In this work, we derive some novel properties of the bimodal normal distribution. Some of its mathematical properties are examined. We provide a formal proof for the bimodality and assess identifiability. We then discuss the maximum…

We consider the problem of recovering the Riemannian metric on a compact closed manifold from the optimal transport maps when the underlying cost function is the squared Riemann distance. We show that the metric can be uniquely determined…

Given two n-dimensional measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on Polish spaces, we propose an optimal transportation's formulation, inspired by classical Kan-torovitch's formulation in the scalar case. In particular, we established a strong duality…

Counterfactual reasoning is a foundational topic in both philosophical and logical studies \cite{Stalnaker1968-STAATO-5, Lewis1973-LEWC-2}. A pivotal component of counterfactual analysis is the concept of similarity between possible worlds…

The expansion exponent (or expansion constant) for maps was introduced by Schreiber in \cite{s}. In this paper, we introduce the analogous exponent for measures. We shall prove the following results: The expansion exponent of a measurable…

It is well known that given two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}$ in convex order there exists a discrete-time martingale with these marginals. Several solutions are known (for example from the literature on the Skorokhod…

It is shown that a singular equivalence induced by tensoring with a suitable complex of bimodules defines a singular equivalence of Morita type with level, in the sense of Wang. This result is applied to homological ideals and idempotents…

The Einstein-Maxwell equations on a smooth compact 4-manifold are reformulated as a purely Riemannian variational problem analogous to Calabi's variational problem for extremal Kahler metrics. Next, Seiberg-Witten theory is used to show…

Let $L=\Delta-\nabla\phi\cdot \nabla$ be a symmetric diffusion operator with an invariant measure $\mu({\rm} d x)=e^{-\phi(x)}{\mathfrak m}({\rm d} x)$ on a complete non-compact smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with its volume element…

We show that the positive mass theorem holds for continuous Riemannian metrics that lie in the Sobolev space $W^{2, n/2}_{loc}$ for manifolds of dimension less than or equal to $7$ or spin-manifolds of any dimension. More generally, we give…

The localization tensor is a measure of distinguishability between insulators and metals. This tensor is related to the quantum metric tensor associated with the occupied bands in momentum space. In two dimensions and in the thermodynamic…
