We introduce a "deformation" of plumbing. We also define a structure of data used in a calculation by computer aid of the crosscap numbers of alternating knots.
A brief introduction is given to the topic of Smith normal forms of incidence matrices. A general discussion of techniques is illustrated by some classical examples. Some recent advances are described and the limits of our current…
We study the general $J$-flows. We use Moser iteration to obtain the uniform estimate.
The method of higher covariant derivative regularization of gauge theories is reviewed. The objections raised in the literature last years are discussed and the consistency of the method is proven. New approach to regularization of…
We study the well-known methods of alternating and simultaneous projections when applied to two nonorthogonal linear subspaces of a real Euclidean space. Assuming that both of the methods have a common starting point chosen from either one…
We describe briefly in this note a procedure for consistently estimating the marginal likelihood of a statistical model through a sample from the posterior distribution of the model parameters.
Estimating mutual information (MI) is a fundamental yet challenging task in data science and machine learning. This work proposes a new estimator for mutual information. Our main discovery is that a preliminary estimate of the data…
We present a new general algorithm for calculating arbitrary jet cross sections in arbitrary scattering processes to next-to-leading accuracy in perturbative QCD. The algorithm is based on the subtraction method. The key ingredients are new…
For processes involving structure functions and/or fragmentation functions, arguments that there is a part that dominates the NLO corrections are briefly reviewed. The arguments are tested against more recent NLO and in particular NNLO…
Quantifying the amount of polarization is crucial for understanding and studying political polarization in political and social systems. Several methods are used commonly to measure polarization in social networks by purely inspecting their…
Faced with massive data, subsampling is a commonly used technique to improve computational efficiency, and using nonuniform subsampling probabilities is an effective approach to improve estimation efficiency. For computational efficiency,…

I illustrate a general formalism based upon the subtraction method for the calculation of next-to-leading order QCD cross sections for any number of jets in any type of hard collisions. I discuss the implementation of this formalism in a…
The selection of the best classification algorithm for a given dataset is a very widespread problem. It is also a complex one, in the sense it requires to make several important methodological choices. Among them, in this work we focus on…
When averages of different experimental determinations of the same quantity are computed, each with statistical and systematic error components, then frequently the statistical and systematic components of the combined error are quoted…
We provide a general method for computing rational Chow rings of moduli of smooth complete intersections. We specialize this result in different ways: to compute the integral Picard group of the associated stack ; to obtain an explicit…
When estimating causal effects using observational data, it is desirable to replicate a randomized experiment as closely as possible by obtaining treated and control groups with similar covariate distributions. This goal can often be…
The aim of this paper is to establish various factorization results and then to derive estimates for linear functionals through the use of a generalized Taylor theorem. Additionally, several error bounds are established including…
We present a new and exploratory method to estimate the distance of microquasars by suggesting an empirical correlation between the bluemost point of the bisector of the cross-correlation function and the absolute magnitude.
This article considers the sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) approximation of ratios of normalizing constants associated to posterior distributions which in principle rely on continuum models. Therefore, the Monte Carlo estimation error and the…
