There does not exist any ordering or any distance between these categories. At each level there are measured some metric or categorical values. We introduce a new method of scaling based on statistical decisions. For this we define empirical probabilities for the original observations and find a class of distributions in a metric space where these empirical probabilities can be found as approximations for equivalently defined probabilities. With this method we identify probabilities connected with the categorical data and probabilities in metric spaces.

We approach this question firstly from a strictly probabilistic viewpoint, and secondly from the standpoint of risk analysis related to the extinction of a particular model of population dynamics. In this context we propose several statistical tools. The population size is modeled by a branching process, which is either a continuous-time multitype Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson process (BGWc), or its continuous-state counterpart, the multitype Feller diffsion process. We are interested in different kinds of conditioning on nonextinction, and in the associated equilibrium states. These ways of conditioning have been widely studied in the monotype case. However the literature on multitype processes is much less extensive, and there is no systematic work establishing connections between the results for BGWc processes and those for Feller diffusion processes. In the first part of this thesis, we investigate the behavior of the population before its extinction by conditioning the associated branching process Xt on non-extinction (Xt 6= 0), or more generally on non-extinction in a near future 0 < 1 (Xt+ 0 = 0), and by letting t tend to infinity. We prove the result, new in the multitype framework and for 0 > 0, that this limit exists and is nondegenerate. This re ects a stationary behavior for the dynamics of the population conditioned on non-extinction, and provides a generalization of the so-called Yaglom limit, corresponding to the case 0 = 0. In a second step we study the behavior of the population in case of a very late extinction, obtained as the limit when 0 tends to infinity of the process conditioned by Xt+ 0 = 0. The resulting conditioned process is a known object in the monotype case (sometimes referred to as Q-process), and has also been studied when Xt is a multitype Feller diffusion process. We investigate the not yet considered case where Xt is a multitype BGWc process and prove the existence of the associated Q-process. In addition, we examine its properties, including the asymptotic ones, and propose several interpretations of the process. Finally, we are interested in interchanging the limits in t and 0, as well as in the not yet studied commutativity of these limits with respect to the high-density-type relationship between BGWc processes and Feller processes. We prove an original and exhaustive list of all possible exchanges of limit (long-time limit in t, increasing delay of extinction 0, diffusion limit). The second part of this work is devoted to the risk analysis related both to the extinction of a population and to its very late extinction. We consider a branching population model (arising notably in the epidemiological context) for which a parameter related to the first moments of the offspring distribution is unknown. We build several estimators adapted to different stages of evolution of the population (phase growth, decay phase, and decay phase when extinction is expected very late), and prove moreover their asymptotic properties (consistency, normality). In particular, we build a least squares estimator adapted to the Q-process, allowing a prediction of the population development in the case of a very late extinction. This would correspond to the best or to the worst-case scenario, depending on whether the population is threatened or invasive. These tools enable us to study the extinction phase of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy epidemic in Great Britain, for which we estimate the infection parameter corresponding to a possible source of horizontal infection persisting after the removal in 1988 of the major route of infection (meat and bone meal). This allows us to predict the evolution of the spread of the disease, including the year of extinction, the number of future cases and the number of infected animals. In particular, we produce a very fine analysis of the evolution of the epidemic in the unlikely event of a very late extinction.