These are not the kinds of objects that concern Scott Sheffield. Sheffield, a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studies shapes that are constructed by random ...

This paper gives the exact evaluation of the shape density on the shape space Σ (S2,3) for a labelled random spherical triangle whose vertices are i.i.d.-uniform in a 'cap' of S2 bounded by a 'small' ...

Random sequential adsorption (RSA) serves as a fundamental stochastic model describing the irreversible deposition of particles onto a substrate in a sequential, non-overlapping manner. This process ...
