Berry and Tabor conjectured in 1977 that spectra of generic integrable quantum systems have the same local statistics as a Poisson point process. We verify their conjecture in the case of the two-point spectral density for a quantum particle in a three-dimensional box, subject to a Diophantine condition on the domain's proportions. A...
Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of a polynomial ring $R=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $K$ and let ${\rm sgn}(I)$ be its signature ideal. If $I$ is not a principal ideal, we show that the depth of $R/I$ is the depth of $R/{\rm sgn}(I)$, and the regularity of $R/{\rm sgn}(I)$ is at most the regularity of $R/I$. For ideals of height at...
I give a short proof of a recent result due to Kiefer and Ryzhikov showing that a finite irreducible semigroup of $n\times n$ matrices has cardinality at most $3^{n^2}$.
We define a HOMFLY version of the category $\text{Rep}_q\text{P}$ of quantum representations of a parabolic subgroup $\text{P}\subseteq\text{GL}_{m+n}$ of block triangular matrices. Alongside this category, we construct functors that interpolate the usual restriction functors between $\text{GL}_{m+n}$, $\text{P}$ and the subgroup...
Here we explore, in a series of articles, semiclassical quasimodes u(h,b), approximative solutions P(h)u(h,b)\sim 0, depending on $0<h<1$, and on b, the subprincipal symbol. We study a pseudodifferential operator with transversal intersections of bicharacteristics, where the principal symbol has double multiplicity, $p=dp=0$, in a...
We consider how flat a lattice simplex contained in the hypercube $[0,k]^d$ can be. This question is related to the notion of kissing polytopes: two lattice polytopes contained in the hypercube $[0,k]^d$ are kissing when they are disjoint but their distance is as small as possible. We show that the smallest possible distance of a...
Accelerating the renewable energy transition requires informed decision-making that accounts for the diverse financial, technical, environmental, and social trade-offs across different renewable energy technologies. A critical step in this multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process is the determination of appropriate criteria...
Varieties of quantitative algebras are fully described by their free-algebra monads on the category Met of metric spaces. For a longer time it has been an open problem whether the resulting enriched monads are precisely the strongly finitary ones (determined by their values on finite discrete spaces). We present a counter-example: the...
We prove that the Gorenstein locus of the Hilbert scheme of points on $\mathbb A^n$ is non-reduced for $n\geq 12$; we construct examples of non-reduced points that come from apolar algebras of the sum of general cubics. As a corollary, we get a non-reducedness result for the cactus scheme. We generalise the Białynicki-Birula...
We revisit a classical theme of (general or translation invariant) valuations on convex polyhedra. Our setting generalizes the classical one, in a ``dual'' direction to previously considered generalizations: while previous research was mostly concerned with variations of ground fields/rings, over which the vertices of polytopes are...
We construct self-similar solutions to the 2D Navier--Stokes equations evolving from arbitrarily large $-1$--homogeneous initial data and present numerical evidence for their non-uniqueness.
We revisit second-order-in-time space-time discretizations of the linear and semilinear wave equations by establishing precise equivalences with first-order-in-time formulations. Focusing on schemes using continuous piecewise-polynomial trial functions in time, we analyze their stability, convergence, and geometric properties. We...
A complete theory ${\mathcal T}$ of partial order is an FLD$_1$-theory iff some (equivalently, any) of its models ${\mathbb X}$ admits a finite lexicographic decomposition ${\mathbb X} =\sum _{\mathbb I}{\mathbb X} _i$, where ${\mathbb I}$ is a finite partial order and ${\mathbb X} _i$-s are partial orders with a largest element. Then...
In this article, we develop a new approach to the Poincaré--Dulac normal form theory for a system of differential equations near a singular point. Using the continuous averaging method, we construct a normalization flow that moves a vector field to its normal form. We prove that, in the algebra of formal vector fields (given by power...
In this paper, we examine an analogue of the recently solved spectrum conjecture by Fujita in the setting of Fine polyhedral adjunction theory. We present computational results for lower-dimensional polytopes, which lead to a complete classification of the highest numbers of this Fine spectrum in any dimension. Moreover, we present a...
This paper deals with the interactions of waves governed by a non-linear dispersive Boussinesq type system with the vertical displacement of a cylindrical floating structure in an axisymmetric without swirl situation. The Boussinesq regime is a good approximation of free surface Euler's equations when the non-linear parameter and the...
We consider subsets $S$ of a metric space $M$ such that Lipschitz mappings defined on $S$ can be extended to Lipschitz mappings on $M$, and we show that the union of such subsets has the same property under appropriate geometric conditions. We then derive several consequences to the isomorphic structure and classification of Lipschitz...
Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be subcategories of tensor categories $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$, respectively, both of which are abelian categories with finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects. We prove that if their derived categories $\mathbf{D}^b(\mathcal{A})$ and $\mathbf{D}^b(\mathcal{B})$ are left...
The purpose of this paper is to find conditions for a continuous onto map $φ\colon X\rightarrow Y$ and its induced map $φ_*\colon\mathcal{M}^1(X)\rightarrow\mathcal{M}^1(Y)$ to be semi-open, where $X$, $Y$ are compact Hausdorff spaces and $\mathcal{M}^1(X)$, $\mathcal{M}^1(Y)$ are their Borel probability spaces. For that, we mainly...
A coupled cell system is an ODE system associated with a coupled cell network, where the dimension is determined by the number of cells. A heteroclinic connection is a set of solution trajectories between two equilibria of an ODE system. A realization of a heteroclinic network is an ODE system that exhibits equilibria corresponding to...
The total isolation game is played on a graph $G$ by two players who take turns playing a vertex such that if $S$ is the set of already played vertices, then a vertex can be selected only if it is adjacent to a vertex that belongs to a (nontrivial) component of the graph $G - N_G(S)$ of order at least $2$ or a vertex that is isolated...
Artificial muscles are essential for compliant musculoskeletal robotics but complicate control due to nonlinear multiphysics dynamics. Hydraulically amplified electrostatic (HASEL) actuators, a class of soft artificial muscles, offer high performance but exhibit memory effects and hysteresis. Here we present a data-driven reduction...
Let $D$ be a principal ideal domain with infinite spectrum such that for every nonzero prime ideal $M$ of $D$, the residue field $D/M$ is finite. Let $K$ be the quotient field of $D$. We investigate sets of lengths in the ring of integer-valued polynomials on $M$, $\text{Int}(M, D) = \{f \in K[x] ~ \vert ~ f(M) \subseteq D\}$. For...
Within the last fifteen years, a program of establishing relationships between algorithmic randomness and almost-everywhere theorems in analysis and ergodic theory has developed. In harmonic analysis, Franklin, McNicholl, and Rute characterized Schnorr randomness using an effective version of Carleson's Theorem. We show here that, for...
This paper develops a systematic and geometric theory of optimal quantization on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^2$, focusing on finite uniform probability distributions supported on the spherical surface - rather than on lower-dimensional geodesic subsets such as circles or arcs. We first establish the existence of optimal sets of...
