Hopf algebras and Hopf-Galois extensions in infinity-categories

In this thesis, we study interactions between algebraic and coalgebraic structures in infinity-categories (more precisely, in the quasicategorical model of (infinity, 1)-categories). We define a notion of a Hopf algebra H in an E-2-monoidal infinity-catego ...

Homotopical relations between 2-dimensional categories and their infinity-analogues

Lyne Moser

In this thesis, we study the homotopical relations of 2-categories, double categories, and their infinity-analogues. For this, we construct homotopy theories for the objects of interest, and show that there are homotopically full embeddings of 2-categories ...

The cotangent complex and Thom spectra

Nima Rasekh

The cotangent complex of a map of commutative rings is a central object in deformation theory. Since the 1990s, it has been generalized to the homotopical setting of E-infinity-ring spectra in various ways. In this work we first establish, in the context o ...

Non-Wilson-Fisher kinks of O(N) numerical bootstrap: From the deconfined phase transition to a putative new family of CFTs

Ning Su

It is well established that the O(N) Wilson-Fisher (WF) CFT sits at a kink of the numerical bounds from bootstrapping four point function of O(N) vector. Moving away from the WF kinks, there indeed exists another family of kinks (dubbed non-WF kinks) on th ...

Extremal Eigenvalues Of The Dirichlet Biharmonic Operator On Rectangles

Davide Buoso

We study the behaviour of extremal eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator over rectangles with a given fixed area. We begin by proving that the principal eigenvalue is minimal for a rectangle for which the ratio between the longest and the shorte ...

On the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to parabolic variational inequalities

Maria Colombo

We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Lojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in the fact that, ...

Proximity Results and Faster Algorithms for Integer Programming Using the Steinitz Lemma

Friedrich Eisenbrand

We consider integer programming problems in standard form max{c(T)x : Ax = b, x >= 0, x is an element of Z(n)} where A is an element of Z(mxn), b is an element of Z(m), and c is an element of Z(n). We show that such an integer program can be solved in time ...

A data-driven approach to model-reference control with applications to particle accelerator power converters

Alireza Karimi, Achille Nicoletti, Michele Martino

A new model-reference data-driven approach is presented which uses the frequency response data of a system in order to avoid the problem of unmodeled dynamics associated with low-order parametric models. It is shown that a convex optimization problem can b ...

Existence and Non-uniqueness of Global Weak Solutions to Inviscid Primitive and Boussinesq Equations

Elisabetta Chiodaroli

We consider the initial value problem for the inviscid Primitive and Boussinesq equations in three spatial dimensions. We recast both systems as an abstract Eulertype system and apply the methods of convex integration of De Lellis and Székelyhidi to show t ...

Feynman-Kac representation for the parabolic Anderson model driven by fractional noise

Thomas Mountford, Kamran Kalbasi

We consider the parabolic Anderson model driven by fractional noise: partial derivative/partial derivative t u(t,x) = k Delta u(t,x) + u(t,x)partial derivative/partial derivative t W(t,x) x is an element of Z(d), t >= 0, where k > 0 is a diffusion constant ...

Some New Results On Differential Inclusions For Differential Forms

Bernard Dacorogna, Olivier Kneuss, Saugata Bandyopadhyay

In this article we study some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions in W-0(1,infinity) (Omega; Lambda(k)) of the differential inclusion d omega is an element of E a.e. in Omega where E subset of Lambda(k+1) is a prescribed set. ...

Sign changes of Kloosterman sums with almost prime moduli

Ping Xi

We prove that the Kloosterman sum changes sign infinitely often as runs over squarefree moduli with at most 10 prime factors, which improves the previous results of Fouvry and Michel, Sivak-Fischler and Matomaki, replacing 10 by 23, 18 and 15, respectively ...

Robust Performance Analysis of Single Parameter-dependent Systems with Polynomially Parameter-dependent Lyapunov Matrices

Alireza Karimi

This paper addresses the problem of H-infinity and H-2 performance analysis of continuous-time affine single parameter-dependent systems with polynomially parameter-dependent Lyapunov matrices. First, some necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of li ...

Fixed-order H-infinity and H-2 Controller Design for Continuous-time Polytopic Systems: An LMI-based Approach

Alireza Karimi

In this paper, a convex set of fixed-order H-infinity and H2 dynamic output-feedback controllers for continuous-time systems with polytopic uncertainty is proposed. This approach is based on the use of some instrumental stable matrices, which operate as a ...

Fixed points and amenability in non-positive curvature

Nicolas Monod

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the torsion-free case. We est ...

Algebraic Divisibility Sequences Over Function Fields

Valéry Aurélien Mahé

In this note we study the existence of primes and of primitive divisors in function field analogues of classical divisibility sequences. Under various hypotheses, we prove that Lucas sequences and elliptic divisibility sequences over function fields define ...

Contact between representative rough surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Vladislav Yastrebov

A numerical analysis of mechanical frictionless contact between rough self-affine elastic manifolds was carried out. It is shown that the lower cutoff wave number in surface spectra is a key parameter controlling the representativity of the numerical model ...

Dual Representation Of Monotone Convex Functions On L-0

Gregor Svindland

We study monotone convex functions psi : L-0 (Omega, F, P) -> (-infinity, infinity] and derive a dual representation as well as conditions that ensure the existence of a sigma-additive subgradient. The results are motivated by applications in economic agen ...
