https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamas%27s%20Theorem
Gamas's theorem is a result in multilinear algebra which states the necessary and sufficient conditions for a tensor symmetrized by an irreducible representation of the symmetric group to be zero. It was proven in 1988 by Carlos Gamas. Additional proofs have been given by Pate and Berget. Statement of the theorem Let be a finite-dimensional complex vector space and be a partition of . From the representation theory of the symmetric group it is known that the partition corresponds to an irreducible representation of . Let be the character of this representation. The tensor symmetrized by is defined to be where is the identity element of . Gamas's theorem states that the above symmetrized tensor is non-zero if and only if it is possible to partition the set of vectors into linearly independent sets whose sizes are in bijection with the lengths of the columns of the partition .

Harmonic Materials of Modern Music is a book on musical set theory by American composer Howard Hanson that overlaps significantly with composer Elliott Carter's Harmony Book and theorist Allen Forte's subsequent Structure of Atonal Music. Published in 1960, Hanson's theory was one of the first to examine all sets of pitches in terms of their specific interval content, independent of tonality, chord root, or consonance versus dissonance.

Ano Ydroussa (, before 1928: Άνω Κόττορι - Ano Kottori) is a village in Florina regional unit, Western Macedonia, Greece. The village in Ottoman Turkish was called Yukarı Kotor. In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, Ano Kottori was populated by 60 Christian Albanians and 168 Bulgarians. Kanchov wrote that Christian Albanians of the late Ottoman period in Ano Kottori were increasingly being assimilated by its Bulgarian population. In the early twentieth century, Kato Kotori was involved with the Bulgarian national movement. Ano Idrousa had 333 inhabitants in 1981. In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Ano Idrousa was populated by Slavophones and Arvanites. The Macedonian language was used by people of all ages, both in public and private settings, and as the main language for interpersonal relationships. Some elderly villagers had little knowledge of Greek. References Populated places in Florina (regional unit) Florina Albanian communities in Greece

Ydroussa (, before 1927: Κάτω Κόττορι - Kato Kottori) is a village in Florina regional unit, Western Macedonia, Greece. The village in Ottoman Turkish was called Aşağı Kotor. In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, Kato Kottori was populated by 174 Christian Albanians and 600 Bulgarians. Kanchov wrote that Christian Albanians of the late Ottoman period in Kato Kottori were increasingly being assimilated by its Bulgarian population. In the early twentieth century, Kato Kotori was involved with the Bulgarian national movement. During the 1940s, kin relations began to be formed between the Slavophone (Dopioi) and Arvanite populations of the village. Villagers from both groups together attended school, partook in social events and looked after each other during the Second World War and Greek Civil War. Ydroussa had 456 inhabitants in 1981. In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, (Kato) Ydroussa was populated by Slavophones and Arvanites. The Macedonian language was spoken in the village by people over 30 in public and private settings. Children understood the language, but mostly did not use it. In the late 1990s, in fieldwork done by Ioannis Manos, much of the Ydroussa village population self identified as Dopioi, a designation used by Slavophones of the Florina region and the remainder as Arvanites. There were seldom elderly individuals with knowledge of Arvanitika. References Populated places in Florina (regional unit) Florina Albanian communities in Greece

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala%20Vatika
A mandala vatika () is a garden with architecture that is designed per Vedic geometry. The word mandala literally means a circular, symmetrical pattern that is used in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism. The word vatika refers to garden, grove, parterre or plantation, and comes from Sanskrit usage. In Hinduism, deities are represented and invoked through unique sacred, geometrical patterns inscribed in yantras and mandalas. These are used during worship and meditation, and sanctified with specific rituals and offerings to bring in blessings and auspiciousness. The ancient texts of India refer to Mandala Vatikas that were dedicated to deities such as Ganesha, Durga, Lakshmi, Shiva, Kartikeya, to planets and even to constellations (Nakshatra Vana), so that individuals could meditate in these groves. Over the centuries, much of this ancient knowledge from Vedic Scriptures was lost. This was either done to wield power, or protect the sanctity of the knowledge from getting diluted or misused.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division%20I%20men%27s%20lacrosse%20records
