We prove two results on convex subsets of Euclidean spaces invariant under an orthogonal group action. First, we show that invariant spectrahedra admit an equivariant spectrahedral description, i.e., can be described by an equivariant…
We present results for physical quantities computed in quenched chiral perturbation theory and compare them with the corresponding unquenched expressions. We also point out an apparent theoretical problem of the quenched approximation.…
Bodies of density one half (of the fluid in which they are immersed) that can float in all orientations are investigated. It is shown that expansions starting from and deforming the (hyper)sphere are possible in arbitrary dimensions and…
The rheological properties of brushes of different length on the surface of human epithelial cancerous cells are studied here by means of coarse grained numerical simulations, where the surface of the cell is subjected to an external…
This article studies a large, general class of orthogonal polytopes which we may call "generic orthotopes". These objects emerged from a desire to represent a Coxeter complex by an orthogonal polytope that is particularly nice with respect…
The 2-body problem on the sphere and hyperbolic space are both real forms of holomorphic Hamiltonian systems defined on the complex sphere. This admits a natural description in terms of biquaternions and allows us to address questions…
In his treatise on floating bodies Archimedes determines the equilibrium positions of a floating paraboloid segment, but only in the case when the basis of the segment is either completely outside of the fluid or completely submerged. Here…
We revisit an ingenious argument of K. Ball to provide sharp estimates for the volume of sections of a convex body in John's position. Our technique combines the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality with a generalised Parseval-type identity.…
We obtain a new upper estimate on the Euclidean diameter of the intersection of the kernel of a random matrix with iid rows with a given convex body. The proof is based on a small-ball argument rather than on concentration and thus the…
Reducing the NP-problems to the convex/linear analysis on the Birkhoff polytope.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that is a major public health challenge. The disease is characterised by inflammation of synovial joints and cartilage erosion, which leads to chronic pain, poor life quality and, in some…
It is shown that, in certain circumstances, systems of cultural rules may be represented by doubly stochastic matrices denoted called possibility transforms, and by certain real valued possibility densities with inner product. Using such…
This paper investigates the relationship between the topology of hyperbolizable 3-manifolds M with incompressible boundary and the volume of hyperbolic convex cores homotopy equivalent to M. Specifically, it proves a conjecture of Bonahon…
We consider a model to describe stable configurations in epitaxial growth of crystals in the two dimensional case, and in the regime of linearized elasticity. The novelty is that the model also takes into consideration the adatom density on…
Cell shape is determined by a balance of intrinsic properties of the cell as well as its mechanochemical environment. Inhomogeneous shape changes underly many morphogenetic events and involve spatial gradients in active cellular forces…
We study the smoothness of the Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function associated to a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We also prove a formula relating the complex equilibrium measure of a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ to that of its Robin…
A regular method is suggested for constructing vortex-like solutions with cylindrical symmetry in the Skyrme-Einstein chiral model. The method is based on the expansion of metric and field functions in power series with respect to the two…
The idea of pairwise paracompactness was studied by many authors in a bitopological space. Here we study the same in the setting of more general structure of a bispace using the thoughts of the same given by Bose et al[2].
A mathematical model involving a syntrophic relationship between two populations of bacteria in a continuous culture is proposed. A detailed qualitative analysis is carried out. The local and global stability analysis of the equilibria are…
Biomembranes and vesicles consisting of multiple phases can attain a multitude of shapes, undergoing complex shape transitions. We study a Cahn--Hilliard model on an evolving hypersurface coupled to Navier--Stokes equations on the surface…
