Positive tuples of complete flags in $\mathbb{R}^3$ define two convex polygons in $\mathbb{RP}^2$, one inscribed in the other. We are interested in relating the Holmes-Thompson area of the inner polygon for the Hilbert metric on the outer polygon to the double and triple ratios of the positive tuple of flags. This article focuses on...
We provide an affine cellular structure on the extended affine Hecke algebra and affine $q$-Schur algebra of type $A_{n-1}$ that is defined over $\mathbb{Z}\left[q^{\pm1}\right]$, that is, without an adjoined $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$. This is with an eye to applications in the representation theory of $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)$ for a $p$-adic field...
Let $L(G)$ be the set of all subgroups of a group $G$. The subgroup generating bipartite graph $\mathcal{B}(G)$ defined on $G$ is a bipartite graph whose vertex set is partitioned into two sets $G \times G$ and $L(G)$, and two vertices $(a, b) \in G \times G$ and $H \in L(G)$ are adjacent if $H$ is generated by $a$ and $b$. In this...
We aim to solve a topology optimization problem where the distribution of material in the design domain is represented by a density function. To obtain candidates for local minima, we want to solve the first order optimality system via Newton's method. This requires the initial guess to be sufficiently close to the a priori unknown...
Many classical objects of study related to the geometry/topology of smooth Gaussian fields (e.g., the volume, surface area or Euler characteristic of excursion sets) have a `locality' property which is crucial to their analysis. More recently, progress has been made in studying `non-local' quantities of such fields (e.g., the...
This is an analysis of the status of Brooks' Theorem, a celebrated result in graph coloring, from the point of view of Reverse Mathematics. We prove that the restriction of Brooks' theorem to bounded graphs of degree greater than or equal to $3$ is provable in $\mathsf{RCA}_0$, while the statement for arbitrary graphs is equivalent to...
We prove quantitative polynomial Wiener-Wintner theorems in a very general setup, including measure-preserving actions of nilpotent Lie groups. Our results apply both to ergodic averages and to averages with singular integral weights. The proof relies on the generalized polynomial Carleson theorem developed in the companion paper by...
In this paper we study restricted overpartitions and concave compositions. In several cases the resulting generating functions involve simultaneously modular forms, mock theta functions, mock Maass theta functions, and false theta functions, illustrating the appearance of mixed modular structures in restricted partition problems....
We introduce an explicit logarithmic transformation $T(x) = \{\log_6(x + 1/5)\}$ under which the Collatz map becomes a rigid circle rotation by the irrational angle \(α= \log_6 3\), perturbed by a uniformly bounded error term. We prove that for all positive integers \(x\), $T(C(x)) = T(x) + α+ \varepsilon(x) \pmod{1}$, where...
We define a nonlinear Fourier transform which maps sequences of contractive $n \times n$ matrices to $SU(2n)$-valued functions on the circle $\mathbb{T}$. We characterize the image of finitely supported sequences and square-summable sequences on the half-line, and construct an inverse for $SU(2n)$-valued functions whose diagonal $n...
We introduce the wreath product for a class of operadic categories and use it to construct an explicit isomorphism between the Boardman-Vogt tensor product of two colored operads in Set and an operad induced by the wreath product of operadic Grothendieck constructions of the respective operads. We also describe how the wreath product...
We consider cubic number fields ordered by their discriminants, and show that there exist arbitrarily long sequences that contain only fields with class numbers greater than a given bound.
This manuscript presents a novel and reliable third-order iterative procedure for computing the zeros of solutions to second-order ordinary differential equations. By approximating the solution of the related Riccati differential equation using the trapezoidal rule, this study has derived the proposed third-order method. This work...
Using the model theory for Toeplitz operators with smooth symbols developed by the fourth author in the 80's, we study whether such operators $T_{F}$ can be embedded into a $C_{0}$-semigroup of operators on the Hardy space $H^p$ of the open unit disk, $1<p<\infty$. We show that it is the case as soon as $0$ belongs to the unbounded...
The goal of this note is to provide a constructive version of the proof of local structure of etale algebras.
Lower-dimensional subspaces that impact estimates of uncertainty are often described by Linear combinations of input variables, leading to active variables. This paper extends the derivative-based active subspace methods and derivative-based Shapley effects to cope with functions with non-independent variables, and it introduces...
We define a notion of morphism for generalized affine buildings, also known as affine $Λ$-buildings, extending existing definitions and giving rise to a category of generalized affine buildings. For affine $Λ$-buildings equipped with a transitive group action, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of morphisms between...
Let ${\mathbb F}$ be a (not necessarily finite) field. A subspace of the vector space ${\mathbb F}^n$ is called {\it non-degenerate} if it is not contained in a coordinate hyperplane. We show that the Grassmann graph of $k$-dimensional subspaces of ${\mathbb F}^n$, $1<k<n-1$, can be recovered from the subgraph of non-degenerate...
Optimal control of obstacle problems arises in a wide range of applications and is computationally challenging due to its nonsmoothness, nonlinearity, and bilevel structure. Classical numerical approaches rely on mesh-based discretization and typically require solving a sequence of costly subproblems. In this work, we propose a...
We derive quantitative volume constraints for sampling measures $μ_t$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$ that satisfy Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities of order $t$. Using precise localization estimates for Jacobi polynomials, we obtain explicit upper and lower bounds on the $μ_t$-mass of geodesic balls at the natural scale $t^{-1}$....
As a first step towards resolving a vanishing cosmological constant black hole stability conjecture, we prove energy, Morawetz and rp-weighted estimates for solutions to the Teukolsky equations on a slowly-rotating Kerr-de Sitter background, which we derive using an extension of the non-integrable formalism of [GKS24]. The main...
We construct the $g=1$ sector of the open $r$-spin theory, that is, an open $r$-spin theory on the moduli space of cylinders. This is the second construction of a $g>0$ open intersection theory, which includes descendents (the first is the all genus construction of the intersection theory on moduli of open Riemann surfaces with...
This paper develops a new algebraic multigrid (AMG) method for sparse least-squares systems of the form $A=G^TG$ motivated by challenging applications in scientific computing where classical AMG methods fail. First we review and relate the use of local spectral problems in distinct fields of literature on AMG, domain decomposition...
We compute the automorphism scheme of a generic odd dimensional $(2,2)$-complete intersection in characteristic $2$. This is the only case for complete intersections having a non-trivial identity component in automorphism schemes apart from quadric hypersurfaces and genus $1$ curves.
Conformable derivatives provide a fractional-looking calculus that remains local and admits a simple representation through classical derivatives with explicit weights. In this paper we develop a systematic operator-theoretic perspective showing that conformable time evolution is, in essence, a classical $C_0$-semigroup observed...
