This is an introductory survey on cluster algebras and their (additive) categorification using derived categories of Ginzburg algebras. After a gentle introduction to cluster combinatorics, we review important examples of coordinate rings…
In this paper we establish new simple local geometric criteria for discrete entropic curvature introduced in [47] that are powerful enough to capture many geometric properties of complex models arising in mathematical physics. These results…
Aiming to unify known results about clustering mixtures of distributions under separation conditions, Kumar and Kannan[2010] introduced a deterministic condition for clustering datasets. They showed that this single deterministic condition…
In this paper, we investigate a multi-dimensional nonlocal degenerate diffusion-aggregation equation with a diffusion exponent $m$ in the intermediate range $\frac{2d}{2d-\gamma}<m<\frac{d+\gamma}{d}$, where the nonlocal aggregation term is…
Observations of galaxy clusters (GC's) are a powerful tool to probe the evolution of the Universe at $z<2$. However, the determination of their real shape and structure is not completely understood and the assumption of asphericity is often…
We prove that for a general $N$-component model on a $d$-dimensional lattice $\bZ^d$ with pairwise nearest-neighbor coupling and general local interaction obeying a stability bound the linked cluster expansion has a finite radius of…
Cluster analysis requires many decisions: the clustering method and the implied reference model, the number of clusters and, often, several hyper-parameters and algorithms' tunings. In practice, one produces several partitions, and a final…
A simple analytic theory for mixtures of hard spheres and larger polymers with excluded volume interactions is developed. The mixture is shown to exhibit extensive immiscibility. For large polymers with strong excluded volume interactions,…
The age-old idea of "like dissolves like" requires a notion of "likeness" that is hard to quantify for polymers. We revisit the concepts of pure component cohesive energy density $c^{\text{P}}$ and mutual cohesive energy density $c_{12}$ so…
We study cluster algebras that are associated to unpunctured surfaces with coefficients arising from boundary arcs. We give a direct formula for the Laurent polynomial expansion of cluster variables in these cluster algebras in terms of…
A short exposition with complete proofs of the theory of cluster expansions for an abstract polymer system is presented.
An extended polymer collapses to form a globule when subjected to a quench below the collapse transition temperature. The process begins with the formation of clusters of monomers or ``pearls''. The nascent clusters merge, resulting in…
Smoluchowski's coagulation equations can be used as elementary mathematical models for the formation of polymers. We review here some recent contributions on a variation of this model in which the number of aggregations for each atom is a…
In this paper, we prove a `cut-by-curves criterion' for an overconvergent isocrystal on a smooth variety over a field of characteristic $p>0$ to extend logarithmically to its smooth compactification whose complement is a strict normal…
We analyze Kumar's recent quadratic algebraic branching program size lower bound proof method (CCC 2017) for the power sum polynomial. We present a refinement of this method that gives better bounds in some cases. The lower bound relies on…
We consider a system of particles confined in a box $\La\subset\R^d$ interacting via a tempered and stable pair potential. We prove the validity of the cluster expansion for the canonical partition function in the high temperature - low…
We develop a systematic cluster expansion for dilute systems in the highly dilute phase. We first apply it to the calculation of the entropy of the K-satisfiability problem in the satisfiable phase. We derive a series expansion in the…
We give an efficient algorithm for robustly clustering of a mixture of two arbitrary Gaussians, a central open problem in the theory of computationally efficient robust estimation, assuming only that the the means of the component Gaussians…
We give combinatorial formulas for the Laurent expansion of any cluster variable in any cluster algebra coming from a triangulated surface (with or without punctures), with respect to an arbitrary seed. Moreover, we work in the generality…
For a general class of gas models ---which includes discrete and continuous Gibbsian models as well as contour or polymer ensembles--- we determine a \emph{diluteness condition} that implies: (1) Uniqueness of the infinite-volume…
