We consider a short time existence problem motivated by a conjecture of Joyce in [8]. Specifically we prove that given any compact Lagrangian L ⊂ C^n with a finite number of singularities, each asymptotic to a pair of ...

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. ...

Variable order Markov chains have been used to model discrete sequential data in a variety of fields. A host of methods exist to estimate the history-dependent lengths of memory which characterize these models and to predict ...

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.

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 ...

We introduce a norm on the space of test configurations, called the minimum norm. We conjecture that uniform K-stability is equivalent to the existence of a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric. This uniformity is ...

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 ...

Kac’s d dimensional model gives a linear, many particle, binary collision model from which, under suitable conditions, the celebrated Boltzmann equation, in its spatially homogeneous form, arise as a mean field limit. The ...

We present a refinement of a known entropic inequality on the sphere, finding suitable conditions under which the uniform probability measure on the sphere behaves asymptomatically like the Gaussian measure on Rᴺ with ...

In this paper we present a new local Lévy Central Limit Theorem, showing convergence to stable states that are not necessarily the Gaussian, and use it to find new and intuitive entropically chaotic families with underlying ...

In this paper we take an idea presented in recent paper by Carlen, Carvalho, Le Roux, Loss, and Villani ([3]) and push it one step forward to find an exact estimation on the entropy production. The new estimation essentially ...

The sharp trace inequality of José Escobar is extended to traces for the fractional Laplacian on Rⁿ and a complete characterization of cases of equality is discussed. The proof proceeds via Fourier transform and uses Lieb’s ...

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 ...

The simplest case of the Langlands functoriality principle asserts the existence of the symmetric powers Symn of a cuspidal representation of GL.2/ over the adèles of F , where F is a number field. In 1978, Gelbart and ...

We prove a ‘minimal’ type automorphy lifting theorem for 2-adic Galois representations of unitary type, over imaginary CM fields. We use this to improve an automorphy lifting theorem of Kisin for GL_2.

We study regularity properties of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the complex Homogeneous Monge-Ampere equation. We show that for certain boundary data on P^1 the solution Φ to this Dirichlet problem is connected ...

This thesis studies the structure of categories of polynomials, the diagrams that represent polynomial functors. Specifically, we construct new models of intensional dependent type theory based on these categories. Firstly, ...

We introduce a notion of stability for sheaves with respect to several polarisations that generalises the usual notion of Gieseker-stability. We prove, under a boundedness assumption, which we show to hold on threefolds ...

We study in this paper Hida's p-adic Hecke algebra for GL_n over a CM field F. Hida has made a conjecture about the dimension of these Hecke algebras, which he calls the non-abelian Leopoldt conjecture, and shown that his ...
