For a simple flop $X\dashrightarrow X'$, we construct a correspondence between genus $0$ descendant Gromov-Witten theories of $X$ and $X'$. We show that the Fourier-Mukai equivalence induced by $X\dashrightarrow X'$ is compatible, in a…
We consider planar networks of three curves that meet at two junctions with prescribed equal angles, minimizing a combination of the elastic energy and the length functional. We prove existence and regularity of minimizers, and we show some…
We show that there are minimal graphs in R^{n+1} whose intersection with the portion of the horizontal hyperplane contained in the unit ball has any prescribed geometry, up to a small deformation. The proof hinges on the construction of…
We prove a correspondence between $\kappa$-small fibrations in simplicial presheaf categories equipped with the injective or projective model structure (and left Bousfield localizations thereof) and relatively $\kappa$-compact maps in their…
One of the main difficulties in analyzing neural networks is the non-convexity of the loss function which may have many bad local minima. In this paper, we study the landscape of neural networks for binary classification tasks. Under mild…
Copula models have become popular in different applications, including modeling shocks, in view of their ability to describe better the dependence concepts in stochastic systems. The class of maxmin copulas was recently introduced by…
Blowing up a rational surface singularity in a reflexive module gives a (any) partial resolution dominated by the minimal resolution. The main theorem shows how deformations of the pair (singularity, module) relates to deformations of the…
We study the minimal gap statistic for fractional parts of sequences of the form $\mathcal A^\alpha = \{\alpha a(n)\}$ where $\mathcal A = \{a(n)\}$ is a sequence of distinct of integers. Assuming that the additive energy of the sequence is…
The aim of the present paper is essentially to prove that if $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are two sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous functionals on a reflexive real Banach space and if $\Psi$ is also continuous and coercive, then then following…
This article studies the behaviour under liaison of the deficiency modules of schemes that are not assumed to be Cohen-Macaulay. Our study uses in particular a generalization of Serre duality, and gives a satisfactory description of this…
The all-to-all momentum coupling of the Hubbard interaction makes interacting lattice models generically unsolvable. In many settings, however, from Peierls instabilities to Moir\'e superlattice physics, the low-energy behavior is dominated…
We discuss dimensional continuation of the massless scalar field theory with the $i\phi^5$ interaction term. It preserves the so-called $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, which acts by $\phi\rightarrow -\phi$ accompanied by $i\rightarrow -i$. Below…
We describe a construction of a model of second order arithmetic in which (boldface) $\bm{\Pi^1_n}$-determinacy holds, but (lightface) $\Pi^1_{n+2}$-$\mathsf{DC}$ fails, thus showing that no projective level of determinacy implies full…
The article addresses some open questions about the relations between the topological weak mixing property and the transitivity of the map $f\times f^2 \times...\times f^m$, where $f\colon X\ra X$ is a topological dynamical system on a…
According to Bell's theorem a large class of hidden-variable models obeying Bell's notion of local causality conflict with the predictions of quantum mechanics. Recently, a Bell-type theorem has been proven using a weaker notion of local…
We study variants of hierarchical modular network models suggested by Kaiser and Hilgetag [Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 4 (2010) 8] to model functional brain connectivity, using extensive simulations and quenched mean-field theory (QMF),…
In this note, it is shown that the results claimed in the paper [1]---as well as the examples presented there---are, unfortunately, incorrect.
It is generally believed that in single-field slow-roll inflation, a large tensor-to-scalar ratio $r > 0.1$ requires inflaton field values close to or above the Planck scale. Recently, it has been claimed that $r > 0.15$ can be achieved…
Biclustering structures in data matrices were first formalized in a seminal paper by John Hartigan (1972) where one seeks to cluster cases and variables simultaneously. Such structures are also prevalent in block modeling of networks. In…
We prove the existence of minimal models for fibrations between dendroidal sets in the model structure for infinity-operads, as well as in the covariant model structure for algebras and in the stable one for connective spectra. In an…
