In number theory and diophantine geometry, the theory of "heights" is essential in studying finiteness questions. Roughly, they capture the "arithmetic complexity" of the object of study. We give a formula relating various notions of heights of...

In several imaging modalities the measured data can be interpreted as the modulus of the Fourier transform of a function describing the unknown object. To reconstruct this object one needs to “recover” the un-measured phase of the Fourier transform...