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Kuxhaus2010, author = {Kuxhaus, Olga}, title = {Parametrische Sch{\"a}tzungen von elliptischen Copulafunktionen}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-51681}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Aus dem Inhalt: Inhaltsverzeichnis Abbildungsverzeichnis Tabellenverzeichnis 1 Einleitung und Motivation 2 Multivariate Copulafunktionen 2.1 Einleitung 2.2 Satz von Sklar 2.3 Eigenschaften von Copulafunktionen 3 Abh{\"a}ngigkeitskonzepte 3.1 Lineare Korrelation 3.2 Copulabasierte Abh{\"a}ngigkeitsmaße 3.2.1 Konkordanz 3.2.2 Kendall's und Spearman's 3.2.3 Asymptotische Randabh{\"a}ngigkeit 4 Elliptische Copulaklasse 4.1 Sph{\"a}rische und elliptische Verteilungen 4.2 Normal-Copula 4.3 t-Copula 5 Parametrische Sch{\"a}tzverfahren 5.1 Maximum-Likelihood-Methode 5.1.1 ExakteMaximum-Likelihood-Methode 5.1.2 2-stufige parametrische Maximum-Likelihood-Methode 5.1.3 2-stufige semiparametrische Maximum-Likelihood-Methode 5.2 Momentenmethode 5.3 Kendall's -Momentenmethode 6 Parametersch{\"a}tzungen f{\"u}r Normal- und t-Copula 6.1 Normal-Copula 6.1.1 Maximum-Likelihood-Methode 6.1.2 Momentenmethode 6.1.3 Kendall's Momentenmethode 6.1.4 Spearman's Momentenmethode 6.2 t-Copula 6.2.1 Verfahren 1 (exakte ML-Methode) 6.2.2 Verfahren 2 (2-stufige rekursive ML-Methode) 6.2.3 Verfahren 3 (2-stufige KM-ML-Methode) 6.2.4 Verfahren 4 (3-stufige M-ML-Methode) 7 Simulationen 7.1 Grundlagen 7.2 Parametrischer Fall 7.3 Nichtparametrischer Fall 7.4 Fazit A Programmausschnitt Literaturverzeichnis}, language = {de} } @unpublished{Voss2010, author = {Voss, Carola Regine}, title = {Harness-Prozesse}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-49651}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Harness-Prozesse finden in der Forschung immer mehr Anwendung.

The ecological parameters of the individual dynamics depend on the number of cells of each type contained by the individual and the cell dynamics depends on the trait of the invaded individual. Our models are rooted in the microscopic description of a random (discrete) population of individuals characterized by one or several adaptive traits and cells characterized by their type. The population is modeled as a stochastic point process whose generator captures the probabilistic dynamics over continuous time of birth, mutation and death for individuals and birth and death for cells. The interaction between individuals (resp. between cells) is described by a competition between individual traits (resp. between cell types). We look for tractable large population approximations. By combining various scalings on population size, birth and death rates and mutation step, the single microscopic model is shown to lead to contrasting nonlinear macroscopic limits of different nature: deterministic approximations, in the form of ordinary, integro- or partial differential equations, or probabilistic ones, like stochastic partial differential equations or superprocesses.

Eine der bemerkenswertesten Vorhersagen dieses Ansatzes ist die Erzeugung von Teilchen durch die gekr{\"u}mmte Raumzeit selbst, wie zum Beispiel durch Hawkings Verdampfen schwarzer L{\"o}cher und den Unruh Effekt. Andererseits deuten diese Aspekte bereits an, dass fundamentale Grundpfeiler der Theorie auf dem Minkowskiraum, insbesondere ein ausgezeichneter Vakuumzustand und damit verbunden der Teilchenbegriff, f{\"u}r allgemeine gekr{\"u}mmte Raumzeiten keine sinnvolle Entsprechung besitzen. Gleichermaßen ben{\"o}tigen wir eine alternative Implementierung von Kovarianz in die Theorie, da gekr{\"u}mmte Raumzeiten im Allgemeinen keine