This dissertation presents new results on three different themes all related to matroid polytopes. First we investigate properties of Ehrhart polynomials of matroid polytopes, independence matroid polytopes, and polymatroids. We prove that…
The Einstein-Maxwell equations in D-dimensions admitting (D-3) commuting Killing vector fields have been investigated. The existence of the electric, magnetic and twist potentials have been proved. The system is formulated as the harmonic…
In this note we generalize an identity of John Riordan and Robert Donaghey relating the enumerator for Stirling permutations to the Eulerian polynomials.
This paper is devoted to Riemann-Hilbert problems with constraints. We obtain results characterizing the existence of solutions as well as the dimension of the solution space in terms of certain indices. As an application, we show how such…
This note comprises a synthesis of certain results in the theory of exact interpolation between Hilbert spaces. In particular, we examine various characterizations of interpolation spaces and their relations to a number of results in…
This monograph provides a rigorous overview of theoretical and methodological aspects of probabilistic inference and learning with Stein's method. Recipes are provided for constructing Stein discrepancies from Stein operators and Stein…
This paper is a short exposition of Stein's method of normal approximation from my personal perspective. It focuses mainly on the characterization of the normal distribution and the construction of Stein identities. Through examples, it…
We provide an explanation of the main ideas underlying G\"otze's main result in using Stein's method. We also provide detailed derivations of various intermediate estimates. Curiously, we are led to a different dimensional dependence of the…
We introduce the notion of a weighted $\delta$-vector of a lattice polytope. Although the definition is motivated by motivic integration, we study weighted $\delta$-vectors from a combinatorial perspective. We present a version of Ehrhart…
We survey most of the known results concerning the Eisenbud-Green-Harris Conjecture. Our presentation includes new proofs of several theorems, as well as a unified treatment of many results which are otherwise scattered in the literature.…
These are course notes I wrote for my Fall 2013 graduate topics course on geometric structures, taught at ICERM. The notes rework many of proofs in William P. Thurston's beautiful but hard-to-understand paper, "Shapes of Polyhedra". A…
This monograph offers a toolbox of mathematical techniques, which have been effective and widely applicable in information-theoretic analysis. The first tool is a generalization of the method of types to Gaussian settings, and then to…
The notion of exponential Dowling structures is introduced, generalizing Stanley's original theory of exponential structures. Enumerative theory is developed to determine the M\"obius function of exponential Dowling structures, including a…
In this work, partial answers to Reich, Mizoguchi and Takahashi, and Amini-Harandi's conjectures are presented via a light version of Caristi's fixed point theorem. Moreover, we introduce that many of known fixed point theorem can easily…
This paper aims to provide physics teachers with tools to help deepen the understanding of the laws of electromagnetism. The fundamental contributions of our proposal are: a) to use quotes from mythical characters in the history of science…
In this paper I shall try to sketch some typical aspects of Erich Lehmann's contributions to statistics through his research, his teaching, his service to the profession and his personality.
We survey the published work of Harry Kesten in probability theory, with emphasis on his contributions to random walks, branching processes, percolation, and related topics. A complete bibliography is included of his publications.
In Ehrhart theory, the $h^*$-vector of a rational polytope often provide insights into properties of the polytope that may be otherwise obscured. As an example, the Birkhoff polytope, also known as the polytope of real doubly-stochastic…
These lecture notes provide a self-contained introduction to Euler integrals, which are frequently encountered in applications. In particle physics, they arise as Feynman integrals or string amplitudes. Our four selected topics demonstrate…
R. Stanley has found a nice combinatorial formula for characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group of rectangular shape. Then, he has given a conjectural generalisation for any shape. Here, we will prove this formula…
