In this work, we again use numerical simulations to show that MCF subject to initial perturbations that are not rotationally symmetric behaves asymptotically like it does for rotationally symmetric perturbations. In particular, if we impose sinusoidal angular dependence on the initial embeddings, we find that for perturbations near the tip, evolutions by MCF asymptotically lose their angular dependence—becoming round—and develop Type-II bowl soliton singularities. As well, if we impose sinusoidal angular dependence on the initial embeddings for perturbations sufficiently far from the tip, the angular dependence again disappears as Type-I neckpinch singularities develop. The numerical analysis carried out in this paper is an adaptation of the “overlap” method introduced in our previous work and permits angular dependence.","PeriodicalId":50464,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Mathematics","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135299541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We obtain new calculations of the top weight rational cohomology of the moduli spaces M 2 ,n , equivalently the rational homology of the tropical moduli spaces ∆ 2 ,n , as a representation of S n . These calculations are achieved fully for all n ≤ 10, and partially—for specific irreducible representations of S n —for n ≤ 22. We also present conjectures, verified up to n = 22, for the multiplicities of the irreducible representations std n and std n ⊗ sgn n . We achieve our calculations via a comparison with the homology of compactified configuration spaces of graphs. These homology groups are equipped with commuting actions of a symmetric group and the outer automorphism group of a free group. In this paper, we con-struct an efficient free resolution for these homology representations. Using the Peter-Weyl Theorem for symmetric groups, we consider irreducible representations individually, vastly simplifying the calculation of these homology representations from the free resolution.","PeriodicalId":50464,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Mathematics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48483672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By bounding the multiplicities of these locally-supported modes, in several cases we provide concrete lower bounds on this jump.

We first implement the algorithm in the case of $L$ shaped polygons where the algebraic curve is already known. The algorithm is also implemented in any genus for specific examples of Jenkins-Strebel representatives, a dense family of translation surfaces that, until now, lived squarely on the analytic side of the transcendental divide between Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves.

In some sense “most” ideals with fixed degrees of their generators have the same Hilbert series. There is a conjecture for the Hilbert series of those “generic” ideals, see below.
