Many applications require multi-dimensional numerical integration, often in the form of a cubature formula. These cubature formulas are desired to be positive and exact for certain finite-dimensional function spaces (and weight functions).…
Building on techniques developed by Lyons and Victoir, we present the first explicit construction of a degree-7 cubature formula for Wiener space over $\mathbb{R}^3$. We then examine and compare two approaches for computing cubature…
Numerical integration formulas in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space of degree three are discussed. For the integrals with permutation symmetry we present a method to construct its third-degree integration formulas with $2n$ real points. We…
In numerical integration, cubature methods are effective, especially when the integrands can be well-approximated by known test functions, such as polynomials. However, the construction of cubature formulas has not generally been known, and…
We propose a method to construct numerical solutions of parabolic equations on the unit sphere. The time discretization uses Laplace transforms and quadrature. The spatial approximation of the solution employs radial basis functions…
We review a lattice construction arising from quaternion algebras over number fields and use it to obtain some known extremal and densest lattices in dimensions 8 and 16. The benefit of using quaternion algebras over number fields is that…
Basic aspects of a program to put field theories quantized in radial coordinates on the lattice are presented. Only scalar fields are discussed. Simple examples are solved to illustrate the strategy when applied to the 3D Ising model.
We give theorems that can be used to upper bound the densities of packings of different spherical caps in the unit sphere and of translates of different convex bodies in Euclidean space. These theorems extend the linear programming bounds…
By taking the complements of embeddings of sphere plumbings in connected sums of $\mathbb{C} P^2$, we construct examples of simply connected four-manifolds with lens space boundary and $b_2 = 1$. The resulting boundaries include many lens…

Tube formulas (by which we mean an explicit formula for the volume of an $\epsilon$-neighbourhood of a subset of a suitable metric space) have been used in many situations to study properties of the subset. For smooth submanifolds of…
We construct sphere fibrations over $(n-1)$-connected $2n$-manifolds such that the total space is a connected sum of sphere products. More precisely, for $n$ even, we construct fibrations $S^{n-1} \to \#^{k-1}(S^n \times S^{2n-1}) \to M_k$,…

We show that if an open set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be fibered by unit $n$-spheres, then $d \geq 2n+1$, and if $d = 2n+1$, then the spheres must be pairwise linked, and $n \in \left\{ 0, 1, 3, 7 \right\}$. For these values of $n$, we…
Sphere-bases are constructed for the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ vector space formed by the $k$-dimensional subcomplexes, of $n$-simplex (or $n$-cube), for which every $(k{-}1)$-face is contained in a positive even number of $k$-cells; addition is…
Scattering structure factors provide essential insight into material properties and are routinely obtained in experiments, computer simulations, and theoretical analyses. Different approaches favor different geometries of the material. In…
73 new cubature rules are found for three standard multidimensional integrals with spherically symmetric regions and weights, using direct search with a numerical zero-finder. All but four of the new rules have fewer integration points than…
We consider a polynomial reconstruction of smooth functions from their noisy values at discrete nodes on the unit sphere by a variant of the regularized least-squares method of An et al., SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 50 (2012), 1513--1534. As nodes…
Utilising classical results on the structure of Hopf algebras, we develop a novel approach for the construction of cubature formulae on Wiener space based on unshuffle expansions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by…
Using combinatorial methods, we derive several formulas for the volume of convex bodies obtained by intersecting a unit hypercube with a halfspace, or with a hyperplane of codimension 1, or with a flat defined by two parallel hyperplanes.…
