Billiard systems, broadly speaking, may be regarded as models of mechanical systems in which rigid parts interact through elastic impulsive (collision) forces. When it is desired or necessary to account for linear/angular momentum exchange…
The paper is devoted to study of Massey products in symplectic manifolds. Theory of generalized and classical Massey products and a general construction of symplectic manifolds with nontrivial Massey products of arbitrary large order are…
We consider systems of "pinned balls," i.e., balls that have fixed positions and pseudo-velocities. Pseudo-velocities change according to the same rules as those for velocities of totally elastic collisions between moving balls. The times…
The stable and unstable manifolds of an invariant set of a piecewise-smooth map are themselves piecewise-smooth. Consequently, as parameters of a piecewise-smooth map are varied, an invariant set can develop a homoclinic connection when its…
We formally study iterated block ciphers that alternate between two sequences of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) rounds. It is demonstrated that, in some cases the effect of alternating increases security, while in other…
We provide examples of an explicit submanifold in Bridgeland stabilities space of a local Calabi-Yau, and propose a new variant of definition of stabilities on a triangulated category, which we call a "real variation of stability…
Bounded proofs are convenient to use due to the high degree of automation that exhaustive checking affords. However, they fall short of providing the robust assurances offered by unbounded proofs. We sketch how completeness thresholds serve…
We provide a uniform approach to obtain sufficient criteria for a (higher order) fixed point of a given bracket structure on a manifold to be stable under deformations. Examples of bracket structures include Lie algebroids, Lie…
In this paper we show how the existence of a certain stable cylinder determines (locally) the ambient manifold where it is immersed. This cylinder has to verify a {\it bifurcation phenomena}, we make this explicit in the introduction. In…
Bilayer plates are compound materials that exhibit large bending deformations when exposed to environmental changes that lead to different mechanical responses in the involved materials. In this article a new numerical method which is…
This paper deals with an application of the notion of barrier in mixed constrained nonlinear systems to an example of a pendulum mounted on a cart with non-rigid cable, whose dynamics may switch to free-fall when the tension of the cable…
The billiard problem concerns a point particle moving freely in a region of the horizontal plane bounded by a closed curve $\Gamma$, and reflected at each impact with $\Gamma$. The region is called a `billiard', and the reflections are…
Following up on the construction of Bridgeland stability condition on $\mathbb{P}^3$ by Macr\`i, we develop techniques to study concrete wall crossing behavior for the first time on a threefold. In some cases, such as complete intersections…
Recently were introduced physical billiards where a moving particle is a hard sphere rather than a point as in standard mathematical billiards. It has been shown that in the same billiard tables the physical billiards may have totally…
A deadlock occurs in a network when two or more items prevent each other from moving and are stalled. In a general model, items are stored at vertices and each vertex $v$ has a buffer with $b(v)$ slots. Given a route for each item toward…
An instance of the super-stable matching problem with incomplete lists and ties is an undirected bipartite graph $G = (A \cup B, E)$, with an adjacency list being a linearly ordered list of ties. Ties are subsets of vertices equally good…
Let $X$ be a monoid scheme. We will show that the stalk at any point of $X$ defines a point of the topos $\Qc(X)$ of quasi-coherent sheaves over $X$. As it turns out, every topos point of $\Qc(X)$ is of this form if $X$ satisfies some…
We give further counterexamples to the conjectural construction of Bridgeland stability on threefolds due to Bayer, Macr\`i, and Toda. This includes smooth projective threefolds containing a divisor that contracts to a point, and…
We describe a connected component of the space of stability conditions on abelian threefolds, and on Calabi-Yau threefolds obtained as (the crepant resolution of) a finite quotient of an abelian threefold. Our proof includes the following…
The billiard table is modeled as an $n$-dimensional box $[0,a_1]\times [0,a_2]\times \ldots \times [0,a_n] \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, with each side having real-valued lengths $a_i$ that are pairwise commensurable. A ball is launched from the…
