Limitations of the least squares estimators; a teaching perspective
(Athens Institute for Education and Research, 2016)The standard linear regression model can be written as Y = Xβ+ε with X a full rank n × p matrix and L(ε) = N(0, σ2In). The least squares estimator is = (X΄X)−1XY with variance-covariance matrix Coυ( ) = σ2(X΄X)−1, where ... -
A note on the computation of symmetric powers of hyperbolic forms and of trace froms on symbol algebras
(Scientific Advances Publishers, 2014)Let K be a field with characteristic different from 2 and let S be a symbol algebra over K. We compute the symmetric powers of hyperbolic quadratic forms over K. Also, we compute the symmetric powers of the quadratic trace ... -
Generalized vector bundles on curves (Pre-published version)
(de Gruyter, 1998)In their paper [14] G. Harder and M.S. Narasimhan (and independently D. Quillen) have constructed a canonical flag of subbundles on any vector bundle on a complete smooth algebraic curve over a field. This flag measures ... -
Moduli schemes of generically simple Azumaya modules
(Documenta Mathematica, 2005)Let A be an Azumaya algebra over a smooth projective variety X or more generally, a torsion free coherent sheaf of algebras over X whose generic fiber is a central simple algebra. We show that generically simple torsion ... -
Mitigating collinearity in linear regression models using ridge, surrogate and raised estimators
(Cogent OA, 2016)Collinearity in the design matrix is a frequent problem in linear regression models, for example, with economic or medical data. Previous standard procedures to mitigate the effects of collinearity included ridge regression ... -
Response surface designs using the generalized variance inflation factors
(Cogent OA, 2015)We study response surface designs using the generalized variance inflation factors for subsets as an extension of the variance inflation factors. -
Ireland's participation in the 50th international mathematical olympiad
(Irish Mathematical Society, 2009)The 50th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) took place in Bremen (Germany) from 12th July until 22nd July 2009. With 565 participants (59 of whom were girls) from 104 countries, this was the IMO with the largest ... -
Minimizing oblique errors for robust estimating
(Irish Mathematical Society, 2008)The slope of the best fit line from minimizing the sum of the squared oblique errors is shown to be the root of a polynomial of degree four. We introduce a median estimator for the slope and, using a case study, we show ... -
Analytic moduli spaces of simple sheaves on families of integral curves (Pre-print version)
(Wiley, 2013)We prove the existence of fine moduli spaces of simple coherent sheaves on families of irreducible curves. Our proof is based on the existence of a universal upper bound of the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of such sheaves, ... -
Solving cubic equations in two variables
(Irish Mathematical Society, 2007)After recalling a geometric construction of all Pythagorean triples of integers, the same idea is applied to find rational solutions of cubic equations in two variables. This leads to the definition of the Mordell-Weil ... -

The Belavin-Drinfeld theorem on non-degenerate solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation
(IOP Publishing, 2010)We give a coordinate free proof of Belavin and Drinfeld's Theorem about the classi cation of non-degenerate solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. The equivalence of different characterisations of non-degeneracy ... -
Algebraic dimension of twistor spaces whose fundamental system is a pencil (pre-published version)
(London Mathematical Society, 2017)We show that the algebraic dimension of a twistor space over nℂℙ2 cannot be two if n>4 and the fundamental system (that is, the linear system associated to the half‐anti‐canonical bundle, which is available on any twistor ... -
Moishezon twistor spaces without effective divisors of degree one (pre-published version)
(Universität Kaiserslautern, 1995)We study simply connected compact twistor spaces Z of positive type. Assuming that the fundamental linear system j \Gamma 1 2 Kj is at least a pencil, we prove the following theorem: the existence of an irreducible curve ... -
Twistor spaces with a pencil of fundamental divisors
(Documenta Mathematica, 1999)In this paper simply connected twistor spaces Z containing a pencil of fundamental divisors are studied. The Riemannian base for such spaces is diffeomorphic to the connected sum nCP2 . We obtain for n 5 a complete ... -
Homological algebra with locally compact abelian groups (Pre-published Version)
(Elsevier, 2007)In this article we study locally compact abelian (LCA) groups from the viewpoint of derived categories, using that their category is quasi-abelian in the sense of J.-P. Schneiders. We define a well-behaved derived Hom-complex ... -
Some moduli stacks of symplectic bundles on a curve are rational (Pre-published version)
(Elsevier, 2008)Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus g ≥ 2 over a field k. Given a line bundle L on C, let Sympl2n,L be the moduli stack of vector bundles E of rank 2n on C endowed with a nowhere degenerate symplectic form b : E ⊗ ... -
Einstein-Hermitian connection on twisted Higgs bundles (Pre-published Version)
(Elsevier Masson, 2010)Let X be a smooth projective variety over C. We prove that a twisted Higgs vector bundle (E , θ) on X admits an Einstein–Hermitian connection if and only if (E , θ) is polystable. A similar result for twisted vector bundles ... -
Torelli theorem for the Deligne-Hitchin moduli space (Pre-published version)
(Springer Verlag, 2009)Fix integers g ≥ 3 and r ≥ 2, with r ≥ 3 if g = 3. Given a compact connected Riemann surface X of genus g, let M DH (X) denote the corresponding SL(r,C) Deligne–Hitchin moduli space. We prove that the complex analytic ... -
The moduli stack of vector bundles on a curve (Pre-published Version)
(Ramanujan Mathematical Society, 2010)This expository text tries to explain brie y and not too technically the notions of stack and algebraic stack, emphasizing as an example the moduli stack of vector bundles on an algebraic curve.