Division I men's lacrosse records listed here are primarily records compiled by the NCAA's Director of Statistics office. Included in this consolidation are the NCAA men's Division I individual single-season and career leaders. Official NCAA men's lacrosse records did not begin until the 1971 season and are based on information submitted to the NCAA statistics service by institutions participating in the weekly statistics rankings, which started in 1996. Career records include players who played at least three seasons (in a four-season career) or two (in a three-season career) in Division I during the era of official NCAA statistics. In statistical rankings, the rounding of percentages and/or averages may indicate ties where none exist. In these cases, the numerical order of the rankings is accurate. Also included here are college lacrosse records from prior to 1971. Also, prior to 1971 there was not an official “Division I” as that is an NCAA designation. Prior to 1971, the USILA had informal “Large College” and “Small College” designations. Any USILA era records included here are “Large College” records. These records are compiled from individual school records and are from players at schools which were considered the highest level lacrosse schools. Compiling and validating lacrosse records prior to the "NCAA-era" is hit-or-miss. In many cases, USILA era records can be gathered from a university's own record books. To date, the NCAA does not officially recognize lacrosse records prior to 1971 as well as several records during the NCAA era, and the USILA does not maintain a database of lacrosse records. Certain USILA era lacrosse records, nonetheless, have been included below. In other cases, career or single-season records are indicated below, where the NCAA has not validated or officially recognized that record, for players during the "NCAA-era", post-1971. Career leaders Points [a] Granted a fifth season of eligibility [b] Zach Greer's career points mark of 353 points is not officially recognized by the NCAA. Greer was granted a fifth season of eligibility and Bryant was considered a reclassifying institution that year. The NCAA lists Greer's career points as 285, though he scored 42 goals with 26 assists for 68 points in 2009, for a total of 353 career points. [c] Lehigh records have Cameron with 308 career points, while NCAA record book shows Cameron with 307 career points. Points per game [a] These records are not recognized by the NCAA and were compiled from individual school records. Goals [a] Zach Greer's career goals of 248 are not officially recognized by the NCAA, because Greer was granted a fifth season of eligibility and Bryant was considered a reclassifying institution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-t%20distribution
In probability theory, a log-t distribution or log-Student t distribution is a probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is distributed in accordance with a Student's t-distribution. If X is a random variable with a Student's t-distribution, then Y = exp(X) has a log-t distribution; likewise, if Y has a log-t distribution, then X = log(Y) has a Student's t-distribution. Characterization The log-t distribution has the probability density function: , where is the location parameter of the underlying (non-standardized) Student's t-distribution, is the scale parameter of the underlying (non-standardized) Student's t-distribution, and is the number of degrees of freedom of the underlying Student's t-distribution. If and then the underlying distribution is the standardized Student's t-distribution. If then the distribution is a log-Cauchy distribution. As approaches infinity, the distribution approaches a log-normal distribution. Although the log-normal distribution has finite moments, for any finite degrees of freedom, the mean and variance and all higher moments of the log-t distribution are infinite or do not exist. The log-t distribution is a special case of the generalized beta distribution of the second kind. The log-t distribution is an example of a compound probability distribution between the lognormal distribution and inverse gamma distribution whereby the variance parameter of the lognormal distribution is a random variable distributed according to an inverse gamma distribution. Applications The log-t distribution has applications in finance. For example, the distribution of stock market returns often shows fatter tails than a normal distribution, and thus tends to fit a Student's t-distribution better than a normal distribution. While the Black-Scholes model based on the log-normal distribution is often