This paper investigates asymptotic distribution of complex zeros of random polynomials $P_n(z):=\sum_{k=0}^{n}b(k)\xi_k z^k$, as $n\to\infty$, where $b$ is a regularly varying function at infinity with index $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$ and…
We say that a Lie (super)algebra is ''symmetric'' if with every root (with respect to the maximal torus) it has the opposite root of the same multiplicity. Over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristics (up to 7 or 11, enough…
We compare and contrast various notions of the "critical locus" of a complex analytic function on a singular space. After choosing a topological variant as our primary notion of the critical locus, we justify our choice by generalizing L\^e…
After an introduction to some aspects of bidifferential calculus on associative algebras, we focus on the notion of a "symmetry" of a generalized zero curvature equation and derive Backlund and (forward, backward and binary) Darboux…
We prove that the zero locus of an admissible normal function over an algebraic parameter space S is algebraic in the case where S is a curve.
We show that the variation of the topology at infinity of a two-variable polynomial function is localisable at a finite number of "atypical points" at infinity. We construct an effective algorithm with low complexity in order to detect…
The M{\"o}bius transform is a crucial transformation into the Boolean world; it allows to change the Boolean representation between the True Table and Algebraic Normal Form. In this work, we introduce a new algebraic point of view of this…
The dynamics of many systems from physics, economics, chemistry, and biology can be modelled through polynomial functions. In this paper, we provide a computational means to find positively invariant sets of polynomial dynamical systems by…
This is the extended version of the paper "Special Lagrangian conifolds, I: Moduli spaces", which discusses the deformation theory of special Lagrangian (SL) conifolds in complex space C^m. Conifolds are a key ingredient in the…
This essay explains an approach to the study of smooth manifolds which compares them to presheaves on a category of discs, also known as embedding calculus. We highlight recent work that shows this approach has many desirable properties, as…
Statistical decision problems lie at the heart of statistical machine learning. The simplest problems are binary and multiclass classification and class probability estimation. Central to their definition is the choice of loss function,…
This article presents a zeroth order probabilistic global optimization algorithm -- SwiftNav -- for (not necessarily convex) functions over a compact domain. A discretization procedure is deployed on the compact domain, starting with a…
Generalized sampling consists in the recovery of a function $f$, from the samples of the responses of a collection of linear shift-invariant systems to the input $f$. The reconstructed function is typically a member of a finitely generated…
The paper deals with a comprehensive theory of mappings, whose local behavior can be described by means of linear subspaces, contained in the graphs of two (primal and dual) generalized derivatives. This class of mappings includes the…
This paper is devoted to the stability analysis of spatially interconnected systems (SISs) via the sum-of-squares (SOS) decomposition of positive trigonometric polynomials. For each spatial direction of SISs, three types of interconnected…
The Smirnov class for the classical Hardy space is the set of ratios of bounded analytic functions on the open complex unit disk with outer denominators. This definition extends naturally to the commutative and non-commutative…
This paper presents a novel algorithm for constructing a sum-of-squares (SOS) decomposition for positive semi-definite polynomials with rational coefficients. Unlike previous methods that typically yield SOS decompositions with…
We study moduli spaces of twisted maps to a smooth pair in arbitrary genus, and give geometric explanations for previously known comparisons between orbifold and logarithmic Gromov--Witten invariants. Namely, we study the space of twisted…
This article introduces a finite piecewise Euclidean cell complex homeomorphic to the space of monic centered complex polynomials of degree $d$ whose critical values lie in a fixed closed rectangular region. We call this the branched…
We investigate a special kind of contraction of symmetric spaces (respectively, of Lie triple systems), called homotopy. In this first part of a series of two papers we construct such contractions for classical symmetric spaces in an…
