We demonstrate a new near-analytical path to the threshold-size of random-lasing for the case of a uniform and isotropic-scattering sphere. We assess a geometric-distribution-probability (GDP) weighted integration of the diffusion-equation…

Let $f \in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and suppose we are interested in computing its average at a fixed scale. This is easy: we pick the density $u_{}$ of a probability distribution with mean 0 and some moment at the desired scale and compute the…

The effects of viscoelasticity have been shown to manifest themselves via symmetry breaking. In this investigation, we show a novel phenomenon that arises from this idea. We observe that when a dense sphere is rotated near a wall (the…

The Fr\'echet mean (or barycenter) generalizes the expectation of a random variable to metric spaces by minimizing the expected squared distance to the random variable. Similarly, the median can be generalized by its property of minimizing…

The Fr\'echet mean is an important statistical summary and measure of centrality of data; it has been defined and studied for persistent homology captured by persistence diagrams. However, the complicated geometry of the space of…

We have found the Quasi Normal Mode (QNM) frequencies of a class of static spherically symmetric spacetimes having a {\it {smeared}} matter distribution, parameterized by $\Theta$ - an inherent length scale. Here our main focus is on the…

The Sphere Covering Inequality was introduced in \cite{GM} (\emph{Invent. Math.}, 2018) as a sharp geometric inequality that provides a lower bound for the total area of two distinct surfaces of Gaussian curvature 1. These surfaces are…

Glasses have a large excess of low-frequency vibrational modes in comparison with crystalline solids. We show that such a feature is a necessary consequence of the geometry generic to weakly connected solids. In particular, we analyze the…

In this article, we study the consistency of the template estimation with the Fr\'echet mean in quotient spaces. The Fr\'echet mean in quotient spaces is often used when the observations are deformed or transformed by a group action. We…

This paper studies rescaled images, under $\exp^{-1}_{\mu}$, of the sample Fr\'{e}chet means of i.i.d. random variables $\{X_k\vert k\geq 1\}$ with Fr\'{e}chet mean $\mu$ on a Riemannian manifold. We show that, with appropriate scaling,…

In statistics on manifolds, the notion of the mean of a probability distribution becomes more involved than in a linear space. Several location statistics have been proposed, which reduce to the ordinary mean in Euclidean space. A…
