Proof of a conjecture of Batyrev and Nill
(Johns Hopkins University PressAmerican Journal of Mathematics, 2016)
We prove equivalences of derived categories for the various mirrors in the Batyrev-Borisov construction. In particular, we obtain a positive answer to a conjecture of Batyrev and Nill. The proof involves passing to an ...
Modelling Interactions in High-dimensional Data with Backtracking
(Journal of Machine Learning ResearchJournal of Machine Learning Research, 2016)
We study the problem of high-dimensional regression when there may be interacting variables. Approaches using sparsity-inducing penalty functions such as the Lasso (Tibshirani, 1996) can be useful for producing interpretable ...
On the Cauchy Problem for the Homogeneous Boltzmann-Nordheim Equation for Bosons: Local Existence, Uniqueness and Creation of Moments
(SpringerJournal of Statistical Physics, 2016)
The Boltzmann-Nordheim equation is a modification of the Boltzmann equation, based on physical considerations, that describes the dynamics of the distribution of particles in a quantum gas composed of bosons or fermions. ...
Non-reductive automorphism groups, the Loewy filtration and K-stability
(l'Institut FourierAnnales de l'Institut Fourier, 2016-03-18)
We study the K-stability of a polarised variety with non-reductive automorphism group. We associate a canonical filtration of the co-ordinate ring to each variety of this kind, which destabilises the variety in several ...
Alpha invariants and coercivity of the Mabuchi functional on Fano manifolds
(Université Paul SabatierAnnales de la Faculté des Sciences de Toulouse, 2016)
We give a criterion for the coercivity of the Mabuchi functional for general Kàhler classes on Fano manifolds in terms of Tian's alpha invariant. This generalises a result of Tian in the anti-canonical case implying the ...
On K-stability of finite covers
(Oxford University PressJournal of the London Mathematical Society, 2016)
We show that certain Galois covers of K-semistable Fano varieties are K-stable. We use this to give some new examples of Fano manifolds admitting Kähler-Einstein metrics, including hypersurfaces, double solids and threefolds.
Gaussian tree constraints applied to acoustic linguistic functional data
(ElsevierJournal of Multivariate Analysis, 2016-10-11)
Evolutionary models of languages are usually considered to take the form of trees. With the development of so-called tree constraints the plausibility of the tree model assumptions can be assessed by checking whether the ...
Computations in monotone Floer theory
(Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, University of CambridgeUniversity of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, 2016-06-28)
Floer theory is a rich collection of tools for studying symplectic manifolds and their Lagrangian submanifolds with the help of holomorphic curves. Its origins lie in estimating the numbers of equilibria in Hamiltonian ...
Spectral gap in the group of affine transformations over prime fields
(University of ToulouseAnnales de la Faculte des Sciences de Toulousehttp://afst.cedram.org/item?id=AFST_2016_6_25_5_969_0, 2016-11-01)
We study random walks on the groups $\Bbb F^d_p \rtimes$ SL$_d$($\Bbb F_p$). We estimate the spectral gap in terms of the spectral gap of the projection to the linear part SL$_d$($\Bbb F_p$). This problem is motivated by ...
INVARIANT DISTRIBUTIONS AND THE GEODESIC RAY TRANSFORM
(Mathematical Science PublishersAnalysis & PDE, 2016-12-11)
We establish an equivalence principle between the solenoidal injectivity of the geodesic ray transform acting on symmetric $\textit{m}$-tensors and the existence of invariant distributions or smooth first integrals with ...
