We study the dynamics of compressible fluids in rotating heterogeneous porous media. The fluid flow is of {F}orchheimer-type and is subject to a mixed mass and volumetric flux boundary condition. The governing equations are reduced to a…

We consider the critical dissipative surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation on $\mathbb{R}^2$ or $\mathbb{T}^2$. Despite global regularity of the equation, we show that the data-to-solution map at the critical level $H^1$ is not uniformly…

A polytope is called indecomposable if it cannot be expressed nontrivially as a Minkowski sum of other polytopes. Since Gale introduced the concept in 1954, several increasingly strong criteria have been developed to characterize…

We prove existence of a probability solution to the nonlinear stationary Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation on an infinite dimensional space with a centered Gaussian measure $\gamma$ with a unit diffusion operator and a drift of the form…

For many compound $A_n$ ($cA_n$) singularities $R_f=\mathbb{C}[u,v,x,y]/(uv-f(x,y))$ with crepant resolutions $Y_f$, their mirrors are affine $A_n$ plumbings $W^\circ_f$ of $3$-dimensional lens spaces along circles. We prove two versions of…

The goal of this paper is to study the $L^p$-solvability of the strongly-coupled nonlocal system \[ \mathbb{L} \mathbf{u} (\mathbf{x}) + \lambda \mathbf{u}(\mathbf{x})= \mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x}) \quad \text{in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ } \] where…

We demonstrate that we can carry over the strategy of Finite Element Exterior Calculus (FEEC) to Summation-by-Parts (SBP) Finite Difference (FD) methods to achieve divergence- and curl-free discretizations. This is not obvious at first…

Let $A=A(\alpha, \beta)$ be a graded down-up algebra with weights $(\mathrm{deg}\, x, \mathrm{deg}\, y)=(n,m)$ and $\beta \neq 0$, and $\nabla A$ its Beilinson algebra. Such an algebra $A$ is a 3-dimensional cubic AS-regular algebra by…

In the first part of this series, the authors introduced the quantum wreath product, providing a unified framework that encompasses numerous results previously addressed only through case-by-case analysis. This paper shifts focus to the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we prove a strengthened version of Brauer's height zero conjecture for the principal $p$-block of $G$ that takes the action of a certain group of Galois automorphisms into…

We consider a random walk on a homogeneous space $G/\Lambda$ where $G$ is a non-compact simple Lie group and $\Lambda$ is a lattice. The walk is driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup.…

This work is concerned with categorical methods for studying singularities. Our focus is on birational derived splinters, which is a notion that extends the definition of rational singularities beyond varieties over fields of characteristic…

Tilting bundles provide a fundamental bridge between algebraic geometry and representation theory. For a tilting bundle on a smooth proper $d$-dimensional variety, the global dimension of its endomorphism algebra is at least $d$, and the…

We propose a mathematically principled PDE gradient flow framework for distributionally robust optimization (DRO). Exploiting the recent advances in the intersection of Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling and gradient flow theory, we show…

We introduce and study a new class of generalized convex functions termed star quasiconvex functions. This class includes convex, star-convex, quasiconvex, quasar-convex, and positively homogeneous functions of any degree $p>0$ as special…

We prove an Erd\H{o}s--Szekeres type result for finite words over $\mathbb{N}$ with repeated values. Specifically, we define a \emph{repeat} in a word to be an occurrence of a value which is not its first occurrence. We define an occurrence…

A variant of consensus based distributed gradient descent (\textbf{DGD}) is studied for finite sums of smooth but possibly non-convex functions. In particular, the local gradient term in the fixed step-size iteration of each agent is…

Many previously studied path algebras or self-similar group algebras may be viewed as Steinberg algebras of self-similar groupoids. By way of inverse semigroup algebras, we characterize when the Steinberg algebra of a self-similar groupoid…

The study of bodies of constant width is a classical subject in convex geometry, with the 3-dimensional Meissner bodies being canonical examples. This paper presents a novel geometric construction of a body of constant width in $\mathbb…

We prove several K\"ahlerness criteria for compact Hermitian surfaces under semi-definiteness assumptions on natural Ricci curvatures of the Strominger-Bismut connection. The key tools for proving these results are explicit identities…