used to price stock options, option pricing formulas based on the log-t distribution can be a preferable alternative if the returns have fat tails. The fact that the log-t distribution has infinite mean is a problem when using it to value options, but there are techniques to overcome that limitation, such as by truncating the probability density function at some arbitrary large value. The log-t distribution also has applications in hydrology and in analyzing data on cancer remission. Multivariate log-t distribution Analogous to the log-normal distribution, multivariate forms of the log-t distribution exist. In this case, the location parameter is replaced by a vector μ, the scale parameter is replaced by a matrix Σ. References Continuous distributions Probability distributions with non-finite variance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DxO%20ViewPoint
DxO ViewPoint is image geometry and lens defect correction software developed by DxO. It is designed to automatically straighten distorted perspectives caused by the lens used and the position of the photographer. The software claims to be able to make precise corrections to lens flaws through its use of DxO's database of calibrations (called DxO Optics Modules) which have been created through laboratory tests. DxO ViewPoint exists for macOS and Windows computers. It functions as an independent application, as a plugin for DxO PhotoLab, and as an external editor for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Photoshop Elements. Functionality DxO ViewPoint allows users to correct the horizon, keystoning, volume distortion (volume anamorphosis), and a number of lens distortions automatically or through sliders. Lens distortions include barrel, pincushion, and fisheye. DxO ViewPoint's corrections are based on DxO's data created through a large volume of images produced using different lens and camera combinations in DxO's laboratory. DxO ViewPoint's volume distortion correction can be used to attempt to recover the natural proportions of objects that have been distorted due to their proximity to the edge of the frame when photographed with a wide-angle lens. DxO claims that this can be useful when editing photographs of groups of people where individuals nearest the edge of the frame can seem wider than those at the center. Users can correct keystoning in order to adjust the perspective of a photograph, either automatically or through manual methods including point selection, placing horizontal and vertical lines, or creating a rectangle. Users can set DxO ViewPoint to automatically crop an image once an adjustment has been made. DxO ViewPoint can also be used to produce creative effects such as generating an extremely shallow depth of field and simulating the use of a tilt-shift lens. Development Version 1 DxO ViewPoint was released on September 5, 2012, and featured tools to allow users to correct keystoning and volume distortions. DxO ViewPoint was launched as a standalone application for MacOS and Windows, and also as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 and 4. Version 2 DxO ViewPoint 2 was released on 25 September 2013 and introduced access to DxO Optics Modules allowing users to automatically correct geometric distortions such as barrel or pincushion distortions. Other updates included: a new tool to allow users to place eight points in order to correct converging lines; a “Natural” setting shortcut to let users adjust the intensity of their corrections; the option to maximize the image field for further editing; compatibility with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Apple Aperture. Version 3 DxO ViewPoint 3 launched on November 17, 2016, introducing automatic perspective and horizon correction tools, and a tool to create a shallow depth of field through graduated blurring in order to si

Kolchiki (, before 1928: Πλησεβίτσα - Plisevitsa) is a village in Florina regional unit, Western Macedonia, Greece. According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov ("Macedonia, Ethnography and Statistics"), 700 Muslim Albanians lived in the village in 1900. The Greek census (1920) recorded 563 people in the village and in 1923 there were 563 inhabitants (or 103 families) who were Muslim. Following the Greek-Turkish population exchange, in 1926 within Plisevitsa there were 92 refugee families from the Caucasus. The Greek census (1928) recorded 352 village inhabitants. There were 95 refugee families (367 people) in 1928. Kolchiki had 315 inhabitants in 1981. In fieldwork done by Riki Van Boeschoten in late 1993, Kolchiki was populated by a Greek population descended from Anatolian Greek refugees who arrived during the population exchange. Pontic Greek was spoken in the village by people over 30 in public and private settings. Children understood the language, but mostly did not use it.

