We embed triangulated categories defined by quivers with potential arising from ideal triangulations of marked bordered surfaces into Fukaya categories of quasiprojective 3–folds associated to meromorphic quadratic ...

This work investigates the dynamics of magnetic flows on closed orientable Riemannian surfaces. These flows are determined by triples (M, g, σ), where M is the surface, g is the metric and σ is a 2-form on M . Such dynamical ...

The present thesis deals with the mathematical treatment of kinetic theory and focuses more precisely on the Boltzmann equation. We investigate several properties of the solutions to the latter equation: their positivity ...

We study the geometry underlying the difference between nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares. The hypersurfaces that discriminate these two cones for ternary sextics and quaternary quartics are shown to be ...

We introduce a notion of ampleness for subschemes of any codimension using the theory of q-ample line bundles. We also investigate certain geometric properties satisfied by ample subvarieties, e.g. the Lefschetz ...

This thesis is devoted to the study of excitations in atomic and polariton Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). These two specimens are prime examples for equilibrium and non equilibrium BEC. The corresponding condensate wave ...

In the econometrics of financial time series, it is customary to take some parametric model for the data, and then estimate the parameters from historical data. This approach suffers from several problems. Firstly, how is ...

High-dimensional optimal investment/consumption problems are hard to deal with, not least because of the difficulty in characterizing the value function. This paper tries to offer ways to determine an approximately optimal ...

In this paper we solve the hedge fund manager’s optimization problem in a model that allows for investors to enter and leave the fund over time depending on its performance. The manager’s payoff at the end of the year will ...

Helfgott proved that there exists a δ > 0 such that if S is a symmetric generating subset of SL(2, p)containing 1 then either S^3=SL(2, p)or |S^3| ≥|S|^1+ δ. It is known that δ ≥ 1/3024. Here we show that δ ≤ (log_2 (7) ...

We prove that moduli spaces of meromorphic quadratic differentials with simple zeroes on compact Riemann surfaces can be identified with spaces of stability conditions on a class of CY3 triangulated categories defined using ...

Financial Mathematics is often presented as being composed of two main branches: one dealing with investment and consumption, with the aim of answering the now ancient question of how people should invest and spend their ...

We give examples of closed orientable graph 3-manifolds having a fundamental group which is not a subgroup of GL(4, F) for any field F. This answers a question in the Kirby problem list from 1977 which is credited to the ...

We prove that moduli spaces of meromorphic quadratic differentials with simple zeroes on compact Riemann surfaces can be identified with spaces of stability conditions on a class of CY3 triangulated categories defined using ...

A symplectic manifold gives rise to a triangulated A∞-category, the derived Fukaya category, which encodes information on Lagrangian submanifolds and dynamics as probed by Floer cohomology. This survey aims to give some ...

In this dissertation we consider several extremal and probabilistic problems in bootstrap percolation on various families of graphs, including grids, hypercubes and trees. Bootstrap percolation is one of the simplest ...

In the post-war years, the theory of 3-dimensional manifolds has developed tremendously. On the one hand, Bing and Moise have proved that 3-manifolds can be triangulated, and that the Hauptvermutung (that any two triangulations ...

This work constructs and compares different kinds of categorified cohomology of a locally contractible topological space X. Fix a commutative ring k of characteristic 0 and also denote by k the differential graded category ...

This thesis was motivated by data from the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (ERFC), a large individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis of risk factors for coronary heart disease(CHD). Cardiovascular disease is the ...
