AB-testing is a very popular technique in web companies since it makes it possible to accurately predict the impact of a modification with the simplicity of a random split across users. One of the critical aspects of an AB-test is its duration and it is important to reliably compute confidence intervals associated with…

AB dynamically scales gradients to mitigate asynchronous training delays.

Fragmentation methods such as the many-body expansion (MBE) are a common strategy to model large systems by partitioning energies into a hierarchy of decreasingly significant contributions. The number of fragments required for chemical accuracy is still prohibitively expensive for ab-initio MBE to compete with force fi…

AB-SAGA optimizes distributed optimization over directed graphs using variance reduction and stochastic weights.

In this paper we continue the study of bi-conformal vector fields started in {\em Class. Quantum Grav.} {\bf 21} 2153-2177. These are vector fields defined on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold by the differential conditions $\lie P_{ab}=φP_{ab}$, $\lieΠ_{ab}=χΠ_{ab}$ where $P_{ab}$, $Π_{ab}$ are orthogonal and complementary…

In this paper a thorough study of the normal form and the first integrability conditions arising from {\em bi-conformal vector fields} is presented. These new symmetry transformations were introduced in {\em Class. Quantum Grav.}\textbf{21}, 2153-2177 and some of their basic properties were addressed there. Bi-conforma…

In the present paper a global conformal invariant $Y$ of a closed initial data set is constructed. A spacelike hypersurface $Σ$ in a Lorentzian spacetime naturally inherits from the spacetime metric a differentiation ${\cal D}_e$, the so-called real Sen connection, which turns out to be determined completely by the ini…

The aim here is to continue the investigation in \cite{AB} of Jacobians of a Klein surface and also to correct an error in \cite{AB}.

We consider in this work representations of the of the fundamental group of the 3-punctured sphere in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$ such that the boundary loops are mapped to ${\rm PU}(2,1)$. We provide a system of coordinates on the corresponding representation variety, and analyse more specifically those representations correspond…

The paper explores methods to construct knots with diffeomorphic $0$-traces.

A novel distributed method tracks gradients for convex optimization over networks.

Archimedes determined the center of gravity of a parabolic section as follows. For a parabolic section between a parabola and any chord $AB$ on the parabola, let us denote by $P$ the point on the parabola where the tangent is parallel to $AB$ and by $V$ the point where the line through $P$ parallel to the axis of the p…

Solutions to a specific problem are shown to be locally Lipschitz but not differentiable.

Cencelj and Dranishnikov showed that for certain nilpotent groups $G$, $K(G_{ab},1) \in \text{AE}(X)$ is equivalent to $K(G,1) \in \text{AE}(X)$ for any compacta $X$ (here $G_{ab}$ is the abelianization of $G$). We examine the same problem for solvable groups. We also give an elementary proof of this fact for any nilpo…

Archimedes knew that the area between a parabola and any chord $AB$ on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle $ΔABP$ where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to $AB$. We consider whether this property (and similar ones) characterizes parabolas. We present five conditions which …

The paper proposes a machine learning technique to optimize prices in fashion e-commerce.

Quantization of universal Teichmüller space provides projective representations of the Ptolemy-Thompson group, which is isomorphic to the Thompson group $T$. This yields certain central extensions of $T$ by $\mathbb{Z}$, called dilogarithmic central extensions. We compute a presentation of the dilogarithmic central ext…

Non-normal subgroups of certain groups grow homologically exponentially.

INTAGS uses interactive simulation to improve realism in multi-agent systems.

Recently exciting progress has been made on protein contact prediction, but the predicted contacts for proteins without many sequence homologs is still of low quality and not very useful for de novo structure prediction. This paper presents a new deep learning method that predicts contacts by integrating both evolution…

ABS dynamically adjusts batch size based on policy stability, improving RL performance.

Curvature tensors can always be matched to a metric tensor under certain conditions.

