We consider the continuum limit of a recently-introduced model for discretized thick polymers, or tubes. We address both analytically and numerically how the polymer thickness influences the decay of tangent-tangent correlations and find…
Let X be a tight t-design of dimension n for one of the open cases t=5 or t=7. An investigation of the lattice generated by X using arithmetic theory of quadratic forms allows to exclude infinitely many values for n.
This study extends a prior investigation of limit shapes for partitions of integers, which was based on analysis of sums of geometric random variables. Here we compute limit shapes for grand canonical Gibbs ensembles of partitions of sets,…
We present an extension of an algorithm for the classical scalar $p$-Laplace Dirichlet problem to the vector-valued $p$-Laplacian with mixed boundary conditions in order to solve problems occurring in shape optimization using a $p$-harmonic…
We derive a compatible discretization method that relies heavily on the underlying geometric structure, and obeys the topological sequences and commuting properties that are constructed. As a sample problem we consider the…
In this paper, we establish a three circles type theorem, involving the harmonic area function, for harmonic mappings. Also, we give bounds for length and area distortion for harmonic quasiconformal mappings. Finally, we will study certain…
We investigate lower bounds for the number of ideal and finite vertices of right-angled hyperbolic polyhedra of finite volume. We use a geometric method of orthogonal gluings to establish new bounds in low dimensions, specifically…
We derive a continuum model for incompatible elasticity as a variational limit of a family of discrete nearest-neighbor elastic models. The discrete models are based on discretizations of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,\mathfrak{g})$,…
We prove a general multi-dimensional central limit theorem for the expected number of vertices of a given degree in the family of planar maps whose vertex degrees are restricted to an arbitrary (finite or infinite) set of positive integers…
We show that in $\text{O}(D)$ invariant matrix theories containing a large number $D$ of complex or Hermitian matrices, one can define a $D\rightarrow\infty$ limit for which the sum over planar diagrams truncates to a tractable, yet…
We introduce a notion of restricted pyramid configurations for computing the 1-leg Donaldson-Thomas $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2$-vertex. We study a special type of restricted pyramid configurations with the prescribed 1-leg partitions,…
The work contains a detailed study of the scaling limit of a certain critical, integrable inhomogeneous six-vertex model subject to twisted boundary conditions. It is based on a numerical analysis of the Bethe ansatz equations as well as…
The statistical mechanics of spin models, such as the Ising or Potts models, on generic random graphs can be formulated economically by considering the N --> 1 limit of Hermitian matrix models. In this paper we consider the N --> 1 limit in…
Classical multidimensional scaling is a widely used method in dimensionality reduction and manifold learning. The method takes in a dissimilarity matrix and outputs a low-dimensional configuration matrix based on a spectral decomposition.…
We consider a problem concerning tilings of rectangular regions by a finite library of polyominoes. We specifically look at rectangular regions of dimension $n\times m$ and ask whether or not a tiling of this region can be rearranged so…
We solve and generalize an open problem posted by James Propp (Problem 16 in New Perspectives in Geometric Combinatorics, Cambridge University Press, 1999) on the number of tilings of quasi-hexagonal regions on the square lattice with every…
In this thesis, we consider domino tilings of three-dimensional regions, especially those of the form $\mathcal{D} \times [0,N]$. In particular, we investigate the connected components of the space of tilings of such regions by flips, the…
Domino tilings have been studied extensively for both their statistical properties and their dynamical properties. We construct a subshift of finite type using matching rules for several types of dominos. We combine the previous results…
We apply ideas from the theory of limits of dense combinatorial structures to study order types, which are combinatorial encodings of finite point sets. Using flag algebras we obtain new numerical results on the Erd\H{o}s problem of finding…
In this paper we show how we can transform quadratic systems into new quadratic systems after some kind of birational transformations, the quadratic plane Cremona maps. We afterwards apply these transformations to the families of quadratic…
