Let A be a square matrix with real entries. The spread of A is defined as the maximum of the distances among the eigenvalues of A. Let $S_m[a,b]$ denote the set of all $m\times m$ symmetric matrices with entries in the real interval $[a,b]$…

We discover a new example of a generic rank 2-distribution on a 5-manifold with a 6-dimensional transitive symmetry algebra, which is not present in Cartan's classical five variables paper. It corresponds to the Monge equation z' = y +…

Manifold data analysis is challenging due to the lack of parametric distributions on manifolds. To address this, we introduce a series of Riemannian radial distributions on Riemannian symmetric spaces. By utilizing the symmetry, we show…

We study the correspondence between equivalence classes of pairs consisting of real semisimple Lie algebras and their Cartan subalgebras and involutions of the corresponding root system. This can be graphically described by introducing…

The Hilbert spaces of supersymmetric systems admit symmetries which are often related to the topology and geometry of the (target) field-space. Here, we study certain (2,2)-supersymmetric systems in 2-dimensional spacetime which are closely…

This paper considers an extension of the multivariate symmetric Laplace distribution to matrix variate case. The symmetric Laplace distribution is a scale mixture of normal distribution. The maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) of the…

We undertake a combinatorial study of the piecewise linear map g : R^{2m+2n} --> R^{mn} which assigns to the four vectors a, A in R^m and b, B in R^n the m by n matrix given by g_{ij} = min (a_i + b_j, A_i+B_j). This map arises naturally in…

The dispersion of a point set in the unit square is defined to be the area of the largest empty axis-parallel box. In this paper we are interested in the dispersion of lattices in the plane, that is, the supremum of the area of the empty…

Let $G_\mathbb R$ be a real reductive group and let $X$ be the corresponding complex symmetric variety under the Cartan bijection. We construct a stratified homeomorphism between the based polynomial arc group of $G_\mathbb R$ and the based…

The dispersion relations and S-matrix of the one-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling are considered in a certain scaling limit. (In the process we derive a useful small-coupling expansion of the exact lattice dispersion relations.)…

We study a geometry associated with rank 3 distributions in dimension 8, whose symbol algebra is constant and has a simple Lie algebra sp(3,R) as Tanaka prolongation. We restrict our considerations to only those distributions that are…

We investigate the level spacing distribution for three ensembles of real symmetric matrices having additional structural constraint to reduce the number of independent entries to only $ (n+1)/2 $ in contrast to the $ n(n+1)/2 $ for a real…

We show that for n>2 the following equivalence problems are essentially the same: the equivalence problem for Lagrangians of order n with one dependent and one independent variable considered up to a contact transformation, a multiplication…

Finding a maximum cut is a fundamental task in many computational settings. Surprisingly, it has been insufficiently studied in the classic distributed settings, where vertices communicate by synchronously sending messages to their…

We introduce the notion of a lowering-raising (or LR) triple of linear transformations on a nonzero finite-dimensional vector space. We show how to normalize an LR triple, and classify up to isomorphism the normalized LR triples. We…

Discriminating between distributions is an important problem in a number of scientific fields. This motivated the introduction of Linear Optimal Transportation (LOT), which embeds the space of distributions into an $L^2$-space. The…

Important subalgebras of a Lie algebra of an algebraic group are its toral subalgebras, or equivalently (over fields of characteristic 0) its Cartan subalgebras. Of great importance among these are ones that are split: their action on the…

We consider real symmetric and complex Hermitian random matrices with the additional symmetry $h_{xy}=h_{N-x,N-y}$. The matrix elements are independent (up to the fourfold symmetry) and not necessarily identically distributed. This ensemble…

We consider random stochastic matrices $M$ with elements given by $M_{ij}=|U_{ij}|^2$, with $U$ being uniformly distributed on one of the classical compact Lie groups or associated symmetric spaces. We observe numerically that, for large…

This paper discusses the locality and analyticity of the crossing symmetric dispersion relation (CSDR). Imposing locality constraints on the CSDR gives rise to a local and fully crossing symmetric expansion of scattering amplitudes, dubbed…
