Let X be a finite CW complex or compact Lipschitz neighborhood retract with universal cover Z; let M be a compact orientable manifold of dimension at least 2 and nonempty boundary. We establish the existence of an isoperimetric profile for…

We formulate N-fold supersymmetry in quantum mechanical matrix models. As an example, we construct general two-by-two Hermitian matrix 2-fold supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems. We find that there are two inequivalent such systems,…

In a recent paper Donaldson defines three operators on a space of Hermitian metrics on a complex projective manifold: $T, T_{\nu}, T_K.$ Iterations of these operators converge to balanced metrics, and these themselves approximate constant…

We study the algebraic properties of the series $\mathrm{K}_n$ of semigroups, which is inspired by \cite{Ki} and has origins in convexity theory. In particular, we describe Green's relations on $\mathrm{K}_n$, prove that there exists a…

We study a natural generalization of the noncrossing relation between pairs of elements in [n] to k-tuples in [n] that was first considered by Petersen, Pylyavskyy, Speyer (2010). We give an alternative approach to their result that the…

In this paper, we consider the task of designing a Kalman Filter (KF) for an unknown and partially observed autonomous linear time invariant system driven by process and sensor noise. To do so, we propose studying the following two step…

The circular peak set of a permutation $\sigma$ is the set $\{\sigma(i)\mid \sigma(i-1)<\sigma(i)>\sigma(i+1)\}$. Let $\mathcal{P}_n$ be the set of all the subset $S\subseteq [n]$ such that there exists a permutation $\sigma$ which has the…

A polygonal complex in euclidean 3-space is a discrete polyhedron-like structure with finite or infinite polygons as faces and finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that a fixed number r of faces surround each edge. It is said to be regular…

We investigate equations in Kiselman's semigroup $K_n$, generated by $a_1, \dots, a_n$. Let $f$ denote the zero element of $K_n$. We prove that if $y \in K_n$ lies in the subsemigroup generated by $a_2, \dots, a_n$, then $x y = f$ implies…

Suppose $(X_n)$ is a sequence of positive-dimensional smooth projective complete intersections over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with dimensions bounded from above and with characteristic zero lifts $(\tilde{X}_n)$ to smooth projective geometrically…

We solve a family of Gaussian two-matrix models with rectangular Nx(N+v) matrices, having real asymmetric matrix elements and depending on a non-Hermiticity parameter mu. Our model can be thought of as the chiral extension of the real…

We study the collapsibility of finite simplicial complexes of dimension 3 endowed with a CAT(0) metric. Our main result states that, under an additional hypothesis, finite simplicial 3-complexes endowed with a CAT(0) metric collapse to a…

In this paper, we introduce a property of topological dynamical systems that we call finite dynamical complexity. For systems with this property, one can in principle compute the $K$-theory of the associated crossed product $C^*$-algebra by…

A well-known object in classical Euclidean geometry is the circumcenter of a triangle, i.e., the point that is equidistant from all vertices. The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic study of the circumcenter of sets containing…

Computational complexity is a new quantum information concept that may play an important role in holography and in understanding the physics of the black hole interior. We consider quantum computational complexity for $n$ qubits using…

It is known that the $k$-faces of the permutohedron $\Pi_n$ are labeled by (all possible) linearly ordered partitions of the set $[n]=\{1,...,n\}$ into $(n-k)$ non-empty parts. The incidence relation corresponds to the refinement: a face…

Let $K$ denote prefix-free Kolmogorov Complexity, and $K^A$ denote it relative to an oracle $A$. We show that for any $n$, $K^{\emptyset^{(n)}}$ is definable purely in terms of the unrelativized notion $K$. It was already known that…

For every space $X$ let $\mathcal K(X)$ be the set of all compact subsets of $X$. Christensen \cite{c:74} proved that if $X, Y$ are separable metrizable spaces and $F\colon\mathcal{K}(X)\to\mathcal{K}(Y)$ is a monotone map such that any…

We study finite foldable cubical complexes of nonpositive curvature (in the sense of A.D. Alexandrov). We show that such a complex X admits a graph of spaces decomposition. It is also shown that when dim X=3, X contains a closed rank one…

A totally symmetric set is a finite subset of a group for which any permutation of the elements can be realized by conjugation in the ambient group. Such sets are rigid under homomorphisms, and so exert a great deal of control over the…
