Currents and finite elements as tools for shape space

open access: yes, 2018
The nonlinear spaces of shapes (unparameterized immersed curves or submanifolds) are of interest for many applications in image analysis, such as the identification of shapes that are similar modulo the action of some group.

Dynamics of Pure Shape, Relativity and the Problem of Time

open access: yes, 2003
A new approach to the dynamics of the universe based on work by O Murchadha, Foster, Anderson and the author is presented. The only kinematics presupposed is the spatial geometry needed to define configuration spaces in purely relational terms.

Spectral curves and the mass of hyperbolic monopoles

open access: yes, 2005
The moduli spaces of hyperbolic monopoles are naturally fibred by the monopole mass, and this leads to a nontrivial mass dependence of the holomorphic data (spectral curves, rational maps, holomorphic spheres) associated to hyperbolic multi-monopoles. In

Quantum Magnetic Algebra and Magnetic Curvature

open access: yes, 2003
The symplectic geometry of the phase space associated with a charged particle is determined by the addition of the Faraday 2-form to the standard structure on the Euclidean phase space.

Entropies from coarse-graining: convex polytopes vs. ellipsoids

open access: yes, 2015
We examine the Boltzmann/Gibbs/Shannon $\mathcal{S}_{BGS}$ and the non-additive Havrda-Charv\'{a}t / Dar\'{o}czy/Cressie-Read/Tsallis \ $\mathcal{S}_q$ \ and the Kaniadakis $\kappa$-entropy \ $\mathcal{S}_\kappa$ \ from the viewpoint of coarse-graining ...

On the heteroclinic connection problem for multi-well gradient systems

open access: yes, 2016
We revisit the existence problem of heteroclinic connections in $\mathbb{R}^N$ associated with Hamiltonian systems involving potentials $W:\mathbb{R}^N\to \mathbb{R}$ having several global minima.

The Kontsevich constants for the volume of the moduli of curves and topological recursion

open access: yes, 2010
We give an Eynard-Orantin type topological recursion formula for the canonical Euclidean volume of the combinatorial moduli space of pointed smooth algebraic curves. The recursion comes from the edge removal operation on the space of ribbon graphs. As an
