Given a rational function of degree at least two defined over a number field k, we study the cardinality of the set of rational iterated preimages. We prove bounds for the cardinality of this set as the rational function varies in certain…
We use the Kac-Rice formula to compute the Mehta integral describing the normalization constant arising in the statistics of the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble.
We study some aspects of the geometric side of the Jacquet-Rallis relative trace formula. Globally, we compute each geometric term of the Jacquet-Rallis relative trace formula on the general linear group for regular supported test…
As a step towards a more accurate modelling of redshift-space distortions in galaxy surveys, we develop a general description of the probability distribution function of galaxy pairwise velocities within the framework of the so-called…
This is primarily an expository note showing that earlier work of Lai on CR geometry provides a clean interpretation, in terms of a Gauss map, for an adjunction formula for embedded surfaces in an almost complex four manifold. We will see…
The idea of a finite collection of closed sets having "strongly regular intersection" at a given point is crucial in variational analysis. We show that this central theoretical tool also has striking algorithmic consequences. Specifically,…
We introduce a new technique to the study and identification of submanifolds of simply-connected symmetric spaces of compact type based upon an approach computing $k$-positive Ricci curvature of the ambient manifolds and using this…
The $K$-hull of a compact set $A\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, where $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a fixed compact convex body, is the intersection of all translates of $K$ that contain $A$. A set is called $K$-strongly convex if it coincides with its…
We generalize the Benjamini-Pemantle-Peres estimate relating hitting probability and Martin capacity to the setting of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below. As applications we obtain: (1) a sharp estimate for the probability that…
We present a new preliminary measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in pp-bar collisions based on a integrated luminosity of about 0.8 fb-1. The data were acquired using the D0 detector between 2002 and 2005. Jets are reconstructed…
Given a smooth subscheme of a projective space over a finite field, we compute the probability that its intersection with a fixed number of hypersurface sections of large degree is smooth of the expected dimension. This generalizes the case…
We prove a generalization of the hyperplane inequality for intersection bodies, where volume is replaced by an arbitrary measure $\mu$ with even continuous density and sections are of arbitrary dimension $n-k,\ 1\le k <n.$ If $K$ is a…
Given a planar curve, imagine rolling a sphere along that curve without slipping or twisting, and by this means tracing out a curve on the sphere. It is well known that such a rolling operation induces a local isometry between the sphere…
We propose {graphical sure screening}, or GRASS, a very simple and computationally-efficient screening procedure for recovering the structure of a Gaussian graphical model in the high-dimensional setting. The GRASS estimate of the…
We prove a transversality "lifting property" for compactified configuration spaces as an application of the multijet transversality theorem: the submanifold of configurations of points on an arbitrary submanifold of Euclidean space may be…
We study global distribution of zeros for a wide range of ensembles of random polynomials. Two main directions are related to almost sure limits of the zero counting measures, and to quantitative results on the expected number of zeros in…
We study subvarieties of very general complete intersections $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ of multidegree $(d_1,\dots,d_c)$, when $d:= d_1+\dots +d_c$ is sufficiently large. In a seminal paper Ein proved that if $d\geq 2n-c-k+2$, any…
For polyhedral convex cones in ${\mathbb R}^d$, we give a proof for the conic kinematic formula for conic curvature measures, which avoids the use of characterization theorems. For the random cones defined as typical cones of an isotropic…
This paper studies projections of uniform random elements of (co)adjoint orbits of compact Lie groups. Such projections generalize several widely studied ensembles in random matrix theory, including the randomized Horn's problem, the…
Let $\mathcal{W}^{n}$ be the class of $C^{\infty }$ complete simply connected $n-$dimensional manifolds without conjugate points. The hyperbolic space as well as Euclidean space are good examples of such manifolds. Let $% W\in…
