In this paper, we investigate classifications of $4$-dimensional simply connected complete noncompact nonflat shrinkers satisfying $Ric+\mathrm{Hess}\,f=\tfrac 12g$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature. One one hand, we show that if the…
Recently Jeong and Kim [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 051605 (2002)] investigated the scaling properties of equilibrium self-flattening surfaces subject to a restricted curvature constraint. In one dimension (1D), they found numerically that the…
We consider the fragmentation process with mass loss and discuss self-similar properties of the arising structure both in time and space focusing on dimensional analysis. This exhibits a spectrum of mass exponents $\theta$, whose exact…
For a unit-norm frame $F = \{f_i\}_{i=1}^k$ in $\R^n$, a scaling is a vector $c=(c(1),\dots,c(k))\in \R_{\geq 0}^k$ such that $\{\sqrt{c(i)}f_i\}_{i =1}^k$ is a Parseval frame in $\R^n$. If such a scaling exists, $F$ is said to be scalable.…
Many problems in high-dimensional statistics and optimization involve minimization over nonconvex constraints-for instance, a rank constraint for a matrix estimation problem-but little is known about the theoretical properties of such…
We address in this paper the study of a geometric evolution, corresponding to a curvature which is non-local and singular at the origin. The curvature represents the first variation of the energy recently proposed as a variant of the…
Increasingly, statisticians are faced with the task of analyzing complex data that are non-Euclidean and specifically do not lie in a vector space. To address the need for statistical methods for such data, we introduce the concept of…
We introduce two novel families of geometric functionals-basic contents and support contents-for investigating the fractal properties of compact subsets in Euclidean space. These functionals are derived from the support measures arising in…
We study the average number of simplices $N'(r)$ at geodesic distance $r$ in the dynamical triangulation model of euclidean quantum gravity in four dimensions. We use $N'(r)$ to explore definitions of curvature and of effective global…
This work introduces ``generalized meshes", a type of meshes suited for the discretization of partial differential equations in non-regular geometries. Generalized meshes extend regular simplicial meshes by allowing for overlapping elements…
We examine the scaling of geodesic correlation functions in two-dimensional gravity and in spin systems coupled to gravity. The numerical data support the scaling hypothesis and indicate that the quantum geometry develops a non-perturbative…
We calculate the scale dependence of the bispectrum and trispectrum in (quasi) local models of non-Gaussian primordial density perturbations, and characterize this scale dependence in terms of new observable parameters. They can help to…
In this paper we investigate the universality and scaling properties of the well-known quantities in classical statistical mechanics near the quantum phase transition point. We show that transverse susceptibility and derivatives of…
The computation of probabilities in an eternally inflating universe requires a regulator or "measure". The scale factor time measure truncates the universe when a congruence of timelike geodesics has expanded by a fixed volume factor. This…
We extend results of Y. Benoist and J.-F. Quint concerning random walks on homogeneous spaces of simple Lie groups to the case where the measure defining the random walk generates a semigroup which is not necessarily Zariski dense, but…
The geometry of fracture patterns in a dilute elastic network is explored using molecular dynamics simulation. The network in two dimensions is subjected to a uniform strain which drives the fracture to develop by the growth and coalescence…
The improved city clustering algorithm can be used to identify urban boundaries on a digital map, and the results are a set of isolines. The relationships between the urban measurements within the variable boundaries follow allometric…
The curvature of a spacetime, either in a topological sense, or averaged over super-horizon-sized patches, is often equated with the global curvature term that appears in Friedmann's equation. In general, however, the Universe is…
The waves of fermions display nonlocality in low energy limit of quantum fields. In this \QTR{it}{ab initio} paper we propose a complex-geometry model that reveals the affection of nonlocality on the interaction between material particles…
Fractals are defined as geometric shapes that exhibit symmetry of scale. This simply implies that fractal is a shape that it would still look the same even if somebody could zoom in on one of its parts an infinite number of times. This…
