Variational and Quasi-variational solutions to thick flows

We formulate the flow of thick fluids as evolution variational and quasi-variational inequalities, with a variable threshold on the absolute value of the deformation rate tensor. In the variational case, we show the existence and uniqueness of strong and weak solutions in the viscous case and also the existence of strong and weak...

Embeddings of $L^p$-operator algebras

We study embeddings of $L^p$-operator algebras arising from (twis\-ted) étale groupoids, with particular emphasis on rigidity phenomena for $p\neq 2$. Our methods rely on a detailed analysis of core normalizers and their functorial behavior under algebra homomorphisms. Using the notion of actors between groupoids, we show that under...

Entropy of Soft Random Geometric Graphs in General Geometries

We study the effect of the choice of embedding geometry on the entropy of random geometric graph ensembles with soft connection functions. First we show that when the connection range is small, the entropy is dependent only on the dimension of the geometry and not the shape, but for large connection ranges the boundaries of the domain...

Parareal algorithm for coupled elliptic-parabolic problems

We present a convergence analysis of the parallel-in-time integration method known as the Parareal algorithm for degenerate differential-algebraic systems arising from quasi-static Biot models, which govern coupled flow and deformation in porous media. The underlying system exhibits a saddle-point structure and degeneracy due to the...

The Zariski Topology on Homeomorphism groups

The Zariski topology on a group G is the coarsest topology such that all sets of the form $\{x \in G | 1_G \neq g_0 x^{k_0} g_1 ... g_{l-1} x^{k_{l-1}} g_l\}$ are open. Originally introduced by Bryant as the verbal topology, it serves as a fundamental tool for investigating the topological structure of infinite groups and is always a...

Finite de Finetti for convex bodies and Polynomial Optimization

Leveraging a recently proposed notion of relative entropy in general probabilistic theories (GPT), we prove a finite de Finetti representation theorem for general convex bodies. We apply this result to address a fundamental question in polynomial optimization: the existence of a convergent outer hierarchy for problems with inequality...

An update on multicolor Ramsey lower bounds

Building upon previous works by Conlon-Ferber and Wigderson, Sawin showed a few years ago that upper bounds on the minimum density of independent sets in a $K_t$-free $G$ can be used to provide lower bounds for multicolor Ramsey numbers. In this note, we observe how a further improved upper bound on this parameter directly follows...

Discrete log-concavity and threshold phenomena for atomic measures

We investigate threshold phenomena for random polytopes $K_N=\conv\{X_1,\dots,X_N\}$ generated by i.i.d.\ samples from an atomic law $μ$. We identify and provide a missing justification in the discrete-hypercube threshold argument of Dyer--Füredi--McDiarmid, where the supporting half-space estimate is derived via a smooth...

Counting point configurations in projective space

We investigate the enumerative geometry of point configurations in projective space. We define "projective configuration counts": these enumerate configurations of points in projective space such that certain specified subsets are in fixed relative positions. The $\mathbb{P}^1$ case recovers cross-ratio degrees, which arise naturally...

Asymptotic behaviour of coupled random dynamical systems with multiscale aspects

We examine a class of stochastic differential inclusions involving multiscale effects designed to solve a class of generalized variational inequalities. This class of problems contains constrained convex non-smooth optimization problems, constrained saddle-point problems and various equilibrium problems in economics and engineering....

On the diagonal of low bidegree hypersurfaces

We study the existence of a decomposition of the diagonal for bidegree hypersurfaces in a product of projective spaces. Using a cycle theoretic degeneration technique due to Lange, Pavic and Schreieder, we develop an inductive procedure that allows one to raise the degree and dimension starting from the quadric surface bundle of...

F-Purity of Binomial Edge Ideals

In 2012, K. Matsuda introduced the class of weakly closed graphs and investigated when binomial edge ideals are F-pure. He proved that weakly closed binomial edge ideals are F-pure whenever the base field has positive characteristic. He conjectured that: (i) when the base field has characteristic two, every F-pure binomial edge ideal...

The Geometry of Rough Path Space

We describe $H^p(V)$, a subset of $p$-rough path space $Ω_p(V)$ which is a vector space under an addition operation $\boxplus$ and a scalar multiplication $\odot$. We show that the domain of $\boxplus$ can be extended to $Ω_p(V)\times H^p(V)$, allowing any $p$-rough path $X$ to be additively perturbed by an $H\in H^p(V)$. We prove...

Understanding FISTA's weak convergence: A step-by-step introduction to the 2025 milestone

Beck and Teboulle's FISTA for finding the minimizer of the sum of two convex functions is one of the most important algorithms of the past decades. While function value convergence of the iterates was known, the actual convergence of the iterates remained elusive until October 2025 when Jang and Ryu, as well as Boţ, Fadili, and Nguyen...

Maximal Green Sequences for Cluster Algebras Associated to Closed Orbifolds

It is known that the existence of a maximal green sequence for a quiver associated to surfaces is equivalent to the equality of the cluster algebra and upper cluster algebra generated by the quiver. This paper makes the first steps in investigating this behavior in the generalised case of cluster algebras from orbifolds; determining...

On the number of permutation-twisted dot products

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic $0$. For each choice of distinct $a_1, \ldots, a_n\in \mathbb{K}$ and distinct $b_1, \ldots, b_n\in \mathbb{K}$, consider the sum $S=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i b_{π(i)}$ as $π$ ranges over the permutations of $[n]$. We show that this sum always assumes at least $Ω(n^3)$ distinct values. This...

Lucas-Pantograph Type Exponential, Trigonometric, and Hyperbolic Functions

In this paper, we include some new results for the Lucas calculus. A Lucas-Pantograph type exponential function is introduced. Additionally, we define Lucas-Pantograph type trigonometric functions, and some of their most notable identities are given: parity, sum and difference formulas, Pythagorean identities, double-angle identities,...

Height moduli of elliptic surfaces: Motivic height zeta rationality and Kudla-Millson modularity of Mordell-Weil rank jumps

Let $k$ be a perfect field with $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2,3$, set $K=k(t)$, and let $\mathcal{W}_n^{\min}$ be the moduli stack of minimal elliptic curves over $K$ of Faltings height $n$, constructed via the height-moduli framework of Bejleri-Park-Satriano applied to $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1,1}\simeq\mathcal{P}(4,6)$. The Shioda-Tate...

The formal theory of tangentads PART II

Tangent category theory is a well-established categorical framework for differential geometry. A long list of fundamental geometric constructions, such as the tangent bundle functor, vector fields, Euclidean spaces, and vector bundles have been successfully generalized and internalized within tangent categories. Over the past decade,...

Variable Stepsize Distributed Forward-Backward Splitting Methods as Relocated Fixed-Point Iterations

We present a family of distributed forward-backward methods with variable stepsizes to find a solution of structured monotone inclusion problems. The framework is constructed by means of relocated fixed-point iterations, extending the approach introduced in arXiv:2507.07428 to conically averaged operators, thus including iteration...
