Colored interlacing triangles and Genocchi medians
Natasha Blitvic, Leonid Petrov
Colored interlacing triangles, introduced by Aggarwal-Borodin-Wheeler (2024), provide the combinatorial framework for the Central Limit Theorem for probability measures arising fro…

Statistics on monotonically ordered non-crossing partitions
Natasha Blitvic, Thomas Bray, Jacob Campbell +1
We study some combinatorial statistics defined on the set of monotonically ordered non-crossing partitions of {1,...,n}, and on the set of mono…

Fluid flow generates bacterial conjugation hotspots by increasing the rate of shear-driven cell-cell encounters
Matti Zbinden, Jana S. Huisman, Natasha Blitvic +2
Conjugation accelerates bacterial evolution by enabling bacteria to acquire genes horizontally from their neighbors. Plasmid donors must physically encounter and connect with recip…
