We prove a new generalization of the higher-order Cheeger inequality for partitioning with buffers. Consider a graph $G=(V,E)$. The buffered expansion of a set $S \subseteq V$ with a buffer $B \subseteq V \setminus S$ is the edge expansion…

This note details how a recent structure theorem for normal $1$-currents proved by the first and third author allows to prove a conjecture of Cheeger concerning the structure of Lipschitz differentiability spaces. More precisely, we show…

In this paper we investigate the behavior of the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on sets in $\mathbb{R}^N$ whose first eigenvalue is close to the one of the ball with the same volume. In particular in our main Theorem we prove that,…

We prove sharp Dirichlet eigenvalue inequalities for planar triangles. We settle a conjecture of Laugesen and Siudeja by showing that the equilateral triangle uniquely minimizes a scale-invariant functional of the first Dirichlet…

We study the fundamental problem of clustering $n$ points into $K$ groups drawn from a mixture of isotropic Gaussians in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Specifically, we investigate the requisite minimal distance $\Delta$ between mean vectors to partially…

Recently, in the metric spaces, Le Donne and the author introduced the so-called intrinsically Lipschitz sections. The main aim of this note is to adapt Cheeger theory for the classical Lipschitz constants in our new context. More…

With any non necessarily orientable unpunctured marked surface (S,M) we associate a commutative algebra, called quasi-cluster algebra, equipped with a distinguished set of generators, called quasi-cluster variables, in bijection with the…

We study the limit of first eigenfunctions of (discrete) $p$-Laplacian on a finite subset of a graph with Dirichlet boundary condition, as $p\to 1.$ We prove that up to a subsequence, they converge to a summation of characteristic functions…

We study the following distribution clustering problem: Given a hidden partition of $k$ distributions into two groups, such that the distributions within each group are the same, and the two distributions associated with the two clusters…

We prove estimates for the sharp constants in fractional Poincar\'e-Sobolev inequalities associated to an open set, in terms of a nonlocal capacitary extension of its inradius. This work builds upon previous results obtained in the local…

We present a principled spectral approach to the well-studied constrained clustering problem. It reduces clustering to a generalized eigenvalue problem on Laplacians. The method works in nearly-linear time and provides concrete guarantees…

Buser's inequality gives an upper bound on the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian of a closed manifold M in terms of the Cheeger constant h(M). Agol later gave a quantitative improvement of Buser's inequality. Agol's result is less…

We define a class of so-called thinnable ideals $\mathcal{I}$ on the positive integers which includes several well-known examples, e.g., the collection of sets with zero asymptotic density, sets with zero logarithmic density, and several…

We introduce a simple model of active transport for an ensemble of particles driven by an external shear flow. Active refers to the fact that the flow of the particles is modified by the distribution of particles itself. The model consists…

The Coupled-Cluster theory is one of the most successful high precision methods used to solve the stationary Schr\"odinger equation. In this article, we address the mathematical foundation of this theory with focus on the advances made in…

We study the regularity of minimizers for a variant of the soap bubble cluster problem: \begin{align*} \min \sum_{\ell=0}^N c_{\ell} P( S_\ell)\,, \end{align*} where $c_\ell>0$, among partitions $\{S_0,\dots,S_N,G\}$ of $\mathbb{R}^2$…

The object of the paper is to find complete systems of inequalities relating the perimeter $P$, the area $|\cdot|$ and the Cheeger constant $h$ of planar sets. To do so, we study the so called Blaschke--Santal\'o diagram of the triplet…

We investigate an infinite, linear system of ordinary differential equations that models the evolution of fragmenting clusters. We assume that each cluster is composed of identical units (monomers) and we allow mass to be lost, gained or…

Using the notion of compatibility between Poisson brackets and cluster structures in the coordinate rings of simple Lie groups, Gekhtman Shapiro and Vainshtein conjectured a correspondence between the two. Poisson Lie groups are classified…

In this paper, we take an axiomatic approach to defining a population hierarchical clustering for piecewise constant densities, and in a similar manner to Lebesgue integration, extend this definition to more general densities. When the…
