Motivated by the problem of testing for the existence of a signal of known parametric structure and unknown ``location'' (as explained below) against a noisy background, we obtain for the maximum of a centered, smooth random field an…

An axis-parallel $d$--dimensional box is a Cartesian product $R_1 \times R_2 \times ... \times R_d$ where $R_i$ (for $1 \le i \le d$) is a closed interval of the form $[a_i, b_i]$ on the real line. For a graph $G$, its \emph{boxicity}…

We study level-set percolation for Gaussian free fields on metric graphs. In two dimensions, we give an upper bound on the chemical distance between the two boundaries of a macroscopic annulus. Our bound holds with high probability…

Let $V$ denote an $r$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-vector space. For an $m$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspace $U$ of $V$ assume that $\dim_q \left(\langle {\bf v}\rangle_{\mathbb{F}_{q^n}} \cap U\right) \geq 2$ for each non zero vector…

We prove a slightly sharper version of a result of Rider and Vir\'ag who proved that after centering, the logarithm of the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial of the Ginibre ensemble converges in law to the Gaussian Free Field…

Gauge fields in exotic representations of the Lorentz group in D dimensions - i.e. ones which are tensors of mixed symmetry corresponding to Young tableaux with arbitrary numbers of rows and columns - naturally arise through massive string…

We discuss gravity-like formulations of massive Abelian and non-Abelian gauge field theories in four space-time dimensions with particular emphasis on the issue of gauge invariance. Alternative descriptions in terms of antisymmetric tensor…

In this paper, we investigate the size function $h^0$ for number fields. This size function is analogous to the dimension of the Riemann-Roch spaces of divisors on an algebraic curve. Van der Geer and Schoof conjectured that $h^0$ attains…

Let $\xi : \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ be zero mean, mean-square continuous, stationary, Gaussian random field with covariance function $r(x) = \mathbb{E}[\xi(0)\xi(x)]$ and let $G : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $G$…

We study totally positive, additively indecomposable integers in a real quadratic field $\mathbb Q(\sqrt D)$. We estimate the size of the norm of an indecomposable integer by expressing it as a power series in $u_i^{-1}$, where $\sqrt D$…

In this work, we investigate the extremal behaviour of left-stationary symmetric $\alpha$-stable (S$\alpha$S) random fields indexed by finitely generated free groups. We begin by studying the rate of growth of a sequence of partial maxima…

We explore a comprehensive analysis of the formalism governing the gravitational field equations in degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor theories. The propagation of these theories in the vacuum has a maximum of three degrees of freedom…

This article is concerned with the study of the fractal dimension of thick points for a 4-dimensional Gaussian Free Field. We adopt the definition of Gaussian Free Field on $\R^4$ introduced by Chen and Jakobson (2012) viewed as an abstract…

The problem of solving perturbatively the equations describing the evolution of self-gravitating collisionless matter in an expanding universe considerably simplifies when directly formulated in terms of the gravitational and velocity…

This paper considers the problem of finding maximum volume (axis-aligned) inscribed boxes in a compact convex set, defined by a finite number of convex inequalities, and presents optimization and geometric approaches for solving them.…

Let $\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_K$ be the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic number field $K$. In this paper we give a new description of the maximal discrete extension of the group $SL_2(\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_K)$ inside…

Stationary and isotropic iteration stable random tessellations are considered, which can be constructed by a random process of cell division. The collection of maximal polytopes at a fixed time $t$ within a convex window $W\subset{\Bbb…

We study the Frobenius problem: given relatively prime positive integers a_1,...,a_d, find the largest value of t (the Frobenius number g(a_1,...,a_d)) such that m_1 a_1 + ... m_d a_d = t has no solution in nonnegative integers m_1,...,m_d.…

It is shown that a symmetric massless bosonic higher-spin field can be described by a traceless tensor field with reduced (transverse) gauge invariance. The Hamiltonian analysis of the transverse gauge invariant higher-spin models is used…
