A complete classification of continuous, dually epi-translation invariant, and rotation equivariant valuations on convex functions is established. This characterizes the recently introduced functional Minkowski vectors, which naturally…
We study the moment maps of a smooth projective toric variety. In particular, we characterize when the moment map coming from the quotient construction is equal to a weighted Fubini-Study moment map. This leads to an investigation into…
This paper is about the moment problem on a finite-dimensional vector space of continuous functions. We investigate the structure of the convex cone of moment functionals (supporting hyperplanes, exposed faces, inner points) and treat…
This paper introduces a new object called the momentum tensor. Together with the velocity tensor it forms a basis for establishing the tensorial picture of classical and relativistic mechanics. Some properties of the momentum tensor are…
A number of results related to statistical classification on convex sets are presented. In particular, the focus is on the case where some of the covariates in the data and observation being classified can be missing. The form of the…
Conformal Killing vectors (CKVs) preserve the spacetime metric up to a factor. Homothetic vectors and Killing vectors are special cases of CKVs. Classification of some classes of spacetimes on the basis of CKVs give interesting results…
For any unitary representation of an arbitrary Lie group I construct a moment mapping from the space of smooth vectors of the representation into the dual of the Lie algebra. This moment mapping is equivariant and smooth. For the space of…
We give a new heuristic for all of the main terms in the integral moments of various families of primitive L-functions. The results agree with previous conjectures for the leading order terms. Our conjectures also have an almost identical…
We prove several estimates for the moments of arbitrary measures on convex bodies. We apply these estimates to show a new slicing inequality for measures on convex bodies. We also deduce estimates for the outer volume ratio distance from an…
For a convex lattice polytope $P\subset \mathbb R^d$ of dimension $d$ with vertices in $\mathbb Z^d$, denote by $L(P)$ its discrete volume which is defined as the number of integer points inside $P$. The classical result due to Ehrhart says…
Functional analogs of the Euler characteristic and volume together with a new analog of the polar volume are characterized as non-negative, continuous, $\operatorname{SL}(n)$ and translation invariant valuations on the space of finite,…
Scalar, vector and tensor conserved quantities are essential tools in solving different problems in physics and complex, nonlinear differential equations in mathematics. In many guises they enter our understanding of nature: charge, lepton,…
The present paper deals with the quantum coordinates of an event in space-time, individuated by a quantum object. It is known that these observables cannot be described by self-adjoint operators or by the corresponding spectral…
The spaces of Sp(n)-, Sp(n)U(1)- and Sp(n)Sp(1)- invariant, translation invariant, continuous convex valuations on the quaternionic vector space H^n are studied. Combinatorial dimension formulas involving Young diagrams and Schur…
A characterization of valuations on the space of convex Lipschitz functions whose domain is a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is obtained. It is shown that every upper semicontinuous, equi-affine and dually epi-translation invariant valuation…
Let $K$ be a $d$ dimensional convex body with a twice continuously differentiable boundary and everywhere positive Gauss-Kronecker curvature. Denote by $K_n$ the convex hull of $n$ points chosen randomly and independently from $K$ according…
Let $K$ be a connected compact semisimple group and $V_\lambda$ be an irreducible unitary representation with highest weight $\lambda$. We study the momentum map $\mu:\mathbb P(V_\lambda)\to\mathfrak k^*$. The intersection $\mu(\mathbb…
We classify valuations on lattice polygons with values in the ring of formal power series that commute with the action of the affine unimodular group. A typical example of such valuations is induced by the Laplace transform, but as it turns…
Matrix-valued polynomials in any finite number of freely noncommuting variables that enjoy certain canonical partial convexity properties are characterized, via an algebraic certificate, in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities and Bilinear…
We give two different definitions of what it means for a matrix-valued function to be log concave, guided by similar notions in complex differential geometry. After discussing a few simple examples, we proceed to develop some of the basic…
