In the recent paper [arXiv:1612.06893] P. B\"urgisser and A. Lerario introduced a geometric framework for a probabilistic study of real Schubert Problems. They denoted by $\delta_{k,n}$ the average number of projective $k$-planes in…

A classical result from analytic number theory by Rademacher gives an exact formula for the Fourier coefficients of modular forms of non-positive weight. We apply similar techniques to study the spectrum of two-dimensional unitary conformal…

The most general 2+1 dimensional spinning particle model is considered. The action functional may involve all the possible first order Poincare invariants of world lines, and the particular class of actions is specified thus the…

We revisit a nonlinear spline primitive for 3-space first studied by Even Mehlum. It is the spherical clothoid, the spherical curve with geodesic curvature a linear function of arc length. We present its Cartesian coordinate functions using…

Let X be a homogeneous tree of degree q+1 (for q between 2 and infinity) and let f be a complex function on X times X for which f(x,y) only depend on the distance between x and y in X. Our main result gives a necessary and sufficient…

In the half-space $\mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}_+$, we consider the Hermite-Schr\"odinger equation $i\partial u/\partial t = - \Delta u + |x|^2 u$, with given boundary values on $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove a formula that links the solution…

We present the generalisation to (3+1) dimensions of a quantum deformation of the (2+1) (Anti)-de Sitter and Poincar\'e Lie algebras that is compatible with the conditions imposed by the Chern-Simons formulation of (2+1) gravity. Since such…

For $d \in \mathbb{N}$ the well-known Schur-Cohn region $\mathcal{E}_d$ consists of all $d$-dimensional vectors $(a_1,\ldots,a_d)\in\mathbb{R}^d$ corresponding to monic polynomials $X^d+a_1X^{d-1}+\cdots+a_{d-1}X+a_d$ whose roots all lie in…

Polynomial solutions to the KP hierarchy are known to be parametrized by a cone over an infinite-dimensional Grassmann variety. Using the notion of Schubert derivation on a Grassmann algebra, we encode the classical Pl\"ucker equations of…

Given an integer $d \geq 2$, $s \in (0,1]$, and $t \in [0,2(d-1)]$, suppose a set $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has the following property: there is a collection of lines of packing dimension $t$ such that every line from the collection intersects…

Polynomials in Grassmann space can be used to describe all the internal degrees of freedom of spinors, scalars and vectors, that is their spins and charges. It was shown that K\"ahler spinors, which are polynomials of differential forms,…

The generating functions of the Severi degrees for sufficiently ample line bundles on algebraic surfaces are multiplicative in the topological invariants of the surface and the line bundle. Recently new proofs of this fact were given for…

This paper addresses sharpness conditions for constructing $C^r$ conforming finite element spaces from a superspline spaces on general simplicial triangulations. We introduce the concept of extendability for the pre-element spaces, which…

An analogue of the total variation prior for the normal vector field along the boundary of piecewise flat shapes in 3D is introduced. A major class of examples are triangulated surfaces as they occur for instance in finite element…

Let $\mathbf{R}_d$ be the space of stable sheaves $F$ which satisfy the Hilbert polynomial $\chi(F(m))=dm+1$ and are supported on rational curves in the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. Then $\mathbf{R}_1$ (resp. $\mathbf{R}_2$) is…

We show that any element of the special linear group $SL_2(R)$ is a product of two exponentials if the ring $R$ is either the ring of holomorphic functions on an open Riemann surface or the disc algebra. This is sharp: one exponential…
