Invariant Distributions and Tensor Tomography for Gaussian Thermostats
(International PressCommunications in Analysis and Geometry, 2016)In this paper we consider the Gaussian thermostat ray transforms on both closed Riemannian surfaces and compact Riemannian surfaces with boundary. We establish certain results on the injectivity of the thermostat ray ...

SMOOTH PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS OVER TWO-DIMENSIONAL MANIFOLDS WITH AN APPLICATION TO NEUROIMAGING
(Institute of Mathematical StatisticsThe Annals of Applied Statistics, 2016-01-05)Motivated by the analysis of high-dimensional neuroimaging signals located over the cortical surface, we introduce a novel Principal Component Analysis technique that can handle functional data located over a two-dimensional ...

Free groups and the axiom of choice
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, 2016-01-05)The Nielsen–Schreier theorem states that subgroups of free groups are free. As all of its proofs use the Axiom of Choice, it is natural to ask whether the theorem is equivalent to the Axiom of Choice. Other questions arise ...

Discussion of ‘An adaptive resampling test for detecting the presence of significant predictors’ by I. W. McKeague and M. Qian
(Taylor & FrancisJournal of the American Statistical Association, 2016-01-15)We are grateful for the opportunity to discuss this new test, based on marginal screening, of a global null hypothesis in linear models. Marginal screening has become a very popular tool for reducing dimensionality in ...

Effectivity of Iitaka fibrations and pluricanonical systems of polarized pairs
(SpringerPublications mathématiques de l'IHÉS, 2016-01-18)For every smooth complex projective variety W of dimension d and nonnegative Kodaira dimension, we show the existence of a universal constant m depending only on d and two natural invariants of the very general fibres of ...

The symplectic arc algebra is formal
(Duke University PressDuke Mathematical Journal, 2016-01-28)We prove a formality theorem for the Fukaya categories of the symplectic manifolds underlying symplectic Khovanov cohomology over fields of characteristic zero. The key ingredient is the construction of a degree-one ...

Deformations of Cayley submanifolds
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical StatisticsTrinity College, 2016-03-01)Cayley submanifolds of R^8 were introduced by Harvey and Lawson as an instance of calibrated submanifolds, extending the volume-minimising properties of complex submanifolds in Kähler manifolds. More generally, Cayley ...

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 ...

Detecting and Localizing Differences in Functional Time Series Dynamics: A Case Study in Molecular Biophysics
(Taylor & FrancisJournal of the American Statistical Association, 2016-03-22)Motivated by the problem of inferring the molecular dynamics of DNA in solution, and linking them with its base-pair composition, we consider the problem of comparing the dynamics of functional time series (FTS), and of ...

Simple Containers for Simple Hypergraphs
(Cambridge University PressCombinatorics Probability and Computing, 2016-05-01)We give an easy method for constructing containers for simple hypergraphs. The method also has consequences for non-simple hypergraphs. Some applications are given; in particular, a very transparent calculation is offered ...

Critical Surface of the Hexagonal Polygon Model
(SpringerJournal of Statistical Physics, 2016-05-01)The hexagonal polygon model arises in a natural way via a transformation of the 1-2 model on the hexagonal lattice, and it is related to the high temperature expansion of the Ising model. There are three types of edge, and ...

Evolution of initially contracting Bianchi Class A models in the presence of an ultra-stiff anisotropic pressure fluid
(Institute of PhysicsClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2016-05-12)We study the behaviour of Bianchi class A universes containing an ultra-stiff isotropic ghost field and a fluid with anisotropic pressures which is also ultra-stiff on the average. This allows us to investigate whether ...

A short proof that every finite graph has a tree-decomposition displaying its tangles
(ElsevierEuropean Journal of Combinatorics, 2016-06-08)We give a short proof that every finite graph (or matroid) has a tree-decomposition that displays all maximal tangles. This theorem for graphs is a central result of the graph minors project of Robertson and Seymour and ...

Gromov-Hausdorff Collapsing of Calabi-Yau manifolds
(International PressCommunications in Analysis and Geometry, 2016-06-08)This paper is a sequel to Collapsing of Abelian Fibered Calabi-Yau Manifolds [12]. We further study Gromov–Hausdorff collapsing limits of Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on abelian fibered Calabi–Yau manifolds. Firstly, we show ...

A Fully Automatic Theorem Prover with Human-Style Output
(SpringerJournal of Automated Reasoning, 2016-06-11)This paper describes a program that solves elementary mathematical problems, mostly in metric space theory, and presents solutions that are hard to distinguish from solutions that might be written by human mathematicians.

Categories of spaces built from local models
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical StatisticsTrinity Hall, 2016-06-28)Many of the classes of objects studied in geometry are defined by first choosing a class of nice spaces and then allowing oneself to glue these local models together to construct more general spaces. The most well-known ...

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 ...

Injectivity and Stability for a Generic Class of Generalized Radon Transforms
(SpringerJournal of Geometric Analysis, 2016-06-30)Let (M, g) be an analytic, compact, Riemannian manifold with boundary, of dimension n≥2. We study a class of generalized Radon transforms, integrating over a family of hypersurfaces embedded in M, satisfying the Bolker ...
