Defines Chern-Robinson connection on Robinson manifolds.

An energy estimate is proved for the Bel--Robinson energy along a constant mean curvature foliation in a spatially compact vacuum spacetime, assuming an $L^{\infty}$ bound on the second fundamental form, and a bound on a spacetime version of Bel--Robinson energy.

Develops DML for nonlinear panel data models with fixed effects.

Study on almost Robinson geometries, focusing on their intrinsic torsion and leaf space properties.

A Lorentzian manifold is defined here as a smooth pseudo-Riemannian manifold with a metric tensor of signature ((2n +1, 1)). A Robinson manifold is a Lorentzian manifold (M) of dimension (\geqslant 4) with a subbundle (N) of the complexification of (TM) such that the fibers of (N\to M) are maximal totally null (isotrop…

We give an extensive treatment of the Constant Mean Curvature (CMC) Einstein flow from the point of view of the Bel-Robinson energies. The article, in particular, stresses on estimates showing how the Bel-Robinson energies and the volume of the evolving states control intrinsically the flow along evolution. The treatme…

The curvature properties of Robinson-Trautman metric have been investigated. It is shown that Robinson-Trautman metric admits several kinds of pseudosymmetric type structures such as Weyl pseudosymmetric, Ricci pseudosymmetric, pseudosymmetric Weyl conformal curvature tensor etc. Also it is shown that the difference $R…

An almost Robinson structure on an $n$-dimensional Lorentzian manifold $(\mcM,g)$, where $n=2m+ε$, $ε\in \{ 0 ,1 \}$, is a complex $m$-plane distribution $\mcN$ that is totally null with respect to the complexified metric, and intersects its complex conjugate in a real null line distribution $\mcK$, say. When $\mcN$ an…

This is a survey of several approaches to the framework for working with infinitesimals and infinite numbers, originally developed by Abraham Robinson in the 1960s, and their constructive engagement with the Cantor-Dedekind postulate and the Intended Interpretation hypothesis. We highlight some applications including (…

The study examines Ricci solitons and curvature inheritance on Robinson-Trautman spacetimes.

In general relativity, the local gravitational energy is best characterised by the quasilocal mass. The small sphere limit of quasilocal mass provides us the most local notion of gravitational energy. In four dimensions, the limits were shown be the stress tensor in non-vacuum and the Bel-Robinson tensor in vacuum. We …

Paper proves uniqueness of black holes and photon surfaces in higher dimensions.

Estimates CATEs for structured treatments using a new decomposition method.

Active seriation recovers item order from noisy pairwise similarity measurements.

We study natural bases for two constructions of the irreducible representation of the symmetric group corresponding to $[n,n,n]$: the {\em reduced web} basis associated to Kuperberg's combinatorial description of the spider category; and the {\em left cell basis} for the left cell construction of Kazhdan and Lusztig. I…

Study of quasilocal energy in higher dimensions, focusing on small sphere limits.

We define the notion of Witt structure on the tangent bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold and we introduce a connection adapted to a such structure. The notions of geodesics and symmetric spaces are revisited in this setting and applications are given in the special cases of Robinson and Fefferman manifolds.

This is one in a series of papers devoted to the foundations of Symplectic Field Theory sketched in [Y Eliashberg, A Givental and H Hofer, Introduction to Symplectic Field Theory, Geom. Funct. Anal. Special Volume, Part II (2000) 560--673]. We prove compactness results for moduli spaces of holomorphic curves arising in…

The paper improves Fisher-Pitman tests for Poisson mixtures, detecting autism-related genes.

We solve the problem raised by Hsiang, Palais and Terng in [The topology of isoparametric submanifolds, JDG, 27(1988), 423-460]: Is it possible to have an isoparametric foliation on R^{52} whose marked Dynkin giagram is of type D_4 and with all multiplicities uniformly equal to 4?

We provide conditions for the existence and the unicity of strictly stationary solutions of the usual Dynamic Conditional Correlation GARCH models (DCC-GARCH). The proof is based on Tweedie's (1988) criteria, after having rewritten DCC-GARCH models as nonlinear Markov chains. Moreover, we study the existence of their f…

Study on list learning with noisy data, showing limits and some learnable cases.

Proposes a novel method to cluster individuals based on treatment effects.

