We consider previously derived upper and lower bounds on the number of operators in a window of scaling dimensions $[\Delta - \delta,\Delta + \delta]$ at asymptotically large $\Delta$ in 2d unitary modular invariant CFTs. These bounds…
We derive conditions under which random sequences of polarizations (two-point symmetrizations) converge almost surely to the symmetric decreasing rearrangement. The parameters for the polarizations are independent random variables whose…
We study the insulated conductivity problem with closely spaced insulators embedded in a homogeneous matrix where the current-electric field relation is the power law $J = |E|^{p-2}E$. The gradient of solutions may blow up as $\varepsilon$,…
The isotropy constant of any $d$-dimensional polytope with $n$ vertices is bounded by $C \sqrt{n/d}$ where $C>0$ is a numerical constant.
Consider Bernoulli bond percolation on a graph nicely embedded in hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^d$ in such a way that it admits a transitive action by isometries of $\mathbb H^d$. Let $p_0$ be the supremum of such percolation parameters that…
We construct flat metrics in a given conformal class with prescribed singularities of real orders at marked points of a closed real surface. The singularities can be small conical, cylindrical, and large conical with possible translation…
Entropic regularization is a method for large-scale linear programming. Geometrically, one traces intersections of the feasible polytope with scaled toric varieties, starting at the Birch point. We compare this to log-barrier methods, with…
We sharpen the result that polarity and monopolarity are NP-complete problems by showing that they remain NP-complete if the input graph is restricted to be a $3$-colourable comparability graph. We start by presenting a construction…
We study the $L^p$ concentration problem for the Born--Jordan distribution in dimension $d>1$, thus extending the one-dimensional analysis in [Stra-Svela-Trapasso, J. Math. Pures Appl. (2026)]. We show that the existence of concentration…
We revisit the classification of polarization observables of the cosmic microwave background. There exists a unified approach to the $3 \times 3$ density matrix by which intensity, linear and circular polarization are treated on an equal…
We develop a comprehensive study on sharp potential type Riemannian Sobolev inequalities of order 2 by means of a local geometric Sobolev inequality of same kind and suitable De Giorgi-Nash-Moser estimates. In particular we discuss…
We study three restrictions on normalizers or centralizers in finite p-groups, namely: (i) |N_G(H) : H| <= p^k for every H non-normal in G, (ii) |N_G(<g>) : <g>| <= p^k for every <g> non-normal in G, and (iii) |C_G(g) : <g>| <= p^k for…
We show that the two-dimensional minimum-volume central section of the $n$-dimensional cross-polytope is attained by the regular $2n$-gon. We establish stability-type results for hyperplane sections of $\ell_p$-balls in all the cases where…
The paper studies a general norm minimization problem on a product of normed vector spaces. We establish dual necessary and sufficient optimality conditions and derive explicit formulas for the corresponding solution sets. These formulas…
Inspired by the bad scientist who keeps repeating an experiment 20 times to get a single outcome with $p < 0.05$, we consider matrices $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ whose rows are normalized in $\ell^2$ and for which $2^{-n}\sum_{x \in…
The orientation of a polarization vector on the Poincare sphere is defined by its position angle (PA) and ellipticity angle (EA). The radio emission from pulsars, magnetars, and fast radio bursts can be elliptically polarized, and…
In section 1 we consider a 3-tuple $S=(|S|,\preccurlyeq,E)$ where $|S|$ is a finite set, $\preccurlyeq$ a partial ordering on $|S|,$ and $E$ a set of unordered pairs of distinct members of $|S|,$ and study, as a function of $n\geq 0,$ the…
The paper deals with various centering problems for probability measures on finite dimensional vector spaces. We show that for every such measure there exists a vector $h$ satisfying $\mu*\delta(h)=S(\mu*\delta (h))$ for each symmetry $S$…
The $L^2 \to L^p$ adjoint Fourier restriction inequality on the $d$-dimensional hyperboloid $\mathbb{H}^d \subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ holds provided $6 \leq p < \infty$, if $d=1$, and $2(d+2)/d \leq p\leq 2(d+1)/(d-1)$, if $d\geq2$.…
