves as a basis for generalizing the notion of separating systems in the context of metric convexity. The third one aims at building a bridge between two communities of researchers, those interested in separating systems, and those interested in a certain question in combinatorial geometry --- sets of points forming only acute angles --- who seem not to be aware of each other, while they are working on precisely the same problem! Of course, these three themes are closely intertwined.