Ehrenborg and Jung recently related the order complex for the lattice of d-divisible partitions with the simplicial complex of pointed ordered set partitions via a homotopy equivalence. The latter has top homology naturally identified as a Specht module. Their work unifies that of Calderbank, Hanlon, Robinson, and Wach…

We develop an equivariant min-max theory as proposed by Pitts-Rubinstein in 1988 and then show that it can produce many of the known minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^3$ up to genus and symmetry group. We also produce several new infinite families of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^3$ proposed by Pitts-Rubinstein. These …

Quantum memory limits set by relativity theory.

Study of optical geometries with intrinsic torsion in general relativity.

In this note, we compute the limit of the Wang-Yau quasi-local mass on unit spheres at spatial infinity of an asymptotically flat initial data set. Similar to the small sphere limit of the Wang-Yau quasi-local mass, we prove that the leading order term of the quasi-local mass recovers the stress-energy tensor. For a va…

Study reveals RL game's embedding space is stratified, not a manifold.

In this paper the unconditional stability of four well-known ADI schemes is analyzed in the application to time-dependent multidimensional diffusion equations with mixed derivative terms. Necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameter theta of each scheme are obtained that take into account the actual size of the…

We obtain expressions for the shear and the vorticity tensors of perfect-fluid spacetimes, in terms of the divergence of the Weyl tensor. For such spacetimes, we prove that if the gradient of the energy density is parallel to the velocity, then either the expansion rate is zero, or the vorticity vanishes. This statemen…

Robert Bryant (Theorie des varietes minimales et applications, 1988, 154: 321-347) proved that an isolated singularity of a conformal metric of positive constant curvature on a Riemann surface is a conical one. Using Complex Analysis, we find all of the local models for an isolated singularity of a flat metric whose ar…

We study a continuous-time version of the intermediation model of Grossman and Miller (1988). To wit, we solve for the competitive equilibrium prices at which liquidity takers' demands are absorbed by dealers with quadratic inventory costs, who can in turn gradually transfer these positions to an exogenous open market …

We construct 2^{Ω(n^{5/4})} combinatorial types of triangulated 3-spheres on n vertices. Since by a result of Goodman and Pollack (1986) there are no more than 2^{O(n log n)} combinatorial types of simplicial 4-polytopes, this proves that asymptotically, there are far more combinatorial types of triangulated 3-spheres …

We classify the volume preserving stable hypersurfaces in the real projective space $\mathbb{RP}^n$. As a consequence, the solutions of the isoperimetric problem are tubular neighborhoods of projective subspaces $\mathbb{RP}^k\subset \mathbb{RP}^n$ (starting with points). This confirms a conjecture of Burago and Zalgal…

We develop a fully Bayesian, computationally efficient framework for incorporating model uncertainty into Type II Tobit models and apply this to the investigation of the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). While direct evaluation of modelprobabilities is intractable in this setting, we show that by using c…

In this paper we quantitatively investigate the statistical properties of an ensemble of {\it stock prices}. We selected 1200 stocks traded in the Tokyo Stock Exchange and formed a statistical ensemble of daily stock prices for each trading day in the 5 year period from January 4, 1988 to December 30, 1992. We found th…

We present a definition of null G-structures on Lorentzian manifolds and investigate their geometric properties. This definition includes the Robinson structure on 4-dimensional black holes as well as the null structures that appear in all supersymmetric solutions of supergravity theories. We also identify the induced …

We uniquely and explicitly reconstruct the instantaneous intrinsic metric of the Kerr-Newman Event Horizon from the spectrum of its Laplacian. In the process we find that the angular momentum parameter, radius, area; and in the uncharged case, mass, can be written in terms of these eigenvalues. In the uncharged case th…

For a Riemannian closed spin manifold and under some topological assumption (non-zero $\hat{A}$-genus or enlargeability in the sense of Gromov-Lawson), we give an optimal upper bound for the infimum of the scalar curvature in terms of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian. The main difficulty lies in the study of the o…

An index theorem for the anti-self-dual deformation complex on anti-self-dual orbifolds with singularities conjugate to ADE-type is proved. In 1988, Claude Lebrun gave examples of scalar-flat Kähler ALE metrics with negative mass, on the total space of the bundle $\mathcal{O}(-n)$ over $S^2$. A corollary of this index …
