Rectangular designs are classified as regular, Latin regular, semiregular, Latin semiregular and singular designs. Some series of selfdual as well as alpharesolvable designs are obtained using matrix approaches which belong to the above…
A polynomial transformation of the real plane $\Bbb R^2$ is a mapping $\Bbb R^2\to\Bbb R^2$ given by two polynomials of two variables. Such a transformation is called cubic if the degrees of its polynomials are not greater than three. In…
In this paper, we compare two optimization algorithms using full Hessian and approximation Hessian to obtain numerical spherical designs through their variational characterization. Based on the obtained spherical design point sets, we…
We evaluate integrals of certain polynomials over spheres and balls in real or complex spaces. We also promote the use of the Pochhammer symbol which gives the values of our integrals in compact forms.
Let $P_N(R)$ be the space of all real polynomials in $N$ variables with the usual inner product $<, >$ on it, given by integrating over the unit sphere. We start by deriving an explicit combinatorial formula for the bilinear form…
A regularization procedure developed in [1] for the integral curvature invariants on manifolds with conical singularities is generalized to the case of squashed cones. In general, the squashed conical singularities do not have rotational…
Some sum of squares (SOS) polynomials admit decomposition certificates, or positive semidefinite Gram matrices, with additional structure. In this work, we use the structure of Gram matrices to relate the representation theory of $SL(2)$ to…
We analyze the embedding dimension of a normal weighted homogeneous surface singularity, and more generally, the Poincar\'e series of the minimal set of generators of the graded algebra of regular functions, provided that the link of the…
We give some new explicit examples of putatively optimal projective spherical designs. i.e., ones for which there is numerical evidence that they are of minimal size. These form continuous families, and so have little apparent symmetry in…
Spinor polynomials are polynomials with coefficients in the even sub-algebra of conformal geometric algebra whose norm polynomial is real. They describe rational conformal motions. Factorizations of spinor polynomial corresponds to the…
It is well known that a non-negative definite polynomial matrix (a polynomial Gramian) $G(t)$ can be written as a product of its polynomial spectral factors, $G(t) = X(t)^H X(t)$. In this paper, we give a new algebraic characterization of…
Combinatorial design theory studies set systems with certain balance and symmetry properties and has applications to computer science and elsewhere. This paper presents a modular approach to formalising designs for the first time using…
A spherical conical metric $g$ on a surface $\Sigma$ is a metric of constant curvature $1$ with finitely many isolated conical singularities. The uniformization problem for such metrics remains largely open when at least one of the cone…
Let G/H be a unimodular real spherical space which is either absolutely spherical or wave-front. It is shown that every tempered representation of G/H embeds into a relative discrete series of a boundary degeneration of G/H. If in addition…
This paper provides triangular spherical designs for the complex unit sphere $\Omega^d$ by exploiting the natural correspondence between the complex unit sphere in $d$ dimensions and the real unit sphere in $2d-1$. The existence of…
Second-order superintegrable systems in dimensions two and three are essentially classified. With increasing dimension, however, the non-linear partial differential equations employed in current methods become unmanageable. Here we propose…
The $f(R)$ theory of gravity can be expressed as a scalar tensor theory with a scalar degree of freedom $\phi$. By a conformal transformation, the action and its Gibbons-York-Hawking boundary term are written in the Einstein frame and the…
One of basic difficulties of machine learning is handling unknown rotations of objects, for example in image recognition. A related problem is evaluation of similarity of shapes, for example of two chemical molecules, for which direct…
A finite collection of unit vectors $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is called a spherical two-distance set if there are two numbers $a$ and $b$ such that the inner products of distinct vectors from $S$ are either $a$ or $b$. We prove that if $a\ne…
The purpose of this paper is to give explicit constructions of unitary $t$-designs in the unitary group $U(d)$ for all $t$ and $d$. It seems that the explicit constructions were so far known only for very special cases. Here explicit…
