Consider a holomorphic automorphism which acts hyperbolically on some invariant compact set. Then for every point in the compact set there exists a stable manifold, which is a complex manifold diffeomorphic to real Euclidean space. If the…
It has been shown recently that cryptographic trilinear maps are sufficient for achieving indistinguishability obfuscation. In this paper we develop algebraic blinding techniques for constructing such maps. An earlier approach involving…
Considering a finite intersection of balls and a finite union of other balls in an Euclidean space, we propose an exact method to test whether the intersection is covered by the union. We reformulate this problem into quadratic programming…
We propose geometric tools that are suitable for studying the behavior of a billiard trajectory in a homogeneous force field. Two examples are considered: a vertical plane with an open top and with a parabolic or right angle boundary at the…
In this note, we investigate the sharpness of existing bounds for various types of bi-parameter paraproducts acting between product Hardy spaces in the dyadic setting. We show that these bounds are sharp in most cases but fail to be so in…
An instance of a strongly stable matching problem (SSMP) is an undirected bipartite graph $G=(A \cup B, E)$, with an adjacency list of each vertex being a linearly ordered list of ties, which are subsets of vertices equally good for a given…
Consider the configuration spaces of manifold (closed or open). An influential theorem of McDuff and Segal shows that the (co)homology of unordered configuration spaces of open manifold is independent of number of configuration points in a…
Several branches of the potential outcome causal inference literature have discussed the merits of blocking versus complete randomization. Some have concluded it can never hurt the precision of estimates, and some have concluded it can…
This is the second in a series of papers. Here we develop here an intersection theory for manifolds equipped with an action of a finite group. As in our previous paper, our approach will be homotopy theoretic, enabling us to circumvent the…
We show that there is an hierarchy of intersection rigidity properties of sets in a closed symplectic manifold: some sets cannot be displaced by symplectomorphisms from more sets than the others. We also find new examples of rigidity of…
We prove a transversality "lifting property" for compactified configuration spaces as an application of the multijet transversality theorem: given a submanifold of configurations of points on an embedding of a compact manifold $M$ in…
We study a differential geometric construction, the warped product, on the background geometry for information theory. Divergences, dual structures and symmetric 3-tensor are studied under this construction, and we show that warped product…
This paper explores the stability of Minkowski-type inequalities for hypersurfaces in warped product spaces. We establish a stability estimate that bounds the norm of the traceless second fundamental form of the hypersurface in terms of the…
In standard (mathematical) billiards a point particle moves uniformly in a billiard table with elastic reflections off the boundary. We show that in transition from mathematical billiards to physical billiards, where a finite size hard…
We study and classify the emergence of protected edge modes at the junction of one-dimensional materials. Using symmetries of Lagrangian planes in boundary symplectic spaces, we present a novel proof of the periodic table of topological…
A configuration of particles confined to a sphere is balanced if it is in equilibrium under all force laws (that act between pairs of points with strength given by a fixed function of distance). It is straightforward to show that every…
This paper is concerned with path-complete barrier functions which offer a graph-based methodology for verifying safety properties in switched systems. The path-complete framework leverages algebraic (barrier functions) as well as…
We define billiards in the context of sub-Finsler Geometry. We provide symplectic and variational (or rather, control theoretical) descriptions of the problem and show that they coincide. We then discuss several phenomena in this setting,…
Let $S$ be a compact surface of genus $\geq 2$ equipped with a metric that is flat everywhere except at finitely many cone points with angles greater than $2\pi$. We examine the geodesic flow on $S$ and prove local product structure for a…
Homological stability for sequences of groups is often proved by studying the spectral sequence associated to the action of a typical group in the sequence on a highly-connected simplicial complex whose stabilizers are related to previous…
