We use the inverse pressure concept to estimate the stable dimension for hyperbolic non-invertible maps which are conformal in the stable fibers. The non-invertible case is different than the diffeomorphism case. In particular we show that…

A conjecture of Hopkins (2018) posits that for certain high-dimensional hypothesis testing problems, no polynomial-time algorithm can outperform so-called "simple statistics", which are low-degree polynomials in the data. This conjecture…

Motivated by the programmes initiated by Taubes and Perutz, we study the geometry of near-symplectic 4-manifolds, i.e., manifolds equipped with a closed 2-form which is symplectic outside a union of embedded 1-dimensional submanifolds, and…

Going beyond the studies of single and double Hurwitz numbers, we report some progress towards studying Hurwitz numbers which correspond to ramified coverings of the Riemann sphere involving three nonsimple branch points. We first prove a…

We show that every non-degenerate regular polytope can be used to construct a thin, residually-connected, chamber-transitive incidence geometry, i.e. a regular hypertope, with a tail-triangle Coxeter diagram. We discuss several interesting…

Let $\lambda$ be a dominant weight of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra and $W$ the Weyl group. The convex hull of $W\lambda$ is defined as the weight polytope of $\lambda$. We provide a new proof that there is a natural bijection…

We study orbifolds by permutations of two identical N=2 minimal models within the Gepner construction of four dimensional heterotic strings. This is done using the new N=2 supersymmetric permutation orbifold building blocks we have recently…

In arXiv:2207.08617 [math.DG] Brendle-Hirsch-Johne proved that $T^m\times S^{n-m}$ does not admit metrics with positive $m$-intermediate curvature when $n\leq 7$. Chu-Kwong-Lee showed in arXiv:2208.12240 [math.DG] a corresponding rigidity…

In this thesis we examine a set of foundational questions concerning closed forms in superspace. By reformulating a number of definitions through the use of a new ring of (anti-)commuting variables and the concept of an exact Bianchi form,…

A new two dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ Supersymmetric Non-Linear Sigma Model describes the dynamics of internal moduli of the BPS semi-local vortex string supported in four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ SQED. While the core of these…

It is well-known that every polyhedral cone is finitely generated (i.e. polytopal), and vice versa. Surprisingly, the two notions differ almost always for non-commutative versions of such cones. This was obtained as a byproduct in an…

Kim, Kim, and Neggers (2019) defined probability functions on a poset, by listing some very natural conditions that a function \(\pi: P \times P \to [0,1]\) should satisfy in order to capture the intuition of "the likelihood that \(a\)…

Let $G\subset SO(4)$ denote a finite subgroup containing the Heisenberg group. In these notes we classify all these groups, we find the dimension of the spaces of $G$-invariant polynomials and we give equations for the generators whenever…

This paper is a companion to our earlier work arXiv:0710.3440 in which the projective superspace formulation for matter-coupled simple supergravity in five dimensions was presented. For the minimal multiplet of 5D N=1 supergravity…

Penrose's quasi-local mass construction is carried through for two-surfaces at infinity in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space-times. A modification of the Witten argument is given to prove a positivity property of the resulting conserved…

We investigate some combinatorial properties of convex polytopes simple in edges. For polytopes whose nonsimple vertices are located sufficiently far one from another, we prove an analog of the Hard Lefschetz theorem. It implies Stanley's…

Generalized permutahedra are the polytopes obtained from the permutahedron by changing the edge lengths while preserving the edge directions, possibly identifying vertices along the way. We introduce a "lifting" construction for these…

We generalize R. P. Stanley's celebrated theorem that the $h^\ast$-polynomial of the Ehrhart series of a rational polytope has nonnegative coefficients and is monotone under containment of polytopes. We show that these results continue to…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple simply connected linear algebraic group. The main result of this note is to give several equivalent criteria for the untwistedness of the twisted cubes introduced by Grossberg and Karshon. In certain cases…

We prove that for all integers $2\leq m\leq d-1$, there exists doubling measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with full support that are $m$-rectifiable and purely $(m-1)$-unrectifiable in the sense of Federer (i.e. without assuming…
