We introduce and analyze parallelizable algorithms to compress and accurately reconstruct finite simplicial complexes that have non-trivial automorphisms. The compressed data -- called a complex of groups -- amounts to a functor from (the…

We study Hadamard's variational formula for simple eigenvalues under dynamical and conformal deformations. Particularly, harmonic convexity of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian under the mixed boundary condition is established for…

This paper is concerned with generalizations of the notion of principal eigenvalue in the context of space-time periodic cooperative systems. When the spatial domain is the whole space, the Krein-Rutman theorem cannot be applied and this…

A straightforward model for deposition and evaporation on discrete cells of a finite array of any dimension leads to a matrix equation involving a Sylvester-Kac type matrix. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the general matrix are…

We introduce a new iterative rounding technique to round a point in a matroid polytope subject to further matroid constraints. This technique returns an independent set in one matroid with limited violations of the other ones. On top of the…

In this article, we derive two spectral gap bounds for the reduced Laplacian of a general simplicial complex. Our two bounds are proven by comparing a simplicial complex in two different ways with a larger complex and with the corresponding…

Motivated by the study of a certain family of classical geometric problems we investigate the existence of multiplicative connections on proper Lie groupoids. We show that one can always deform a given connection which is only approximately…

Let $K$ be one of the complex classical groups ${\rm O}_k$, ${\rm GL}_k$, or ${\rm Sp}_{2k}$. Let $M \subseteq K$ be the block diagonal embedding ${\rm O}_{k_1} \times \cdots \times {\rm O}_{k_r}$ or ${\rm GL}_{k_1} \times \cdots \times…

This paper continues our investigation of a class of generalized quantum groups. The "standard" R-matrix was shown to be the unique solution of a very simple, linear recursion relation and the classical limit was obtained in the case of…

We present a simple proof of the fact that the base (and independence) polytope of a rank $n$ regular matroid over $m$ elements has an extension complexity $O(mn)$.

It is known that there are finitely many simplicial complexes (up to isomorphism) with a given number of vertices. Translating to the language of $h$-vectors, there are finitely many simplicial complexes of bounded dimension with $h_1=k$…

Many combinatorial properties of a point set in the plane are determined by the set of possible partitions of the point set by a line. Their essential combinatorial properties are well captured by the axioms of oriented matroids. In fact,…

Matroids generalize the familiar notion of linear dependence from linear algebra. Following a brief discussion of founding work in computability and matroids, we use the techniques of reverse mathematics to determine the logical strength of…

We establish explicit operator norm bounds and essential self-adjointness criteria for discrete Hodge Laplacians on weighted graphs and simplicial complexes. For unweighted $d$-regular graphs we prove the universal estimate…

The multi-indexed Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials form a complete set of orthogonal polynomials. They satisfy second-order differential equations but not three term recurrence relations, because of the 'holes' in their degrees. The…

This paper develops matrix-multiplication-based iterative refinement for diagonalizable non-Hermitian eigendecompositions. The main theory concerns simple eigenvalues and distinguishes two input regimes. In the right-only regime, where only…

For a q by q matrix x=(x_{i,j}) we let J(x)=(x_{i,j}^{-1}) be the Hadamard inverse, which takes the reciprocal of the elements of x . We let I(x)=(x_{i,j})^{-1} denote the matrix inverse, and we define K=I\circ J to be the birational map…

On a generic metric measured space, we introduce a notion of improved concentration of measure that takes into account the parallel enlargement of k distinct sets. We show that the k-th eigenvalues of the metric Laplacian gives exponential…
