In this paper we study regularity and topological properties of volume constrained minimizers of quasi-perimeters in $\sf RCD$ spaces where the reference measure is the Hausdorff measure. A quasi-perimeter is a functional given by the sum…

Consider the random polytope, that is given by the convex hull of a Poisson point process on a smooth convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove central limit theorems for continuous motion invariant valuations including the Will's functional…

We consider the last value $\hat{\mu} (\nu)$ of the vanishing sequence of $H^0(L)$ along a divisorial or irrational valuation $\nu$ centered at $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2,p}$, where $L$ resp. $p$ is a line resp. a point of the projective…

We give a purely geometrical smooth characterization of closed infrasolv manifolds and orbifolds by showing that, up to diffeomorphism, these are precisely the spaces which admit a collapse with bounded curvature and diameter to compact…

Much effort has been spent in recent years on restoring uniqueness of McKean-Vlasov SDEs with non-smooth coefficients. As a typical instance, the velocity field is assumed to be bounded and measurable in its space variable and…

This paper divides into two parts. Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact Hermitian manifold. Firstly, if the Hermitian metric $\omega$ satisfies the assumption that $\partial\overline{\partial}\omega^k=0$ for all $k$, we generalize the volume of…

Solving Fredholm equations of the first kind is crucial in many areas of the applied sciences. In this work we adopt a probabilistic and variational point of view by considering a minimization problem in the space of probability measures…

This paper introduces Least Volume (LV)--a simple yet effective regularization method inspired by geometric intuition--that reduces the number of latent dimensions required by an autoencoder without prior knowledge of the dataset's…

We consider a self-interacting diffusion $X$ on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold $\mathbb M$, described by the stochastic differential equation \[ dX_t = \sqrt{2} dW_t(X_t)- \beta(t) \nabla V_t(X_t)dt, \] where $\beta$ is suitably…

In this paper, we consider a finite-dimensional optimization problem minimizing a continuous objective on a compact domain subject to a multi-dimensional constraint function. For the latter, we assume the availability of a global Lipschitz…

We consider 2-dimensional orientable self-shrinkers $\Sigma$ for the Mean Curvature Flow of polynomial volume growth immersed in $\mathbb R^n$. We look at closed one forms minimizing the norm $\int_\Sigma \eterm |\omega|^2$ in their…

We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function given quantum access to a stochastic gradient oracle. We provide two new methods for the special case of minimizing a Lipschitz convex function. Each method obtains a dimension…

We extend our recent work on the creeping flow of a Bingham fluid in a lid-driven cavity, to the study of inertial effects, using a finite volume method and the Papanastasiou regularisation of the Bingham constitutive model [J. Rheology 31…

In this short note, using G\"unther's volume comparison theorem and Yokota's gap theorem on complete shrinking gradient Ricci solitons, we prove that for any complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton $(M^{n},g,f)$ with sectional curvature…

We study the normalization of a monomial ideal, and show how to compute its Hilbert function (using Ehrhart polynomials) if the ideal is zero dimensional. A positive lower bound for the second coefficient of the Hilbert polynomial is shown.

We present a new method for minimizing the sum of a differentiable convex function and an $\ell_1$-norm regularizer. The main features of the new method include: $(i)$ an evolving set of indices corresponding to variables that are predicted…

We consider functionals given by the sum of the perimeter and the double integral of some kernel $g:\mathbb R^N\times\mathbb R^N\to \mathbb R^+$, multiplied by a "mass parameter" $\varepsilon$. We show that, whenever $g$ is admissible,…

In this paper, we investigate the minimization of a functional in which the usual perimeter is competing with a nonlocal singular term comparable (but not necessarily equal to) a fractional perimeter. The motivation for this problem is a…

Discretization of the uniform norm of functions from a given finite dimensional subspace of continuous functions is studied. Previous known results show that for any $N$-dimensional subspace of the space of continuous functions it is…

It is shown that $3$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with nearly minimum total Gaussian surface area must be close to adjacent $120$ degree sectors, when $n\geq2$. These same results hold for any…
