Matroid Stratifications of Hypergraph Varieties, Their Realization Spaces, and Discrete Conditional Independence Models
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-01)We study varieties associated to hypergraphs from the point of view of projective geometry and matroid theory. We describe their decompositions into matroid varieties, which may be reducible and can have arbitrary singularities by the Mnëv–Sturmfels universality theorem. We focus on various families of hypergraph varieties for which we explicitly compute an irredundant irreducible decomposition. Our ... -
The MAX Effect in an Oil Exporting Country: The Case of Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-29)This paper assesses the effects of investors’ lottery-seeking behavior on expected returns in the Norwegian equity market, a relatively small equity market dominated by the energy industry.

Maximilian Hell (1720–92) and the Ends of Jesuit Science in Enlightenment Europe
(Book; Bok, 2020)The Viennese Jesuit court astronomer Maximilian Hell was a nodal figure in the eighteenth-century circulation of knowledge. He was already famous by the time of his celebrated 1769 expedition for the observation of the transit of Venus in northern Scandinavia. However, the 1773 suppression of his order forced Hell to develop ingenious strategies of accommodation to changing international and domestic ... -

Measuring small-scale plasma irregularities in the high-latitude E- and F-regions simultaneously
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-18)The ionosphere, Earth’s space environment, exhibits widespread turbulent structuring, or plasma irregularities, visualized by the auroral displays seen in Earth’s polar regions. Such plasma irregularities have been studied for decades, but plasma turbulence remains an elusive phenomenon. We combine scale-dependent measurements from a ground-based radar with satellite observations to characterize ... -
