We develop the concept of a unitary t-design as a means of expressing operationally useful subsets of the stochastic properties of the uniform (Haar) measure on the unitary group U(2^n) on n qubits. In particular, sets of unitaries forming…
A combinatorial characterization of resolvable Steiner 2-$(v,k,1)$ designs embeddable as maximal arcs in a projective plane of order $(v-k)/(k-1)$ is proved, and a generalization of a conjecture by Andries Brouwer \cite{Br} is formulated.
We give upper bounds on the number of exceptional radial projections of arbitrary subsets of vector spaces over finite fields. Our bounds do not depend on the dimension of the ambient space. Let $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional…
We make a first geometric study of three varieties in $\mathbb{C}^m \otimes \mathbb{C}^m \otimes \mathbb{C}^m$ (for each $m$), including the Zariski closure of the set of tight tensors, the tensors with continuous regular symmetry. Our…
We propose a fast and scalable algorithm to project a given density on a set of structured measures defined over a compact 2D domain. The measures can be discrete or supported on curves for instance. The proposed principle and algorithm are…
We endow the set of complements of a fixed subspace of a projective space with the structure of an affine space, and show that certain lines of such an affine space are affine reguli or cones over affine reguli. Moreover, we apply our…
Consider a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in $\mathbb R^d$. The hyperplanes dissect $\mathbb R^d$ into finitely many polyhedral chambers. For a point $x\in \mathbb R^d$ and a chamber $P$ the metric projection of $x$ onto $P$ is the…
In this article, we investigate collections of `well-spread-out' projective (and linear) subspaces. Projective $k$-subspaces in $\mathsf{PG}(d,\mathbb{F})$ are in `higgledy-piggledy arrangement' if they meet each projective subspace of…
We compute the integral homology and cohomology groups of configuration spaces of two distinct points on a given real projective space. The explicit answer is related to the (known multiplicative structure in the) integral cohomology---with…
We study random 2-dimensional complexes in the Linial - Meshulam model and find torsion in their fundamental groups at various regimes. We find a simple algorithmically testable criterion for a subcomplex of a random 2-complex to be…
Every second flat Reidemeister move of knot projections can be decomposed into two types thorough an inverse or direct self-tangency modification, respectively called strong or weak, when orientations of the knot projections are arbitrarily…
We propose a new approach to the Fourier restriction conjectures. It is based on a discretization of the Fourier extension operators in terms of quadratically modulated wave packets. Using this new point of view, and by combining natural…
We establish a version of the Furstenberg-Katznelson multi-dimensional Szemer\'edi in the primes ${\mathcal P} := \{2,3,5,\ldots\}$, which roughly speaking asserts that any dense subset of ${\mathcal P}^d$ contains constellations of any…
This paper addresses enforcing non-vanishing constraints for solutions to a second order elliptic partial differential equation by appropriate choices of boundary conditions. We show that, in dimension $d\geq2$, under suitable regularity…
We resolve a longstanding open problem by reformulating the Grassmannian fusion frames to the case of mixed dimensions and show that this satisfies the proper properties for the problem. In order to compare elements of mixed dimension, we…
Motivated by the idea of turbomachinery active subspace performance maps, this paper studies dimension reduction in turbomachinery 3D CFD simulations. First, we show that these subspaces exist across different blades---under the same…
Finite projective (lattice) geometries defined over rings instead of fields have recently been recognized to be of great importance for quantum information theory. We believe that there is much more potential hidden in these geometries to…
Let X be a tight t-design of dimension n for one of the open cases t=5 or t=7. An investigation of the lattice generated by X using arithmetic theory of quadratic forms allows to exclude infinitely many values for n.
We establish several optimal estimates for exceptional parameters in the projection of fractal measures: (1) For a parametric family of self-similar measures satisfying a transversality condition, the set of parameters leading to a…
By using a projective connection over the space of two-dimensional affine connections, we are able to show that the metric interaction of Polyakov 2D gravity with a coadjoint element arises naturally through the projective Ricci tensor.…
