L’homme et la mer aux Yasawa (îles Fidji) by Émilie Nolet

“…This paper examines how two related sets of phenomena — tourism, and a growing concern over environmental issues due to economic development and climate change — contribute to re-shape relationships to the marine environment, relying on field research conducted in Yalobi and Vuake villages. It shows that tourism accelerates a loss of traditional marine knowledge, while leading to new approaches and uses of marine space and resources. …”

Dimension reduction for maximum matchings and the Fastest Mixing Markov Chain by Jain, Vishesh, Pham, Huy, Vuong, Thuy-Duong

“…Let $G = (V,E)$ be an undirected graph with maximum degree $\Delta $ and vertex conductance $\Psi ^*(G)$. We show that there exists a symmetric, stochastic matrix $P$, with off-diagonal entries supported on $E$, whose spectral gap $\gamma ^*(P)$ satisfies \[ \Psi ^*(G)^{2}/\log \Delta \lesssim \gamma ^*(P) \lesssim \Psi ^*(G). \] Our bound is optimal under the Small Set Expansion Hypothesis, and answers a question of Olesker-Taylor and Zanetti, who obtained such a result with $\log \Delta $ replaced by $\log |V|$.In order to obtain our result, we show how to embed a negative-type semi-metric $d$ defined on $V$ into a negative-type semi-metric $d^{\prime }$ supported in $\mathbb{R}^{O(\log \Delta )}$, such that the (fractional) matching number of the weighted graph $(V,E,d)$ is approximately equal to that of $(V,E,d^{\prime })$.…”
