Study of limits of Einstein-Bogomol'nyi metrics on P^1 in two regimes.

In this paper we construct new solutions of the Kahler-Yang-Mills equations, by applying dimensional reduction methods to the product of the complex projective line with a compact Riemann surface. The resulting equations, that we call gravitating vortex equations, describe Abelian vortices on the Riemann surface with b…

The paper finds shape modes for vortices in a specific sigma model.

In this work we consider the gravitating vortex equations. These equations couple a metric over a compact Riemann surface with a hermitian metric over a holomorphic line bundle equipped with a fixed global section --- the Higgs field ---, and have a symplectic interpretation as moment-map equations. As a particular cas…

We obtain all possible solutions of a 1/4 Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield equation exactly, containing configurations made of walls, vortices and monopoles in the Higgs phase. We use supersymmetric U(N_C) gauge theories with eight supercharges with N_F fundamental hypermultiplets in the strong coupling limit. The moduli…

Existence and uniqueness of gravitating vortices on Riemann surfaces with specific properties.

We consider a general 4n-dimensional quaternionic Kahler geometry with a free action of the torus T^(n+1). The toric action lifts onto the Swann bundle of the quaternionic Kahler space to a tri-holomorphic action that commutes with the standard H* action on the bundle. By matching Pedersen and Poon's generalized Gibbon…

We present a systematic method to construct exactly all Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) multi-wall solutions in supersymmetric (SUSY) U(N_C) gauge theories in five dimensions with N_F hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation for infinite gauge coupling. The moduli space of these non-Abelian walls is found…

A gas of $N$ Bogomol'nyi vortices in the Abelian Higgs model is studied on a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$ and area $A$. The volume of the moduli space is computed and found to depend on $N, g$ and $A$, but not on other details of the shape of the surface. The volume is then used to find the thermodynamic partit…

The Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) multi-wall solutions are constructed in supersymmetric U(N_C) gauge theories in five dimensions with N_F(>N_C) hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Exact solutions are obtained with full generic moduli for infinite gauge coupling and with partial moduli for finite …

We give a complete solution to the existence problem for gravitating vortices with non-negative topological constant $c \geqslant 0$. Our first main result builds on previous results by Yang and establishes the existence of solutions to the Einstein-Bogomol'nyi equations, corresponding to $c=0$, in all admissible Kähle…

The most fruitful approach to studying low energy soliton dynamics in field theories of Bogomol'nyi type is the geodesic approximation of Manton. In the case of vortices and monopoles, Stuart has obtained rigorous estimates of the errors in this approximation, and hence proved that it is valid in the low speed regime. …

Gradient descent converges with arbitrary stepsize for separable data under Fenchel-Young losses.

This paper introduces a variational approximation framework using direct optimization of what is known as the {\it scale invariant Alpha-Beta divergence} (sAB divergence). This new objective encompasses most variational objectives that use the Kullback-Leibler, the R{é}nyi or the gamma divergences. It also gives access…

Given a Delaunay decomposition of a compact hyperbolic surface, one may record the topological data of the decomposition, together with the intersection angles between the `empty disks' circumscribing the regions of the decomposition. The main result of this paper is a characterization of when a given topological decom…

A double pants decomposition of a 2-dimensional surface is a collection of two pants decomposition of this surface introduced in arXiv:1005.0073v2. There are two natural operations acting on double pants decompositions: flips and handle twists. It is shown in arXiv:1005.0073v2 that the groupoid generated by flips and h…

Smooth 4-manifolds have simple horizontal decompositions.

Let $\mathcal{J}^1$ be the real form of a complex simple Jordan algebra such that the automorphism group is $\mathrm{F}_{4(-20)}$. By using some orbit types of $\mathrm{F}_{4(-20)}$ on $\mathcal{J}^1$, for $\mathrm{F}_{4(-20)}$, explicitly, we give the Iwasawa decomposition, the Oshima--Sekiguchi's $K_ε-$Iwasawa decomp…

We study the topological types of pants decompositions of a surface by associating to any pants decomposition $P,$ in a natural way its pants decomposition graph, $Γ(P).$ This perspective provides a convenient way to analyze the maximum distance in the pants complex of any pants decomposition to a pants decomposition c…

Derive new Euler-Ramanujan-type identities and infinite decompositions for zero mean curvature graphs in various spaces.

Decompositions on manifolds appear in various geometric structures. Necessary and sufficient conditions for quotient spaces of decompositions to be manifolds are widely characterized. We characterize necessary and sufficient conditions to be $k$-manifolds $(k = 1, 2)$, which generalize characterizations in the codimens…

We give an example of two JSJ decompositions of a group that are not related by conjugation, conjugation of edge-inclusions, and slide moves. This answers the question of Rips and Sela stated in "Cyclic splittings of finitely presented groups and the canonical JSJ decomposition," Ann. of Math. 146 (1997), 53-109. On th…

We consider a union of two pants decompositions of the same orientable 2-dimensional surface of any genus g. Each pants decomposition corresponds to some handlebody bounded by this surface, so two pants decompositions correspond to a Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold. We introduce a groupoid FT acting on double pants …

We present a novel nonnegative tensor decomposition method, called Legendre decomposition, which factorizes an input tensor into a multiplicative combination of parameters. Thanks to the well-developed theory of information geometry, the reconstructed tensor is unique and always minimizes the KL divergence from an inpu…

The aim of this paper is to provide some new tools to aid the study of decomposition complexity, a notion introduced by Guentner, Tessera and Yu. In this paper, three equivalent definitions for decomposition complexity are established. We prove that metric spaces with finite hyperbolic dimension have finite (weak) deco…

To ensure interpretability of extracted sources in tensor decomposition, we introduce in this paper a dictionary-based tensor canonical polyadic decomposition which enforces one factor to belong exactly to a known dictionary. A new formulation of sparse coding is proposed which enables high dimensional tensors dictiona…
