We prove an equality-in-law relating the maximum of GUE Dyson's Brownian motion and the non-colliding systems with a wall. This generalizes the well known relation between the maximum of a Brownian motion and a reflected Brownian motion.
We discuss construction and observational properties of wormholes obtained by connecting two Reissner-Nordstrom spacetimes with distinct mass and charge parameters. These objects are spherically symmetric, but not reflection-symmetric, as…
In this paper we study the effects of quantum scalar field vacuum fluctuations on scalar test particles in an analog model for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spatially flat geometry. In this scenario, the cases with one and two perfectly…
We present a modified Brownian motion model for random matrices where the eigenvalues (or levels) of a random matrix evolve in "time" in such a way that they never cross each other's path. Also, owing to the exact integrability of the level…
Semimartingale reflecting Brownian motions (SRBMs) are diffusion processes with state space the d-dimensional nonnegative orthant, in the interior of which the processes evolve according to a Brownian motion, and that reflect against the…
We consider Brownian motion in a circular disk $\Omega$, whose boundary $\p\Omega$ is reflecting, except for a small arc, $\p\Omega_a$, which is absorbing. As $\epsilon=|\partial \Omega_a|/|\partial \Omega|$ decreases to zero the mean time…
Thanks to a theorem of Brock on comparison of Weil-Petersson translation distances and hyperbolic volumes of mapping tori for pseudo-Anosovs, we prove that the entropy of a surface automorphism in general has linear bounds in terms of…
We show that almost any one-dimensional projection of a suitably scaled random walk on a hypercube, inscribed in a hypersphere, converges weakly to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process as the dimension of the sphere tends to infinity. We also…
This paper proves almost-sure convergence for the self-attracting diffusion on the unit sphere $$dX(t)=\sigma dW_{t}(X(t))-a\int_{0}^{t}\nabla_{\mathbb{S}^n}V_{X_s}(X_t) dsdt,\qquad X(0)=x\in\mathbb{S}^n $$ %given by the stochastic…
We show two sphere theorems for the Riemannian manifolds with scalar curvature bounded below and the non-collapsed $\mathrm{RCD}(n-1,n)$ spaces with mean distance close to $\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Brane-World models suggest modification of Newton's law of gravity on the 3-brane at submillimeter scales. The brane-world induced corrections are in higher powers of inverse distance and appear as additional terms with the Newtonian…
We describe and analyze a class of positive recurrent reflected Brownian motions (RBMs) in $\mathbb{R}^d_+$ for which local statistics converge to equilibrium at a rate independent of the dimension $d$. Under suitable assumptions on the…
We show that, for each $n\ge 3$, there exists a smooth Riemannian metric $g$ on a punctured sphere $\mathbb{S}^n\setminus \{x_0\}$ for which the associated length metric extends to a length metric $d$ of $\mathbb{S}^n$ with the following…
We prove a reflection principle for minimal surfaces in smooth (non necessarily analytic) three manifolds and we give an explicit application when the ambient space is just a smooth manifold.
According to a general definition of discrete curves, surfaces, and manifolds. This paper focuses on the Jordan curve theorem in 2D discrete spaces. The Jordan curve theorem says that a (simply) closed curve separates a simply connected…
In this paper we study the discrete approximation to Brownian motion with varying dimension (BMVD in abbreviation) introduced in [4] by continuous time random walks on square lattices. The state space of BMVD contains a $2$-dimensional…
The planet orbiting tau Boo at a separation of 0.046 AU could produce a reflected light flux as bright as 1e-4 relative to that of the star. A spectrum of the system will contain a reflected light component which varies in amplitude and…
A candidate extrasolar planet companion to the young brown dwarf 2MASSW J1207334-393254 (2M1207) was recently discovered by Chauvin et al. They find that 2M1207 B's temperature and luminosity are consistent with being a young, \~5 M_Jupiter…
Based upon the Smoluchowski equation on curved manifolds three physical observables are considered for the Brownian displacement, namely, geodesic displacement, $s$, Euclidean displacement, $\delta{\bf R}$, and projected displacement…
A new approach to Brownian motion of atomic clusters on solid surfaces is developed. The main topic discussed is the dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the fit between the surface static potential and the internal cluster…
