Free boundary dimers: random walk representation and scaling limit

Nathanael Berestycki, Marcin Lis, Wei Qian

We study the dimer model on subgraphs of the square lattice in which vertices on a prescribed part of the boundary (the free boundary) are possibly unmatched. Each such unmatched v…

Structures of Spurious Local Minima in -means

Wei Qian, Yuqian Zhang, Yudong Chen

-means clustering is a fundamental problem in unsupervised learning. The problem concerns finding a partition of the data points into clusters such that the within-cluster v…

Global Convergence of Least Squares EM for Demixing Two Log-Concave Densities

Wei Qian, Yuqian Zhang, Yudong Chen

This work studies the location estimation problem for a mixture of two rotation invariant log-concave densities. We demonstrate that Least Squares EM, a variant of the EM algorithm…

The geodesics in Liouville quantum gravity are not Schramm-Loewner evolutions

Jason Miller, Wei Qian

We prove that the geodesics associated with any metric generated from Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) which satisfies certain natural hypotheses are necessarily singular with respe…

Conformal invariance of CLE on the Riemann sphere for

Ewain Gwynne, Jason Miller, Wei Qian

The conformal loop ensemble (CLE) is the canonical conformally invariant probability measure on non-crossing loops in a simply connected domain in and is indexed by a p…

The law of a point process of Brownian excursions in a domain is determined by the law of its trace

Wei Qian, Wendelin Werner

We show the result that is stated in the title of the paper, which has consequences about decomposition of Brownian loop-soup clusters in two dimensions.
