In this article we show how to compute the semiclassical spectral measure associated with the Schr¨odinger operator on Rn, and, by examining the first few terms in the asymptotic expansion of this measure, obtain inverse spectral results in one and two dimensions. (In particular we show that for the Schr¨odinger operator on R2 with a radially symmetric electric potential, V , and magnetic potential, B, both V and B are spectrally determined.) We also show that in one dimension there is a very simple explicit identity relating the spectral measure of the Schr¨odinger operator with its Birkhoff canonical form.

Statistical procedures designed for analysing multivariate data sets often emphasize different sample statistics. While some procedures emphasize the estimates of both the mean vector and the covariance matrix , others may emphasize only one of these two sample quantities. In effect, while an unusual observation in a data set has a deleterious impact on the results from an analysis that depends heavily on the covariance matrix, its effect when dependence is on the mean vector may be minimal. The aim of this paper is to develop diagnostic measures for identifying influential observations of different kinds. Three diagnostic measures, based on the local influence approach, are constructed to identify observations that exercise undue influence on the estimate of , of , and of both together. Real data sets are analysed and results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed measures.

We prove that the GromovHausdorff compactification of the moduli space of KhlerEinstein Del Pezzo surfaces in each degree agrees with certain algebro-geometric compactification. In particular, this recovers Tians theorem on the existence of KhlerEinstein metrics on smooth Del Pezzo surfaces and classifies all the degenerations of such metrics. The proof is based on a combination of both algebraic and differential geometric techniques.