nicht-triviale globale Symmetrie aufweisen. Letztere Problematik konnte im Rahmen lokal-kovarianter Quantenfeldtheorie gel{\"o}st werden, wohingegen die Abwesenheit entsprechender Konzepte f{\"u}r Vakuum und Teilchen in diesem allgemeinen Fall inzwischen sogar in Form von no-go-Aussagen manifestiert wurde. Beim algebraischen Ansatz f{\"u}r eine Quantenfeldtheorie werden zun{\"a}chst Observablen eingef{\"u}hrt und erst anschließend Zust{\"a}nde via Zuordnung von Erwartungswerten. Obwohl die Observablen unter physikalischen Gesichtspunkten konstruiert werden, existiert dennoch eine große Anzahl von m{\"o}glichen Zust{\"a}nden, von denen viele, aus physikalischen Blickwinkeln betrachtet, nicht sinnvoll sind. Dieses Konzept von Zust{\"a}nden ist daher noch zu allgemein und bedarf weiterer physikalisch motivierter Einschr{\"a}nkungen. Beispielsweise ist es nat{\"u}rlich, sich im Falle freier Quantenfeldtheorien mit linearen Feldgleichungen auf quasifreie Zust{\"a}nde zu konzentrieren. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus ist die Renormierung von Erwartungswerten f{\"u}r Produkte von Feldern von zentraler Bedeutung. Dies betrifft insbesondere den Energie-Impuls-Tensor, dessen Erwartungswert durch distributionelle Bil{\"o}sungen der Feldgleichungen gegeben ist. Tats{\"a}chlich liefert J. Hadamard Theorie hyperbolischer Differentialgleichungen Bil{\"o}sungen mit festem singul{\"a}ren Anteil, so dass ein geeignetes Renormierungsverfahren definiert werden kann. Die sogenannte Hadamard-Bedingung an Bidistributionen steht f{\"u}r die Forderung einer solchen Singularit{\"a}tenstruktur und sie hat sich etabliert als nat{\"u}rliche Verallgemeinerung der f{\"u}r flache Raumzeiten formulierten Spektralbedingung. Seit Radzikowskis wegweisenden Resultaten l{\"a}sst sie sich außerdem lokal ausdr{\"u}cken, n{\"a}mlich als eine Bedingung an die Wellenfrontenmenge der Bil{\"o}sung. Diese Formulierung schl{\"a}gt eine Br{\"u}cke zu der von Duistermaat und H{\"o}rmander entwickelten mikrolokalen Analysis, die seitdem bei der {\"U}berpr{\"u}fung der Hadamard-Bedingung sowie der Konstruktion von Hadamard Zust{\"a}nden vielfach Verwendung findet und rasante Fortschritte auf diesem Gebiet ausgel{\"o}st hat. Obwohl unverzichtbar f{\"u}r die Analyse der Charakteristiken von Operatoren und ihrer Parametrizen sind die Methoden und Aussagen der mikrolokalen Analysis ungeeignet f{\"u}r die Analyse von nicht-singul{\"a}ren Strukturen und zentrale Aussagen sind typischerweise bis auf glatte Anteile formuliert.

Conventionally, this involves univariable and deterministic stage-damage functions. Recent advancements in the field promote the use of multivariable and probabilistic loss models, which consider variables beyond inundation depth and account for prediction uncertainty. Although companies contribute significantly to total loss figures, novel modeling approaches for companies are lacking. Scarce data and the heterogeneity among companies impede the development of company flood loss models. We present three multivariable flood loss models for companies from the manufacturing, commercial, financial, and service sector that intrinsically quantify prediction uncertainty. Based on object-level loss data (n = 1,306), we comparatively evaluate the predictive capacity of Bayesian networks, Bayesian regression, and random forest in relation to deterministic and probabilistic stage-damage functions, serving as benchmarks. The company loss data stem from four postevent surveys in Germany between 2002 and 2013 and include information on flood intensity, company characteristics, emergency response, private precaution, and resulting loss to building, equipment, and goods and stock. We find that the multivariable probabilistic models successfully identify and reproduce essential relationships of flood damage processes in the data. The assessment of model skill focuses on the precision of the probabilistic predictions and reveals that the candidate models outperform the stage-damage functions, while differences among the proposed models are negligible.

