We study the expected volume of random polytopes generated by taking the convex hull of independent identically distributed points from a given distribution. We show that for log-concave distributions supported on convex bodies, we need at…
Normalizing flows are a promising tool for modeling probability distributions in physical systems. While state-of-the-art flows accurately approximate distributions and energies, applications in physics additionally require smooth energies…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with two distinguished vertices $s,t\in V$ and an integer $L$, an {\em $L$-bounded flow} is a flow between $s$ and $t$ that can be decomposed into paths of length at most $L$. In the {\em maximum $L$-bounded flow…
We study the problem of approximating the mixed volume $V(P_1^{(\alpha_1)}, \dots, P_k^{(\alpha_k)})$ of an $k$-tuple of convex polytopes $(P_1, \dots, P_k)$, each of which is defined as the convex hull of at most $m_0$ points in…
We observe that fullerene graphs are one-skeletons of polyhedra, which can be realized with all dihedral angles equal to $\pi/2$ in a hyperbolic 3-dimensional space. One of the most important invariants of such a polyhedron is its volume.…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable manifold and $\mathcal{P}(M)$ the space of Poisson structures on $M$. We construct a Poisson bracket on $\mathcal{P}(M)$ depending on a choice of volume form. The Hamiltonian flow of the bracket acts on…

This article studies a large, general class of orthogonal polytopes which we may call "generic orthotopes". These objects emerged from a desire to represent a Coxeter complex by an orthogonal polytope that is particularly nice with respect…
