Sixty participants provided dissimilarity ratings between various singing techniques. Multidimensional scaling, class averaging and clustering techniques were used to analyse timbral spaces and how they change between different singers,…

New bounds on the number of similar or directly similar copies of a pattern within a finite subset of the line or the plane are proved. The number of equilateral triangles whose vertices all lie within an $n$-point subset of the plane is…

Let $n \ge 3$ be an integer. Let $P_n = \{1, 2, 3, ..., n-1, n \}$ and let $S_n$ be the symmetric group of permutations on $P_n$. Motivated by the theory of discrete dynamical systems on the interval, we associate each permutation $\si_n$…

$\infty$-Harmonic maps are a generalization of $\infty$-harmonic functions. They can be viewed as the limiting cases of p-harmonic maps as p goes to infinity. In this paper, we give complete classifications of linear and quadratic…

We call indexed-biharmonic maps, the solutions of a particular non linear elliptic PDE of order 4. This is a generalization of harmonic maps which verifies that biharmonic maps are biharmonic of index 0. The goal of this article is to study…

The dynamical equations of clarinet-like systems are known to be reducible to a non-linear iterated map within reasonable approximations. This leads to time oscillations that are represented by square signals, analogous to the Raman regime…

The notion of a coherent space is a nonlinear version of the notion of a complex Euclidean space: The vector space axioms are dropped while the notion of inner product is kept. Coherent spaces provide a setting for the study of geometry in…

Superconformal algebras embedding space-time in any dimension and signature are considered. Different real forms of the $R$-symmetries arise both for usual space-time signature (one time) and for Euclidean or exotic signatures (more than…

We study the space $Q_n$ of all configurations of $n$ ordered points on the circle such that no three points coincide, and in which one of the points (say, the last one) is fixed. We compute its fundamental group for $n<6$ and describe its…

We introduce a novel and interpretable path-based music similarity measure. Our similarity measure assumes that items, such as songs and artists, and information about those items are represented in a knowledge graph. We find paths in the…

A periodic lattice in Euclidean space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…

This article could be called "theme and variations" on Cantor's celebrated diagonal argument. Given a square nxn tableau T=(a_i^j) on a finite alphabet A, let L be the set of its row-words. The permanent Perm(T) is the set of words…

A palindromic composition of $n$ is a composition of $n$ which can be read the same way forwards and backwards. In this paper we define an anti-palindromic composition of $n$ to be a composition of $n$ which has no mirror symmetry amongst…

The importance of repetitions in music is well-known. In this paper, we study music repetitions in the context of effective and efficient automatic genre classification in large-scale music-databases. We aim at enhancing the access and…

The collaboration of mathematics in the two musical systems of Pythagorean sounds and of equal sounds is evident and opportune for generating the elements and managing their relationships. The only essential notion for a rational…

This work addresses the problem of matching short excerpts of audio with their respective counterparts in sheet music images. We show how to employ neural network-based cross-modality embedding spaces for solving the following two sheet…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. A collection $\cal S$ of subsets of $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is called {\it symmetric} if $X\in {\cal S}$ implies $X^\ast\in {\cal S}$, where $X^\ast:=\{i\in [n]\colon n-i+1\notin X\}$. We show that in each of the…

A combination of three or more tones played together is called a chord. In the chromatic scale, chords which are consonant are of particular interest and can be divided into several groups, two main ones being the major and minor chords.…

Rhythm is ubiquitous in human culture and in nature, but hard to capture in all its complexity. A key dimension of rhythm, integer ratio categories occur when the relationship between temporal intervals can be expressed as small-integer…

We define a monad $T_n^{\operatorname{D^s}}$ whose operations are encoded by simple string diagrams and we define $n$-sesquicategories as algebras over this monad. This monad encodes the compositional structure of $n$-dimensional string…
