Every homogeneous Riemannian C_0-space (N,g) is associated with its minimal polynomial. To provide explicit examples, we compute the minimal polynomials for generalized Heisenberg groups equipped with their canonical left-invariant metrics.
We study random dynamical systems generated by volume-preserving piecewise $C^{1}$ maps. For this class of systems, we establish an invariance principle stating that if all Lyapunov exponents vanish, then there exists a measurable family of probability measures on the projective bundle that is invariant under the projective cocycle...
This paper is the second in a series devoted to the study of unstable synthetic deformations through the lens of Malcev theories: certain $\infty$-categorical algebraic theories $\mathcal{P}$ with well-behaved $\infty$-categories $\mathrm{Model}_{\mathcal{P}}$ of models. In this paper, we show that Malcev theories and their models...
We confirm the Jamneshan-Tao conjecture for finite abelian groups of rank at most a fixed integer $R$ (i.e. finite abelian groups generated by at most $R$ elements), by proving an inverse theorem for 1-bounded functions of non-trivial Gowers norm on such groups, concluding that such a function must correlate non-trivially with a...
Given a knot presented as a braid closure, we construct a unified intersection model for the Alexander and Jones polynomials of the knot via what we call quantum Heegaard diagrams. These diagrams are obtained by stabilising the disc model of the first author, which we show are doubly-pointed Heegaard diagrams of the knot together with...
We obtain effective estimates for the growth rate of the $L^2$-energy of harmonic functions on geodesic balls in complete simply connected non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds with pinched sectional curvature. Our study relies upon a double-sided Price inequality for harmonic functions. Finally, we apply this circle of ideas to...
This paper is the first in a series of articles devoted to the construction and study of synthetic deformations of $\infty$-categories in the unstable context: that is, deformations of $\infty$-categories that categorify spectral sequence or obstruction-theoretic information. This paper sets up the foundations of our study. We...
In this paper, we study extinction in dynamical systems generated by reaction networks. We introduce two notions: weak extinction and strong extinction, and relate them to the structure of the underlying network through Lyapunov functions and LaSalle's invariance principle. In particular, for all deficiency-zero networks that are not...
We study quantum transport for the discrete one-dimensional random Jacobi operator of divergence-gradient type. For strictly positive and bounded random variables, we analyze the q-moments of the position operator and establish both upper and lower power-law bounds on their growth. Our approach relies on the asymptotic behavior of the...
We study the specializations $\mathcal{L}_{g,n}^ε$ at roots of unity $ε$ of odd order of the graph algebras, associated to a simply-connected complex semi-simple algebraic group $G$ and a compact oriented surface $Σ_{g,n}^{\circ}$ with genus $g$, $n$ punctures, and one boundary component. We prove that the central localizations of...
The reconstruction of unknown functions from a finite number of samples is a fundamental challenge in pure and applied mathematics. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in sampling recovery, focusing on the accuracy of various algorithms and the relationship between optimal recovery errors, nonlinear...
We consider semi-coherent binary systems that are subject to simultaneous failures of its components. These are systems whose components can be either working or failed; the system can also be working or failed depending on the state of the components; and repairing a component cannot cause the system to fail. We consider that one or...
Let $A$ be a separable, unital and exact $C^*$-algebra satisfying the universal coefficient theorem. We prove uniqueness theorems up to unitary conjugacy for unital, full and nuclear maps from $A$ into ultraproducts of finite von Neumann factors: any two such maps agreeing on traces and total $K$-theory are unitarily equivalent. There...
Quantum tomography involves obtaining a full classical description of a prepared quantum state from experimental results. We propose a Langevin sampler for quantum tomography, that relies on a new formulation of Bayesian quantum tomography exploiting the Burer-Monteiro factorization of Hermitian positive-semidefinite matrices. If the...
We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integral points of bounded log anticanonical height on a singular quartic del Pezzo surface over arbitrary number fields, with respect to the largest admissible boundary divisor. The resulting Clemens complex is more complicated than usual, and leads to particularly interesting...
The interleaving distance is arguably the most widely used metric in topological data analysis (TDA) due to its applicability to a wide array of inputs of interest, such as (multiparameter) persistence modules, Reeb graphs, merge trees, and zigzag modules. However, computation of the interleaving distance in the vast majority of this...
In [R. J. Baraldi and D. P. Kouri, Math. Program., 201:1 (2023), pp. 559-598], the authors introduced a trust-region method for minimizing the sum of a smooth nonconvex and a nonsmooth convex function, the latter of which has an analytical proximity operator. While many functions satisfy this criterion, e.g., the $\ell_1$-norm defined...
Suppose $F$ is a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and $G$ is the group of $F$-points of a split, connected, reductive group over $F$. Under a natural restriction on $p$, we determine the structure of the graded mod $p$ Iwasawa algebra $\textrm{gr}_{\mathfrak{m}}(\mathbb{F}_p [\![ I]\!])$, where $I$ is a pro-$p$ Iwahori...
Sarmanov copulas offer a simple and tractable way to build multivariate distributions by perturbing the independence copula. They admit closed-form expressions for densities and many functionals of interest, making them attractive for practical applications. However, the complex conditions on the dependence parameters to ensure that...
In the paper, we revisit several approaches to the concept of uniform completion $X^{\mathrm{ru}}$ of a vector lattice $X$. We show that many of these approaches yield the same result. In particular, if $X$ is a sublattice of a uniformly complete vector lattice $Z$ then $X^{\mathrm{ru}}$ may be viewed as the intersection of all...
This dissertation explores block decomposable methods for large-scale optimization problems. It focuses on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) schemes and block coordinate descent (BCD) methods. Specifically, it introduces a new proximal ADMM algorithm and proposes two BCD methods. The first part of the research...
Non-linear statistical inverse problems pose major challenges both for statistical analysis and computation. Likelihood-based estimators typically lead to non-convex and possibly multimodal optimization landscapes, and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods may mix exponentially slowly. We propose a class of computationally tractable...
In this paper, we contribute to the Kuperberg program by giving a diagrammatic presentation of generators and relations for the affine $E_7$ unshaded subfactor planar algebra. Using this presentation, we prove that its jellyfish algorithm is a well-defined surjection onto $\mathbb{C}$. In particular, this shows that the jellyfish...
In this paper we consider reduction of the stochastic Hamilton-Pontryagin principle formulated on the Pontryagin bundle of a manifold $Q$. We prove that a stochastic action invariant under the free and proper action of a Lie group $G$ drops to a reduced variational principle expressed in terms of variables of the Pontryagin bundle of...
This work concerns the computation of ground states of two-component spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (SO-coupled BECs), modelled by a coupled nonlinear eigenvalue problem of Gross-Pitaevskii type. Spin-orbit coupling gives rise to fascinating phenomena, including supersolid-like phases with spatially modulated densities....
