We prove that a metric space does not coarsely embed into a Hilbert space if and only if it satisfies a sequence of Poincar\'e inequalities, which can be formulated in terms of (generalized) expanders. We also give quantitative statements,…

We analyze alternating minimization for column space recovery of a partially observed, approximately low rank matrix with a growing number of columns and a fixed budget of observations per column. In this work, we prove that if the budget…

Committee selection with diversity or distributional constraints is a ubiquitous problem. However, many of the formal approaches proposed so far have certain drawbacks including (1) computationally intractability in general, and (2)…

In a purely multi-variable setting (i.e., the issues discussed in this note are not interesting in the single variable operator theory setting), we show that the coincidence of two operator valued Schur class multipliers of a certain kind…

Random sets are used to get a continuous partition of the cardinality of the union of many overlapping sets. The formalism uses M\"obius transforms and adapts Shapley's methodology in cooperative game theory, into the context of set theory.…

We present a new model that describes the process of electing a group of representatives (e.g., a parliament) for a group of voters. In this model, called the voting committee model, the elected group of representatives runs a number of…

In the past, empirical evidence has been presented that Hilbert series of symplectic quotients of unitary representations obey a certain universal system of infinitely many constraints. Formal series with this property have been called…

We prove an extension of the classical Real Representation Theorem (going back to Krivine, Stone, Kadison, Dubois and Becker and often called Kadison-Dubois Theorem). It is a criterion for membership in subsemirings (sometimes called…

We investigate how robust the results of committee elections are to small changes in the input preference orders, depending on the voting rules used. We find that for typical rules the effect of making a single swap of adjacent candidates…

Network theory provides a powerful tool for the representation and analysis of complex systems of interacting agents. Here we investigate the United States House of Representatives network of committees and subcommittees, with committees…

We consider multiwinner elections in Euclidean space using the minimax Chamberlin-Courant rule. In this setting, voters and candidates are embedded in a $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, and the goal is to choose a committee of $k$…

The Chamberlin-Courant and Monroe rules are fundamental and well-studied rules in the literature of multi-winner elections. The problem of determining if there exists a committee of size k that has a Chamberlin-Courant (respectively,…

This note examines the implications of randomly selecting vectors from an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space on linear independence, assuming that for all $k$, the first $k$ vectors follow an absolutely continuous law with respect to a…

A number has the "collective" property if the number is the greatest lower bound of a bounded, strictly decreasing sequence on the real line. We prove that numbers with the collective property constitute an empty set.

Most research into similarity search in metric spaces relies upon the triangle inequality property. This property allows the space to be arranged according to relative distances to avoid searching some subspaces. We show that many common…

In this paper we consider the existence of Hamilton cycles and perfect matchings in a random graph model proposed by Krioukov et al.~in 2010. In this model, nodes are chosen randomly inside a disk in the hyperbolic plane and two nodes are…

Building upon Dyson's fundamental 1962 article known in random-matrix theory as 'the threefold way', we classify disordered fermion systems with quadratic Hamiltonians by their unitary and antiunitary symmetries. Important examples are…

Approval-Based Committee (ABC) rules are an important tool for choosing a fair set of candidates when given the preferences of a collection of voters. Though finding a winning committee for many ABC rules is NP-hard, natural variations for…

Let $(\mathcal{H}_k, \mathcal{H}_{\ell})$ be a pair of Hilbert function spaces with kernels $k, \ell$. In a 2005 paper, Shimorin showed that a certain factorization condition on $(k, \ell)$ yields a commutant lifting theorem for multipliers…

We introduce a natural class of models of random chain complexes of real vector spaces that some classical ensembles of random matrices, the length $1$ case. We are interested here in the homological properties of these random complexes.…
