Mixed finite element methods solve a PDE using two or more variables. The theory of Discrete Exterior Calculus explains why the degrees of freedom associated to the different variables should be stored on both primal and dual domain meshes with a discrete Hodge star used to transfer information between the meshes. We s…

method Developed characterizations for positively homogeneous and star-shaped functionals, derived Kusuoka-type representations, and offered representations of general law-invariant star-shaped functionals.
result Characterizations of law-invariant star-shaped functionals, including their connections to Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall.
In X-ray binary star systems consisting of a compact object that accretes material from an orbiting secondary star, there is no straightforward means to decide if the compact object is a black hole or a neutron star. To assist this classification, we develop a Bayesian statistical model that makes use of the fact that …
During the last decade, a considerable amount of effort has been made to classify variable stars using different machine learning techniques. Typically, light curves are represented as vectors of statistical descriptors or features that are used to train various algorithms. These features demand big computational power…
We derive a formula expanding the bracket with respect to a natural deformation parameter. The expansion is in terms of a two-variable polynomial algebra of diagram resolutions generated by basic operations involving the Goldman bracket. A functorial characterization of this algebra is given. Differentiability properti…
In this article, we introduce the notion of star-Ricci tensors in the real hypersurfaces of complex quadric Qm. It is proved that there exist no Hopf hypersurfaces in Qm,m≥3, with commuting star-Ricci tensor or parallel star-Ricci tensor. As a generalization of star-Einstein metric, star-Ricci solitons on M …

problem Analyzing the structure of covariance matrices under graph constraints.
method We explore the algebraic structure of the solution space of convex optimization problem Constrained Minimum Trace Factor Analysis (CMTFA) under a latent star topology.
result CMTFA can have either a rank 1 or a rank n-1 solution, with conditions for both.
We study the extent to which the gauge symmetry of abelian Yang-Mills can be deformed under two conditions: first, that the deformation depend on a two-form scale. Second, that the deformation preserve supersymmetry. We show that (up to a single parameter) the only allowed deformation is the one determined by the star …
We compare the star surgery operations introduced in [KS] to the generalized rational blow-down. We show that star surgery shares the properties that make rational blow-down useful for constructions of small exotic symplectic 4-manifolds. Then we show that star surgery operations provide a strictly more general class o…
We derive a closed formula for a star-product on complex projective space and on the domain SU(n+1)/S(U(1)×U(n)) using a completely elementary construction: Starting from the standard star-product of Wick type on Cn+1∖{0} and performing a quantum analogue of Marsden-Weinstein reduction, we ca…

problem Finding prime closed characteristics on compact star-shaped hypersurfaces in 8D space.
method Proved existence of at least four prime closed characteristics for non-degenerate C3 compact star-shaped hypersurfaces in R8 without prime closed characteristics of Maslov-type index -1.
result Existence of at least four prime closed characteristics on compact star-shaped hypersurfaces in R8.
We define the notion of a formal connection for a smooth family of star products with fixed underlying symplectic structure. Such a formal connection allows one to relate star products at different points in the family. This generalizes the formal Hitchin connection introduced by the first author. We establish a necess…
We propose an explicit construction of the deformation quantization of the general second-class constrained system, which is covariant with respect to local coordinates on the phase space. The approach is based on constructing the effective first-class constraint (gauge) system equivalent to the original second-class o…