{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [ -85.763397, 39.784894 ] } } ] }William Keemer was the victim of a racial terror spectacle lynching in 1875 in Greenfield, Indiana. Keemer, a Black man, was dragged from his jail cell in Hancock County, Indiana on June 25, 1875 by a white mob from Hancock, Shelby, and Rush counties. Keemer was hung at the Hancock County fairgrounds and over 1,000 people traveled to view the body. Keemer was arrested on June 24 for an alleged sexual assault against a white women in Carthage, Indiana. No trial was held for the alleged crime and William Keemer remains innocent. In 2021 a historical marker commemorating the anti-Black violence committed against Keemer was approved by the Indiana Historical Bureau. Life William Keemer was born in 1849. The location is unknown, but he had a brother, James, who was born in 1850 in Ohio. According to James’ death certificate, their parents were born in Kentucky and his mother’s maiden name was Flood. Keemer's father, James H. Keemer, served in the Civil War from 1865-1866 and was a resident of the Beech Settlement, an early Black rural community, in Carthage, Indiana. William Keemer was also a resident of the Beech Settlement and by the time of his death, the population there was declining. William worked as a carpenter for Charles S. Wiltsie, who was the prosecuting attorney for Marion County, Indiana. In 1875, William was not known to have any children. Lynching William Keemer was lynched on the night of June 25, 1875. A mob of 150 to 160 white, masked individuals gathered outside the Hancock County Jail in Greenfield, that evening, demanding a spectacle lynching. The mob restrained the sheriff in order to force entry into the jail and met resistance from Keemer. The mob then took Keemer from his jail cell to the Hancock County fairground where they hung him from a structure. His body remained there until the morning of June 26. On Keemer’s back, a note was found that read, “It is the verdict of 160 men of Hancock, Shelby and Rush, that this life is inadequate to meet the demands of justice.” Keemer’s body was taken to the Wills and Pratt, a funeral parlor, with the noose still around his neck. Over 1,000 people came to view the body. On Sunday, June 27, Keemer’s body was buried in an unmarked grave in a potter’s field. On June 24, 1875, William Keemer was alleged to have raped Jerusha Vaughn, in some sources referred to as Lucetta, at her home in Blue River Township, Carthage, Indiana according to accusations from her husband, William Vaughn. That same day, local residents captured and took Keemer to the Rush County Jail where upon a mob gathered who called for his death. Keemer was transferred the next day to the Hancock County Jail. In Indiana, between 1877 and 1950, there were at least eighteen black

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret%20Willerding
Margaret Frances Willerding (1919–2003) was an American mathematician known for her combinatorial enumeration of quadratic forms, for her mathematics textbooks, and for her editorship of the problems department of the mathematics journal School Science and Mathematics. Early life and education Willerding was born on April 26, 1919, in St. Louis, Missouri. After graduating from high school in 1936, she went to a local school, Harris Teachers College, despite being highly ambitious academically, because it was free; her parents were not especially supportive and could not afford a more expensive school. She majored in education there, with a minor in mathematics, and graduated in 1940. After a year working as a schoolteacher, she went to Saint Louis University for graduate study in mathematics, choosing it as the best of the two universities local enough to allow her to continue living with her parents, and despite her mother's dismissal of her academic ambitions. During this time she continued working as a schoolteacher to support herself, before obtaining a fellowship in the final year of her program, the first woman to do so. She earned a master's degree in 1943 and completed her Ph.D. in 1947. Her dissertation, Determination of All Classes of Positive Quaternary Quadratic Forms Which Represent All (Positive) Integers, was supervised by Arnold Ross,. A short summary of it was later published in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, the main result of which being that "there are exactly 178 classes of universal classic positive quaternary quadratic forms". This was later found to be incorrect. Based on the use of the 15 theorem, Manjul Bhargava determined the correct number to be 204. As noted by John H. Conway, "Willerding’s work had been unusually defective. [...] she missed 36 forms, listed 1 form twice, and listed 9 non-universal forms!" While she was still working on her doctorate, Ross moved to the University of Notre Dame to become department chair, and she commuted there by train to visit him. She became engaged to an older physicist at Notre Dame, Eugene Guth, but did not end up marrying him, and Ross's plans to hire her at Notre Dame also did not work out. Career and later life After completing her doctorate, Willerding became a mathematics instructor at Washington University in St. Louis, beginning in 1947. However, after being told that she would be passed over for promotions in favor of male faculty members, and being asked to pour tea for faculty wives at a mathematics meeting held at the university, she left after a single semester. Instead, she returned to Harris Teachers College and began focusing on mathematics education instead of mathematical research. During this time she also became active in the Missouri Section of the Mathematical Association of America. In 1954 she started her work as mathematical problems editor for School Science and Mathematics, a position she held until 1976 despite a colleague un

