Brownian Motion and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck Processes in Planar Shape Space

We discuss Brownian motion and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes specified directly in planar shape space. In particular, we obtain the drift and diffusion coefficients of Brownian motion in terms of Kendall shape variables and Goodall–Mardia polar shape variables. Stochastic differential equations are given and the stationary distributions are obtained. By adding in extra drift to a reference figure, Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes can be studied, for example with stationary distribution given by the complex Watson distribution. The triangle case is studied in particular detail, and some simulations given. Connections with existing work are made, in particular with the diffusion of Euclidean shape. We explore statistical inference for the parameters in the model with an application to cell shape modelling.      

Travelling Randomly on the Poincaré Half-Plane with a Pythagorean Compass

A random motion on the Poincaré half-plane is studied. A particle runs on the geodesic lines changing direction at Poisson-paced times. The hyperbolic distance is analyzed, also in the case where returns to the starting point are admitted. The main results concern the mean hyperbolic distance (and also the conditional mean distance) in all versions of the motion envisaged. Also an analogous motion on orthogonal circles of the sphere is examined and the evolution of the mean distance from the starting point is investigated.

A Formula for the Dedekind ξ-Function of an Imaginary Quadratic Field

In this paper a formula is given for the Dedekind ξ-function, which is similar to that for the Riemann ξ-function. As an application, a lower bound is obtained for the value of the Dedekind ξ-function at the central point.     

Negative asymptotic topological dimension, a new condensate, and their relation to the quantized Zipf law

We introduce the notion of weight for the asymptotic topological dimension. Planck’s formula for black-body radiation is refined. We introduce the notion of negative asymptotic topological dimension (of hole dimension). The condensate in the hole dimension is applied to the quantized Zipf law for frequency dictionaries (obtained earlier by the author).

Complex-valued Ray-Singer torsion

In the spirit of Ray and Singer we define a complex-valued analytic torsion using non-selfadjoint Laplacians. We establish an anomaly formula which permits to turn this into a topological invariant. Conjecturally this analytically defined invariant computes the complex-valued Reidemeister torsion, including its phase. We establish this conjecture in some non-trivial situations.     

Principal Γ-cone for a tree

For any tree Γ, we introduce Γ-cones consisting of chambers and enumerate the number of chambers contained in two particular (called principal) Γ-cones. The problem is equivalent to the combinatorial problem of the enumeration of linear extensions of two bipartite orderings on a tree Γ. We characterize the principal Γ-cones among other Γ-cones by the strict maximality of the number of their chambers, and give a formula for this maximal (called principal) number by a finite sum of hook length formulae. We explain the formula through the simplicial block decomposition of principal Γ-cones. The results have their origin and application in the study of the topology related to Coxeter groups and Artin groups.
