Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $Dist(SL_2)$ be the algebra of distributions, supported at $1$, on the algebraic group $SL_2$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$. The Frobenius map $Fr:SL_2\to SL_2$ induces a map $Fr:Dist(SL_2)\to Dist(SL_2)$ which is…
Graph matching aims to find the latent vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated graphs and has found numerous applications across different fields. In this paper, we study a seeded graph matching problem, which assumes that a set…
Upcoming large multiwavelength photometric surveys will provide a leap in our understanding of small body populations, among other fields of modern astrophysics. Serendipitous observations of small bodies in different orbital locations…
We have analyzed the Fundamental Plane (FP) for a sample of 226 E and S0 galaxies in ten clusters of galaxies. For photometry in Gunn r the best fitting plane is log r_e=1.24 log sigma - 0.82 log <I>_e + cst. The scatter is 0.084 in log…
Effective Hamiltonians can explain in a much simpler way the physics behind a scattering process. Chaotic scattering is directly related to Lorentzian Hamiltonians which, because of their properties, can be reduced to a $2\times 2$ matrix…
Rapid developments in genetics and biology have led to phylogenetic methods becoming an important direction in the study of cancer and viral evolution. Although our understanding of gene biology and biochemistry has increased and is…

Geostatistical methods are powerful tools for understanding the spatial structure of the metallicity distribution of galaxies, and enable construction of accurate predictive models of the 2D metallicity distribution. However, so far these…
Phylogenetic methods, traditionally used in biology to trace the evolutionary relationships among species, are emerging as a powerful framework to reconstruct evolutionary processes in galaxies from chemical information. We apply galactic…
Context: Sunspot penumbrae harbor highly structured magnetic fields and flows. The moving flux tube model offers an explanation for several observed phenomena, e.g. the Evershed effect and bright penumbral grains. Aims: A wealth of…
We develop tools for characterizing vertices of fiber products of polytopes and apply them to simplicial distribution polytopes, a class of probability polytopes arising in quantum foundations and quantum information. In the theory of…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. We show that the map that sends a codimension one distribution on $X$ to its singular scheme is a morphism from the moduli space of distributions into a Hilbert scheme. We describe its fibers and,…

It is known that the image in $\mathbb{R}^{2}/\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ of a circle of radius $\rho$ in the plane becomes equidistributed as $\rho\to\infty$. We consider the following sparse version of this phenomenon. Starting from a sequence of…
We consider deflection of polarizable molecules by inhomogeneous optical fields, and analyze the role of molecular orientation and rotation in the scattering process. It is shown that molecular rotation induces spectacular rainbow-like…
A natural generalization of the recognition problem for a geometric graph class is the problem of extending a representation of a subgraph to a representation of the whole graph. A related problem is to find representations for multiple…
For one-dimensional growth processes we consider the distribution of the height above a given point of the substrate and study its scale invariance in the limit of large times. We argue that for self-similar growth from a single seed the…
Analytic distribution functions (DFs) for the Galactic disc are discussed. The DFs depend on action variables and their predictions for observable quantities are explored under the assumption that the motion perpendicular to the Galactic…

Statistical field theory methods have been very successful with a number of random graph and random matrix problems, but it is challenging to apply these methods to graphs with prescribed degree sequences due to the extensive number of…