It is generated by the geodynamo in the Earth's outer core and has a rich dynamic on various timescales. Global models of the field are used to study the interaction of the field and incoming charged particles, but also to infer core dynamics and to feed numerical simulations of the geodynamo. Modern satellite missions, such as the SWARM or the CHAMP mission, support high resolution reconstructions of the global field. From the 19 th century on, a global network of magnetic observatories has been established. It is growing ever since and global models can be constructed from the data it provides. Geomagnetic field models that extend further back in time rely on indirect observations of the field, i.e. thermoremanent records such as burnt clay or volcanic rocks and sediment records from lakes and seas. These indirect records come with (partially very large) uncertainties, introduced by the complex measurement methods and the dating procedure. Focusing on thermoremanent records only, the aim of this thesis is the development of a new modeling strategy for the global geomagnetic field during the Holocene, which takes the uncertainties into account and produces realistic estimates of the reliability of the model. This aim is approached by first considering snapshot models, in order to address the irregular spatial distribution of the records and the non-linear relation of the indirect observations to the field itself. In a Bayesian setting, a modeling algorithm based on Gaussian process regression is developed and applied to binned data. The modeling algorithm is then extended to the temporal domain and expanded to incorporate dating uncertainties. Finally, the algorithm is sequentialized to deal with numerical challenges arising from the size of the Holocene dataset. The central result of this thesis, including all of the aspects mentioned, is a new global geomagnetic field model. It covers the whole Holocene, back until 12000 BCE, and we call it ArchKalmag14k. When considering the uncertainties that are produced together with the model, it is evident that before 6000 BCE the thermoremanent database is not sufficient to support global models. For times more recent, ArchKalmag14k can be used to analyze features of the field under consideration of posterior uncertainties. The algorithm for generating ArchKalmag14k can be applied to different datasets and is provided to the community as an open source python package.}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Dahl2021, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Dahl, Dorothee Sophie}, title = {Let's have FUN!

In the case where a boundary is present Atiyah, Patodi and Singer provide an index theorem for compact Riemannian manifolds by introducing non-local boundary conditions obtained via the spectral decomposition of an induced boundary operator, so called APS boundary conditions. B{\"a}r and Strohmaier prove a Lorentzian version of this index theorem for the Dirac operator on a manifold with boundary by utilizing results from APS and the characterization of the spectral flow by Phillips. In their case the Lorentzian manifold is assumed to be globally hyperbolic and spatially compact, and the induced boundary operator is given by the Riemannian Dirac operator on a spacelike Cauchy hypersurface. Their results show that imposing APS boundary conditions for these boundary operator will yield a Fredholm operator with a smooth kernel and its index can be calculated by a formula similar to the Riemannian case. Back in the Riemannian setting, B{\"a}r and Ballmann provide an analysis of the most general kind of boundary conditions that can be imposed on a first order elliptic differential operator that will still yield regularity for solutions as well as Fredholm property for the resulting operator. These boundary conditions can be thought of as deformations to the graph of a suitable operator mapping APS boundary conditions to their orthogonal complement. This thesis aims at applying the boundary conditions found by B{\"a}r and Ballmann to a Lorentzian setting to understand more general types of boundary conditions for the Dirac operator, conserving Fredholm property as well as providing regularity results and relative index formulas for the resulting operators. As it turns out, there are some differences in applying these graph-type boundary conditions to the Lorentzian Dirac operator when compared to the Riemannian setting. It will be shown that in contrast to the Riemannian case, going from a Fredholm boundary condition to its orthogonal complement works out fine in the Lorentzian setting. On the other hand, in order to deduce Fredholm property and regularity of solutions for graph-type boundary conditions, additional assumptions for the deformation maps need to be made. The thesis is organized as follows. In chapter 1 basic facts about Lorentzian and Riemannian spin manifolds, their spinor bundles and the Dirac operator are listed. These will serve as a foundation to define the setting and prove the results of later chapters. Chapter 2 defines the general notion of boundary conditions for the Dirac operator used in this thesis and introduces the APS boundary conditions as well as their graph type deformations. Also the role of the wave evolution operator in finding Fredholm boundary conditions is analyzed and these boundary conditions are connected to notion of Fredholm pairs in a given Hilbert space. Chapter 3 focuses on the principal symbol calculation of the wave evolution operator and the results are used to proof Fredholm property as well as regularity of solutions for suitable graph-type boundary conditions. Also sufficient conditions are derived for (pseudo-)local boundary conditions imposed on the Dirac operator to yield a Fredholm operator with a smooth solution space. In the last chapter 4, a few examples of boundary conditions are calculated applying the results of previous chapters. Restricting to special geometries and/or boundary conditions, results can be obtained that are not covered by the more general statements, and it is shown that so-called transmission conditions behave very differently than in the Riemannian setting.}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Engelhardt2021, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Engelhardt, Max Angel Ronan}, title = {Zwischen Simulation und Beweis - eine mathematische Analyse des Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson-Prozesses und sein Einsatz innerhalb des Mathematikunterrichts}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-52447}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-524474}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {117}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Die Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson Prozesse k{\"o}nnen f{\"u}r die Untersuchung von speziellen und sich entwickelnden Populationen verwendet werden.

