Additive Bases in Abelian Groups

Vsevolod F. Lev, Mikhail E. Muzychuk, Rom Pinchasi

Let be a finite, non-trivial abelian group of exponent , and suppose that are generating subsets of . We prove that if , then the mul…

Characteristic Classes of Lie Algebroid Morphisms

Izu Vaisman

We extend R. Fernandes' construction of secondary characteristic classes of a Lie algebroid to the case of a base-preserving morphism between two Lie algebroids. Like in the case o…

Geometric scaling: a simple preconditioner for certain linear systems with discontinuous coefficients

Dan Gordon, Rachel Gordon

Linear systems with large differences between coefficients ("discontinuous coefficients") arise in many cases in which partial differential equations(PDEs) model physical phenomena…

Computads and Multitopic Sets

Victor Harnik, Michael Makkai, Marek Zawadowski

We compare computads with multitopic sets. Both these kinds of structures have n-dimensional objects (called n-cells and n-pasting diagrams, respectively). The computads form a sub…

Universal pointwise selection rule in multivariate function estimation

Alexander Goldenshluger, Oleg Lepski

In this paper, we study the problem of pointwise estimation of a multivariate function. We develop a general pointwise estimation procedure that is based on selection of estimators…

Gerbes and the Holomorphic Brauer Group of Complex Tori

Oren Ben-Bassat

The purpose of this paper is to develop the theory of holomorphic gerbes on complex tori in a manner analogous to the classical theory for line bundles. In contrast to past studies…
