We obtain constraints on the slope of a universal stellar initial mass function (IMF) over a range of cosmic star-formation histories (SFH) using z=0.1 luminosity densities in the range from 0.2 to 2.2 microns. The age-IMF degeneracy of…

We report a detailed study, using state-of-the-art simulation and theoretical methods, of the depletion potential between a pair of big hard spheres immersed in a reservoir of much smaller hard spheres, the size disparity being measured by…

We study the impedance spectra of woodwind instruments with arbitrary axisymmetric geometry. We perform piecewise interpolations of the instruments' profile, using interpolating functions amenable to analytic solutions of the Webster…

Investigating the chemical complexity of the interstellar medium (ISM) is key for understanding its physical nature and evolution. In this work, we study parsec-scale interstellar dust clouds in the neutral ISM of the Milky Way using two…

We present first results of an experiment to combine data from Keck aperture masking and the Infrared-Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) to image the circumstellar environments of evolved stars with ~20 milliarcsecond resolution. The unique…

We initiate a study of the following problem: Given a continuous domain $\Omega$ along with its convex hull $\mathcal{K}$, a point $A \in \mathcal{K}$ and a prior measure $\mu$ on $\Omega$, find the probability density over $\Omega$ whose…

Credal sets, i.e., closed convex sets of probability measures, provide a natural framework to represent aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty in machine learning. Yet how to quantify these two types of uncertainty for a given credal set,…

Astrophysical polarization measurements in the soft gamma-ray band are becoming more feasible as detectors with high position and energy resolution are deployed. Previous work has shown that the minimum detectable polarization (MDP) of an…

We construct a family of probability measures on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. We show that these measures are Borel measures with respect to the topology induced by the Hofer metric.…

We derive necessary density conditions for sampling and for interpolation in general reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces satisfying some natural conditions on the geometry of the space and the reproducing kernel. If the volume of shells is…

We prove spectral, stochastic and mean curvature estimates for complete $m$-submanifolds $\varphi \colon M \to N$ of $n$-manifolds with a pole $N$ in terms of the comparison isoperimetric ratio $I_{m}$ and the extrinsic radius…

Let $M$ be a compact 1-manifold. Given a continuous function $g:M\to \mathbb R_+$ we consider the following ordinary differential equation: $\|\dot{f}(t)\|=g(t)$, where $f:M\to \mathbb R^2$. We construct a probability measure on the space…

Let $\Omega \subset {R}^n,$ $n \geq 3,$ be a bounded open set, $x=(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)$ a generic point which belongs to $\Omega,$ $u \colon \Omega \to {R}^N ,$ $N>1,$ and $ Du=(D_\alpha u^i)$, $D_\alpha = \partial/\partial x_\alpha, $…

We introduce a class of Hermitian metrics, that we call pluriclosed star split, generalising both the astheno-K\"ahler metrics of Jost and Yau and the $(n-2)$-Gauduchon metrics of Fu-Wang-Wu on complex manifolds. They have links with…

We study the numerical approximation of integrals over $\mathbb{R}^s$ with respect to the standard Gaussian measure for integrands which lie in certain Hermite spaces of functions. The decay rate of the associated sequence is specified by a…

In this note, we propose an unbalanced version of the quantum mechanical version of optimal mass transport that was based on the Lindblad equation. We formulate a natural interpolation framework between density matrices and matrix-valued…

Kernel mean embeddings are a popular tool that consists in representing probability measures by their infinite-dimensional mean embeddings in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. When the kernel is characteristic, mean embeddings can be used…

We present precise anisotropic interpolation error estimates for smooth functions using a new geometric parameter and derive inverse inequalities on anisotropic meshes. In our theory, the interpolation error is bounded in terms of the…

The filamentary structure of the molecular interstellar medium and the potential link of this morphology to star formation have been brought into focus recently by high resolution observational surveys. An especially puzzling matter is that…

Let $d$ be a positive integer, and let $\mu$ be a finite measure on $\br^d$. In this paper we ask when it is possible to find a subset $\Lambda$ in $\br^d$ such that the corresponding complex exponential functions $e_\lambda$ indexed by…
