Hidden convexity is a powerful idea in optimization: under the right transformations, nonconvex problems that are seemingly intractable can be solved efficiently using convex optimization. We introduce the notion of a Lagrangian dual…

We study the comoving curvature perturbation $\mathcal{R}$ in the single-field inflation models whose potential can be approximated by a piecewise quadratic potential $V(\varphi)$ by using the $\delta N$ formalism. We find a general formula…

We introduce the notion of K\"ahler manifolds that are almost Einstein and we define a generalized mean curvature vector field along submanifolds in them. We prove that Lagrangian submanifolds remain Lagrangian, when deformed in direction…

In universal algebra, it is well known that varieties admitting a majority term admit several Mal'tsev-type characterizations. The main aim of this paper is to establish categorical counterparts of some of these characterizations for…

Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA), the canonical model for non-equilibrium fractal growth, emerges from the simple rule of irreversible attachment by random walkers. Despite four decades of study, a unified computational framework…

We prove new variants of the Lambert series factorization theorems studied by Merca and Schmidt (2017) which correspond to a more general class of Lambert series expansions of the form $L_a(\alpha, \beta, q) := \sum_{n \geq 1} a_n q^{\alpha…

We study a statistical manifold $(\mathcal{N}, g^F, \nabla^{A}, \nabla^{A*})$ of multivariate normal distributions, where $g^F$ is the Fisher metric and $\nabla^{A}$ is the Amari-Chentsov connection and $\nabla^{A*}$ is its conjugate…

In this paper, we firstly construct an $L_\infty[1]$-algebra via the method of higher derived brackets, whose Maurer-Cartan elements correspond to relative $\Omega$-family Rota-Baxter algebras structures of weight $\lambda$. For a relative…
