We determine the distribution of free ends and the monomer insertion potential in the strongly-stretched limit for regularly and statistically branched polymer brushes. We find that the end density flattens in the limit of very strong…
This is my Ph.D. thesis defended earlier this year. It contains mostly information already presented in previous Bielefeld/Saclay papers on this subject, though in more detailed form. It also includes actual calculations and some…
This paper is devoted to certain applications of classical Whitney decomposition of the upper half space R^n+1 to various problems in harmonic function spaces in the upper half space.We obtain sharp new assertions on embeddings,distances…
The work presents the frst and the second degree Darboux polynomials, Jacobi's last multipliers as well as the set of frst integrals for Brans-Dicke cosmology. Algebraic invariant sets are constructed. First integrals are visualized for…
Making use of a unified approach to certain classes of induced representations, we establish here a number of detailed spectral theoretic decomposition results. They apply to specific problems from non-commutative harmonic analysis, ergodic…
This paper contains results on geometric Routh reduction and it is a continuation of a previous paper where a new class of transformations is introduced between Lagrangian systems obtained after Routh reduction. In general, these reduced…
Last passage percolation and directed polymer models on $\mathbb Z^2$ are invariant under translation and certain reflections. When these models have an integrable structure coming from either the RSK correspondence or the geometric RSK…
A many variable $q$-calculus is introduced using the formalism of braided covector algebras. Its properties when certain of its deformation parameters are roots of unity are discussed in detail, and related to fractional supersymmetry. The…
These are expository lectures reviewing (1) recent developments in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, and (2) the construction of topological field theory Lagrangians. Topological field theory is discussed from the point of view of…
Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra of finite global dimension over a finite field. In the present paper, we introduce certain elements in Bridgeland's Hall algebra of $A$, and give a multiplication theorem of these elements. In…
This is an expanded version of a series of two lectures given at the IMA summer program "Symmetries and Overdetermined Systems of Partial Differential Equations". The main part of the article describes the Riemannian version of the…
This expository paper starts with a brief survey on the relation between partitions and surjections of sets, and then gives a quick introduction to the theories of incidence algebras, Segal groupoids and combinatorial species. The aim is to…
A new parametric surface representation is proposed that interpolates the vertices of a given closed mesh of arbitrary topology. Smoothly connecting quadrilateral patches are created by blending local, multi-sided quadratic interpolants. In…
We explore the practicability of Nash's Embedding Theorem in vision and imaging sciences. In particular, we investigate the relevance of a result of Burago and Zalgaller regarding the existence of isometric embeddings of polyhedral surfaces…

Some aspects of differential and integral calculi on generalized grassmann (paragrassmann) algebras are considered. The integration over paragrassmann variables is applied to evaluate the partition function for the $Z_{p+1}$ Potts model on…
A new way of computing scattering amplitudes in a certain very important QFT (N=4 SYM) has recently been developed, in which an algebraic structure called the positive Grassmannian plays a very important role. The mathematics of the…
The main subject of this expository paper is a connection between Gromov's filling volumes and a boundary rigidity problem of determining a Riemannian metric in a compact domain by its boundary distance function. A fruitful approach is to…
We present a theoretical analysis of Gaussian-binary restricted Boltzmann machines (GRBMs) from the perspective of density models. The key aspect of this analysis is to show that GRBMs can be formulated as a constrained mixture of…
We discuss recent developments on branching problems of irreducible unitary representations $\pi$ of real reductive groups when restricted to reductive subgroups. Highlighting the case where the underlying $(g,K)$-modules of $\pi$ are…
