We outline a recently developed theory of impedance-matching, or reflectionless excitation of arbitrary finite photonic structures in any dimension. It describes the necessary and sufficient conditions for perfectly reflectionless…

Tensor parameters that are amortized or regularized over large tensor powers, often called "asymptotic" tensor parameters, play a central role in several areas including algebraic complexity theory (constructing fast matrix multiplication…

Uniformly distributed point sets on the unit sphere with and without symmetry constraints have been found useful in many scientific and engineering applications. Here, a novel variant of the Thomson problem is proposed and formulated as an…

A commutative ring is reduced when it can be embedded into a direct product of fields. While the category of reduced commutative rings plays a fundamental role in affine geometry, it exhibits several structural deficiencies: it admits…

We show that for a nonnegative tensor, a best nonnegative rank-r approximation is almost always unique, its best rank-one approximation may always be chosen to be a best nonnegative rank-one approximation, and that the set of nonnegative…

In this article, we study a restricted mixed ray transform acting on second-order tensor fields in 3-dimensional Euclidean space and prove the invertibility of this integral transform using microlocal techniques. Here, the mixed ray…

It is well-known that tensor decompositions show separations, that is, that constraints on local terms (such as positivity) may entail an arbitrarily high cost in their representation. Here we show that many of these separations disappear…
