New model reduces bias in cosmic shear measurements.
Cosmic shear is a primary cosmological probe for several present and upcoming surveys investigating dark matter and dark energy, such as Euclid or WFIRST. The probe requires an extremely accurate measurement of the shapes of millions of galaxies based on imaging data. Crucially, the shear measurement must address and c…

Invariants of braids found using shear coordinates in hyperbolic geometry.
Bounding shears in ideal triangulations on hyperbolic surfaces.
Thurston introduced shear deformations (cataclysms) on geodesic laminations - deformations including left and right displacements along geodesics. For hyperbolic surfaces with cusps, we consider shear deformations on disjoint unions of ideal geodesics. The length of a balanced weighted sum of ideal geodesics is defined…
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…
Study counts orbits of mapping class group in shearing coordinates.
Penrose's conjecture links black holes and gravitational singularities.
The twist construction is a method to build new interesting examples of geometric structures with torus symmetry from well-known ones. In fact it can be used to construct arbitrary nilmanifolds from tori. In our previous paper, we presented a generalization of the twist, a shear construction of rank one, which allowed …
We parametrize the space of Zygmund vector fields on the unit circle in terms of infinitesimal shear functions on the Farey tesselation. Then we express the Hilbert transform and the Fourier coefficients of the Zygmund vector fields in terms of the above parametrization by infinitesimal shear functions. F…
Proves weak cosmic censorship for a specific Einstein-scalar field system in 2+1 dimensions.
Bayesian Monte-Carlo method assesses uncertainty in shear stress entropy models.
Modeling the Point Spread Function (PSF) of wide-field surveys is vital for many astrophysical applications and cosmological probes including weak gravitational lensing. The PSF smears the image of any recorded object and therefore needs to be taken into account when inferring properties of galaxies from astronomical i…
Twisted local systems on surfaces of finite type appear often in geometry and physics. Most of them arise geometrically as local systems of charts for pleated hyperbolic structures. Bonahon and Thurston's "shear-bend coordinates" parameterize these local systems of charts. On a surface …
Proposes a weaker version of Strong Cosmic Censorship with curvature bounds.
Geodesic patterns, shears, and Anosov representations of the modular group.
The twist construction is a geometric model of T-duality that includes constructions of nilmanifolds from tori. This paper shows how one-dimensional foliations on manifolds may be used in a shear construction, which in algebraic form builds certain solvable Lie groups from Abelian ones. We discuss other examples of geo…
Link between Teichmüller and anti de Sitter geometry via length functions.
We give parameterizations of homeomorphisms, quasisymmetric maps and symmetric maps of the unit circle in terms of shear coordinates for the Farey tesselation.
This paper addresses strong cosmic censorship for spacetimes with self-gravitating collisionless matter, evolving from surface-symmetric compact initial data. The global dynamics exhibit qualitatively different features according to the sign of the curvature of the symmetric surfaces and the cosmological constant $…
A new proof shows how to characterize maps using simple geometry.
Sparse regression models CMs from oscillatory shear data efficiently.
We consider how microlocal methods developed for tomographic problems can be used to detect singularities of the Lorentzian metric of the Universe using measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. The physical model we study is mathematically rigorous but highly idealized.
We explore the use of random forest and gradient boosting, two powerful tree-based machine learning algorithms, for the detection of cosmic strings in maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), through their unique Gott-Kaiser-Stebbins effect on the temperature anisotropies.The information in the maps is compressed…
Shear stress distribution prediction in open channels is of utmost importance in hydraulic structural engineering as it directly affects the design of stable channels. In this study, at first, a series of experimental tests were conducted to assess the shear stress distribution in prismatic compound channels. The shear…

Classifies two-step solvable Lie groups with SKT structures.
Dark matter in the universe evolves through gravity to form a complex network of halos, filaments, sheets and voids, that is known as the cosmic web. Computational models of the underlying physical processes, such as classical N-body simulations, are extremely resource intensive, as they track the action of gravity in …
We present a procedure for asymptotic gluing of hyperboloidal initial data sets that preserves the shear-free condition. Our construction is modeled on a previous gluing construction by the last three named authors, but with significant modifications that incorporate the shear-free condition. We rely on the special Höl…
Shear moves connect square-tiled surfaces in quadratic differentials.
Study quasisymmetric maps on hyperbolic plane boundaries.
Given a semi-Riemannian manifold, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Riemannian submanifold of arbitrary co-dimension to be umbilical along normal directions. We do that by using the so-called \emph{total shear tensor}, i.e., the trace-free part of the second fundamental form. We define the \emph{shear s…
Enhanced Teichmüller space for surfaces with decorations and enhancements.
Abstract: Poisson bracket on shear coordinates relates to Fenchel-Nielsen bracket on gluing parameters.
We show that any polyhomogeneous asymptotically hyperbolic constant-mean-curvature solution to the vacuum Einstein constraint equations can be approximated, arbitrarily closely in Hölder norms determined by the physical metric, by shear-free smoothly conformally compact vacuum initial data.
We prove that shear-free perfect fluid solutions of Einstein's field equations must be either expansion-free or non-rotating (as conjectured by Treciokas and Ellis) for all linear equations of state except for six values of .
We start by describing how ideal triangulations on a surface degenerate under pinching of a multicurve. We use this process to construct a homomorphism from the Ptolemy groupoid of a surface to that of a pinched surface which is natural with respect to the action of the mapping class group. We then apply this construct…
Geometric model of unbounded sl3 laminations with tropical coordinates.
We show that the length function of a measured geodesic lamination is convex in Thurston's shear coordinates over Teichmüller space and strictly convex for generic laminations. We give some consequences of this result in the context of Thurston's asymmetric metric on Teichmüller space.

The large-scale structure of the universe is comprised of virialized blob-like clusters, linear filaments, sheet-like walls and huge near empty three-dimensional voids. Characterizing the large scale universe is essential to our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies. The density range of clusters, wa…
