A non associative, noncommutative algebra is defined that may be interpreted as a set of vector modules over a noncommutative surface of rotation. Two of these vector modules are identified with the analogues of the tangent and cotangent…

We develop a recursive formula for counting the number of rectangulations of a square, i.e the number of combinatorially distinct tilings of a square by rectangles. Our formula specializes to give a formula counting generic rectangulations,…

We derive certain constraints on the reflection matrix for reflection from a plane, nonmagnetic, optically anisotropic surface using a reciprocity theorem stated long ago by van de Hulst in the context of scattering of polarized light. The…

This paper studies compactifications of moduli spaces involving closed Riemann surfaces. The first main result identifies the homeomorphism types of these compactifications. The second main result introduces orbicell decompositions on these…

We prove that the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involutions are unirational. As a by-product we describe configuration spaces of 4<d<9 points in the projective plane as arithmetic quotients of type IV.

A high-order quadrature scheme is constructed for the evaluation of Laplace single and double layer potentials and their normal derivatives on smooth surfaces in three dimensions. The construction begins with a harmonic approximation of the…

Recent works of the authors have demonstrated the usefulness of considering moduli spaces of Artinian reductions of a given ring when studying standard graded rings and their Lefschetz properties. This paper illuminates a key aspect of…

In this paper, we consider inverse shape problems coming from diffuse optical tomography and inverse scattering. In both problems, our goal is to reconstruct small volume interior regions from measured data on the exterior surface of an…

We consider a class of nonconvex nonsmooth multicomposite optimization problems where the objective function consists of a Tikhonov regularizer and a composition of multiple nonconvex nonsmooth component functions. Such optimization…

We develop a universal distributional calculus for regulated volumes of metrics that are singular along hypersurfaces. When the hypersurface is a conformal infinity we give simple integrated distribution expressions for the divergences and…

A discrete rotation algorithm can be apprehended as a parametric application $f\_\alpha$ from $\ZZ[i]$ to $\ZZ[i]$, whose resulting permutation ``looks like'' the map induced by an Euclidean rotation. For this kind of algorithm, to be…

Given a conformally variational scalar Riemannian invariant $I$, we identify a sufficient condition for a compact Riemannian manifold to admit finite regular coverings with many nonhomothetic conformal rescalings with $I$ constant. We also…

We analyze and compare the methods of construction of the recursion operators for a special class of integrable nonlinear differential equations related to A.III-type symmetric spaces in Cartan's classification and having additional…

In this article, we consider certain irreducible subvarieties of the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces determined by the specification of actions of finite groups. We address the general problem of determining which among them are…

In previous work, the second author introduced a topology, for spaces of irreducible representations, that reduces to the classical Zariski topology over commutative rings but provides a proper refinement in various noncommutative settings.…

We recast elliptic surfaces over the projective line in terms of the non-commutative tori and one-parameter families of the periodic continued fractions. The correspondence is used to study the Picard numbers, the ranks and the minimal…

Recently, it has been shown that spiral-shaped microdisk cavities support highly nonorthogonal pairs of copropagating modes with a preferred sense of rotation (spatial chirality) [Wiersig et al., Phys. Rev. A 78, 053809 (2008)]. Here, we…

We develop a method for optimization in shape spaces, i.e., sets of surfaces modulo re-parametrization. Unlike previously proposed gradient flows, we achieve superlinear convergence rates through a subtle approximation of the shape Hessian,…

We introduce a new class of fractional backward orthogonal functions designed for the spectral approximation of weakly singular adjoint Volterra integral equations. These basis functions generate an approximation space that naturally…

Modular graph functions arise in the calculation of the low-energy expansion of closed-string scattering amplitudes. For toroidal world-sheets, they are ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$-invariant functions of the torus complex structure that have…
