We prove that if $\Sigma$ is a closed surface of genus at least 3 and $G$ is a split real semisimple Lie group of rank at least $3$ acting faithfully by isometries on a symmetric space $N$, then there exists a Hitchin representation…
For a field $\mathbb{F}$ and integers $d$ and $k$, a set of vectors of $\mathbb{F}^d$ is called $k$-nearly orthogonal if its members are non-self-orthogonal and every $k+1$ of them include an orthogonal pair. We prove that for every prime…
A central question in cognitive science is whether conceptual representations converge onto a shared manifold to support generalization, or diverge into orthogonal subspaces to minimize task interference. While prior work has discovered…
Given a compact set $K$ in the plane, which does not contain any triple of points forming a vertical and a horizontal segment, and a map $f\in C(K)$, we give a construction of functions $g,h\in C(\mathbb R)$ such that $f(x,y)=g(x)+h(y)$ for…
We present preliminary results of the first convergent global fits of several minimal composite Higgs models. Our fits are performed using the differential evolution optimisation package $\texttt{Diver}$. A variety of physical constraints…
Given an $n \times d$ dimensional dataset $A$, a projection query specifies a subset $C \subseteq [d]$ of columns which yields a new $n \times |C|$ array. We study the space complexity of computing data analysis functions over such…
A packing of two $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H_1$ and $H_2$ is a set $\{H_1', H_2'\}$ of edge-disjoint sub-hypergraphs of the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph $K_n^{(k)}$ such that $H_1'\cong H_1$ and $H_2'\cong H_2$. Whilst the problem of…
We introduce the problem of constructing explicit variety evasive subspace families. Given a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subvarieties of a projective or affine space, a collection $\mathcal{H}$ of projective or affine $k$-subspaces is…
We demonstrate a close connection between the classic planar Singer difference sets and certain norm equation systems arising from projective norm graphs. This, on the one hand leads to a novel description of planar Singer difference sets…
Let G be a connected, compact, semisimple Lie group. It is known that for a compact closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ of genus $l >1$, the order of the group $H^2(\Sigma,\pi_1(G))$ is equal to the number of connected components of the…
Pick $n$ independent and uniform random points $U_1,\ldots,U_n$ in a compact convex set $K$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with volume 1, and let $P^{(d)}_K(n)$ be the probability that these points are in convex position. The Sylvester conjecture in…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a (separable) Hilbert space and $\{e_k\}_{k\geq 1}$ a fixed orthonormal basis of $\mathcal{H}$. Motivated by many papers on scaled projections, angles of subspaces and oblique projections, we define and study the notion…
Let $\mathfrak{g} = \bigoplus_{i \in \mathbb{Z} /m \mathbb{Z}} \mathfrak{g}_i$ be a periodically graded semisimple complex Lie algebra. In this note, we give a uniform proof of the recent result by W. de Graaf and H. V. L\^e that the…
The unit disk graph (UDG) is a widely employed model for the study of wireless networks. In this model, wireless nodes are represented by points in the plane and there is an edge between two points if and only if their Euclidean distance is…
We quantify the topological expansion properties of bounded degree simplicial complexes in terms of a family of sublinear functions, in analogy with the separation profile of Benjamini-Schramm-Tim\'ar for classical expansion of bounded…
Let H be a closed subgroup of a linear algebraic group G defined over a field F. There is an equivalence of categories between the category of linear finite-dimensional representations of H and the category of finite rank G-homogeneous…
Every maximum scattered linear set in $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^5)$ is the projection of an $\mathbb{F}_q$-subgeometry $\Sigma$ of $\mathrm{PG}(4,q^5)$ from a plane $\Gamma$ external to the secant variety to $\Sigma$. The pair $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ will…
Fix positive integers $n,r,d$. We show that if $n,r,d$ satisfy a suitable inequality, then any smooth hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ defined over a finite field of characteristic $p$ sufficiently large contains a rational $r$-plane.…
Projective structures on topological surfaces support the structure of 2d CFTs with a degree of technical simplification. We propose a complex analytic space $\mathcal{P}_g$ biholomorphic to $T^*_{(1,0)} \mathcal{M}_g$ as a candidate moduli…
We describe the Median K-Flats (MKF) algorithm, a simple online method for hybrid linear modeling, i.e., for approximating data by a mixture of flats. This algorithm simultaneously partitions the data into clusters while finding their…
