Given a possibly discontinuous, bounded function $f:\mathbb{R}\mapsto\mathbb{R}$, we consider the set of generalized flows, obtained by assigning a probability measure on the set of Carath\'eodory solutions to the ODE ~$\dot x = f(x)$. The…

Entropy is useful in statistical problems as a measure of irreversibility, randomness, mixing, dispersion, and number of microstates. However, there remains ambiguity over the precise mathematical formulation of entropy, generalized beyond…

In geometry group theory, one of the milestones is M. Gromov's polynomial growth theorem: Finitely generated groups have polynomial growth if and only if they are virtually nilpotent. Inspired by M. Gromov's work, we introduce the growth…

The length-scale dependence of the dynamic entropy is studied in a molecular dynamics simulation of a binary Lennard-Jones liquid above the mode-coupling critical temperature $T_c$. A number of methods exist for estimating the entropy of…

M. Gromov introduced the mean dimension for a continuous map in the late 1990's, which is an invariant under topological conjugacy. On the other hand, the notion of metric mean dimension for a dynamical system was introduced by…

Kinetic theory describes a dilute monatomic gas using a distribution function $f(q,p,t)$, the expected phase-space density of particles. The distribution function evolves according to the collisionless Boltzmann equation in the high Knudsen…

We consider random labelings of finite graphs conditioned on a small fixed number of peaks. We introduce a continuum framework where a combinatorial graph is associated with a metric graph and edges are identified with intervals. Next we…

Let M be a compact smooth manifold of dimension n with or without boundary, and f : M $\rightarrow$ R be a smooth Gaussian random field. It is very natural to suppose that for a large positive real u, the random excursion set {f $\ge$ u} is…

We study a model of spinless fermions with infinite nearest-neighbor repulsion on the square ladder which has microscopic supersymmetry. It has been conjectured that in the continuum the model is described by the superconformal minimal…

Convexity properties of the entropy along displacement interpolations are crucial in the Lott-Sturm-Villani theory of lower bounded curvature of geodesic measure spaces. As discrete spaces fail to be geodesic, an alternate analogous theory…

In this paper, we study the induced homological sequence and the induced merge tree of a discrete Morse function on a tree. A discrete Morse function on a tree gives rise to a sequence of Betti numbers that keep track of the number of…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. The set $\text{F}^{r}(M)$ consisting of sequences $(f_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}$ of $C^{r}$-diffeomorphisms on $M$ can be endowed with the compact topology or with the strong topology. A notion of…
