We study optimization over Riemannian embedded submanifolds, where the objective function is relatively smooth in the ambient Euclidean space. Such problems have broad applications but are still largely unexplored. We introduce two…

It is known by a formula of Hasse-Sondow that the Riemann zeta function is given, for any $ s=\sigma+it \in \mathbb{C}$, by $ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \widetilde{A}(n,s)$ where $$ \widetilde{A}(n,s):=\frac{1}{2^{n+1}(1-2^{1-s})} \sum_{k=0}^n…

In this paper, we are interested in the problem of scattering by strictly convex obstacles in the plane. We provide an upper bound for the number $N(r,\gamma)$ of resonances in the box $\{r \le \Re(\lambda) \le r + 1$; $\Im(\lambda) \ge -…

We show how certain non-perturbative superpotentials W, which are the two-dimensional analogs of the Seiberg-Witten prepotential in 4d, can be computed via geometric engineering from 4-folds. We analyze an explicit example for which the…

In this article we study limits of Wigner distributions (the so-called semiclassical measures) corresponding to sequences of solutions to the semiclassical Schroedinger equation at times scales $\alpha_{h}$ tending to infinity as the…

For smooth mappings of the unit disc into the oriented Grassmannian manifold $\mathbb G_{n,2}$, H\'elein (2002) conjectured the global existence of Coulomb frames with bounded conformal factor provided the integral of $|\boldsymbol A|^2$,…

We study novel three-dimensional gapped quantum phases of matter which support quasiparticles with restricted mobility, including immobile "fracton" excitations. So far, most existing fracton models may be instructively viewed as…

This paper gives a rigorous interpretation of a Feynman path integral on a Riemannian manifold M with non-positive sectional curvature. A $L^2$ Riemannian metric $G_P$ is given on the space of piecewise geodesic paths $H_P(M)$ adapted to…

We present new results of fitting 108 spectra of radio pulsars with the flicker noise model proposed by Loehmer et al. (2008) and compare them with the spectral indices of power-law fits published by Maron et al. (2000). The fits to the…

We show the validity of Nachman's procedure (Ann. Math. 128(3):531-576, 1988) for reconstructing a conductivity function $\gamma$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 3$) from its Dirichlet-to-Neumann map…

Using Wigner-deformed Heisenberg oscillators, we construct 3D Chern--Simons models consisting of fractional-spin fields coupled to higher-spin gravity and internal non-abelian gauge fields. The gauge algebras consist of Lorentz-tensorial…

With the standard deviation for the logarithm of the re-scaled range $\langle |F(t+\tau)-F(t)|\rangle$ of simulated fractal Brownian motions $F(t)$ given in a previous paper \cite{q14}, the method of least squares is adopted to determine…

We extend results of Y. Benoist and J.-F. Quint concerning random walks on homogeneous spaces of simple Lie groups to the case where the measure defining the random walk generates a semigroup which is not necessarily Zariski dense, but…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian homogeneous space (e.g. a Euclidean sphere). We prove existence of a global weak solution of the stochastic wave equation \mathbf D_t\partial_tu=\sum_{k=1}^d\mathbf…

In this paper we consider the problem of recovering the conformal factor in a conformal class of Riemannian metrics from the boundary measurement of one wave field. More precisely, using boundary control operators, we derive an explicit…

If our aesthetic preferences are affected by fractal geometry of nature, scaling regularities would be expected to appear in all art forms, including music. While a variety of statistical tools have been proposed to analyze time series in…

Consider a Brownian particle in three dimensions which is attracted by a plane with a strength proportional to some dimensionless parameter $\alpha$. We investigate the fractal spatial structure of the visited lattice sites in a cubic…

We employ the conformal bootstrap to re-examine the problem of finding the critical behavior of four-Fermion theory at its strong coupling fixed point. Existence of a solution of the bootstrap equations indicates self-consistency of the…

The Hausdorff dimension of the graphs of the functions in H\"older and Besov spaces (in this case with integrability p \geq 1) on fractal d-sets is studied. Denoting by s \in (0,1] the smoothness parameter, the sharp upper bound…

Based on a recent paper by Takhtajan, we propose a formulation of 2D quantum gravity whose basic object is the Liouville action on the Riemann sphere $\Sigma_{0,m+n}$ with both parabolic and elliptic points. The identification of the…
