We use cosmography to present constraints on the kinematics of the Universe without postulating any underlying theoretical model a priori. To this end, we use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis to perform comparisons to the supernova Ia…
We provide a new upper bound for sampling numbers $(g_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ associated to the compact embedding of a separable reproducing kernel Hilbert space into the space of square integrable functions. There are universal constants…
We discover new monotonicity formulae for minimal submanifolds in space forms, which imply the sharp area bound for minimal submanifolds through a prescribed point in a geodesic ball. These monotonicity formulae involve an energy-like…
A finite volume symplectic manifold is said to have "packing stability" if the only obstruction to symplectically embedding sufficiently small balls is the volume obstruction. Packing stability has been shown in a variety of cases and it…
In this note, we derive an asymptotically sharp upper bound on the number of lattice points in terms of the volume of centrally symmetric convex bodies. Our main tool is a generalization of a result of Davenport that bounds the number of…
We study two closely related problems stemming from the random wave conjecture for Maass forms. The first problem is bounding the $L^4$-norm of a Maass form in the large eigenvalue limit; we complete the work of Spinu to show that the…
In this article we provide lower bounds for the lower Hausdorff dimension of finite measures assuming certain restrictions on their quaternionic spherical harmonics expansion. This estimate is an analog of a result previously obtained by…
Given a sequence of Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities in $L^2$, we derive approximation theorems and quadrature rules. The derivation is completely elementary and requires only the definition of Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality, Sobolev…
Sharp bounds are obtained, under a variety of assumptions on the eigenvalues of the Einstein tensor, for the ratio of the Hawking mass to the areal radius in static, spherically symmetric space-times.
We prove a monotonicity identity for compact surfaces with free boundaries inside the boundary of unit ball in $\mathbb R^n$ that have square integrable mean curvature. As one consequence we obtain a Li-Yau type inequality in this setting,…
We prove matching asymptotic lower and upper bounds on the variances of the intrinsic volumes and the number of $k$-faces of $d$-dimensional random beta-polytopes. Using Stein's methods, we establish central limit theorems for the intrinsic…
It has been long recognised that, besides being a formidable experiment to observe the primordial CMB anisotropies, Planck will also have the capability to detect galaxy clusters via their SZ imprint. In this paper constraints on…
Statistical models with constrained probability distributions are abundant in machine learning. Some examples include regression models with norm constraints (e.g., Lasso), probit, many copula models, and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA).…
We present a comprehensive study of the observational constraints on spatially flat cosmological models containing a mixture of matter and quintessence --- a time varying, spatially inhomogeneous component of the energy density of the…
We give the first rigorous proof of the convergence of Riemannian Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, a general (and practical) method for sampling Gibbs distributions. Our analysis shows that the rate of convergence is bounded in terms of natural…
We use Papasoglu's method of area-minimizing separating sets to give an alternative proof, and explicit constants, for the following theorem of Guth and Braun--Sauer: If $M$ is a closed, oriented, $n$-dimensional manifold, with a Riemannian…
We exhibit a simple and explicit formula for the metric of an arbitrary static spherically symmetric perfect fluid spacetime. This class of metrics depends on one freely specifiable monotone non-increasing generating function. We also…
For the quermassintegral inequalities of horospherically convex hypersurfaces in the $(n+1)$-dimensional hyperbolic space, where $n\geq 2$, we prove a stability estimate relating the Hausdorff distance to a geodesic sphere by the deficit in…
In this paper, we first investigate weighted Minkowski type inequalities for nearly spherical sets in space forms, focusing on the sets that are $C^1$-close to geodesic spheres. Our results generalize the work of \cite{G22} by incorporating…
We describe an MCMC method for sampling distributions with soft constraints, which are constraints that are almost but not exactly satisfied. We sample a total distribution that is a convex combination of the target soft distribution with…
