Directed mean curvature flow in noisy environment

Martin Hairer

We consider the directed mean curvature flow on the plane in a weak Gaussian random environment. We prove that, when started from a sufficiently flat initial condition, a rescaled and recentred solution converges to the Cole-Hopf solution of the KPZ equati ...

A new method for lattice reduction using directional and hyperplanar shearing

Cyril Cayron

A geometric method of lattice reduction based on cycles of directional and hyperplanar shears is presented. The deviation from cubicity at each step of the reduction is evaluated by a parameter called 'basis rhombicity' which is the sum of the absolute val ...

Conformal 3-Point Functions and the Lorentzian OPE in Momentum Space

Marc Gillioz

In conformal field theory in Minkowski momentum space, the 3-point correlation functions of local operators are completely fixed by symmetry. Using Ward identities together with the existence of a Lorentzian operator product expansion (OPE), we show that t ...

A Gauss-Bonnet Theorem for Asymptotically Conical Manifolds and Manifolds with Conical Singularities

Adrien Giuliano Marcone

The purpose of this thesis is to provide an intrinsic proof of a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for complete Riemannian manifolds with finitely many conical singularities and asymptotically conical ends. A geometric invariant is associated to the link of both ...

Robust Maximization of Non-Submodular Objectives

Volkan Cevher, Ilija Bogunovic

We study the problem of maximizing a monotone set function subject to a cardinality constraint k in the setting where some number of elements is deleted from the returned set. The focus of this work is on the worst-case adversarial setting. While there exi ...

Enforcing Model Adequacy in Real-Time Optimization via Dedicated Parameter Adaptation

Dominique Bonvin, Martand Singhal

Iterative real-time optimization schemes that employ modifier adaptation add bias and gradient correction terms to the model that is used for optimization. These affine corrections lead to meeting the first-order necessary conditions of optimality of the p ...

Gaussian Curvature as an Identifier of Shell Rigidity

Davit Harutyunyan

In the paper we deal with shells with non-zero Gaussian curvature. We derive sharp Korn's first (linear geometric rigidity estimate) and second inequalities on that kind of shell for zero or periodic Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin type boundary conditions. ...

Weyl vs. conformal

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

In this note we show that given a conformally invariant theory in flat space-time, it is not always possible to couple it to gravity in a Weyl invariant way. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY li ...

Weyl and Ricci gauging from the coset construction

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

In this paper we demonstrate how, using the coset construction, a theory can be systematically made Weyl invariant by gauging the scale symmetry. We show that an analog of the inverse Higgs constraint allows the elimination of the Weyl vector (gauge) field ...

Scale-invariant alternatives to general relativity. II. Dilaton properties

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Georgios Karananas

In the present paper, we revisit gravitational theories which are invariant under TDiffs-transverse (volume-preserving) diffeomorphisms and global scale transformations. It is known that these theories can be rewritten in an equivalent diffeomorphism-invar ...

Superspace formulation of the local RG equation

Boaz Keren Zur

We present the superspace formulation of the local RG equation, a framework for the study of supersymmetric RG flows in which the constraints of holomorphy and R-symmetry are manifest. We derive the consistency conditions associated with super-Weyl symmetr ...

The connectivity at infinity of a manifold and Sobolev inequalities

Marc Troyanov

The purpose of this paper is to give a self-contained proof that a complete manifold with more than one end never supports an L-q,L-p-Sobolev inequality (2

Wave dispersion in periodic post-buckled structures

Alessandro Spadoni, Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Wave propagation in pinned-supported, post-buckled beams can be described with the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation. Finite-element simulations however show that the KdV is applicable only to post-buckled beams with strong pre-compression. For weak and mod ...

On the size and shape of initial out-of-plane curvatures in structural glass components

Andreas Luible

For many structural glass components, buckling is known to be a major design issue, which is influenced significantly by several parameters. The latter include boundary conditions, slenderness and geometrical imperfections, in particular initial curvatures ...

Déformations conformes des variétés de Finsler-Ehresmann

Ratiba Djelid

An intrinsic approach to Finsler geometry is proposed. A concept of Finsler- Ehresmann manifold, denoted by (M,F,H), is introduced and a generalized Chern connection is built for this manifold. Conformal deformations on this manifold are considered. First, ...

Constraints from F and D supersymmetry breaking in general supergravity theories

Claudio Scrucca

We study the conditions under which a generic supergravity model involving chiral and vector multiplets can admit vacua with spontaneously broken supersymmetry and realistic cosmological constant. We find that the existence of such viable vacua implies som ...

Metastable supergravity vacua with F and D supersymmetry breaking

Claudio Scrucca

We study the conditions under which a generic supergravity model involving chiral and vector multiplets can admit viable metastable vacua with spontaneously broken supersymmetry and realistic cosmological constant. To do so, we impose that on the vacuum th ...

Purely numerical compensation for microscope objective phase curvature in digital holographic microscopy: influence of digital phase mask position

Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Tristan Colomb, Etienne Cuche, Florian Charrière, Frédéric Montfort

Introducing a microscope objective in an interferometric setup induces a phase curvature on the resulting wavefront. In digital holography, the compensation of this curvature is often done by introducing an identical curvature in the reference arm and the ...