Außerdem werden die ben{\"o}tigten und weiterf{\"u}hrenden Eigenschaften der grundlegenden Themengebiete und der Prozesse aufgef{\"u}hrt und bewiesen. Das Kapitel erreicht seinen H{\"o}hepunkt bei dem Beweis des Kritikalit{\"a}tstheorems, wodurch eine Aussage {\"u}ber das Aussterben des Prozesses in verschiedenen F{\"a}llen und somit {\"u}ber die Aussterbewahrscheinlichkeit get{\"a}tigt werden kann. Die F{\"a}lle werden anhand der zu erwartenden Anzahl an Nachkommen eines Individuums unterschieden. Es zeigt sich, dass ein Prozess bei einer zu erwartenden Anzahl kleiner gleich Eins mit Sicherheit ausstirbt und bei einer Anzahl gr{\"o}ßer als Eins, die Population nicht in jedem Fall aussterben muss. Danach werden einzelne Beispiele, wie der linear fractional case, die Population von Fibroblasten (Bindegewebszellen) von M{\"a}usen und die Entstehungsfragestellung der Prozesse, angef{\"u}hrt. Diese werden mithilfe der erlangten Ergebnisse untersucht und einige ausgew{\"a}hlte zuf{\"a}llige Dynamiken werden im nachfolgenden Kapitel simuliert. Die Simulationen erfolgen durch ein in Python erstelltes Programm und werden mithilfe der Inversionsmethode realisiert. Die Simulationen stellen beispielhaft die Entwicklungen in den verschiedenen Kritikalit{\"a}tsf{\"a}llen der Prozesse dar. Zudem werden die H{\"a}ufigkeiten der einzelnen Populationsgr{\"o}ßen in Form von Histogrammen angebracht. Dabei l{\"a}sst sich der Unterschied zwischen den einzelnen F{\"a}llen best{\"a}tigen und es wird die Anwendungsm{\"o}glichkeit der Bienaym{\´e}-Galton-Watson Prozesse bei komplexeren Problemen deutlich.

Untersucht wurde exemplarisch das Wissen der Lehramtsstudierenden im Bereich der rationalen Zahlen mit dem Fokus auf dem Verst{\"a}ndnis der Dichte von Bruchzahlen. Die Dichte stellt eines der am schwierigsten zu erwerbenden Konzepte im Bruchzahlerwerb dar und fordert ein konzeptionelles Umdenken sowie die Reorganisation bereits erworbener Vorstellungen. Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurden in einer qualitativen Studie 112 Lehramtsstudierende hinsichtlich ihres Wissens zu dem Thema Dichte von rationalen Zahlen schriftlich getestet. Um Denkprozesse der Studierenden zu verstehen und Denkh{\"u}rden zu identifizieren, wurden zus{\"a}tzlich qualitative Interviews in Form von Gruppendiskussionen gef{\"u}hrt. Die Daten wurden mithilfe der Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse computergest{\"u}tzt ausgewertet. Es zeigte sich eine große Bandbreite verschiedener Wissensbest{\"a}nde. Die Ergebnisse im fachdidaktischen Wissen blieben hinter den Ergebnissen im fachwissenschaftlichen Wissen zur{\"u}ck. Am schwierigsten fiel den Studierenden die Gegen{\"u}berstellung von wesentlichen Eigenschaften der rationalen und nat{\"u}rlichen Zahlen auf der metakognitiven Ebene. Neben positiven Ergebnissen, welche f{\"u}r die Effektivit{\"a}t der Konzeption der Lehrveranstaltung sprechen, zeigten sich diverse Denkh{\"u}rden. Defizite im Fachwissen wie ein mangelndes Verst{\"a}ndnis von {\"a}quivalenten Br{\"u}chen oder Fehler im Erweitern von Br{\"u}chen enth{\"u}llen unzul{\"a}nglich ausgebildete Grundvorstellungen im Bereich der rationalen Zahlen seitens der Studierenden. Schwierigkeiten in den fachdidaktischen Aufgaben wie die Formulierung einer kindgerechten Erkl{\"a}rung oder die anschauliche Darstellung des mathematischen Inhalts auf bildlicher Ebene lassen sich urs{\"a}chlich auf die Defizite im Fachwissen zur{\"u}ckf{\"u}hren. Zus{\"a}tzlich stellten sich Einschr{\"a}nkungen seitens der Studierenden in der Motivation und Relevanzzuschreibung heraus. Die Ergebnisse f{\"u}hren zu gezielten {\"A}nderungsvorschl{\"a}gen bez{\"u}glich der Konzeption der Lehrveranstaltung. Es wird empfohlen, verschiedene Lernangebote wie Hausaufgaben und w{\"o}chentliche Selbsttests zur individuellen Lernzielkontrolle f{\"u}r alle Teilnehmenden der Lehrveranstaltung verpflichtend zu gestalten und motivationale Aspekte verst{\"a}rkt aufzugreifen. Zus{\"a}tzlich wird der Ausbau von konkreten {\"U}bungen auf der enaktiven Ebene empfohlen, um den Aufbau von notwendigen Grundvorstellungen im Bereich der rationalen Zahlen zu f{\"o}rdern und somit Denkh{\"u}rden gezielt zu begegnen.