Journal Article
Alonso-Gutiérrez, D., Dafnis, N., Cifre, M. Á. H., & Prochno, J. (2014). On Mean Outer Radii of Random Polytopes. Indiana University Mathematics Journal, 63(2), 579-595

In this paper we introduce a new sequence of quantities for random polytopes. Let $K_N=\conv\{X_1,...,X_N\}$ be a random polytope generated by independent random vectors uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body K of $\R^n$. We prove that the...

We formulate the theory of a 2-form gauge field on a Euclidean spacetime lattice. In this approach, the fundamental degrees of freedom live on the faces of the lattice, and the action can be constructed from the sum over Wilson surfaces associated wi... Read More about Lattice gerbe theory.

In this paper we develop models for multivariate financial bubbles and antibubbles based on statistical physics. In particular, we extend a rich set of univariate models to higher dimensions. Changes in market regime can be explicitly shown to repres... Read More about Multivariate bubbles and antibubbles.

The largest subsemilattices of the endomorphism monoid of an independence algebra (2014)
Journal Article

An algebra A is said to be an independence algebra if it is a matroid algebra and every map α:X→A, defined on a basis X of A, can be extended to an endomorphism of A. These algebras are particularly well-behaved generalizations of vector spaces, and... Read More about The largest subsemilattices of the endomorphism monoid of an independence algebra.
