Diffusive transport is a universal phenomenon, throughout both biological and physical sciences, and models of diffusion are routinely used to interrogate diffusion-driven processes. However, most models neglect to take into account the…
We have discovered that two significant quantities within hard particle systems: the probability of successfully inserting an additional particle at random and the scale distribution function, can be connected by a concise relation. We…

This work investigates dense packings of congruent hard infinitesimally--thin circular arcs in the two-dimensional Euclidean space. It focuses on those denotable as major whose subtended angle $\theta \in \left ( \pi, 2\pi \right ]$.…
A canonical partition function for the two-component excluded volume model is derived, leading to two different van der Waals approximations. The one is known as the Lorentz-Berthelot mixture and the other has been proposed recently. Both…
Computing mixed volume of convex polytopes is an important problem in computational algebraic geometry. This paper establishes sufficient conditions under which the mixed volume of several convex polytopes exactly equals the normalized…
We study aspects of emergent geometry for the case of orbifold superconformal field theories in four dimensions, where the orbifolds are abelian within the AdS/CFT proposal. In particular, we show that the realization of emergent geometry…
The Euclidean action serves as a bridge between gravitational thermodynamics and the partition function. In this work, we further examine the gravitational partition function under a fixed volume constraint, extending the fixed volume…
We prove two weighted geometric inequalities that hold for strictly mean convex and star-shaped hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. The first one involves the weighted area and the area of the hypersurface and also the volume of the region…
We give a method for computing upper and lower bounds for the volume of a non-obtuse hyperbolic polyhedron in terms of the combinatorics of the 1-skeleton. We introduce an algorithm that detects the geometric decomposition of good…
For a family $\mathcal{C}$ of properly embedded curves in the 2-dimensional disk $\mathbb{D}^{2}$ satisfying certain uniqueness properties, we consider convex polygons $P\subset \mathbb{D}^{2}$ and define a metric $d$ on $P$ such that…
We study the flow of equal-volume binary granular mixtures of spheres and dumbbells with different aspect ratios down a rough inclined plane, using the discrete element method. We consider two types of mixtures -- in the first type the…
To examine the relationship between sidechain geometry and sidechain packing, we use an all-atom Monte Carlo simulation to sample the large space of sidechain conformations. We study three models of excluded volume and use umbrella sampling…
Tube formulas (by which we mean an explicit formula for the volume of an $\epsilon$-neighbourhood of a subset of a suitable metric space) have been used in many situations to study properties of the subset. For smooth submanifolds of…
This paper introduces a natural definition for the volume of the unit ball in $n$-dimensional normed spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. This definition preserves the Euclidean relation $P(B)/V(B)=n$ between the perimiter and the volume of the unit ball…
Intrinsic volumes, which generalize both Euler characteristic and Lebesgue volume, are important properties of $d$-dimensional sets. A random cubical complex is a union of unit cubes, each with vertices on a regular cubic lattice,…

We introduce and study finite $d$-volumes - the high dimensional generalization of finite metric spaces. Having developed a suitable combinatorial machinery, we define $\ell_1$-volumes and show that they contain Euclidean volumes and…
