On the rigid cohomology of certain Shimura varieties.
(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
(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
(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
(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, ...

Spectral study of the Laplace-Beltrami operator arising in the problem of acoustic wave scattering by a quarter-plane
(Oxford University PressQuarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, 2016)The Laplace-Beltrami operator on a sphere with a cut arises when considering the problem of wave scattering by a quarter-plane. Recent methods developed for sound-soft (Dirichlet) and sound-hard (Neumann) quarter-planes ...

Brownian motion correlation in the peanosphere for κ >8
(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 ...

Equivariant semidefinite lifts of regular polygons
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management SciencesMathematics of Operations Research, 2017-05-01)Given a polytope P in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we say that P has a positive semidefinite lift (psd lift) of size d if one can express P as the linear projection of an affine slice of the positive semidefinite cone $\mathbf{S}^d_+$. ...

Phoretic flow induced by asymmetric confinement
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016-06-28)Internal phoretic flows due to the interactions of solid boundaries with local chemical gradients may be created using chemical patterning. Alternatively, we demonstrate here that internal flows might also be induced by ...

Black Hole Kicks as New Gravitational Wave Observables
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2016-06-29)Generic black hole binaries radiate gravitational waves anisotropically, imparting a recoil, or kick, velocity to the merger remnant. If a component of the kick along the line of sight is present, gravitational waves emitted ...

Higher symmetries of the Schrödinger operator in Newton–Cartan geometry
(ElsevierJournal of Geometry and Physics, 2016-06-17)We establish several relationships between the non-relativistic conformal symmetries of Newton–Cartan geometry and the Schrödinger equation. In particular we discuss the algebra sch(d) of vector fields conformally-preserving ...

Flagellar flows around bacterial swarms
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2016)Flagellated bacteria on nutrient-rich substrates can differentiate into a swarming state and move in dense swarms across surfaces. A recent experiment measured the flow in the fluid around an Escherichia coli swarm (Wu, ...

How far from equilibrium is active matter?
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2016)Active matter systems are driven out of thermal equilibrium by a lack of generalized Stokes-Einstein relation between injection and dissipation of energy at the microscopic scale. We consider such a system of interacting ...

Tunnelling effects for acoustic waves in slowly varying axisymmetric flow ducts
(ElsevierJournal of Sound and Vibration, 2016-06-22)The multiple-scales Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximation is used to model the propagation of acoustic waves in an axisymmetric duct with a constriction in the presence of mean flow. An analysis of the reflection ...

Instabilities and Solitons in Minimal Strips
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2016-07-01)We show that highly twisted minimal strips can undergo a nonsingular transition, unlike the singular transitions seen in the Möbius strip and the catenoid. If the strip is nonorientable, this transition is topologically ...

PRECESSION: Dynamics of spinning black-hole binaries with python
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2016-06-27)We present the numerical code precession, a new open-source python module to study the dynamics of precessing black-hole binaries in the post-Newtonian regime. The code provides a comprehensive toolbox to (i) study the ...

Directed collective motion of bacteria under channel confinement
(Institute of PhysicsNew Journal of Physics, 2016-07-01)Dense suspensions of swimming bacteria are known to exhibit collective behaviour arising from the interplay of steric and hydrodynamic interactions. Unconfined suspensions exhibit transient, recurring vortices and jets, ...

Non-trivial Phase Coupling in Polariton Multiplets
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review X, 2016)We investigate the phase coupling between spatially separated polariton condensates under non-resonant optical pulsed excitation. In the simple case of two condensates, we observe phase locking either in symmetric or ...

Quantifying eddy feedbacks and forcings in the tropospheric response to stratospheric sudden warmings
(American Meteorological SocietyJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2016-08-26)The equatorward shift of the zonal mean midlatitude tropospheric jet following a stratospheric sudden warming in a comprehensive, stratosphere-resolving model is found to be well quantified by a simple model, due to Lorenz ...

Stochastic cycle selection in active flow networks
(National Academy of Sciences of the USAProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016)Active biological flow networks pervade nature and span a wide range of scales, from arterial blood vessels and bronchial mucus transport in humans to bacterial flow through porous media or plasmodial shuttle streaming in ...