}, language = {de} } @article{GueneysuKeller2020, author = {G{\"u}neysu, Batu and Keller, Matthias}, title = {Feynman path integrals for magnetic Schr{\"o}dinger operators on infinite weighted graphs}, series = {Journal d'analyse math{\´e}matique}, volume = {141}, journal = {Journal d'analyse math{\´e}matique}, number = {2}, publisher = {The Magnes Press, the Hebrew Univ.}, address = {Jerusalem}, issn = {0021-7670}, doi = {10.1007/s11854-020-0110-y}, pages = {751 -- 770}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We prove a Feynman path integral formula for the unitary group exp(-itL(nu,theta)), t >= 0, associated with a discrete magnetic Schrodinger operator L-nu,L-theta on a large class of weighted infinite graphs.

Recently, B{\"a}r and Strohmaier [15] and Drago, Große, and Murro [27] introduced APS-like conditions for the spin Dirac operator on Lorentzian manifolds with spacelike and timelike boundary, respectively. While B{\"a}r and Strohmaier [15] showed the Fredholmness of the Dirac operator with these boundary conditions, Drago, Große, and Murro [27] proved the well-posedness of the corresponding initial boundary value problem under certain geometric assumptions. In this thesis, we will follow the footsteps of the latter authors and discuss whether the APS-like conditions for Dirac operators on Lorentzian manifolds with timelike boundary can be replaced by more general conditions such that the associated initial boundary value problems are still wellposed. We consider boundary conditions that are local in time and non-local in the spatial directions. More precisely, we use the spacetime foliation arising from the Cauchy temporal function and split the Dirac operator along this foliation. This gives rise to a family of elliptic operators each acting on spinors of the spin bundle over the corresponding timeslice. The theory of elliptic operators then ensures that we can find families of non-local boundary conditions with respect to this family of operators. Proceeding, we use such a family of boundary conditions to define a Lorentzian boundary condition on the whole timelike boundary. By analyzing the properties of the Lorentzian boundary conditions, we then find sufficient conditions on the family of non-local boundary conditions that lead to the well-posedness of the corresponding Cauchy problems. The well-posedness itself will then be proven by using classical tools including energy estimates and approximation by solutions of the regularized problems. Moreover, we use this theory to construct explicit boundary conditions for the Lorentzian Dirac operator. More precisely, we will discuss two examples of boundary conditions - the analogue of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer and the chirality conditions, respectively, in our setting. For doing this, we will have a closer look at the theory of non-local boundary conditions for elliptic operators and analyze the requirements on the family of non-local boundary conditions for these specific examples.}, language = {en} } @article{MauerbergerSchannerKorteetal.2020, author = {Mauerberger, Stefan and Schanner, Maximilian Arthus and Korte, Monika and Holschneider, Matthias}, title = {Correlation based snapshot models of the archeomagnetic field}, series = {Geophysical journal international}, volume = {223}, journal = {Geophysical journal international}, number = {1}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.