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibijana%20%C4%8Cujec
Bibijana Čujec ( Dobovišek; 25 December 1926 – 8 September 2022) was a Slovene physicist. She obtained her degree in 1950 at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Ljubljana, and in 1959 her PhD in physics at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of University of Ljubljana. From 1954 to 1961 she worked at the Jožef Stefan Institute, specialized later in Pittsburgh, United States, and in 1963 moved to Canada. Life and scientific career Bibijana Dobovišek was born on 25 December 1926 in Ljubljana, to father Mihael Dobovišek, technician, and mother Mary, born Dolinar, office worker. She attended primary school and grammar school in the Ursulines convent in 1933–1945. In 1945-1950 she studied mathematics and physics at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Ljubljana (professors Josip Plemelj and Ivan Vidav for mathematics, Anton Peterlin for physics). After graduating, Čujec worked at the Institute of Physics [SAZU] in 1950–1954, and at the Jožef Stefan Institute in 1955–1961. In 1956 she married Anton Čujec. Bibijana Čujec devoted herself to nuclear physics, and on the basis of her dissertation "Photonuclear reaction with special reference to the Wilkinson model" she received her doctorate in 1959 from the University of Ljubljana. In 1961, she went abroad for postdoctoral training. Until 1963, she worked as a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh in the USA on "stripping" reactions. She then went to Canada, where she was followed by her family. She lectured for the first year (1963–64) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, then transferred to Laval University in Quebec. In 1964 she began as an assistant, in 1966 she became an associate professor and in 1970 a full professor. While serving at Laval, she worked for two years at the Kellogg Radiation Laboratory at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, USA, and one year at CERN in Geneva. Čujec taught nuclear physics, elementary particles, modern physics, statistical thermodynamics, experimental physics, etc. In addition to undergraduate lectures, she supported students in obtaining master's and doctoral degrees. Through her work at Laval University, she has made a significant contribution to the development of a study and research program in nuclear physics at this institution. Čujec has been - among other institutions - a member of the American Physical Society and the Canadian Association of Physicists. Research by Čujec covered various fields of experimental nuclear physics. In the beginning (in Ljubljana and 1954 in Lund, Sweden), she studied basic particles in cosmic rays and photo-nuclear reactions in experiments using the betatron accelerator. Later (in the US and Canada) she devoted herself to nuclear spectroscopy and to studies of 3He and 4He scattering. A study of reactions between heavier cores (e.g. 12C +12C) at low energy followed, while also addressing the field of astrophysics, later reactions among heavier nuclei and proton-antiproton collision

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry%20Segerman
Henry Segerman (born 1979 in Manchester, UK) is an Associate Professor of mathematics at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma who does research in three-dimensional geometry and topology, especially three-manifolds, triangulations and hyperbolic geometry. He was the first person to publish a book on mathematical 3D printing, and is also a recreational mathematician and mathematical artist with expertise in virtual reality. His frequent collaborators include Vi Hart, Elisabetta Matsumoto and Saul Schleimer. Education and career Segerman received his Master of Mathematics (MS) at the University of Oxford (2001) and then his PhD at Stanford University (2007) for the dissertation "Incompressible Surfaces in Hyperbolic Punctured Torus Bundles are Strongly Detected" under Steven Paul Kerckhoff. He was a Lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin (2007–2010) and was a Research Fellow at University of Melbourne (2010–2013). He became an Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University (2013–2018) and then an Associate Professor there in 2018 until the present. Segerman's research lends itself to mathematics with a strong visual component. This led directly to his involvement with 3D printing. In 2016 he wrote the book Visualizing Mathematics With 3D Printing. Laura Taalman in a review said, "Segerman's book is an inside tour of mathematics with breathtaking 3D-printed scenery." 3D printing Mathematicians used to rely on wooden or plaster models to visualizing complex geometrical shapes. Nowadays, if they can be described mathematically, we can "print" them with 3D printers. Segerman uses mathematical tools including quaternions, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries and stereographic projection to create instructions for 3D printers. Sometimes the goal is to produce a work of art. Sometimes it is to shed light on four-dimensional geometry or some other field such as mathematical group theory. Sometimes it is both. One of his sculptures depicts a set of monkeys joined together to form a 4-dimensional hypercube. Segerman's techniques help us visualize a four dimensional world. Just as the frame of a cube can cast a shadow on a flat wall, Segerman makes analogous shadows of four dimensional objects via a 3D printer. Segerman has also explored kinetic artwork, designing mechanisms that move in unusual or seemingly paradoxical ways. Recreational mathematics Segerman has appeared as a recreational mathematician at Gathering 4 Gardner conferences and is a frequent contributor to Numberphile. Combining his interests in mathematics and art he is one of 24 mathematicians and artists who make up the Mathemalchemy Team. In another foray into recreational mathematics Segerman founded Dice Lab with mathematical artist Robert Fathauer. Using computer search and help from fellow recreational mathematician Robert Bosch, they created a "numerically balanced" 120-sided die. It is the "biggest, most complex fair die possible". They concede t