In this paper we derive a differential identity for linearized gravity on the Kerr spacetime and more generally on vacuum spacetimes of Petrov type D. We show that a linear combination of second derivatives of the linearized Weyl tensor can be formed into a complex symmetric 2-tensor $\mathcal{M}_{ab}$ which solves the…

Archimedes showed that the area between a parabola and any chord $AB$ on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle $ΔABP$, where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to the chord $AB$. Recently, this property of parabolas was proved to be a characteristic property of parabolas. With…

The paper classifies solutions to a specific equation and finds counterexamples to boundary estimates.

We sketch a geometric proof of the classical theorem of Atiyah, Bott, and Shapiro \cite{ABS} which relates Clifford modules to vector bundles over spheres. Every module of the Clifford algebra $Cl_k$ defines a particular vector bundle over $§^{k+1}$, a generalized Hopf bundle, and the theorem asserts that this correspo…

Let $X$ be a normal, separated and integral scheme of finite type over $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ a set of closed points of $X$. To a Galois cover $\tilde{X}$ of $X$ unramified over $\mathcal{M}$, we associate a quandle whose underlying set consists of points of $\tilde{X}$ lying over $\mathcal{M}$. As the limit of…

Consider a family of smooth immersions $F(\cdot,t): M^n\to \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ of closed hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ moving by the mean curvature flow $\frac{\partial F(p,t)}{\partial t} = -H(p,t)\cdot ν(p,t)$, for $t\in [0,T)$. We show that at the first singular time of the mean curvature flow, certain subcritic…

In this paper we push forward results on the invariant ${\cal F}$-module of a virtual knot investigated by the first named author where ${\cal F}$ is the algebra with two invertible generators $A,B$ and one relation $A^{-1}B^{-1}AB-B^{-1}AB= BA^{-1}B^{-1}A-A$. For flat knots and links the two sides of the relation equa…

Guarantees robustness of Gaussian process classifiers against adversarial attacks.

Let be given a {\em colored 3-pseudo-triangulation} $\mathcal{H}^\star$ with $n$ tetrahedra. Colored means that each tetrahedron have vertices distinctively colored 0,1,2,3. In a {\em pseudo} 3-triangulation the intersection of simplices might be subsets of simplices of smaller dimensions (faces), instead of a single m…

In this paper, we present a simple stock market model (the market game) which incorporates, as ab initio dynamics delayed majority dynamics, according to which agents (with heterogeneous strategies and price expectations) are rewarded if their actions at time t are the actions of the majority of agents at time t+1. We …

In this paper we study the properties of quasi-harmonic spheres from $\R^m, m>2$. We show that if the universal covering $\tilde N$ of $N$ admits a nonnegative strictly convex function $ρ$ with the exponential growth condition $ρ(y)\leq C\exp\left(\frac14\tilde d(y)^{2/m}\right)$ where $\tilde d(y)$ is the distance fun…

Paper withdrawn because of a gap in the proof of Proposition 3 of Thomas Schick: "Integrality of L2-Betti numbers", Math. Ann. 317, 727-750 (arXiv.org/abs/math.gt/0001101). Most results of the withdrawn paper were based on this proposition.

The geometry of cosets in the subgroups H of the two-generator free group G =\textless{} a, b \textgreater{} nicely fits, via Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants, the geometry of commutation for quantum observables. Dessins stabilize point-line incidence geometries that reflect the commutation of (generalized) Pauli opera…

Given a 3-holed sphere decomposition of an orientable closed surface, it is shown that each orientation preserving homeomorphism of the surface is isotopic to a composition AB where A is a product of positive Dehn twists and B is a product of negative Dehn twists on the decomposition curves.

The excited states of polyatomic systems are rather complex, and often exhibit meta-stable dynamical behaviors. Static analysis of reaction pathway often fails to sufficiently characterize excited state motions due to their highly non-equilibrium nature. Here, we proposed a time series guided clustering algorithm to ge…
