The directed landscape is a random directed metric on the plane that arises as a scaling limit of a classical metric models in the KPZ universality class. In this talk, we will discuss a functional large deviation principle (LDP) for the entire...

We analyse the metastable behaviour of the disordered Curie-Weiss-Potts (DCWP) model subject to a Glauber dynamics. The model is a randomly disordered version of the mean-field q-spin Potts model (CWP), where the interaction coefficients between...

By using Grand Canonical Optimal Transport we provide a counter-example showing that the ground state energy of electrons in an external Coulomb potential is not always a convex function of the number of electrons. This property has been conjectured...

A classical problem in linear algebra is to understand what are the linear subspaces of the space of $m\times n$ matrices such that no matrix in the space has full rank. This problem has connections to theoretical computer science, more precisely...

Recently, Machine Learning (ML) approaches to data assimilation and modelling have been very successful in interpreting large amounts of data, such as human behavior prediction, marketing, etc. However, direct applications of machine learning methods...

The starting point for this are clinical studies showing that partial and total meniscectomies lead to prevalence of premature osteoarthritis in knee joints. Accordingly, substantial efforts are being made towards finding adequate regenerative tissue...

Using Banach’s contractive principle and Leray–Schauder’s fixed point theorem, we study the uniqueness and existence for a new nonlinear fractional differential equation with functional boundary condition based on the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler...
