We calculate stable arrangements for a single superfluid vortex pinned to the wall of a stationary cylindrical container. We find that, independent of the details of the pinning site, stable vortices must subtend most of the cell…
A MAD (maximal almost disjoint) family is an infinite subset A of the infinite subsets of {0,1,2,..} such that any two elements of A intersect in a finite set and every infinite subset of {0.1.2...} meets some element of $\aa$ in an…
Bennett, Iosevich and Taylor proved that compact subsets of ${\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, of Hausdorff dimensions greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$ contain chains of arbitrary length with gaps in a non-trivial interval. In this paper we generalize…
Structural independence is the (conditional) independence that arises from the structure rather than the precise numerical values of a distribution. We develop this concept and relate it to $d$-separation and structural causal models.…
In these informal notes, we continue to explore p-adic versions of Heisenberg groups and some of their variants, including the structure of the corresponding Cantor sets.
Let $D(n)$ be the number of pairwise disjoint Steiner quadruple systems. A simple counting argument shows that $D(n) \leq n-3$ and a set of $n-3$ such systems is called a large set. No nontrivial large set was constructed yet, although it…
We explore the properties of non-piecewise syndetic sets with positive upper density, which we call "discordant", in countably infinite amenable (semi)groups. Sets of this kind are involved in many questions of Ramsey theory and manifest…
Inspired by the issue of stability of molecular structures, we investigate the strict minimality of point sets with respect to configurational energies featuring two- and three-body contributions. Our main focus is on characterizing those…
Let $m\in\mathbb N_{\ge 2}$, and let $\mathcal K=\{K_\lambda: \lambda\in(0, 1/m]\}$ be a class of Cantor sets, where $K_{\lambda}=\{\sum_{i=1}^\infty d_i\lambda^i: d_i\in\{0,1,\ldots, m-1\}, i\ge 1\}$. We investigate in this paper the…
Sticks at one of different orientation are placed in an i.i.d. fashion at points of a Poisson point process of intensity $\lambda$. Sticks of the same direction have the same length, while sticks in different directions may have different…
Let $\&$ be a continuous triangular norm on the unit interval $[0,1]$ and $\mathbf{A}$ be a cartesian closed and stable subconstruct of the category consisting of all real-enriched categories. Firstly, it is shown that the category…
A Steinhaus set $S \subseteq \RR^d$ for a set $A \subseteq \RR^d$ is a set such that $S$ has exactly one point in common with $\tau A$, for every rigid motion $\tau$ of $\RR^d$. We show here that if $A$ is a finite set of at least two…
A minimal Cantor system is said to be self-induced whenever it is conjugate to one of its induced systems. Substitution subshifts and some odometers are classical examples, and we show that these are the only examples in the equicontinuous…
Our main result is a construction of four families C_1,C_2,B_1,B_2 which are equipollent with the power set of the real line R and satisfy the following properties. (i) The members of the families are proper subfields of R whose algebraic…
The so-called STIT tessellations form the class of homogeneous (spatially stationary) tessellations of $\mathbb{R}^d$ which are stable under the nesting/iteration operation. In this paper, we establish the strong mixing property for these…
We study non-supersymmetric attractors obtained in Type IIA compactifications on Calabi Yau manifolds. Determining if an attractor is stable or unstable requires an algebraically complicated analysis in general. We show using group…
We show that quantum systems of extended objects naturally give rise to a large class of exotic phases - namely topological phases. These phases occur when the extended objects, called ``string-nets'', become highly fluctuating and…
This paper considers the problem of characterizing the simplest discrete point sets that are aperiodic, using invariants based on topological dynamics. A Delone set whose patch-counting function N(T), for radius T, is finite for all T is…
In this paper, it is shown that for a minimal system $(X,T)$ and $d,k\in \mathbb{N}$, if $(x,x_i)$ is regionally proximal of order $d$ for $1\leq i\leq k$, then $(x,x_1,\ldots,x_k)$ is $(k+1)$-regionally proximal of order $d$. Meanwhile, we…
A source encoder is stable if a small change in the source sequence (e.g., changing a few symbols) results in a small (or bounded) change in the output codeword. By this definition, the common technique of random binning is unstable;…
