In a graph $G = (V,E)$, a k-ruling set $S$ is one in which all vertices $V$ \ $S$ are at most $k$ distance from $S$. Finding a minimum k-ruling set is intrinsically linked to the minimum dominating set problem and maximal independent set…

We consider a finite group $G$ acting on a manifold $M$. For any equivariant Morse function, which is a generic condition, there does not always exist an equivariant metric $g$ on $M$ such that the pair $(f,g)$ is Morse-Smale. Here, the…

We introduce the notion of the $k$-closure of a group of automorphisms of a locally finite tree, and give several examples of the construction. We show that the $k$-closure satisfies a new property of automorphism groups of trees that…

We describe the action of the Weyl group of a semi simple linear group $G$ on cohomological and K-theoretic invariants of the generalized flag variety $G/B$. We study the automorphism $s_i$, induced by the reflection in the simple root, on…

We study the Yang-Mills flow on a holomorphic vector bundle E over a compact Kahler manifold X . Along a solution of the flow, we show the curvature $i\Lambda F(A_t)$ approaches in $L^2$ an endomorphism with constant eigenvalues given by…

We prove that for all $r\in \mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$ and $s,t\in \mathbb{N}$, there exists $\Omega=\Omega(r,s,t)\in \mathbb{N}$ with the following property. Let $G$ be a graph and let $H$ be a subgraph of $G$ isomorphic to a $(\leq…

Given a henselian pair $(R, I)$ of commutative rings, we show that the relative $K$-theory and relative topological cyclic homology with finite coefficients are identified via the cyclotomic trace $K \to \mathrm{TC}$. This yields a…

We study a flow of $G_2$ structures which induce the same Riemannian metric which is the negative gradient flow of an energy functional. We prove Shi-type estimates for the torsion tensor along the flow. We show that at a finite-time…

Sewell and Trotter [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 1993] proved that every connected alpha-critical graph that is not isomorphic to K_1, K_2 or an odd cycle contains a totally odd K_4-subdivision. Their theorem implies an interesting min-max…

Topological dynamical systems $(X,T)$ are actions $T \times X \to X$, given as $(t, x) \to tx$, on a compact, Hausdorff topological space $X$ with $T$ as an acting group or monoid. We take up the property of topological transitivity…

While the Anomaly flow was originally motivated by string theory, its zero slope case is potentially of considerable interest in non-Kahler geometry, as it is a flow of conformally balanced metrics whose stationary points are precisely…

We study single-loop gradient-flow dynamics for nested optimization, where the outer variable evolves while auxiliary variables track the inner solution map. While existing analyses typically rely on problem- and condition-specific Lyapunov…

We consider additive perturbations of the type $K_t=K_0+tW$, $t\in [0,1]$, where $K_0$ and $W$ are self-adjoint operators in a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $W$ is bounded. In addition, we assume that the range of $W$ is a…

The threshold behaviour of the K-Satisfiability problem is studied in the framework of the statistical mechanics of random diluted systems. We find that at the transition the entropy is finite and hence that the transition itself is due to…

This is the second in a series of articles devoted to showing that a typical covering map of large degree to a fixed, regular graph has its new adjacency eigenvalues within the bound conjectured by Alon for random regular graphs. The first…

We consider discrete K-theory tadpole cancellation conditions in type IIB orientifolds with magnetised 7-branes. Cancellation of K-theory charge constrains the choices of world-volume magnetic fluxes on the latter. We describe the…

We present an integrability-based conjecture for the three-point functions of single-trace operators in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory at finite coupling, in the case where two operators are protected. Our proposal is based…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial graph with minimum degree $\delta$ and $k$ an integer with $k\ge 2$. In the literature, there are eigenvalue conditions that imply $G$ contains $k$ edge-disjoint spanning trees. We give eigenvalue conditions that…

We derive a fully explicit version of the Selberg trace formula for twist-minimal Maass forms of weight 0 and arbitrary conductor and nebentypus character, and apply it to prove two theorems. First, conditional on Artin's conjecture, we…

In a previous paper, we have constructed, for an arbitrary Lie group G and any of the fields F=R or C, a good equivariant cohomology theory KF_G^*(-) on the category of proper $G$-CW-complex and have justified why it deserved the label…
