Eight different refinements of trapped surfaces are proposed, of three basic types, each intended as potential stability conditions. Minimal trapped surfaces are strictly minimal with respect to the dual expansion vector. Outer trapped surfaces have positivity of a certain curvature, related to surface gravity. Increas…
In Lorentzian manifolds of any dimension the concept of causal tensors is introduced. Causal tensors have positivity properties analogous to the so-called ``dominant energy condition''. Further, it is shown how to build, from ANY given tensor A, a new tensor quadratic in A and ``positive'', in the sense that it is …
This paper presents a novel data-driven technique based on the spatiotemporal pattern network (STPN) for energy/power prediction for complex dynamical systems. Built on symbolic dynamic filtering, the STPN framework is used to capture not only the individual system characteristics but also the pair-wise causal dependen…
We show that the causal-future-directed character of the energy-momentum vector of n-dimensional asymptotically hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds with spherical conformal infinity, n≥3, can be traced back to that of asymptotically Euclidean general-relativistic initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy cond…
Energy game-theoretic frameworks have emerged to be a successful strategy to encourage energy efficient behavior in large scale by leveraging human-in-the-loop strategy. A number of such frameworks have been introduced over the years which formulate the energy saving process as a competitive game with appropriate incen…
We show that K-energy minimizing movements agree with smooth solutions to Calabi flow as long as the latter exist. As corollaries we conclude that in a general Kahler class long time solutions of Calabi flow minimize both K-energy and Calabi energy. Lastly, by applying convergence results from the theory of minimizing …
We define a new class of knot energies (known as renormalization energies) and prove that a broad class of these energies are uniquely minimized by the round circle. Most of O'Hara's knot energies belong to this class. This proves two conjectures of O'Hara and of Freedman, He, and Wang. We also find energies not minimi…
In relativity, the energy of a moving particle depends on the observer, and the rest mass is the minimal energy seen among all observers. The Wang-Yau quasi-local mass for a surface in spacetime introduced in [7] and [8] is defined by minimizing quasi-local energy associated with admissible isometric embeddings of the …
We consider the task of causal structure learning over measurement dependence inducing latent (MeDIL) causal models. We show that this task can be framed in terms of the graph theoretic problem of finding edge clique covers,resulting in an algorithm for returning minimal MeDIL causal models (minMCMs). This algorithm is…
We investigate a discrete version of the Möbius energy, that is of geometric interest in its own right and is defined on equilateral polygons with n segments. We show that the Γ-limit regarding Lq or W1,q convergence, q∈[1,∞] of these energies as n→∞ is the smooth Möbius energy. This re…

We study the converse to the statement that instantons are minimizers of the Yang--Mills energy in four dimensions. We show that given an energy minimizing connection, A, the curvature of A takes values in a subbundle of the adjoint bundle which decomposes as a sum of instantons.
One important effect of price shocks in the United States has been increased political attention paid to the structure and performance of oil and natural gas markets, along with some governmental support for energy conservation. This paper describes how price changes helped lead the emergence of a political agenda acco…
