Sup-norms of Eigenfunctions on Arithmetic Ellipsoids

Philippe Michel

Let B be a positive quaternion algebra, and let O subset of B be an Eichler order. There is associated, in a natural way, a variety X = X(O) the connected components of which are indexed by the ideal classes of O and are isomorphic to spheres. This variety ...

The jamming scenario—an introduction and outlook

Matthieu Wyart

The jamming scenario of disordered media, formulated about ten years ago, has in recent years been advanced by analyzing model systems of granular media. This has led to various new concepts that are increasingly being explored a variety of systems. This c ...