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite%20sphere%20packing
In mathematics, the theory of finite sphere packing concerns the question of how a finite number of equally-sized spheres can be most efficiently packed. The question of packing finitely many spheres has only been investigated in detail in recent decades, with much of the groundwork being laid by László Fejes Tóth. The similar problem for infinitely many spheres has a longer history of investigation, from which the Kepler conjecture is most well-known. Atoms in crystal structures can be simplistically viewed as closely-packed spheres and treated as infinite sphere packings thanks to their large number. Sphere packing problems are distinguished between packings in given containers and free packings. This article primarily discusses free packings. Packing and convex hulls In general, a packing refers to any arrangement of a set of spatially-connected, possibly differently-sized or differently-shaped objects in space such that none of them overlap. In the case of the finite sphere packing problem, these objects are restricted to equally-sized spheres. Such a packing of spheres determines a specific volume known as the convex hull of the packing, defined as the smallest convex set that includes all the spheres. Packing shapes There are many possible ways to arrange spheres, which can be classified into three basic groups: sausage, pizza, and cluster packing. Sausage packing An arrangement in which the midpoint of all the spheres lie on a single straight line is called a sausage packing, as the convex hull has a sausage-like shape. An approximate example in real life is the packing of tennis balls in a tube, though the ends must be rounded for the tube to coincide with the actual convex hull. Pizza packing If all the midpoints lie on a plane, the packing is a pizza packing. Approximate real-life examples of this kind of packing include billiard balls being packed in a triangle as they are set up. This holds for packings in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Cluster packing If the midpoints of the spheres are arranged throughout 3D space, the packing is termed a cluster packing. Real-life approximations include fruit being packed in multiple layers in a box. Relationships between types of packing By the given definitions, any sausage packing is technically also a pizza packing, and any pizza packing is technically also a cluster packing. In the more general case of dimensions, "sausages" refer to one-dimensional arrangements, "clusters" to -dimensional arrangements, and "pizzas" to those with an in-between number of dimensions. One or two spheres always make a sausage. With three, a pizza packing (that is not also a sausage) becomes possible, and with four or more, clusters (that are not also pizzas) become possible. Optimal packing The empty space between spheres varies depending on the type of packing. The amount of empty space is measured in the packing density, which is defined as the ratio of the volume of the spheres to the vol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaniadakis%20statistics
Kaniadakis statistics (also known as κ-statistics) is a generalization of Boltzmann–Gibbs statistical mechanics, based on a relativistic generalization of the classical Boltzmann–Gibbs–Shannon entropy (commonly referred to as Kaniadakis entropy or κ-entropy). Introduced by the Greek Italian physicist Giorgio Kaniadakis in 2001, κ-statistical mechanics preserve the main features of ordinary statistical mechanics and have attracted the interest of many researchers in recent years. The κ-distribution is currently considered one of the most viable candidates for explaining complex physical, natural or artificial systems involving power-law tailed statistical distributions. Kaniadakis statistics have been adopted successfully in the description of a variety of systems in the fields of cosmology, astrophysics, condensed matter, quantum physics, seismology, genomics, economics, epidemiology, and many others. Mathematical formalism The mathematical formalism of κ-statistics is generated by κ-deformed functions, especially the κ-exponential function. κ-exponential function The Kaniadakis exponential (or κ-exponential) function is a one-parameter generalization of an exponential function, given by: with . The κ-exponential for can also be written in the form: The first five terms of the Taylor expansion of are given by:where the first three are the same as a typical exponential function. Basic properties The κ-exponential function has the following properties of an exponential function: For a real number , the κ-exponential has the property: . κ-logarithm function The Kaniadakis logarithm (or κ-logarithm) is a relativistic one-parameter generalization of the ordinary logarithm function, with , which is the inverse function of the κ-exponential: The κ-logarithm for can also be written in the form: The first three terms of the Taylor expansion of are given by: following the rule with , and where and .

