We study the exponential Hilbert series (both coarsely- and finely-graded) of
the Stanley-Reisner ring of an abstract simplicial complex, Δ, and we
introduce the e-vector of Δ, which relates to the coefficients of the
expone...
On a scalar field of time and electromagnetism
June 13, 2018

General Physics
It is possible to describe a universal scalar field of time but not a
universal coordinate of time and to attribute its non-geodesic alignment to the
electromagnetic phenomena. A very surprising outcome is that not only mass
generates gravi...

Stochastic inverse problems considered in this article consist of estimating
the probability distributions of intrinsically random inputs of computer
models. These estimations are based on observable outputs affected by model
noise, and suc...
Mixed ℓ-adic complexes for schemes over number fields
June 8, 2018
Mathematics
Algebraic Geometry
If X is a variety over a number field, Annette Huber has defined a category
of "horizontal" (or "almost everywhere unramified") ℓ-adic complexes and
ℓ-adic perverse sheaves on X. For such objects, the notion of weights
makes s...

InBi(001) is formed epitaxially on InAs(111)-A by depositing Bi on to an
In-rich surface. Angle-resolved photoemission measurements reveal topological
electronic surface states, close to the M bar high symmetry point. This
demonstrates a he...

Comparing counterfactual distributions can provide more nuanced and valuable
measures for causal effects, going beyond typical summary statistics such as
averages. In this work, we consider characterizing causal effects via

Starting from the global financial crisis to the more recent disruptions

Fast Polynomial Root-Finding and Approximation of the Eigenvalues of a
Matrix
May 30, 2018

Numerical Analysis
Univariate polynomial root-finding has been studied for four millennia and
very intensively in the last decades. Our new near-optimal root-finders
approximate all zeros of a polynomial p almost as fast as one accesses its
coefficients with ...
The convex hull of a convex space curve with four vertices

We obtain an upper bound for the volume of the convex hull of a simple closed
Frenet curve having exactly four vertices, i.e., four points of vanishing
torsion, and lying on the boundary of its convex hull. Moreover, we show that
the upper ...
Tilting Approximate Models

Model approximations are common practice when estimating structural or
quasi-structural models. The paper considers the econometric properties of
estimators that utilize projections to reimpose information about the exact
model in the form ...
