The form factors parameterizing the B_c semileptonic matrix elements can be related to a few invariant functions if the decoupling of the spin of the heavy quarks in B_c and in the mesons produced in the semileptonic decays is exploited. We…
We introduce a broad class of models called semiparametric spatial point process for making inference between spatial point patterns and spatial covariates. These models feature an intensity function with both parametric and nonparametric…
I describe recent work with V. Cirigliano and E. Golowich on the effect of dimension eight operators on weak nonleptonic amplitudes. The basic message is that there is an inconsistency in the way that many calculations are traditionally…
We explain how the 't Hooft expansion of correlators of half-BPS operators can be resummed in a large-charge limit in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The full correlator in the limit is given by a non-trivial function of two variables: One…
For a class of one-dimensional determinantal point processes including those induced by orthogonal projections with integrable kernels satisfying a growth condition, it is proved that their conditional measures, with respect to the…
The octagon abstract domain is a widely used numeric abstract domain expressing relational information between variables whilst being both computationally efficient and simple to implement. Each element of the domain is a system of…
Several determinants with gamma functions as elements are evaluated. This kind of determinants are encountered in the computation of the probability density of the determinant of random matrices. The s-shifted factorial is defined as a…
The finite volume Laplacian can be defined in all dimensions and is a natural way to approximate the operator on a simplicial mesh. In the most general setting, its definition with orthogonal duals may require that not all volumes are…
The beacon model is a recent paradigm for guiding the trajectory of messages or small robotic agents in complex environments. A beacon is a fixed point with an attraction pull that can move points within a given polygon. Points move…
We study three-point correlation functions of local operators in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM at weak coupling using integrability. We consider correlation functions involving two scalar BPS operators and an operator with spin, in the so…
We calculate the transition form factors that occur in heavy $\Lambda$-type baryon semileptonic decays as e.g. in $\Lambda_{b} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} + l^{-} + \bar{\nu}_{l} $. We use Bauer-Stech-Wirbel type infinite momentum frame wave…
An expression in the form of an easily computed integral is given for the determinant of the scalar GJMS operator on an odd--dimensional sphere. Manipulation yields a sum formula for the logdet in terms of the logdets of the ordinary…
We study the zeta-regularized determinant of a non self-adjoint elliptic operator on a closed odd-dimensional manifold. We show that, if the spectrum of the operator is symmetric with respect to the imaginary axis, then the determinant is…
We obtain the planar correlation function of four half-BPS operators of arbitrary weights, up to three loops. Our method exploits only elementary properties of the integrand of the planar correlator, such as its symmetries and singularity…
We investigate stress-energy tensors constructed from the delta function on a worldline. We concentrate on quadrupoles as they make an excellent model for the dominant source of gravitational waves and have significant novel features.…
We analyse the one-loop dilatation operator with the help of the Brauer algebra. We find some BPS operators in N=4 SYM, which are labelled by irreducible representations of the Brauer algebra. Some of them are quarter BPS operators. The…
Determinants of structured matrices play a fundamental role in both pure and applied mathematics, with wide-ranging applications in linear algebra, combinatorics, coding theory, and numerical analysis. In this work, the enumeration of…
Form factors are important ingredients to investigate the principle of maximal transcendentality (PMT) and to extract anomalous dimensions of local gauge invariant operators. In this article, we compute several two- and three-point FFs to…
Weighted singular value decomposition (WSVD) of a quaternion matrix and with its help determinantal representations of the quaternion weighted Moore-Penrose inverse have been derived recently by the author. In this paper, using these…
We view the determinant and permanent as functions on directed weighted graphs and introduce their analogues for the undirected graphs. We prove that the task of computing the undirected determinants as well as permanents for planar graphs,…
