Majorization provides a rather powerful partial-order classification of probability distributions depending only on the spread of the statistics, and not on the actual numerical values of the variable being described. We propose to apply…
This paper is devoted to spherical measures and point configurations optimizing three-point energies. Our main goal is to extend the classic optimization problems based on pairs of distances between points to the context of three-point…
Energy minimizing harmonic maps between manifolds are known to be smooth outside a rectifiable set of codimension $3$, called the singular set. The possibility that this set is not a manifold, but has arbitrarily many small gaps in it, is…

We perform a stochastic-homogenization analysis for composite materials exhibiting a random microstructure. Under the assumptions of stationarity and ergodicity, we characterize the Gamma-limit of a micromagnetic energy functional defined…
We study approximation properties of the Fr\'{e}chet space of all continuously differentiable functions $\tau$ such that $\tau'(x)=o(1)$ and such that their Laplace transforms admit entire extensions to $\mathbb{C}$. As an application,…

We present a new method for the quantization of totally constrained systems including general relativity. The method consists in constructing discretized theories that have a well defined and controlled continuum limit. The discrete…
Constrained energy minimizations of a many-body Hamiltonian return energy landscapes e(b) where b=<B> representes the average value(s) of one (or several) collective operator(s), B, in an "optimized" trial state Phi_b, and e = <H> is the…
We investigate energetically optimal configurations of thin structures with a pre-strain. Depending on the strength of the pre-strain we consider a whole hierarchy of effective plate theories with a spontaneous curvature term, ranging from…
The ultra-violet behavior of Kaluza-Klein theories on a one dimensional orbifold is discussed. An extension of dimensional regularization that can be applied to a compact dimension is presented. Using this, the FI-tadpole is calculated in…
The uncertainty relation lies at the heart of quantum theory and behaves as a non-classical constraint on the indeterminacies of incompatible observables in a system. In the literature, many experiments have been devoted to the test of the…
In this note, we prove that for homogeneous polynomial optimization on the sphere, if the objective $f$ is generic in the input space, all feasible points satisfying the first order and second order necessary optimality conditions are local…
Interchange theorems between minimization and integration are useful in optimization, especially in optimal control and in stochastic optimization. In this article, we establish a generalized minimization interchange theorem, where…
We consider triplets of densities $(u_1,u_2,u_3)$ minimizing the Dirichlet energy \[\sum_{j=1}^3 \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u_j|^2\,dx \] over a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, subject to the partial segregation condition: \[…
Casimir energy is calculated for the 5D electromagnetism and 5D scalar theory in the {\it warped} geometry. It is compared with the flat case(arXiv:0801.3064). A new regularization, called {\it sphere lattice regularization}, is taken. In…
The zeta function regularization technique is used to study the Casimir effect for a scalar field of mass $m$ satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions on a spherical surface of radius $a$. In the case of large scalar mass, $ma\gg1$, simple…
In this paper we make some observations concerning m-metric spaces and point out some discrepancies in the proofs found in the literature. To remedy this, we propose a new topological construction and prove that it is in fact a…
We considered random discrete approximation of O'Hara energy. O'Hara energy is the energy defined for a knot, and O'Hara energy was introduced for defining the standard shape for each knot class (equivalence class by ambient isotopy) by…
We study properties of the energy minima obtained by quenching equilibrium configurations of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) mean field spin glass. We measure the probability distribution of the overlap among quenched configurations and…
