This paper proposes a new concept of pluripotency inspired by Colli-Vargas [Ergod. Theory Dyn. Syst., 21(6):1657-1681, 2001] and presents fundamental theorems for developing the theory. Pluripotency reprograms dynamics from a statistical or…
We consider the two-matrix model with potentials whose derivative are arbitrary rational function of fixed pole structure and the support of the spectra of the matrices are union of intervals (hard-edges). We derive an explicit formula for…
The paper outlines novel variational technique for finding microstructures of optimal multimaterial composites, bounds of composites properties, and multimaterial optimal designs. The translation method that is used for the exact…
This note provides a short guide to dimensional analysis in Lorentzian and general relativity and in differential geometry. It tries to revive Dorgelo and Schouten's notion of 'intrinsic' or 'absolute' dimension of a tensorial quantity. The…
The large $N$ limit of symmetric orbifold theories was recently argued to have an AdS/CFT dual world-sheet description in terms of an $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$ WZW model. In previous work the world-sheet state corresponding to the…
We consider the problem of satisfaction of boundary conditions when the generalized stress vector is given on the surfaces for elastic plates and shells. This problem was open also both for refined theories in the wide sense and…
This letter announces and summarizes results obtained in arXiv:1111.5051 and considers several natural extensions. The aforementioned paper proposes a procedure to reconstruct coefficients in a second-order, scalar, elliptic equation from…
We present a new approach for generating solutions in heterotic string theory compactified down to three dimensions on a torus with d+n>2, where d and n stand for the number of compactified space--time dimensions and Abelian gauge fields,…
Modifications of the electromagnetic Maxwell Lagrangian in four dimensions have been considered by some authors. One may include an explicit massive term (Proca) and a topological but not Lorentz-invariant term within certain observational…
Using multiple scattering theory, we derived for the first time analytical formulas for electrostrictive tensors for two dimensional metamaterial systems. The electrostrictive tensor terms are found to depend explicitly on the symmetry of…
Fefferman and Graham showed some time ago that four dimensional conformal geometries could be analyzed in terms of six dimensional, ambient, Riemannian geometries admitting a closed homothety. Recently it was shown how conformal geometry…
We use optimal mass transport to provide a new proof and a dual formula to the Moser-Onofri inequality on $\s^2$ in the same spirit as the approach of Cordero-Erausquin, Nazaret and Villani to the Sobolev inequality and of…
One hundred years ago, in 1908, Hermann Minkowski completed his proof that Maxwell's equations are covariant under Lorentz transformations. During this process, he introduced a four-dimensional space called the Minkowskian space. In 1949,…
Scalar perturbations of Friedmann-Lemaitre cosmologies can be analyzed in a variety of ways using Einstein's field equations, the Ricci and Bianchi identities, or the conservation equations for the stress-energy tensor, and possibly…
We propose and study a class of novel algorithms that aim at solving bilinear and quadratic inverse problems. Using a convex relaxation based on tensorial lifting, and applying first-order proximal algorithms, these problems could be solved…
The microscopic definition for the Cauchy stress tensor has been examined in the past from many different perspectives. This has led to different expressions for the stress tensor and consequently the "correct" definition has been a subject…
We propose general notions to deal with large scale polynomial optimization problems and demonstrate their efficiency on a key industrial problem of the twenty first century, namely the optimal power flow problem. These notions enable us to…
Elastodynamic cohesive-zone models for defects such as cracks or dislocations (such as the Geubelle-Rice model for cracks, or the Dynamic Peierls Equation for flat-core dislocations), feature the same stress-response convolution kernel in…
Two-time-scale optimization is a framework introduced in Zeng et al. (2024) that abstracts a range of policy evaluation and policy optimization problems in reinforcement learning (RL). Akin to bi-level optimization under a particular type…
The aim of this paper is to analyze a mixed formulation for the two dimensional Stokes eigenvalue problem where the unknowns are the stress and the velocity, whereas the pressure can be recovered with a simple postprocess of the stress. The…
