A More General Pandora Rule?
(ElsevierJournal of Economic Theory, 2015-11-02)
In a model introduced by Weitzman an agent called Pandora opens boxes sequentially, in whatever order she likes, discovers prizes within, and optimally stops. Her aim is to maximize the expected value of the greatest ...
Optimal impartial selection
(Society for Industrial and Applied MathematicsSIAM Journal on Computing, 2015-10-20)
We study a fundamental problem in social choice theory, the selection of a member of a set of agents based on impartial nominations by agents from that set. Studied previously by Alon et al. [Proceedings of TARK, 2011, pp. ...
Critical behaviour in charging of electric vehicles
(IOP PublishingNew Journal of Physics, 2015-09-02)
The increasing penetration of electric vehicles over the coming decades, taken together with the high cost to upgrade local distribution networks and consumer demand for home charging, suggest that managing congestion on ...
The X-ray transform for connections in negative curvature
(SpringerCommunications in Mathematical Physics, 2015-11-23)
We consider integral geometry inverse problems for unitary connections and skew-Hermitian Higgs fields on manifolds with negative sectional curvature. The results apply to manifolds in any dimension, with or without boundary, ...
Remarks on motives of abelian type
(Tohoku Mathematical Journal, 2015-08-11)
A motive over a field k is of abelian type if it belongs to the thick and rigid subcategory of Chow motives spanned by the motives of abelian varieties over k. This paper contains three sections of independent interest. ...
Computing the Cassels-Tate pairing

Semi-continuity of stability for sheaves and variation of Gieseker moduli spaces
(De GruyterJournal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 2016)
We investigate a semi-continuity property for stability conditions for sheaves that is important for the problem of variation of the moduli spaces as the stability condition changes. We place this in the context of a notion ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
