We test claims of large-scale anisotropy in the local expansion rate using cluster scaling relations as distance indicators. Using a Bayesian forward model, we jointly fit the X-ray luminosity--temperature (LT) and thermal…

Carbery proved that if $u:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a positive, strictly convex function satisfying $\det D^2u \geq 1$, then we have the estimate $$ \left| \left\{x \in \mathbb{R}^n: u(x) \leq s \right\} \right| \lesssim_n…

Real analytic ($\mathcal{C}^\omega$) surfaces $S^2$ in $\mathbb{R}^3 \ni (x,y,u)$ graphed as $\big\{ u = F(x,y) \big\}$ with $F_{xx} \neq 0$ whose Gaussian curvature vanishes identically: \[ 0 \,\equiv\, F_{xx}\,F_{yy} - F_{xy}^2, \]…

We obtain a complete description of local anisotropic scaling limits for a class of fractional random fields $X$ on ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ written as stochastic integral with respect to infinitely divisible random measure. The scaling procedure…

We explain the relation between the $r=1$ logistic map $x_{i+1}=rx_i(1-x_i)$, $x_i\in\mathbb R$, $i=0,1,\ldots$, $r>0$ and $x_0\geq0$, and the RG flow in the multiscale analysis of zero fixed point, asymptotic free QFT models as e.g. the…

We consider a regression model with errors that are a.s. negative. Thus the regression function is not the expected value of the observations but the right endpoint of their support. We develop two goodness-of-fit tests for the hypotheses…

In this paper we investigate aspects of rigidity and flexibility for conformal iterated function systems. For the case in which the systems are not essentially affine we show that two such systems are conformal equivalent if and only if in…

We consider the problem of estimating latent positions in a one-dimensional torus from pairwise affinities. The observed affinity between a pair of items is modeled as a noisy observation of a function $f(x^*_{i},x^*_{j})$ of the latent…

Let X_1 and X_2 be mixing connected algebraic dynamical systems with the Descending Chain Condition. We show that every equivariant continuous map X_1 to X_2 is affine (that is, X_2 is topologically rigid) if and only if the system X_2 has…

In spatial statistics, point processes are often assumed to be isotropic meaning that their distribution is invariant under rotations. Statistical tests for the null hypothesis of isotropy found in the literature are based either on…

We provide a series of rigidity results for a nonlocal phase transition equation. The prototype equation that we consider is of the form $$ (-\Delta)^{s/2} u=u-u^3,$$ with~$s\in(0,1)$. More generally, we can take into account equations like…

The paper is devoted to the isotropic realizability of a regular gradient field u or a more general vector field b, namely the existence of a continuous positive function $\sigma$ such that $\sigma$b is divergence free in R d or in an open…

We develop a unified approach to defining a point at infinity for an arbitrary space and formalizing convergence to this point. Central to our work is a method to quantify and classify the rates at which functions approach their limits at…

Our main result is the following: let X be a normal affine toric surface without torus factor. Then there exists a non-normal affine toric surface X' with automorphism group isomorphic to the automorphism group of X if and only if X is…

Gaussian random fields are among the most important models of amorphous spatial structures and appear across length scales in a variety of physical, biological, and geological applications, from composite materials to geospatial data.…

The problem of assessing a parametric regression model in the presence of spatial correlation is addressed in this work. For that purpose, a goodness-of-fit test based on a $L_2$-distance comparing a parametric and a nonparametric…

Based on the results published recently [SciPost Phys. 7, 026 (2019)], the influence of surfaces and boundary fields are calculated for the ferromagnetic anisotropic square lattice Ising model on finite lattices as well as in the…

In this paper, we present a novel affine-invariant feature based on SIFT, leveraging the regular appearance of man-made objects. The feature achieves full affine invariance without needing to simulate over affine parameter space. Low-rank…

We prove that the isometric embedding of any metric of differentiability class C1 in E3 exists. We use simplified notation for the given metric, namely geodesic parameters, and level parameters for the embedded surface in E3. Central to our…

We study deformations of the geodesic distances on a domain of R N induced by a function called conformal factor. We show that under a positive reach assumption on the domain (not necessarily a submanifold) and mild assumptions on the…
