The formalism by Press and Schechter (PS) is often used to infer number densities of virialized objects of mass M (e.g. quasars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, etc.) from a count of initially overdense regions in a Gaussian density…
In this article, the concept of copulas is generalised to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We show one direction of Sklar's theorem and explain that the other direction fails in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We derive a necessary…
The concept of a Point Cloud has played an increasingly important role in many areas of Engineering, Science, and Mathematics. Examples are: LIDAR, 3D-Printing, Data Analysis, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Mathematical Visualization,…
This paper introduces a new definition of multiscale neighborhoods in 3D point clouds. This definition, based on spherical neighborhoods and proportional subsampling, allows the computation of features with a consistent geometrical meaning,…
Extending the classical notion of the spreading model, the $k$-spreading models of a Banach space are introduced, for every $k\in\mathbb{N}$. The definition, which is based on the $k$-sequences and plegma families, reveals a new class of…
The paper is devoted to the study of the Gromov-Hausdorff proper class, consisting of all metric spaces considered up to isometry. In this class, a generalized Gromov-Hausdorff pseudometric is introduced and the geometry of the resulting…
Suppose that each proper subset of a set $S$ of points in a vector space is contained in the union of planes of specified dimensions, but $S$ itself is not contained in any such union. How large can $|S|$ be? We prove a general upper bound…
Cloud computing is a recent paradigm based around the notion of delivery of resources via a service model over the Internet. Despite being a new paradigm of computation, cloud computing owes its origins to a number of previous paradigms.…
Let K be an algebraically bounded structure and T be its theory. If T is model complete, then the theory of K endowed with a derivation, denoted by $T^{\delta}$, has a model completion. Additionally, we prove that if the theory T is…
This thesis reviews the theory of bundle gerbes and then examines the higher dimensional notion of a bundle 2-gerbe. The notion of a bundle 2-gerbe connection and 2-curving are introduced and it is shown that there is a class in…
The Universe on large scales is well described by the Lambda-CDM cosmological model. There however remain some heavy clouds on our global understanding, especially on galaxy scales, which we review here. While some of these clouds might…
For $m=2$ and $m=3$ we prove that any connected, oriented, open manifold $M^m$ admits a simple branched covering map over $\mathbb{R}^m$. When $M$ has $k$ ends and $k$ is finite, the degree of the cover can be taken to be $mk$. Regardless…
We study the space $\nua{m}{d}$ of clouds in $\bbr^d$ (ordered sets of $m$ points modulo the action of the group of affine isometries). We show that $\nua{m}{d}$ is a smooth space, stratified over a certain hyperplane arrangement in…
A permutation is $k$-coverable if it can be partitioned into $k$ monotone subsequences. Barber conjectured that, for any given permutation, if every subsequence of length $k+2 \choose 2$ is $k$-coverable then the permutation itself is…
Clouds classification is a great challenge in meteorological research. The different types of clouds, currently known and present in our skies, can produce radioactive effects that impact on the variation of atmospheric conditions, with the…
We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.
Enveloping $C^*$-algebras for some finitely generated $*$-algebras are considered. It is shown that all of the considered algebras are identically defined by their dual spaces. The description in terms of matrix-functions is given. Keywords…
An old question of Erdos asks if there exists, for each number N, a finite set S of integers greater than N and residue classes r(n) mod n for n in S whose union is all the integers. We prove that if $\sum_{n\in S} 1/n$ is bounded for such…
Spherical coverings on the S2 sphere and their algebraic numbers are given for the putatively optimal global solutions for some n-congruent spherical caps with minimal radius to completely cover the S2 sphere. A few locally optimal…
The cloud-in-cloud problem is studied in the context of the extension to non-Gaussian density fields of the Press-Schechter approach for the calculation of the mass function. As an example of a non-Gaussian probability distribution…
