  • The greedy basis equals the theta basis: A rank two haiku 

    Cheung, Man Wai; Gross, Mark; Muller, Greg; Musiker, Gregg; Rupel, Dylan; Stella, Salvatore; Williams, Harold (ElsevierJournal of Combinatorial Theory Series A, 2016-08-26)
    We prove the equality of two canonical bases of a rank 2 cluster algebra, the greedy basis of Lee–Li–Zelevinsky and the theta basis of Gross–Hacking–Keel–Kontsevich.

  • Handbook of Big Data [Book review] 

    Samworth, Richard John (WileyStatistics in Medicine, 2016-12-01)

  • The monotone wrapped Fukaya category and the open-closed string map 

    Ritter, Alexander F; Smith, Ivan (SpringerSelecta Mathematica, 2016-08-09)
    We build the wrapped Fukaya category $\textit{W}$($\textit{E}$)for any monotone symplectic manifold $\textit{E}$, convex at infinity. We define the open-closed and closed-open string maps, OC : HH$_{*}$($\textit{W}$($\textit{E}$)) ...

  • Risk and Uncertainty Communication 

    Spiegelhalter, David John (Annual ReviewsAnnual Review of Statistics and its Application, 2017-03-07)
    This review briefly examines the vast range of techniques used to communicate risk assessments arising from statistical analysis. After discussing essential psychological and sociological issues, I focus on individual ...

  • Arithmetic invariant theory and 2-descent for plane quartic curves 

    Thorne, Jack Arfon (Mathematical Sciences PublishersAlgebra & Number Theory, 2016-09-27)
    Given a smooth plane quartic curve C over a field $\textit{k}$ of characteristic 0, with Jacobian variety $\textit{J}$, and a marked rational point P $\in$ C($\textit{k}$), we construct a reductive group $\textit{G}$ and ...

  • Envelopes of positive metrics with prescribed singularities 

    Ross, Julius; Nyström, David Witt (Université Paul Sabatier, ToulouseAnnales de la Faculté des Sciences de Toulouse, 2016)
    We investigate envelopes of positive metrics with a prescribed singularity type. First we generalise work of Berman to this setting, proving C$^{1,1}$ regularity of such envelopes, showing their Monge-Ampère measure is ...

  • On the $\phi$-Selmer groups of the elliptic curves y$^2$ = x$^3$ - Dx 

    Kane, Daniel M; Thorne, Jack Arfon (Cambridge University PressMathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2016-09-09)
    We study the variation of the $\phi$-Selmer groups of the elliptic curves y$^2$ = x$^3$ − Dx under quartic twists by square-free integers. We obtain a complete description of the distribution of the size of this group when ...

  • An introduction to applications of wavelet benchmarking with seasonal adjustment 

    Sayal, Homesh; Aston, John A. D.; Elliott, Duncan (WileyJournal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A (Statistics in Society), 2016-11-05)
    Before adjustment, low and high frequency data sets from national accounts are frequently inconsistent. Benchmarking is the procedure used by economic agencies to make such data sets consistent. It typically involves ...

  • Automorphy of some residually S$_5$ Galois representations 

    Khare, Chandrashekhar B.; Thorne, Jack A. (SpringerMathematische Zeitschrift, 2016)
    Let $\textit{F}$ be a totally real field and $\textit{p}$ an odd prime. We prove an automorphy lifting theorem for geometric representations $\rho$ : $\textit{G}_F$ → GL$_2$($\bar{\Bbb Q}_p$) which lift irreducible residual ...

  • The augmented base locus of real divisors over arbitrary fields 

    Birkar, Caucher (SpringerMathematische Annalen, 2016-07-08)
    We show that the augmented base locus coincides with the exceptional locus (i.e., null locus) for any nef $\Bbb R$-Cartier divisor on any scheme projective over a field (of any characteristic). Next we prove a semi-ampleness ...

  • On the rigid cohomology of certain Shimura varieties. 

    Harris, Michael; Lan, Kai-Wen; Taylor, Richard; Thorne, Jack Arfon (SpringerResearch in the Mathematical Sciences, 2016)
    We construct the compatible system of $\textit{l}$-adic representations associated to a regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representation of GL$_{n}$ over a CM (or totally real) field and check local-global compatibility ...

  • Tests for separability in nonparametric covariance operators of random surfaces 

    Aston, John Alexander; Pigoli, Davide; Tavakoli, Shahin (Institute of Mathematical StatisticsAnnals of Statistics, 2016)
    The assumption of separability of the covariance operator for a random image or hypersurface can be of substantial use in applications, especially in situations where the accurate estimation of the full covariance structure ...

  • Injectivity and Stability for a Generic Class of Generalized Radon Transforms 

    Homan, Andrew; Zhou, Hanming (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 ...

  • Peter Hall’s Work on High-Dimensional Data and Classification 

    Samworth, Richard John (Institute of Mathematical StatisticsAnnals of Statistics, 2016)
    In this article, I summarise Peter Hall’s contributions to high-dimensional data, including their geometric representations and variable selection methods based on ranking. I also discuss his work on classification problems, ...

  • Brownian motion correlation in the peanosphere for κ >8 

    Gwynne, E; Holden, N; Miller, Jason Peter; Sun, X (ElsevierAnnales de l'institut Henri Poincare (B) Probability and Statistics, 2017-11-01)
    The peanosphere (or "mating of trees") construction of Duplantier, Miller, and Sheffield encodes certain types of $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surfaces ($\gamma \in (0,2)$) decorated with an independent ...

  • A Fully Automatic Theorem Prover with Human-Style Output 

    Ganesalingam, M; Gowers, William Timothy (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.

  • Homological Stability for Spaces of Embedded Surfaces 

    Moran, Federico Cantero; Randal-Williams, Oscar (Mathematical Sciences PublisherGeometry & Topology, 2016)
    We study the space of oriented genus $\textit{g}$ subsurfaces of a fixed manifold $\textit{M}$, and in particular its homological properties. We construct a “scanning map” which compares this space to the space of sections ...

    Newton, James; Thorne, Jack Arfon (Cambridge University PressForum of Mathematics, Sigma, 2016-07-21)

    Kim, Arlene KH; Samworth, Richard John (Institute of Mathematical StatisticsAnnals of Statistics, 2016)
    The estimation of a log-concave density on $\Bbb R$$^d$ represents a central problem in the area of nonparametric inference under shape constraints. In this paper, we study the performance of log-concave density estimators ...
