A systematic review of the various topologies that can be defined on the projective Hilbert space P(H), i.e., on the set of the pure quantum states, is presented. It is shown that P(H) carries a natural topology as well as a natural…
In this paper we consider an elementary, and largely unexplored, combinatorial problem in low-dimensional topology. Consider a real 2-dimensional compact surface $S$, and fix a number of points $F$ on its boundary. We ask: how many…
For any two disjoint oriented circles embedded into the 3-dimensional real projective space, we construct a 3-dimensional configuration space and its map to the projective space such that the linking number of the circles is the half of the…
We introduce a new formalism and a number of new results in the context of geometric computational vision. The classical scope of the research in geometric computer vision is essentially limited to static configurations of points and lines…
An $(n_k)$-configuration is a set of $n$ points and $n$ lines in the projective plane such that their point-line incidence graph is $k$-regular. The configuration is geometric, topological, or combinatorial depending on whether lines are…
In the unidimensional unfolding model, given m objects in general position there arise 1+m(m-1)/2 rankings. The set of rankings is called the ranking pattern of the m given objects. By changing these m objects, we can generate various…
Wheeler emphasized the study of Superspace - the space of 3-geometries on a spatial manifold of fixed topology. This is a configuration space for GR; knowledge of configuration spaces is useful as regards dynamics and QM.In this Article I…
We consider the number of edge crossings in a random graph drawing generated by projecting a random geometric graph on some compact convex set $W\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 3$, onto a plane. The positions of these crossings form the…
Finitely many hypersurfaces are removed from unordered configuration spaces of $n$ points in $\mathbb{C}$ to obtain a fibration over unordered configuration spaces of $n-1$ complex points. Fundamental groups of these restricted…
We investigate an algebraic problem related to the determination of the fundamental group of a class of spaces of configurations on surfaces. The configuration spaces are spaces of points grouped into colors. Whether two points are allowed…
Shape-constrained inference has wide applicability in bioassay, medicine, economics, risk assessment, and many other fields. Although there has been a large amount of work on monotone-constrained univariate curve estimation, multivariate…
The relation between fixed point and orbit count sequences is investigated from the point of view of linear mappings on the space of arithmetic functions. Spectral and asymptotic properties are derived and several quantities are explicitly…
The main theorem of this paper is a result of estimated transversality with respect to stratifications of jet spaces in the approximately holomorphic category over an almost-complex manifold. The notion of asymptotic ampleness of complex…
We study plane algebraic curves defined over a field k of arbitrary characteristic as coverings of the the projective line and the problem of enumerating branched coverings of $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ by using combinatorial methods.
Fractional minimum positive semidefinite rank is defined from $r$-fold faithful orthogonal representations and it is shown that the projective rank of any graph equals the fractional minimum positive semidefinite rank of its complement. An…
As countless examples show, it can be fruitful to study a sequence of complicated objects all at once via the formalism of generating functions. We apply this point of view to the homology and combinatorics of orbit configuration spaces:…
Let $T$ be a positive closed current of unit mass on the complex projective space $\mathbb P^n$. For certain values $\alpha<1$, we prove geometric properties of the set of points in $\mathbb P^n$ where the Lelong number of $T$ exceeds…
Consider a random geometric graph over a random point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Two points are connected by an edge if and only if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. We show that projecting the graph onto a two…
A common theme of enumerative combinatorics is formed by counting functions that are polynomials evaluated at positive integers. In this expository paper, we focus on four families of such counting functions connected to hyperplane…
We highlight the relation between the projective geometries of $n$-dimensional Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces through the projective models of these spaces in the $n+1$-dimensional Minkowski space, using a cross ratio notion…
