We produce open subsets of the moduli space of metric graphs without separating edges where the dimensions of Brill-Noether loci are larger than the corresponding Brill-Noether numbers. These graphs also have minimal rank determining sets…

In this paper the authors show how to use Riemann-Hilbert techniques to prove various results, some old, some new, in the theory of Toeplitz operators and orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC's). There are four main results: the…

Noether's theorem, which connects continuous symmetries to exact conservation laws, remains one of the most fundamental principles in physics and dynamical systems. In this work, we draw a conceptual parallel between two paradigms: the…

We introduce a method for computing some pseudo-elliptic integrals in terms of elementary functions. The method is simple and fast in comparison to the algebraic case of the Risch-Trager-Bronstein algorithm. This method can quickly solve…

Let C be a smooth projective curve over the field of the complex numbers. We consider Brill-Noether loci over the moduli of maps from C to the Grassmannian G(m,n) and the corresponding Quot schemes of quotients of a trivial vector bundle on…

We consider two Riemannian geometries for the manifold $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ of all $m\times n$ matrices of rank $p$. The geometries are induced on $\mathcal{M}(p,m\times n)$ by viewing it as the base manifold of the submersion…

We obtain estimates of the multiplicative constants appearing in local convergence results of the Riemannian Gauss-Newton method for least squares problems on manifolds and relate them to the geometric condition number of [P. B\"urgisser…

The Riemann-Roch formula is a cornerstone in the classical theory of algebraic curves. Here we present a novel approach to its proof, by answering a question posed in 2007 by Matthew Baker and Serguei Norine.

In this paper, we give a new proof of an arithmetic analogue of the Riemann-Roch Theorem, due originally to Serge Lang. Lang's result was first proved using the lattice point geometry of Minkowski. By contrast, our proof is completely…

Computational techniques are extensively applied in nonlinear science. However, while the use of computers for research has been expressive, the evaluation of numerical results does not grow in the same pace. Hammel et al. (Journal of…

We consider the problem of numerically computing a critical point of a functional $J\colon M\rightarrow R$ where $M$ is a Riemannian manifold. Due to local quadratic convergence a popular choice to solve this problem is the geometric Newton…

Binet's equation provides a direct way to obtain the geometric shape of orbits in a central force field. It is well known that in Newtonian gravitation Binet's equation leads to all the conic curves as solutions for an inverse-square force.…
