For asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds of dimension nn with scalar curvature at least equal to n(n1)-n(n-1) the conjectured positive mass theorem states that the mass is non-negative, and vanishes only if the manifold is isometric to hyperbolic space. In this paper we study asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds which are …

Given a Riemannian 3-ball (Bˉ,g)(\bar B, g) of non-negative scalar curvature, Bartnik conjectured that (Bˉ,g)(\bar B, g) admits an asymptotically flat (AF) extension (without horizons) of the least possible ADM mass, and that such a mass-minimizer is an AF solution to the static vacuum Einstein equations, uniquely determined b…

We are concerned with obtaining novel concentration inequalities for the missing mass, i.e. the total probability mass of the outcomes not observed in the sample. We not only derive - for the first time - distribution-free Bernstein-like deviation bounds with sublinear exponents in deviation size for missing mass, but …

Given nn samples from a population of individuals belonging to different types with unknown proportions, how do we estimate the probability of discovering a new type at the (n+1)(n+1)-th draw? This is a classical problem in statistics, commonly referred to as the missing mass estimation problem. Recent results by Ohannes…

Mammography is the most effective and available tool for breast cancer screening. However, the low positive predictive value of breast biopsy resulting from mammogram interpretation leads to approximately 70% unnecessary biopsies with benign outcomes. Data mining algorithms could be used to help physicians in their dec…

Let MnM^n, n3n\ge3, be a compact differentiable manifold with nonpositive Yamabe invariant σ(M)σ(M). Suppose g0g_0 is a continuous metric with V(M,g0)=1V(M, g_0)=1, smooth outside a compact set ΣΣ, and is in Wloc1,pW^{1,p}_{loc} for some p>np>n.

The stability of physical systems depends on the existence of a state of least energy. In gravity, this is guaranteed by the positive energy theorem. For topological reasons this fails for nonsupersymmetric Kaluza-Klein compactifications, which can decay to arbitrarily negative energy. For related reasons, this also fa…

An index theorem for the anti-self-dual deformation complex on anti-self-dual orbifolds with singularities conjugate to ADE-type is proved.
