A shadowable point for a flow is a point where the shadowing lemma holds for pseudo-orbits passing through it. We prove that this concept satisfies the following properties: the set of shadowable points is invariant and a $G_{\delta}$ set.…
Efficiently learning expectation values of unknown quantum states via classical shadows has become an important primitive in both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum computation. Typically, classical shadow protocols involve…
It is known since 1954 that every 3-manifold bounds a 4-manifold. Thus, for instance, every 3-manifold has a surgery diagram. There are several proofs of this fact, including constructive proofs, but there has been little attention to the…
An embedded twisted paper cylinder of aspect ratio $\lambda$ is a smooth isometric embedding of a flat $\lambda \times 1$ cylinder into $\R^3$ such that the images of the boundary components are linked. We prove that for such an object to…
Any symmetric affinity function $w: V\times V \to \mathbb{R}_+$ defined on a discrete set $V$ induces Euclidean space structure on $V$. In particular, an undirected graph specified by an affinity (or adjacency) matrix can be considered as a…
We study a family of closed quantum graphs described by one singular vertex of order n=4. By suitable choice of the parameters specifying the singular vertex, we can construct a closed sequence of paths in the parameter space that…
The co-varying physical couplings (CPC) framework states that physical parameters like the speed of light in vacuum $c$, the Newtonian constant $G$, and the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ could indeed vary with the spacetime coordinates…
In the directed setting, the spaces of directed paths between fixed initial and terminal points are the defining feature for distinguishing different directed spaces. The simplest case is when the space of directed paths is homotopy…
Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space, with uniformity $\mathscr{U}$, and let $f \colon X \to X$ be a continuous function. For $D \in \mathscr{U}$, a $D$-pseudo-orbit is a sequence $(x_i)$ for which $(f(x_i),x_{i+1}) \in D$ for all indices…
This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…
A set of points $S$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called a 2-distance set if the set of pairwise distances between the points has cardinality two. The 2-distance set is called spherical if its points lie on the unit…
We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a smooth surface in a 4-manifold X to be pseudoholomorphic with respect to some almost complex structure on X. This provides a systematic approach to the construction of pseudoholomorphic…
We provide an alternative view of some results in [1, 3, 11]. In particular, we prove that (1) if a continuous self-map of a compact metric space has the shadowing, then the union of the basins of terminal chain components is a dense…
The core of this note is the observation that links between circle packings of graphs and potential theory developed in \cite{BeSc01} and \cite{HS} can be extended to higher dimensions. In particular, it is shown that every limit of finite…
Given two closed curves in a surface, we propose an algorithm to detect whether they are of the same type or not.
The paper explores the shadow of the repulsive Rutherford scattering - the portion of space entirely shielded from admitting any particle trajectory. The geometric properties of the projectile shadow are analyzed in detail in the…
Let $Q_n$ denote the graph of the $n$-dimensional cube with vertex set $\{0,1\}^n$ in which two vertices are adjacent if they differ in exactly one coordinate. Suppose $G$ is a subgraph of $Q_n$ with average degree at least $d$. How long a…
In this paper we characterize the irreducible curves lying in $C^{(2)}$. We prove that a curve $B$ has a degree one morphism to $C^{(2)}$ with image a curve of degree $d$ with irreducible preimage in $C\times C$ if and only if there exists…
It is verified that the number of vertices in a $d$-dimensional cubical pseudomanifold is at least $2^{d+1}$. Using Adin's cubical $h$-vector, the generalized lower bound conjecture is established for all cubical 4-spheres, as well as for…
A rotation in a Euclidean space V is an orthogonal map on V which acts locally as a plane rotation with some fixed angle. We give a classification of all pairs of rotations in finite-dimensional Euclidean space, up to simultaneous…