The first part is devoted to an algebraic formulation of the locality principle in physics and generalisations of classification theorems such as Milnor-Moore and Poincar{\´e}-Birkhoff-Witt theorems to the locality framework. The locality principle roughly says that events that take place far apart in spacetime do not infuence each other. The algebraic formulation of this principle discussed here is useful when analysing singularities which arise from events located far apart in space, in order to renormalise them while keeping a memory of the fact that they do not influence each other. We start by endowing a vector space with a symmetric relation, named the locality relation, which keeps track of elements that are "locally independent". The pair of a vector space together with such relation is called a pre-locality vector space. This concept is extended to tensor products allowing only tensors made of locally independent elements. We extend this concept to the locality tensor algebra, and locality symmetric algebra of a pre-locality vector space and prove the universal properties of each of such structures. We also introduce the pre-locality Lie algebras, together with their associated locality universal enveloping algebras and prove their universal property. We later upgrade all such structures and results from the pre-locality to the locality context, requiring the locality relation to be compatible with the linear structure of the vector space. This allows us to define locality coalgebras, locality bialgebras, and locality Hopf algebras. Finally, all the previous results are used to prove the locality version of the Milnor-Moore and the Poincar{\´e}-Birkhoff-Witt theorems. It is worth noticing that the proofs presented, not only generalise the results in the usual (non-locality) setup, but also often use less tools than their counterparts in their non-locality counterparts. The second part is devoted to study the polar structure of the Shintani zeta functions. Such functions, which generalise the Riemman zeta function, multiple zeta functions, Mordell-Tornheim zeta functions, among others, are parametrised by matrices with real non-negative arguments. It is known that Shintani zeta functions extend to meromorphic functions with poles on afine hyperplanes. We refine this result in showing that the poles lie on hyperplanes parallel to the facets of certain convex polyhedra associated to the defining matrix for the Shintani zeta function. Explicitly, the latter are the Newton polytopes of the polynomials induced by the columns of the underlying matrix. We then prove that the coeficients of the equation which describes the hyperplanes in the canonical basis are either zero or one, similar to the poles arising when renormalising generic Feynman amplitudes. For that purpose, we introduce an algorithm to distribute weight over a graph such that the weight at each vertex satisfies a given lower bound.}, language = {en} } @article{ShlapunovTarchanov2021, author = {Shlapunov, Alexander and Tarchanov, Nikolaj Nikolaevič}, title = {An open mapping theorem for the Navier-Stokes type equations associated with the de Rham complex over R-n}, series = {Siberian electronic mathematical reports = Sibirskie ėlektronnye matematičeskie izvestija}, volume = {18}, journal = {Siberian electronic mathematical reports = Sibirskie ėlektronnye matematičeskie izvestija}, number = {2}, publisher = {Institut Matematiki Imeni S.

Sources that most significantly contribute to the field measured at the surface of the Earth are modelled. Their separation is based on strong prior information on their spatial and temporal behaviours. We obtain a time series of model distributions which display behaviours similar to those of recent models based on more classic approaches, particularly at large temporal and spatial scales. Interesting new features and periodicities are visible in our models at smaller time and spatial scales. An important aspect of our method is to yield reliable error bars for all model parameters.
