Pairwise Intersections and Forbidden Configurations [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2005
Let $f_m(a,b,c,d)$ denote the maximum size of a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of an $m$-element set for which there is no pair of subsets $A,B \in \mathcal{F}$ with $|A \cap B| \geq a$, $|\bar{A} \cap B| \geq b$, $|A \cap \bar{B}| \geq c$, and $|\bar{A}

Positional Games [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Positional games are a branch of combinatorics, researching a variety of two-player games, ranging from popular recreational games such as Tic-Tac-Toe and Hex, to purely abstract games played on graphs and hypergraphs.

Tangential extremal principles for finite and infinite systems of sets, I: basic theory [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Programming, 2012
In this paper we develop new extremal principles in variational analysis that deal with finite and infinite systems of convex and nonconvex sets. The results obtained, unified under the name of tangential extremal principles, combine primal and dual approaches to the study of variational systems being in fact first extremal principles applied to ...

The covering lemma and q-analogues of extremal set theory problems

open access: yesArs Mathematica Contemporanea, 2023
We prove a general lemma (inspired by a lemma of Holroyd and Talbot) about the connection of the largest cardinalities (or weight) of structures satisfying some hereditary property and substructures satisfying the same hereditary property. We use it to show how results concerning forbidden subposet problems in the Boolean poset imply analogous results ...

State-Space Geometry, Statistical Fluctuations, and Black Holes in String Theory

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, 2014
We study the state-space geometry of various extremal and nonextremal black holes in string theory. From the notion of the intrinsic geometry, we offer a state-space perspective to the black hole vacuum fluctuations.

On the regularization of extremal three-point functions involving giant gravitons

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
In the AdS5/CFT4 set-up, extremal three-point functions involving two giant 1/2 BPS gravitons and one point-like 1/2 BPS graviton, when calculated using semi-classical string theory methods, match the corresponding three-point functions obtained in the ...

Electromagnetic quasitopological gravities

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We identify a set of higher-derivative extensions of Einstein-Maxwell theory that allow for spherically symmetric charged solutions characterized by a single metric function f (r) = −g tt = 1/g rr .

Variability extremes: statistical validation of the Alfred Wegener Institute Earth System Model (AWI-ESM) [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2022
Coupled general circulation models are of paramount importance to quantitatively assessing the magnitude of future climate change. Usual methods for validating climate models include the evaluation of mean values and covariances, but less attention is ...

Information Inequalities via Submodularity and a Problem in Extremal Graph Theory

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The present paper offers, in its first part, a unified approach for the derivation of families of inequalities for set functions which satisfy sub/supermodularity properties.
