The aim of this paper is to obtain new solutions to the open question on the existence of a contractive condition which is strong enough to generate a fixed point but which does not force the map to be continuous at the fixed point. To do…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and $\Phi=\{\varphi_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ be a continuous flow on $X$. We introduce two types of topological pressure for family of discontinuous potentials $a=\{a_t\}_{t>0}$. First, define the topological…

T-duality of gauge theories on a noncommutative $T^d$ can be extended to include fields with twisted boundary conditions. The resulting T-dual theories contain novel nonlocal fields. These fields represent dipoles of constant magnitude.…

We introduce a new class of functions, called Attractivity Guarantee (AG)-functions, to certify the attractivity of sets for uncertain nonlinear switched systems in discrete time. The existence of an AG-function associated with a set…

Let $g$ be a bounded symmetric measurable nonnegative function on $[0,1]^2$, and $\left\lVert g \right\rVert = \int_{[0,1]^2} g(x,y) dx dy$. For a graph $G$ with vertices $\{v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n\}$ and edge set $E(G)$, we define \[ t(G,g) \;…

We prove that certain nonlocal functionals defined on partitions made of measurable sets Gamma-converge to a local functional modeled on the perimeter in the sense of De Giorgi. Those nonlocal functionals involve generalized surface tension…

Stationary points or derivative zero crossings of a regression function correspond to points where a trend reverses, making their estimation scientifically important. Existing approaches to uncertainty quantification for stationary points…

For a subshift $(X, \sigma_X)$ and a subadditive sequence $\mathcal{F}=\{\log f_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on $X$, we study equivalent conditions for the existence of $h\in C(X)$ such that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}(1/{n})\int \log f_n d \mu=\int…

We prove that the set of points where a subharmonic function fails to be continuous is polar.

The Hosotani mechanism claims to achieve gauge-symmetry breaking, for instance $SU(3) \to SU(2)\times U(1)$. To verify this claim, we propose to monitor the stability of a topological defect stable under a gauge subgroup but not under the…

We show that on a two-dimensional compact nontrapping manifold with strictly convex boundary, a piecewise constant function is determined by its integrals over geodesics. In higher dimensions, we obtain a similar result if the manifold…

In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow the approach of G. Royer (1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing…

We investigate stability and local minimizing properties of the Riemannian functional defined by the L^p norm of the curvature tensor on the space of Riemannian metrics on a closed manifold. Riemannian metrics with constant curvature and…

We continue our study of the problem of mixing for a class of PDEs with very degenerate noise. As we established earlier, the uniqueness of stationary measure and its exponential stability in the dual-Lipschitz metric holds under the…

The purpose of this paper is to show stability of order preserving/reversing transforms on the class of non-negative convex functions in ${\mathbb R}^n$, and its subclass, the class of non-negative convex functions attaining $0$ at the…

A theory of gravity with a generic action functional and minimally coupled to N matter fields has a nontrivial fixed point in the leading large N approximation. At this fixed point, the cosmological constant and Newton's constant are…

We consider a class of weighted harmonic functions in the open upper half-plane known as $\alpha$-harmonic functions. Of particular interest is the uniqueness problem for such functions subject to a vanishing Dirichlet boundary value on the…

We provide a quantification of the uniqueness of Gibbs measure for topologically mixing countable Markov shifts with locally H\"older continuous potentials. Corollaries for speed of convergence for approximation by finite subsystems are…

With their origin in thermodynamics and symbolic dynamics, Gibbs measures are crucial tools to study the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We develop a framework (through Patterson-Sullivan densities)…
