A treatment of the spin-statistics relation in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics due to Berry and Robbins [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A (1997) 453, 1771-1790] is generalised within a group-theoretical framework. The construction of Berry and Robbins is re-formulated in terms of certain locally flat vector bundles over n-parti…
We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a Dirac structure on the total space of a Poisson fiber bundle endowed with a compatible connection. We also show that Cartan and Cartan-Hannay-Berry connections give rise to coupling Dirac structures.

problem Understanding local topological obstructions to flattening Berry curvature in spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates.
method Adapting Pigazzini-Toda lower bound to Kaluza-Klein setting, analyzing harmonic part of torsion 3-form, and using exact pointwise curvature analysis.
result Obstruction kernel vanishes, preventing complete gauging-away of Berry phases even at zero net topological charge.
In the space U4 of cubic forms of surfaces, regarded as a G-space and endowed with a natural invariant metric, the ratio of the volumes of those representing umbilic points with negative to those with positive indexes is evaluated in terms of the asymmetry of the metric, defined here. A connection of this …

result The prior of a Deep Gaussian Process collapses rapidly towards zero or places negligible mass on low norm functions without proper hyperparameter tuning.
We explain how the kind of ``parallel transport'' of a wavefunction used in discussing the Berry or Geometrical phase induces the conventional parallel transport of certain real vectors. These real vectors are associated with operators whose commutators yield diagonal operators; or in Lie algebras those operators whose…
We give a comprehensive theoretical characterization of a nonparametric estimator for the L22 divergence between two continuous distributions. We first bound the rate of convergence of our estimator, showing that it is n-consistent provided the densities are sufficiently smooth. In this smooth regime, we t…
We give a positive answer to the Berry-Robbins problem for any compact Lie group G, i.e. we show the existence of a smooth W-equivariant map from the space of regular triples in a Cartan subalgebra to the flag manifold G/T. This map is constructed via solutions to Nahm's equations and it is compatible with the SO(3) ac…
Tying knots and linking microscopic loops of polymers, macromolecules, or defect lines in complex materials is a challenging task for material scientists. We demonstrate the knotting of microscopic topological defect lines in chiral nematic liquid crystal colloids into knots and links of arbitrary complexity by using l…
Motivated by a question of Rubel, we consider the problem of characterizing which noncompact hypersurfaces in $\RR^n$ can be regular level sets of a harmonic function modulo a C∞ diffeomorphism, as well as certain generalizations to other PDEs. We prove a versatile sufficient condition that shows, in particular…
We consider the problem of providing nonparametric confidence guarantees for undirected graphs under weak assumptions. In particular, we do not assume sparsity, incoherence or Normality. We allow the dimension D to increase with the sample size n. First, we prove lower bounds that show that if we want accurate infe…