She was a research fellow at the University of Cambridge from 2016 to 2019 and spent a few months at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cape Town. Since 2020, she has been at the Humboldt University of Berlin on a Freigeist-Fellowship by the Volkswagen Foundation. Her main interests are division algebras, Clifford algebras, and Jordan algebras, and their relation to particle physics. Her work focuses on finding an underlying mathematical structure to the Standard Model of particle physics. She is most noted for her work on octonions. She has worked on attempting to obtain the Standard Model of particle physics from octonionic constructions. In her 2018 paper "SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) ( × U(1) ) as a symmetry of division algebraic ladder operators," according to Quanta Magazine, "she consolidated several findings to construct the full Standard Model symmetry group, SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1), for a single generation of particles, with the math producing the correct array of electric charges and other attributes for an electron, neutrino, three up quarks, three down quarks and their anti-particles. The math also suggests a reason why electric charge is quantized in discrete units — essentially, because whole numbers are." In 2022 together with Mia Hughes, she linked the symmetry breaking in physics to division algebras including octonions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe%20Flood%20%28policy%20analyst%29
Joe Flood (born 28 July 1950) is a policy, data analyst and mathematician. He has made contributions to mathematics, housing and urban economics, urban indicators, slum studies, climate change and genetic genealogy. Flood worked in CSIRO from 1977 to 1993, where he conducted about 25 research projects for every level of government in Australia during 1984-93. His research contributed to several major changes in Australia's housing policy. With university partners, he established the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) in 1993. Flood joined UN-Habitat in Nairobi from 1994 to 1996, where he devised a system of urban indicators that was collected in over 250 cities around the world. He was the originator of the City Development Index and the Global Urban Observatory. After leaving the UN, he spent the next ten years on follow-up work on establishing local observatories and indicators, with some housing and urban work in Australia. From 2010 he has written and lectured extensively on genetic genealogy. Early life Joe Flood is the eldest child of poet and playwright Dorothy Hewett, His siblings include Tom Flood and Kate Lilley. His parents eloped in 1949 from Perth to Sydney. Before and after his birth they lived in "Australia's last slum" Redfern. His mother wrote poems and short stories about him as a small child. His boilermaker father Les Flood suffered from untreated schizophrenia, and the family fled to Perth in 1958 as Les became increasingly dangerous. Flood completed a pure mathematics PhD in category theory and functional analysis at the Australian National University in Canberra in 1975, and wrote several other associated mathematics papers. To support his three children aged under four, he took a job as graduate clerk at the Bureau of Transport Economics, where he worked on a simulation of arid lands, dial-a-bus modelling, and a national rail wagon study. Here he learned computing, simulation modelling and data analysis. Australian career In 1977, Flood joined the CSIRO Division of Building Research at Highett, Victoria. Initially he worked on modelling the housing market, but switched to housing policy in 1982. He was one of the first CSIRO scientists to apply for government projects at open tender, and subsequently won nearly 50 research projects on his own behalf or leading teams. His first project, with SIROMATH, examined the employment created by housing construction and the market-purchase of public housing, using multi-regional input-output analysis. The study showed that housing had the best employment multiplier of any industry sector, because of a high labour component and relatively few imports. It was used by advocates to promote spending on public housing. His most influential project was the 1986 Housing Subsidy Study with Judith Yates, which enumerated about 200 Federal and State housing subsidy programmes in Australia. The study showed the subsidy system was unfairly distributed towards high

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%E2%80%93Yau%20conjecture
In mathematics, and especially symplectic geometry, the Thomas–Yau conjecture asks for the existence of a stability condition, similar to those which appear in algebraic geometry, which guarantees the existence of a solution to the special Lagrangian equation inside a Hamiltonian isotopy class of Lagrangian submanifolds. In particular the conjecture contains two difficulties: first it asks what a suitable stability condition might be, and secondly if one can prove stability of an isotopy class if and only if it contains a special Lagrangian representative. The Thomas–Yau conjecture was proposed by Richard Thomas and Shing-Tung Yau in 2001, and was motivated by similar theorems in algebraic geometry relating existence of solutions to geometric partial differential equations and stability conditions, especially the Kobayashi–Hitchin correspondence relating slope