Symmetries of spaces with lower curvature bounds
(American Mathematical Society, 4/1/2023)[No abstract available] -
Manifolds with nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind
(World Scientific Publishing Co., 2023-01-13)We investigate the curvature operator of the second kind on Riemannian manifolds and prove several classification results. The first one asserts that a closed Riemannian manifold with three-positive curvature operator of ... -
Modeling the spread of the Coronavirus
(Wichita State University, 5/3/2020)This talk will introduce statistical modeling concepts relating to prediction of COVID rates at a county level and specifically introduce the notion of spatial correlation, which recognizes that there is a connection between ... -
Computing the logarithmic capacity of compact sets having (infinitely) many components with the charge simulation method
(Springer Link, 2023-02-28)We apply the charge simulation method (CSM) in order to compute the logarithmic capacity of compact sets consisting of (infinitely) many “small” components. This application allows to use just a single charge point for ... -
Concept for a space-based near-solar neutrino detector
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-04-01)The concept of putting a neutrino detector in close orbit of the Sun has been unexplored until very recently. The primary scientific return is to vastly enhance our understanding of the solar interior, which is a major ... -
Eigenvalue estimates on Quaternion-Kähler manifolds
(Springer, 2023-01-09)We prove lower bound estimates for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a compact quaternion-Kähler manifold. For the closed or Neumann case, the lower bounds depend on dimension, diameter, and lower bound of ... -
Numerical computation of a preimage domain for an infinite strip with rectilinear slits
(Springer Link, 2023-01-16)Let Ω be the multiply connected domain in the extended complex plane $\overline {\mathbb {C}}$obtained by removing m non-overlapping rectilinear segments from the infinite strip $S=\{z : \left |\text {Im} z\right |<\pi ... -
Development of a neutrino detector capable of operating in space
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-02-01)The vSOL experiment to operate a neutrino detector close to the Sun is building a small test detector to orbit the Earth to test the concept in space. This detector concept is to provide a new way to detect neutrinos ... -
Strong local nondeterminism and exact modulus of continuity for isotropic Gaussian random fields on compact two-point homogeneous spaces
(Springer International Publishing, 2023-01-03)This paper is concerned with sample path properties of real-valued isotropic Gaussian fields on compact two-point homogeneous spaces. In particular, we establish the property of strong local nondeterminism of an isotropic ... -
An adaptive multiresolution ultra-weak discontinuous Galerkin method for nonlinear Schrödinger equations
(Springer Link, 2021-01-25)This paper develops a high-order adaptive scheme for solving nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The solutions to such equations often exhibit solitary wave and local structures, which make adaptivity essential in improving ... -
Manifolds with $4\frac{1}{2}$-Positive Curvature Operator of the Second Kind
(Springer Nature, 2022-08-04)We show that a closed four-manifold with $4\frac{1}{2}$-positive curvature operator of the second kind is diffeomorphic to a spherical space form. The curvature assumption is sharp as both ${\mathbb{CP}\mathbb{}}^2$and ... -
Vector random fields on the probability simplex with metric-dependent covariance matrix functions
(Springer Nature, 2022-12-01)This paper constructs a class of isotropic vector random fields on the probability simplex via infinite series expansions involving the ultraspherical polynomials, whose covariance matrix functions are functions of the ... -
Level sets of potential functions bisecting unbounded quadrilaterals
(Birkhauser, 2022-11-10)We study the mixed Dirichlet–Neumann problem for the Laplace equation in the complement of a bounded convex polygonal quadrilateral in the extended complex plane. The Dirichlet/ Neumann conditions at opposite pairs of sides ... -
Separation of track- and shower-like energy deposits in ProtoDUNE-SP using a convolutional neural network
(Springer Link, 2022-10-12)Liquid argon time projection chamber detector technology provides high spatial and calorimetric resolutions on the charged particles traversing liquid argon. As a result, the technology has been used in a number of recent ... -
Positively curved Riemannian orbifolds and Alexandrov apaces with circle aymmetry in Dimension 4
(Deutsche Mathematiker Vereinigung, 2021-10-01)We classify positively curved Alexandrov spaces of dimension 4 with an isometric circle action up to equivariant homeomorphism, subject to a certain additional condition on the infinitesimal geometry near fixed points which ... -
Positive (p,n)-intermediate scalar curvature and cobordism
(Elsevier, 2022-11-01)In this paper we consider a well-known construction due to Gromov and Lawson, Schoen and Yau, Gajer, and Walsh which allows for the extension of a metric of positive scalar curvature over the trace of a surgery in codimension ... -
Opportunities for nitrogen-vacancy-Assisted magnetometry to study magnetism in 2D van der Waals magnets
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2022-08-08)Exploring and understanding magnetism in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials present a promising route for developing high-speed and low-power spintronics devices. Studying their magnetic properties ... -
Improved measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters by the NOvA experiment
(American Physical Society, 2022-08-03)We present new ν μ → ν e , ν μ → ν μ , ¯ ν μ → ¯ ν e , and ¯ ν μ → ¯ ν μ oscillation measurements by the NOvA experiment, with a 50% increase in neutrino-mode beam exposure over the previously ... -
Cluster analysis: A modern statistical review
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022-08-19)Cluster analysis is a big, sprawling field. This review paper cannot hope to fully survey the territory. Instead, it focuses on hierarchical agglomerative clustering, k-means clustering, mixture models, and then several ... -
