Estimating the Euclidean distortion of an orbit space
Given a finite-dimensional inner product space $V$ and a group $G$ of isometries, we consider the problem of embedding the orbit space $V/G$ into a Hilbert space in a way that preserves the quotient metric as well as possible. This inquiry is motivated by applications to invariant machine learning. We introduce several new theoretical tools before using them to tackle various fundamental instances of this problem.

Cohomology of hypersurfaces of weighted projective space and the intersection form on $H^2$
Given a hypersurface $i \colon X \hookrightarrow \widetilde{P}^n$ in a weighted projective space, we compute the intersection form on the second cohomology $H^2(X, \mathbb{Z})^{\otimes n-1} \to \mathbb{Z}$ for the purpose of identifying Fano manifolds obtained from smoothing singular Fanos. In the process, we describe the integer cohomology groups $H^k(X, \mathbb{Z})$ for $k

Characterization of Hilbertizable spaces via convex functions
We show that the existence of a strongly convex function with a Lipschitz derivative on a Banach space already implies that the space is isomorphic to a Hilbert space. Similarly, if both a function and its convex conjugate are $C^2$ then the underlying space is also isomorphic to a Hilbert space.

Exploring Confinement in Anti-de Sitter Space
We study Yang-Mills theory on four dimensional Anti-de Sitter space. The Dirichlet boundary condition cannot exist at arbitrarily large radius because it would give rise to colored asymptotic states in flat space. As observed in [1] this implies a deconfinement-confinement transition as the radius is increased. We gather hints on the nature of this transition using perturbation theory. We compute the anomalous dimensions of the lightest scalar operators in the boundary theory, finding that the …

We use the results to detect nontrivial elements in the kernel of the reduced Thom morphism for Lie groups and their clas…

Characterization of Infinite Ideal Polyhedra in Hyperbolic 3-Space via Combinatorial Ricci Flow

However, the characterization of infinite ideal polyhedra, as proposed by Rivin, has remained a long-standing open problem. In this paper, we introduce the combinatorial Ricci flow for infinite ideal circle patterns, a discrete analogue of Ricci flow on non-compact Riemannian manifolds, and prove a characterization of such circle patterns under certain combinatorial conditions.

A replicator dynamic for non-exchangeable agents in a continuous action space is formulated and its well-posedness is proven in a space of probability measures. The non-exchangeability allows for the analysis of evolutionary games involving agents with distinct (and possibly infinitely many) types. We also explicitly connect this replicator dynamic to a stationary mean field game, which determines the pairwise actions of the heterogeneous agents. Moreover, as a byproduct of our theoretical resu…

Improving the average dilation of a metric graph by adding edges
For a graph $G$ spanning a metric space, the dilation of a pair of points is the ratio of their distance in the shortest path graph metric to their distance in the metric space. Given a graph $G$ and a budget $k$, a classic problem is to augment $G$ with $k$ additional edges to reduce the maximum dilation. In this note, we consider a variant of this problem where the goal is to reduce the average dilation for pairs of points in $G$. We provide an $O(k)$ approximation algorithm for this proble…

BV Functions and Sets of Finite Perimeter on Configuration Spaces
This paper contributes to foundations of the geometric measure theory in the infinite dimensional setting of the configuration space over the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^n$ equipped with the Poisson measure $π$. We first provide a rigorous meaning and construction of the $m$-codimensional Poisson measure -- formally written as "$(\infty-m)$-dimensional Poisson measure" -- on the configuration space. We then show that our construction is consistent with potential analysis by establishing the abs…

Monte Carlo phase space integration of multiparticle cross sections with carlomat_4.5
Multidimensional phase space integrals must be calculated in order to obtain predictions for total or differential cross sections, or to simulate unweighted events of multiparticle reactions. The corresponding matrix elements, already in the leading order, receive contributions typically from dozens of thousands of the Feynman diagrams, many of which often involve strong peaks due to denominators of some Feynman propagators approaching their minima. As the number of peaks exceeds by far the num…

Handlebodies, Outer space, and tropical geometry
The moduli space of graphs $M_{g,n}^{\mathrm{trop}}$ is a polyhedral object that mimics the behavior of the moduli spaces $M_{g,n}$, $\overline{M}_{g,n}$ of (stable) Riemann surfaces; this relationship has been made precise in several different ways, which collectively identify $M_{g,n}^{\mathrm{trop}}$ as the "tropicalization" of $M_{g,n}$. We describe how this relationship lifts to some objects that live over $M_{g,n}$ (like Teichmüller space) and that live over $M_{g,n}^{\mathrm{trop}}$ (li…

Intersection of two quadrics: modular interpretation and Hitchin morphism

Intersection of two quadrics: modular interpretation and Hitchin morphism
The cotangent bundle $T^*X$ of a smooth intersection $X$ of two quadrics admits a Lagrangian fibration determined by the intrinsic geometry of $X$. We show that this fibration is actually the Hitchin morphism if we endow $X$ with a structure of moduli space of twisted Spin-bundles. This generalises the classical result for threefolds, in which case it recovers the Hitchin fibration for the moduli space of rank two bundles with fixed determinant of odd degree on a curve of genus two.

Geomagnetic Storms and Satellite Orbital Decay
Energetic events on the Sun, particularly coronal mass ejections and high speed streams, regulate the near Earth space environment and give rise to space weather. A major terrestrial manifestation of such events are geomagnetic storms. A geomagnetic storm results in dissipation of energy from the solar wind into the atmosphere, leading to Joule heating and thermospheric expansion. This has serious consequences on Low Earth Orbit satellite lifetimes. Our work demonstrates the impact of different…

Half-space Liouville-type theorems for minimal graphs with capillary boundary
In this paper, we prove two Liouville-type theorems for capillary minimal graph over $\mathbb{R}^n_+$. First, if $u$ has linear growth, then for $n=2,3$ and for any $θ\in(0,π)$, or $n\geq4$ and $θ\in(\fracπ6,\frac{5π}6)$, $u$ must be flat. Second, if $u$ is one-sided bounded on $\mathbb{R}^n_+$, then for any $n$ and $θ\in(0,π)$, $u$ must be flat. The proofs build upon gradient estimates for the mean curvature equation over $\mathbb{R}^n_+$ with capillary boundary condition, which are bas…

Parametrized Kähler class and Zariski dense orbital 1-cohomology
Let $Γ$ be a finitely generated group and let $(X,μ_X)$ be an ergodic standard Borel probability $Γ$-space. Suppose that $G$ is the connected component of the identity of the isometry group of a Hermitian symmetric space. Given a Zariski dense measurable cocycle $σ:Γ\times X \rightarrow G$, we define the notion of parametrized Kähler class and we show that it completely determines the cocycle up to cohomology.x

Nationwide study finds that leaks in natural gas pipelines contribute to hazardous particulate air pollution
In March 2022, 14 residents of a four-story apartment building in Silver Spring, Maryland, were hospitalized when a gas leak from a cut pipeline caused a major explosion. Every year in the United States, there are hundreds of natural gas (or methane) pipeline leaks—caused by corrosion, equipment malfunctions, and construction activities. Methane leaks are not only dangerous; they contribute to air pollution and climate change.

England's water crisis needs more than just new reservoirs—here's what will help
England is facing a water crisis.

But as a hydrologist who studies Britain's often erratic weather patterns, I believe these reservoirs alone won't solve our water problems.