stable vector bundles to Hermitian Yang–Mills metrics. The conjecture is intimately related to mirror symmetry, a conjecture in string theory and mathematical physics which predicts that mirror to a symplectic manifold (which is a Calabi–Yau manifold) there should be another Calabi–Yau manifold for which the symplectic structure is interchanged with the complex structure. In particular mirror symmetry predicts that special Lagrangians, which are the Type IIA string theory model of BPS D-branes, should be interchanged with the same structures in the Type IIB model, which are given either by stable vector bundles or vector bundles admitting Hermitian Yang–Mills or possibly deformed Hermitian Yang–Mills metrics. Motivated by this, Dominic Joyce rephrased the Thomas–Yau conjecture in 2014, predicting that the stability condition may be understood using the theory of Bridgeland stability conditions defined on the Fukaya category of the Calabi–Yau manifold, which is a triangulated category appearing in Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry conjecture. Statement The statement of the Thomas–Yau conjecture is not completely precise, as the particular stability condition is not yet known. In the work of Thomas and Thomas–Yau, the stability condition was given in terms of the Lagrangian mean curvature flow inside the Hamiltonian isotopy class of the Lagrangian, but Joyce's reinterpretation of the conjecture predicts that this stability condition can be given a categorical or algebraic form in terms of Bridgeland stability conditions. Special Lagrangian submanifolds Consider a Calabi–Yau manifold of complex dimension , which is in particular a real symplectic manifold of dimension . Then a Lagrangian submanifold is a real -dimensional submanifold such that the symplectic form is identically zero when restricted to , that is . The holomorphic volume form , when restricted to a Lagrangian submanifold, becomes a top degree differential form. If the Lagrangian is oriented, then there exists a volume form on and one may compare this volume form to the restriction of the holomorphic volume form:

An aire d'attraction d'une ville (or AAV, literally meaning "catchment area of a city") is a statistical area used by France's national statistics office INSEE since 2020, officially translated as functional area in English by INSEE, which consists of a densely populated urban agglomeration and the surrounding exurbs, towns and intervening rural areas that are socioeconomically tied to the central urban agglomeration, as measured by commuting patterns. INSEE's functional area (AAV) is therefore akin to what is most often called metropolitan area in English. Definition INSEE's AAV follows the same definition as the Functional Urban Area (FUA) used by Eurostat and the OECD, and the AAVs are thus strictly comparable to the FUAs. Before 2020, INSEE used another metropolitan statistical area, the aire urbaine (AU), which was defined differently than the AAV, but the AU has now been discontinued and replaced with the AAV in order to facilitate international comparisons with Eurostat's FUAs. The functional area is a grouping of communes comprising a 'population and employment centre' (pôle de population et d'emploi in French), which Eurostat calls "city" or "greater city" (depending on the FUA), defined according to population and employment criteria, and an outlying 'commuting zone' (couronne in French), which Eurostats calls "commuting zone" in English, like INSEE, but zone de navettage in French (unlike INSEE which calls it couronne), in which at least 15% of the working population work in the population and employment centre. List of functional areas (AAV) The following is a list of the thirty five largest functional areas (AAV) in France, based on their population at the 2020 census. Population at the 2008 and 1990 censuses is indicated for comparison.

Neil J. Calkin (born 29 March 1961) is a professor at Clemson University in the Algebra and Discrete Mathematics group of the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. His interests are in combinatorial and probabilistic methods, mainly as applied to number theory. Together with Herbert Wilf he founded The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics in 1994. He and Wilf developed the Calkin–Wilf tree and the associated Calkin–Wilf sequence. Biography Neil Calkin was born 29 March 1961, in Hartford, Connecticut and moved to the UK around the age of 3. He grew up there and studied mathematics at Trinity College Cambridge before moving to Canada in 1984 to study in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo where he was awarded a PhD (1988) for his thesis "Sum-Free Sets and Measure Spaces" written under the supervision of Ian Peter Goulden. He was the Zeev Nehari Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University (1988—1991), an assistant professor at Georgia Tech (1991—1997), and joined the Algebra and Discrete Mathematics group of the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Clemson University in 1997. Calkin has an Erdös number of 1. He was one of the last people to collaborate with Erdős and once said of him, "One of my greatest regrets is that I didn't know him when he was a million times faster than most people. When I knew him he was only hundreds of times faster." Selected papers Books References External links Neil Calkin at the Mathematics Genealogy Project Neil J.
