We consider the motion of the interface of a 3-D inviscid, incompressible, irrotational water wave, with air region above water region and surface tension zero. We prove that the motion of the interface of the water wave is not subject to Taylor instability, as long as the interface separates the whole 3-D space into two simply connected

The Schur process is a time-dependent analog of the Schur measure on partitions studied by A. Okounkov inInfinite wedge and random partitions, Selecta Math., New Ser.7(2001), 57–81. Our first result is that the correlation functions of the Schur process are determinants with a kernel that has a nice contour integral representation in terms of the parameters of the process. This general result is t...

This is the first of a series of three papers which prove the fact that a K-stable Fano manifold admits a Kähler-Einstein metric. The main result of this paper is that a Kähler-Einstein metric with cone singularities along a divisor can be approximated by a sequence of smooth Kähler metrics with controlled geometry in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense.

We formulate and prove a variational principle (in the sense of thermodynamics) for random domino tilings, or equivalently for the dimer model on a square grid. This principle states that a typical tiling of an arbitrary finite region can be described by a function that maximizes an entropy integral. We associate an entropy to every sort of local behavior domino tilings can exhibit, and prove that...

The variational techniques (e.g. the total variation based method) are well established and effective for image restoration, as well as many other applications, while the wavelet frame based approach is relatively new and came from a different school. This paper is designed to establish a connection between these two major approaches for image restoration. The main result of this paper shows that ...
