We consider an independently identically distributed random dynamical system generated by finitely many, non-uniformly expanding Markov interval maps with a finite number of branches. Assuming a topologically mixing condition and the…
A random spherical polytope $P_n$ in a spherically convex set $K \subset S^d$ as considered here is the spherical convex hull of $n$ independent, uniformly distributed random points in $K$. The behaviour of $P_n$ for a spherically convex…
Let $(M^{n+1},g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $3\le n+1\le 5$. We show that, if the metric $g$ is generic or if the metric $g$ has positive Ricci curvature, then $M$ contains infinitely many geometrically distinct constant…
This paper concerns the asymptotic behavior of a random variable $W_\lambda$ resulting from the summation of the functionals of a Gibbsian spatial point process over windows $Q_\lambda \uparrow R^d$. We establish conditions ensuring that…
Our goal is to convince the readers that the theory of complex normal surface singularities can be a powerful tool in the study of numerical semigroups, and, in the same time, a very rich source of interesting affine and numerical…
Motivated by the computation of scattering amplitudes at strong coupling, we consider minimal area surfaces in AdS_5 which end on a null polygonal contour at the boundary. We map the classical problem of finding the surface into an SU(4)…
We investigate minimal-perimeter configurations of two finite sets of points on the square lattice. This corresponds to a lattice version of the classical double-bubble problem. We give a detailed description of the fine geometry of…
Uncertainty in physical parameters can make the solution of forward or inverse light scattering problems in astrophysical, biological, and atmospheric sensing applications, cost prohibitive for real-time applications. For example, given a…
In this work we provide a way to introduce a probability measure on the space of minimal fillings of finite additive metric spaces as well as an algorithm for its computation. The values of probability, got from the analytical solution,…
We establish a min-max estimate on the volume width of a closed Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature. More precisely, we show that every closed Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature admits a PL Morse function…
This paper investigates the possible scattering and non-scattering behavior of an anisotropic and inhomogeneous Lipschitz medium at a fixed wave number and with a single incident field. We connect the anisotropic non-scattering problem to a…
A simple model for viscous liquid dynamics is introduced. Consider the surface of the union of hyper-spheres centered at random positions inside a hypercube with periodic boundary conditions. It is argued and demonstrated by numerical…
We determine the asymptotic growth rate of the diameter of the random hyperbolic surfaces constructed by Brooks and Makover. This model consists of a uniform gluing of $2n$ hyperbolic ideal triangles along their sides followed by a…
We classify the possible shapes of minimal free resolutions over a regular local ring. This illustrates the existence of free resolutions whose Betti numbers behave in surprisingly pathological ways. We also give an asymptotic…
We study the combinatorial geometry of a random closed multicurve on a surface of large genus and of a random square-tiled surface of large genus. We prove that primitive components of a random multicurve represent linearly independent…
We prove a general theorem providing smoothed analysis estimates for conic condition numbers of problems of numerical analysis. Our probability estimates depend only on geometric invariants of the corresponding sets of ill-posed inputs.…
We introduce a spatial averaging scheme and use it to study the evolution of spatial averages in large-scale simulations of cosmological structure formation performed with the Einstein Toolkit. The averages are performed on the spatial…
The generalization of Archimedes strategy to obtain the area of a parabolic segment leads to combinatorial formulas involving minimal covers of sets. These, in turn, are conjecturally related to $q$-binomial coefficients.
We study the problem of estimating the average of a Lipschitz continuous function $f$ defined over a metric space, by querying $f$ at only a single point. More specifically, we explore the role of randomness in drawing this sample. Our goal…
Einstein's field equations for spatially self-similar spherically symmetric perfect-fluid models are investigated. The field equations are rewritten as a first-order system of autonomous differential equations. Dimensionless variables are…
