We prove that strictly convex surfaces moving by $K^{\alpha/2}$ become spherical as they contract to points, provided $\alpha$ lies in the range $[1,2]$. In the process we provide a natural candidate for a curvature pinching quantity for…
The maximally complicated arbitrary-dimensional "maximal" Galileon field equations simplify dramatically for symmetric configurations. Thus, spherical symmetry reduces the equations from the D- to the two-dimensional Monge-Ampere equation,…
We consider generalizations of Szpiro's classical discriminant conjecture to hyperelliptic curves over a number field $K$, and to smooth, projective and geometrically connected curves $X$ over $K$ of genus at least one. The main results…
A certain inequality conjectured by Vershynin is studied. It is proved that for any $n$-dimensional symmetric convex body $K$ with inradius $w$ and $\gamma_{n}(K) \leq 1/2$ there is $\gamma_{n}(sK) \leq (2s)^{w^{2}/4}\gamma_{n}(K)$ for any…
Remarks on the Obstructedness of Cones Over Curves of Low Genus. Reason for replacement: proof of the main lemma was significantly improved.
Foundational cases of the generalized Stokes' theorem are visualized using geometric algebra. From considering bivector valued fields, two seldom used instances of the theorem are obtained. Graphical representations are given, showing a…
This paper gives an improved version of the original proof of Bloch-Connelly-Henderson's theorem about the space of $SL$ homeomorphisms of a convex 2-disk. A major improvement is related to the main lemma of the original paper.
We first provide a classical analysis proof of a version of the Alexandroff-Bakelman-Pucci inequality (ABP) for compactly supported $C^2$ functions in dimension $2$, inspired by the symplectic geometry proof method of Viterbo, which avoids…
We consider the Stefan problem, firstly with regular data and secondly with irregular data. In both cases is given a proof for the convergence of an approximation obtained by regularising the problem. These proofs are based on weak…
We introduce the concept of spherical (as distinguished from planar) reflection positivity and use it to obtain a new proof of the sharp constants in certain cases of the HLS and the logarithmic HLS inequality. Our proofs relies on an…
We show a new, elementary and geometric proof of the classical Alexandrov theorem about the second order differentiability of convex functions. We also show new proofs of recent results about Lusin approximation of convex functions and…
A modification of perturbation theory, known as delta-expansion (variationally improved perturbation), gave rigorously convergent series in some D=1 models (oscillator energy levels) with factorially divergent ordinary perturbative…
After reformulating Gromov's non-squeezing theorem as an area-inequality, we discuss a seemingly natural higher dimensional generalization.
Proofs that a smooth morphism is flat available in the literature are long and difficult. We give a short proof of this fact.
Gromov's famous non-squeezing theorem (1985) states that the standard symplectic ball cannot be symplectically squeezed into any cylinder of smaller radius. Does there exist an analogue of this result in contact geometry? Our main finding…
We study local asymptotic normality of M-estimates of convex minimization in an infinite dimensional parameter space. The objective function of M-estimates is not necessary differentiable and is possibly subject to convex constraints. In…
We show that, when an approximation used in this prior work is removed, the resulting improved calculation yields an alternative derivation, in the particular case studied, of the accidental curvature constraint of Hellmann and Kaminski.…
The recent non-calculus proof of Kepler's first law succeeds because of an obscure, but valid property of the ellipse.
In this paper we consider the convex hull of a spherically symmetric sample in $R^d$. Our main contributions are some new asymptotic results for the expectation of the number of vertices, number of facets, area and the volume of the convex…
Almost all available results in elasticity on curved topographies are obtained within either a small curvature expansion or an empirical covariant generalization that accounts for screening between Gaussian curvature and disclinations. In…
