Redrawing the 2012 map of the Maryland congressional districts [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Gerrymandering is the practice of drawing biased electoral maps that manipulate the voter population to gain an advantage. The most recent time gerrymandering became an issue was 2019 when the U.S. Federal Supreme Court decided that the court does not have the authority to dictate how to draw the district map and state legislators are the ones who ...

Differences of weighted composition operators between the Fock spaces [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We study some important topological properties such as boundedness, compactness and essential norm of differences of weighted composition operators between Fock ...

Taming the Gerrymander--Statistical Physics Approach to Political Districting Problem [PDF]
, 2005 The Political Districting Problem is mapped to a $q$-state Potts model in which the constraints can be written as interactions between sites or external fields acting on the system. Districting into $q$ voter districts is equivalent to finding the ground state of this $q$-state Potts model.

District-Fair Participatory Budgeting [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Participatory budgeting is a method used by city governments to select public projects to fund based on residents' votes. Many cities use participatory budgeting at a district level. Typically, a budget is divided among districts proportionally to their population, and each district holds an election over local projects and then uses its budget to fund

District Level Analysis of Urbanization from Rural-to-Urban Migration in the Rajasthan State [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Migration has various dimensions; urbanization due to migration is one of them. In Rajasthan State, district level analysis of urbanization due to migrants shows trend invariably for all districts of the state, though the contribution in urbanization by migrants varies from district to district.

A Refined Complexity Analysis of Fair Districting over Graphs [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We study the NP-hard Fair Connected Districting problem recently proposed by Stoica et al. [AAMAS 2020]: Partition a vertex-colored graph into k connected components (subsequently referred to as districts) so that in every district the most frequent color occurs at most a given number of times more often than the second most frequent color.

On the SU(2,1) representation space of the Brieskorn homology spheres [PDF]
J. Math. Sci. Univ. Tokyo 14 (2007), no. 4, 499--510, 2008 In this paper, we give a parameterization of the SU(2,1) representation space of the Brieskorn homology spheres using the trace coordinates. As applications, we give an example which shows that the orbifold Toledo invariant in \cite{krebs} does not distinguish the connected components of the PU(2,1) representation space.

On the Burns-Epstein invariants of spherical CR 3-manifolds [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 In this paper we develop a method to compute the Burns-Epstein invariant of a spherical CR homology sphere, up to an integer, from its holonomy representation. As application, we give a formula for the Burns-Epstein invariant, modulo an integer, of a spherical CR structure on a Seifert fibered homology sphere in terms of its holonomy representation.
