On a Riemannian manifold, lower Ricci curvature bounds are known to be characterized by geodesic convexity properties of various entropies with respect to the Kantorovich-Rubinstein-Wasserstein square distance from optimal transportation.…
The large-scale structure of the Universe is well approximated by the Friedmann equations, parametrized by several energy densities which can be observationally inferred. A natural question to ask is: How different would the Universe be if…
We develop a finite volume method for Maxwell's equations in materials whose electromagnetic properties vary in space and time. We investigate both conservative and non-conservative numerical formulations. High-order methods accurately…
The energy distance is used to test distributional equality, and as a loss function in machine learning. While $D^2(X, Y)=0$ only when $X\sim Y$, the sensitivity to different moments is of practical importance. This work considers $D^2(X,…
A geometric construction for obtaining a prolongation of a connection to a connection of a bundle of connections is presented. This determines a natural extension of the notion of canonical energy-tensor which suits gauge and gravitational…
We present some recent results on the motion of test bodies with internal structure in General Relativity. On the basis of a multipolar approximation scheme, we study the motion of extended test bodies endowed with an explicit model for the…
New criteria for energy stability of multi-step, multi-stage, and mixed schemes are introduced in the context of evolution equations that arise as gradient flow with respect to a metric. These criteria are used to exhibit second and third…
In this talk, I first present the motivation for theories wherein extra spacetime dimensions can be compactified to have large magnitudes. In particular, I discuss the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali (ADD) scenario. I present the…
We consider a hydrogen atom confined in a thick brane embedded in a higher-dimensional space. Due to effects of the extra dimensions, the gravitational potential is amplified in distances smaller than the size of the supplementary space, in…
The study of the relation between Lie algebras and groups, and especially the derivation of new algebras from them, is a problem of great interest in mathematics and physics, because finding a new Lie group from an already known one also…
The problem of the `infinite energy' of a point charge is well known in connection with the Lorentz--Abraham--Dirac equation and, more significantly, in quantum electrodynamics. Though it is not stated usually, this is strongly related to…
We introduce a linear programming framework for obtaining upper bounds for the potential energy of spherical codes of fixed cardinality and minimum distance. Using Hermite interpolation we construct polynomials to derive corresponding…
Higher-form symmetries are associated with transformations that only act on extended objects, not on point particles. Typically, higher-form symmetries live alongside ordinary, point-particle (0-form), symmetries and they can be jointly…
We establish the existence of liftings into discrete subspaces of $\mathbf{H}(\mathrm{div})$ of piecewise polynomial data on locally refined simplicial partitions of polygonal/polyhedral domains. Our liftings are robust with respect to the…
A relaxed factorization is used to obtain many of the properties obeyed by the confluent hypergeometric functions. Their implications on the analytical solutions of some interesting physical problems are also studied. It is quite remarkable…
The use of external restraints is ubiquitous in advanced molecular simulation techniques. In general, restraints serve to reduce the configurational space that is available for sampling, thereby reducing the computational demands associated…
We consider an extension of the triangular-distance Delaunay graphs (TD-Delaunay) on a set $P$ of points in the plane. In TD-Delaunay, the convex distance is defined by a fixed-oriented equilateral triangle $\triangledown$, and there is an…
Certain energy-conservative Galerkin discretizations for nonlinear dispersive wave equations have revealed an unusual convergence behavior: optimal convergence is attained when continuous Lagrange finite element spaces of odd polynomial…
High-energy physics is primarily concerned with uncovering the laws and principles that govern nature at the fundamental level. Research in this field usually relies on probing the boundaries of established physics, an undertaking typically…
When inclusions in a composite are separated by a very small gap, high contrast between the inclusion and matrix properties can induce strong amplification of the underlying field inside the narrow region. Quantifying this field…
