On the role of Convexity in Isoperimetry, Spectral-Gap and Concentration
We show that for convex domains in Euclidean space, Cheeger's isoperimetric inequality, spectral gap of the Neumann Laplacian, exponential concentration of Lipschitz functions, and the a-priori weakest requirement that Lipschitz functions have \emph{arbitrarily slow} uniform tail-decay, are all quantitatively equivalen...

Online EM Algorithm for Latent Data Models
In this contribution, we propose a generic online (also sometimes called adaptive or recursive) version of the Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithm applicable to latent variable models of independent observations. Compared to the algorithm of Titterington (1984), this approach is more directly connected to the usual...

Simulation of the matrix Bingham-von Mises-Fisher distribution, with applications to multivariate and relational data
Orthonormal matrices play an important role in reduced-rank matrix approximations and the analysis of matrix-valued data. A matrix Bingham-von Mises-Fisher distribution is a probability distribution on the set of orthonormal matrices that includes linear and quadratic terms, and arises as a posterior distribution in la...

Voter Models on Heterogeneous Networks
We study simple interacting particle systems on heterogeneous networks, including the voter model and the invasion process. These are both two-state models in which in an update event an individual changes state to agree with a neighbor. For the voter model, an individual "imports" its state from a randomly-chosen neig...

Disjointness is hard in the multi-party number on the forehead model
We show that disjointness requires randomized communication Omega(n^{1/(k+1)}/2^{2^k}) in the general k-party number-on-the-forehead model of complexity. The previous best lower bound for k >= 3 was log(n)/(k-1). Our results give a separation between nondeterministic and randomized multiparty number-on-the-forehead com...

The skew spectrum of functions on finite groups and their homogeneous spaces
Whenever we have a group acting on a class of functions by translation, the bispectrum offers a principled and lossless way of representing such functions invariant to the action. Unfortunately, computing the bispectrum is often costly and complicated. In this paper we propose a unitarily equivalent, but easier to comp...

Correlation of CMB with large-scale structure: I. ISW Tomography and Cosmological Implications
We cross-correlate large scale structure (LSS) observations from a number of surveys with CMB anisotropies from WMAP to investigate the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect as a function of redshift, covering z~0.1-2.5. Our main goal is to go beyond reporting detections towards developing a reliable likelihood analysis ...

Tidal Evolution of Close-in Extra-Solar Planets
The distribution of eccentricities e of extra-solar planets with semi-major axes a > 0.2 AU is very uniform, and values for e are generally large. For a < 0.2 AU, eccentricities are much smaller (most e < 0.2), a characteristic widely attributed to damping by tides after the planets formed and the protoplanetary gas di...

Quantum-Gravity Decoherence Effects in Neutrino Oscillations: Expected Constraints from CNGS and J-PARC
Quantum decoherence, the evolution of pure states into mixed states, may be a feature of quantum-gravity models. In most cases, such models lead to fewer neutrinos of all active flavours being detected in a long baseline experiment as compared to three-flavour standard neutrino oscillations. We discuss the potential of...

Third virial coefficient for 4-arm and 6-arm star polymers
We discuss the computation of the third virial coefficient in polymer systems, focusing on an additional contribution absent in the case of monoatomic fluids. We determine the interpenetration ratio and several quantities that involve the third virial coefficient for star polymers with 4 and 6 arms in the good-solvent ...

Dark matter allowed scenarios for Yukawa-unified SO(10) SUSY GUTs
Simple supersymmetric grand unified models based on the gauge group SO(10) require --in addition to gauge and matter unification-- the unification of t-b-\tau Yukawa couplings. Yukawa unification, however, only occurs for very special values of the soft SUSY breaking parameters. We perform a search using a Markov Chain...

Exact solution of the Landau-Lifshitz equation in a plane wave
The Landau-Lifshitz form of the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation in the presence of a plane wave of arbitrary shape and polarization is solved exactly and in closed form. The explicit solution is presented in the particular, paradigmatic cases of a constant crossed field and of a monochromatic wave with circular and with...

A Nearly Linear-Time PTAS for Explicit Fractional Packing and Covering Linear Programs
We give an approximation algorithm for packing and covering linear programs (linear programs with non-negative coefficients). Given a constraint matrix with n non-zeros, r rows, and c columns, the algorithm computes feasible primal and dual solutions whose costs are within a factor of 1+eps of the optimal cost in time ...

Gamma-ray emission from the solar halo and disk: a study with EGRET data
Context: The Sun has recently been predicted to be an extended source of gamma-ray emission, produced by inverse-Compton (IC) scattering of cosmic-ray (CR) electrons on the solar radiation field. The emission was predicted to be extended and a confusing foreground for the diffuse extragalactic background even at large ...

Thermal fracture as a framework for quasi-static crack propagation
We address analytically and numerically the problem of crack path prediction in the model system of a crack propagating under thermal loading. We show that one can explain the instability from a straight to a wavy crack propagation by using only the principle of local symmetry and the Griffith criterion. We then argue ...

On Wasserstein geometry of the space of Gaussian measures
The space of Gaussian measures on a Euclidean space is geodesically convex in the $L^2$-Wasserstein space. This space is a finite dimensional manifold since Gaussian measures are parameterized by means and covariance matrices. By restricting to the space of Gaussian measures inside the $L^2$-Wasserstein space, we manag...

Adjoint Computation for Hypersurfaces Using Formal Desingularizations
We show how to use formal desingularizations (defined earlier by the first author) in order to compute the global sections (also called adjoints) of twisted pluricanonical sheaves. These sections define maps that play an important role in the birational classification of schemes.

Information Spectrum Approach to Second-Order Coding Rate in Channel Coding
Second-order coding rate of channel coding is discussed for general sequence of channels. The optimum second-order transmission rate with a constant error constraint $\epsilon$ is obtained by using the information spectrum method. We apply this result to the discrete memoryless case, the discrete memoryless case with a...

It is shown that, under the practical constraints of single-user encoding-decoding scheme...
