In this paper we show that the spherical cap discrepancy of the point set given by centers of pixels in the HEALPix tessellation (short for Hierarchical, Equal Area and iso-Latitude Pixelation) of unit $2$-sphere is lower and upper bounded…

Thomson problem is a classical problem in physics to study how $n$ number of charged particles distribute themselves on the surface of a sphere of $k$ dimensions. When $k=2$, i.e. a 2-sphere (a circle), the particles appear at equally…

The semilinear stochastic wave equation on the sphere driven by multiplicative Gaussian noise is discretized by a stochastic trigonometric integrator in time and a spectral Galerkin approximation in space based on the spherical harmonic…

We study Dirichlet boundary control of Stokes flows in 2D polygonal domains. We consider cost functionals with two different boundary control regularization terms: the $L^2$ norm and an energy space seminorm. We prove well-posedness and…

Any symmetry reduces a second-order differential equation to a first-order equation: variational symmetries of the action (exemplified by central field dynamics) lead to conservation laws, but symmetries of only the equations of motion…

Any function from a round $n$-dimensional sphere of radius $r$ into $n$-dimensional Euclidean space must distort the metric additively by at least $\displaystyle \frac{\pi r}{1 + \sqrt{1 - \frac{2}{n+2}}}$ if $n$ is even and $\displaystyle…

In a thermal field theory, the cumulants of the momentum distribution can be extracted from the dependence of the Euclidean path integral on a shift in the fields built into the temporal boundary condition. When combined with the Ward…

This paper is devoted to an inverse Steklov problem for a particular class of n-dimensional manifolds having the topology of a hollow sphere and equipped with a warped product metric. We prove that the knowledge of the Steklov spectrum…

Likelihood fitting to two-point clustering statistics made from galaxy surveys usually assumes a multivariate normal distribution for the measurements, with justification based on the central limit theorem given the large number of…

Satellites mapping the spatial variations of the gravitational or magnetic fields of the Earth or other planets ideally fly on polar orbits, uniformly covering the entire globe. Thus, potential fields on the sphere are usually expressed in…

Conventional ideal point models rely on Gaussian or quadratic utility functions that violate the triangle inequality, producing non-metric distances that complicate geometric interpretation and undermine clustering and dispersion-based…

We consider a new variant of cosmological perturbation theory that has been designed specifically to include non-linear density contrasts on scales 100 Mpc, while still allowing for linear fluctuations on larger scales. This theory is used…

The classical relativistic wave equations are presented as partial difference equations in the arena of covariant discrete phase space. These equations are also expressed as difference-differential equations in discrete phase space and…

We derive and investigate lower bounds for the potential energy of finite spherical point sets (spherical codes). Our bounds are optimal in the following sense -- they cannot be improved by employing polynomials of the same or lower degrees…

Cosmological observables rely heavily on summary statistics such as two-point correlation functions. In many practical cases (e.g. the weak-lensing cosmic shear), those correlation functions are estimated from a finite, discrete sample of…

The property of adiabatic invariance is studied for the generalized potential satisfying the condition of identity of sphere's and point mass's gravity. That function contains a second term corresponding to the cosmological constant as…

We construct a structure preserving non-conforming finite element approximation scheme for the bi-harmonic wave maps into spheres equation. It satisfies a discrete energy law and preserves the non-convex sphere constraint of the continuous…

We consider the Schr\"odinger equation with no radial assumption on real hyperbolic spaces. We obtain sharp dispersive and Strichartz estimates for a large family of admissible pairs. As a first consequence, we get strong well-posedness…

Because scaling symmetries of the Euler-Lagrange equations are generally not variational symmetries of the action, they do not lead to conservation laws. Instead, an extension of Noether's theorem reduces the equations of motion to…
