Unnatural Wills: Inheritance Disputes and Inequality
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Within the conceptual frame of relational economic sociology, inheritance disputes are a canonical form of relational mismatch. But the social patterning of relational mismatches, and their various ties to inequality, remain murky. In this paper, I examine all known inheritance disputes in Dallas from 1895–1945 within their social context to ...

Topics in Quantum Topology: 3-Manifolds, BPS Series and Categorification [PDF]
, 2021 We analyze the two variable series invariant for knot complements originating from a categorification of the SU(2) WRT invariant of closed oriented 3-manifolds.

The $CFK^\infty$ Type of Almost L-space Knots [PDF]
Heegaard Floer homology and knot Floer homology are powerful invariants of 3-manifolds and links respectively. L-space knots are knots which admit Dehn surgeries to 3-manifolds with Heegaard Floer homology of minimal rank. In this paper we study almost L-

Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

Tangent Blow‐Ups for Processing Non‐Manifold Geometry
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Many geometry processing pipelines implicitly assume their input data is a manifold, or is sampled from one, with a unique tangent plane at every point. Geometric data, however, routinely contains sharp features like edges, corners, self‐intersections, branching junctions, and other singularities, rendering standard methods ill‐defined at ...

Milnor's invariants for knots and links in closed orientable 3-manifolds [PDF]
In his 1957 paper, John Milnor introduced a collection of invariants for links in $S^3$ detecting higher-order linking phenomena by studying lower central quotients of link groups and comparing them to those of the unlink.

Economics &Politics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study focuses on the exposure of leading Chinese firms to stock price crash risk amid the heightened policy uncertainty and geopolitical hostility of the US–China trade war. We find that Chinese multinationals with ex ante outward investments in the United States through cross‐border M&A or green field projects exhibit lower stock price ...

Possible universal quantum algorithms for generalized Turaev-Viro invariants
, 2011 An emergent trend in quantum computation is the topological quantum computation (TQC). Briefly, TQC results from the application of quantum computation with the aim to solve the problems of quantum topology such as topological invariants for knots and ...

The Distributional Effects of Economic Uncertainty*
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the distributional implications of uncertainty shocks by developing a model that links macroeconomic aggregates to the US distribution of earnings and consumption. Our findings suggest that the fraction of low‐earning workers decreases initially, while the share of households reporting low consumption increases.

Hardness of computation of quantum invariants on 3-manifolds with restricted topology [PDF]
International audienceQuantum invariants in low-dimensional topology offer a wide variety of valuable invariants about knots and 3-manifolds, presented by explicit formulas that are readily computable.
