A continuum growth model is introduced. The state at time $t$, $S_t$, is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ and consists of a connected union of randomly sized Euclidean balls, which emerge from outbursts at their center points. An outburst occurs…

This paper is about cubic sand grains moving around on nicely packed columns in one dimension (the physical sand pile is two dimensional, but the support of sand columns is one dimensional). The Kadanoff Sand Pile Model is a discrete…

We study a random partial covering model on the $(d-1)$-dimensional unit sphere, where $N$ spherical caps are placed independently and uniformly at random, each covering a surface fraction of $1/N$. This model provides a continuous…

We study a model for email communication due to Gabrielli and Caldarelli, where someone receives and answers emails at the times of independent Poisson processes with intensities $\lambda_{\rm in}>\lambda_{\rm out}$. The receiver assigns…

We introduce a class of one-dimensional discrete space-discrete time stochastic growth models described by a height function $h_t(x)$ with corner initialization. We prove, with one exception, that the limiting distribution function of…

Chloroplasts regulate their growth to optimize photosynthesis. Quantitative data shows that the ratio of total chloroplast area to mesophyll cell area is constant across different cells within a single species, and also across species.…

A variational lattice model is proposed to define an evolution of sets from a single point (nucleation) following a criterion of "maximization" of the perimeter. At a discrete level, the evolution has a "checkerboard" structure and its…

It is known that in $\mathbb{R}^n,n\geq 2$, a compact set which contains $n-1$ spheres with all radii in $[1/2,1]$ or with all possible centres in $[0,1]^n$ has full Hausdorff dimension. In fact the later set has positive Lebesgue measure.…

We introduce a tiling problem between bounded open convex polyforms $\hat{P}\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ with directed and uniquely colored edges. If there exists a tiling of the polyform $\hat{P}_2$ by $\hat{P}_1$, we show that one can construct a…

We study modular fibers of elliptic differentials, which are roughly spaces of torus-coverings over a fixed base torus. For genus 2 torus covers with fixed degree we show, that the modular fibers F_d(1,1) are itself connected torus covers…

There are several studies proposing phenomenological consequences of a deformation of special and general relativity. Here, we cast novel constraints on the deformation parameter of a metric in the cotangent bundle accounting for a curved…

In a previous paper by the authors the existence of Haar projections with growing norms in Sobolev-Triebel-Lizorkin spaces has been shown via a probabilistic argument. This existence was sufficient to determine the precise range of…

The dimer model is a classical statistical mechanics model which is exactly solvable in two dimensions, but about which little is known in higher dimensions. In analogy with large $N$ limits in lattice gauge theory, we study a large $N$…

We consider a variation of the standard Hastings-Levitov model HL(0), in which growth is anisotropic. Two natural scaling limits are established and we give precise descriptions of the effects of the anisotropy. We show that the limit…

The growth-rate function for a minor-closed class $\mathcal{M}$ of matroids is the function $h$ where, for each non-negative integer $r$, $h(r)$ is the maximum number of elements of a simple matroid in $\mathcal{M}$ with rank at most $r$.…

We consider the Constrained-degree percolation model in random environment (CDPRE) on the square lattice. In this model, each vertex $v$ has an independent random constraint $\kappa_v$ which takes the value $j\in \{0,1,2,3\}$ with…

We carry out a numerical study of the spinless modular bootstrap for conformal field theories with current algebra $U(1)^c \times U(1)^c$, or equivalently the linear programming bound for sphere packing in $2c$ dimensions. We give a more…

We give a new characterisation of inner product spaces amongst normed vector spaces in terms of the maximal cirumradius of spheres. It turns out that a normed vector space $(X,\norm{\cdot})$ with $\dim X\geq 2$ is an inner product space if…

We investigate the limiting behaviour of the path of random bridges treated as random sets in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with the Euclidean metric and the dimension $d$ increasing to infinity. The main result states that, in the square integrable…

A conformal metric ${\rm d}s^{2}$ with finitely many conical singularities of constant Gaussian curvature $K=1$ on a compact Riemann surface is referred to as a spherical conical metric. When the associated monodromy group of ${\rm d}s^{2}$…
