Consider a topological dynamical system where the group is abelian and the topologies are locally compact and second-countable. Given an invariant measure for this system, we show that if its dynamical spectrum is contained in some Borel subset of the dual group then the same holds almost surely for all ergodic measures arising via...
In this paper we calculate the Hochschild cohomology of graded skew-gentle algebras, together with its structure as graded commutative algebra under the cup product and its Lie algebra structure given by the Gerstenhaber bracket. One of the results of this paper is that for graded skew-gentle algebras and thus also for partially...
The standard definition of integration of differential forms is based on local coordinates and partitions of unity. This definition is mostly a formality and not used used in explicit computations or approximation schemes. We present a definition of the integral that uses triangulations instead. Our definition is a coordinate-free...
Separable nonlinear least squares problems appear in many inverse problems, including semi-blind image deblurring. The variable projection (VarPro) method provides an efficient approach for solving such problems by eliminating linear variables and reducing the problem to a smaller, nonlinear one. In this work, we extend VarPro to...
Mosquito-borne diseases remain a major public-health threat, and the effective control of mosquito populations requires sustained household participation in removing breeding sites. While environmental drivers of mosquito oscillations have been extensively studied, the influence of spontaneous household decision-making on the dynamics...
The purpose of this survey is to provide a gentle introduction to several recent breakthroughs in graph Ramsey theory. In particular, we will outline the proofs (due to various groups of authors) of exponential improvements to the diagonal, near-diagonal, and multicolour Ramsey numbers, improved lower bounds on $R(3,k)$ and $R(4,k)$,...
We revisit a fundamental question in hypothesis testing: given two sets of probability measures $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$, when does a nontrivial (i.e. strictly unbiased) test for $\mathcal{P}$ against $\mathcal{Q}$ exist? Le Cam showed that, when $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$ have a common dominating measure, a test that has...
We extend the de Branges-Rovnyak model for completely non-coisometric (CNC) linear contractions on a Hilbert space to the non-commutative multivariate setting of CNC row contractions. Namely, we show that any CNC contraction from several copies of a Hilbert space into a single copy is unitarily equivalent to the adjoint of the...
We introduce and study a new general flow of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures which we call the Ricci-harmonic flow of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures. The flow is the coupling of the Ricci flow of underlying metrics and the isometric flow of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures, but we also provide explicit lower order in the torsion terms. The lower order...
In this paper we study the value function of Bolza problems governed by stochastic difference equations, with particular emphasis on the convex non-anticipative case. Our goal is to provide some insights on the structure of the subdiferential of the value function. In particular, we establish a connection between the evolution of the...
We identify geometry--dependent minimal packet scales required for cancellation of boundary correlations of high--frequency Dirichlet eigenfunctions on smooth strictly convex domains. The main result is a threshold hierarchy: for zero--mean boundary weights, the energy--weighted packet average of boundary correlation coefficients...
This paper proposes a portfolio construction framework designed to remain robust under estimation error, non-stationarity, and realistic trading constraints. The methodology combines dynamic asset eligibility, deterministic rebalancing, and bounded multi-factor tilts applied to an equal-weight baseline. Asset eligibility is formalized...
This is a survey article about the connections between knot theory and four-dimensional topology. Every four-manifold can be represented in terms of a link, by a Kirby diagram. This point of view has led to progress in computing invariants of smooth four-manifolds that can detect exotic structures. We explain how this was done in two...
In this paper, we consider exact Lagrangian cobordisms and the map they induce on the Chekanov-Eliashberg DGAs of their Legendrian ends as defined by Ekholm, Honda, and Kalman. Specifically, we show how to adapt this map to linearizations of the DGA using augmentations. We then show its induced map on linearized Legendrian contact...
While General Fractional Calculus has successfully expanded the scope of memory operators beyond power-laws, standard formulations remain predominantly restricted to the half-line via Riemann-Liouville or Caputo definitions. This constraint artificially truncates the system's history, limiting the thermodynamic consistency required...
In this paper we present two different problems within the framework of shift-invariant theory. First, we develop a triangular form for shift-preserving operators acting on finitely generated shift-invariant spaces. In case of the normal operators, we recover a diagonal decomposition. The results show, in particular, that any finitely...
We give a Hamiltonian formulation of %the first order Weyl--Einstein--Cartan gravity which is covariant from the viewpoint of the geometry of the principal fiber bundle. The connection is represented by a $1$-form with values in the Poincaré Lie algebra, which is defined on the total space of the orthonormal frame bundle fibered over...
Inspired by the pullback method in the recent work of Sangiovanni-Vincentelli--Skinner, we reconstruct the diagonal class of Darmon--Rotger. Moreover, we reinterpret the computation of the $p$-adic regulator formula.
Optimal damping aims at determining a vector of damping coefficients $ν$ that maximizes the decay rate of a mechanical system's response. This problem can be formulated as the minimization of the trace of the solution of a Lyapunov equation whose coefficient matrix depends on $ν$. For physical relevance, the damping coefficients must...
This paper discusses the modeling of acoustic wave fields in microstructured elastic solids within the framework of Riemann-Cartan geometry. We consider a scenario in which microstructural deformations occur significantly faster than those of the bulk material. This time-scale separation creates apparent geometric incompatibilities at...
This paper deals with distributed optimization problems that use compressed communication to achieve efficient performance and mitigate communication bottleneck. We propose a family of compression schemes in which operators transform vectors fed to their input according to a Markov chain, i.e. the stochasticity of the compressors...
We give a self contained presentation of the notion of variance of a vector field introduced by Jean Ecalle and Bruno Vallet in \cite{ev} following a previous work of Jean Ecalle and Dana Schlomiuk in \cite{es}. We give complete proofs and definitions of various results stated in these articles. Following J. Ecalle and D. Schlomiuk,...
We give graphical presentations for the two quantum subgroups of type $G_2$. To do this we use a method of extending a tensor category by embedding the planar algebra of a $\otimes$-generating object into the graph planar algebra of this object's fundamental graph. This allows the use of computational methods to uncover relations we...
We analyze synchronization of relaxation oscillations in multiple-timescale reaction-diffusion systems. Interpreting synchronization as convergence to frequency-synchronized wave-train solutions, we resolve for the first time the case of phase waves. These waves are nearly phase-synchronized relaxation oscillations, featuring...
We study the $μ_N$-gerbe of curves of genus $g$ with an order $N$ automorphism, and explore what corresponding $H^2$-cohomology classes the components of this stack can have. In particular, we look at curves whose quotients by the order $N$ automorphism are genus 0, and completely determine the Brauer classes of these gerbes. The key...
