We consider the extremal pointset configuration problem of maximizing a kernel-based energy subject to the geometric constraints that the points are contained in a fixed set, the pairwise distances are bounded below, and that every closed…

In the area of forbidden subposet problems we look for the largest possible size $La(n,P)$ of a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ that does not contain a forbidden inclusion pattern described by $P$. The main conjecture of the area…

Jammed disordered packings of non-spherical particles show significant variation in the packing density as a function of particle shape for a given packing protocol. Rotationally symmetric elongated shapes such as ellipsoids,…

Let $P_1,\dots, P_n$ and $Q_1,\dots, Q_n$ be convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $P_i\subset Q_i$. It is well-known that the mixed volume has the monotonicity property: $V(P_1,\dots,P_n)\leq V(Q_1,\dots,Q_n)$. We give two criteria…

We characterize the existence of certain geometric configurations in the fractal percolation limit set $A$ in terms of the almost sure dimension of $A$. Some examples of the configurations we study are: homothetic copies of finite sets,…

We study the problem of discrete geometric packing. Here, given weighted regions (say in the plane) and points (with capacities), one has to pick a maximum weight subset of the regions such that no point is covered more than its capacity.…

Assemblies of anisotropic particles commonly appear in studies of active many-body systems. However, in two dimensions, the geometric ramifications of the finite density of such objects are not entirely understood. To fully characterize…

In the class of nonlinear one-parameter real maps we study those with bifurcation that exhibits period doubling cascade. The fixed points of such a map form a finite discrete real set with dimension (2^n)m, where m is the (odd) number of…

We prove topological regularity results for isoperimetric sets in PI spaces having a suitable deformation property, which prescribes a control on the increment of the perimeter of sets under perturbations with balls. More precisely, we…

We study density thresholds that force a measurable set $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ to contain all sufficiently large similar copies of every $n$-point configuration. We prove a lower bound of the form $1-O((\log n)/n)$, which matches the…

Unitary transformations and density matrices are central objects in quantum physics and various tasks require to introduce them in a parameterized form. In the present article we present a parameterization of the unitary group…

We investigate topological properties of density matrices motivated by the question to what extent phenomena like topological insulators and superconductors can be generalized to mixed states in the framework of open quantum systems. The…

Let F be a family of subsets of {1,2,...,n}. The width-degree of an element x in at least one member of F is the width of the family {U in F | x in U}. If F has maximum width-degree at most k, then F is locally k-wide. Bounds on the size of…

We study the single particle density of states of a one-dimensional speckle potential, which is correlated and non-Gaussian. We consider both the repulsive and the attractive cases. The system is controlled by a single dimensionless…

Given a control system $\dot{p} = X_0(p) + \sum_i u_i (t)X_i(p)$ on a compact manifold M we study conditions for the foliation defined by the accessible sets be dense in M . To do this we relate the control system to a stochastic…

We continue our investigation of the configuration space of general relativity begun in I (gr-qc/9411009). Here we examine the Hamiltonian constraint when the spatial geometry is momentarily static (MS). We show that MS configurations…

We show there is a countable dense set of energies at which the integrated density of states of the 1D discrete Anderson-Bernoulli model can be given explicitly and does not depend on the disorder parameter, provided the latter is above an…

We consider the ensemble of $N\times N$ ($N\gg 1$) symmetric random matrices with the bimodal independent distribution of matrix elements: each element could be either "1" with the probability $p$, or "0" otherwise. We pay attention to the…

Let $p_1,...,p_L\in Z[x_1,...,x_d]$ be non-constant polynomials with zero constant term. The ergodic theoretical proofs of the polynomial and the IP-polynomial Szemeredi theorems as well as some of the ergodic-theoretical and combinatorial…

Using the Fundamental-Measure Density Functional Theory, we have studied theoretically the phase behavior of extremely confined mixtures of parallel hard squares in slit geometry. The pore width is chosen such that configurations consisting…
