In this study, by using the facts that det(α^{(1)}, α^{(2)}, α^{(3)}) = 0 characterizes plane curve, and det(α^{(2)}, α^{(3)}, α^{(4)}) = 0 does a curve of constant slope, we give the special space curves that are characterized by det(α^{(3)}, α^{(4)}, α^{(5)}) = 0, in different approaches. We find that the space curve…

In this paper, we investigate the tangent indicatrix of the curve C with constant curvature. Tangent indicatrix of the curve C is characterized with det(C^(3),C^(4),C^(5))=0 in Minkowski 3-space E13. Moreover, we study null slant helices using the determinant approach and give the following characterization: A curve C …

Derives formulas for determinant of Laplacian on curved surfaces.

Let $(E,\overline{\partial}_E,θ)$ be a stable Higgs bundle of degree $0$ on a compact connected Riemann surface. Once we fix the flat metric $h_{\det(E)}$ on the determinant of $E$, we have the harmonic metrics $h_t$ $(t>0)$ for the stable Higgs bundles $(E,\overline{\partial}_E,tθ)$ such that $\det(h_t)=h_{\det(E)}$. …

Let $\mathcal{M}_1$ denote the space of solutions $z(x,y)$ to an elliptic, real analytic Monge-Ampère equation ${\rm det} (D^2 z)=\varphi(x,y,z,Dz)>0$ whose graphs have a non-removable isolated singularity at the origin. We prove that $\mathcal{M}_1$ is in one-to-one correspondence with $\mathcal{M}_2\times Z_2$, where…

Unified determinants via a single equation.

Let M be a closed compact n-dimensional manifold with n odd. We calculate the first and second variations of the zeta-regularized determinants det^\primeΛand det L as the metric on M varies, where Δdenotes the Laplacian on functions and L denotes the conformal Laplacian. We see that the behavior of these functionals de…

Improved bounds on volume-det inequality for links with many twists.

In this paper, we study the Nakano-positivity and dual-Nakano-positivity of certain adjoint vector bundles associated to ample vector bundles. As applications, we get new vanishing theorems about ample vector bundles. For example, we prove that if $E$ is an ample vector bundle over a compact Kähler manifold $X$, $S^kE\…

For a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function $u$ on a open set $Ω\subset\mathbb{C}^{n}$ and $F$ a $C^{1}$ nondecreasing function on $\mathbf{R}^{*}_{+}$, we investigate the complex partial differential equations $Δ_{g}\log\det(u_{i\bar j})=F(\det(u_{i\bar j}))\Vert\nabla_{g}\log\det(u_{i\bar j})\Vert_{g}^{2},$ whe…

For every n-component ribbon link L we prove that the Jones polynomial V(L) is divisible by the polynomial V(O^n) of the trivial link. This integrality property allows us to define a generalized determinant det V(L) := [V(L)/V(O^n)]_(t=-1), for which we derive congruences reminiscent of the Arf invariant: every ribbon …

The Vol-Det Conjecture relates the volume and the determinant of a hyperbolic alternating link in $S^3$. We use exact computations of Mahler measures of two-variable polynomials to prove the Vol-Det Conjecture for many infinite families of alternating links. We conjecture a new lower bound for the Mahler measure of cer…

We develop a general strategy, based on gauge theoretical methods, to prove existence of curves on class VII surfaces. We prove that, for $b_2=2$, every minimal class VII surface has a cycle of rational curves hence, by a result of Nakamura, is a global deformation of a one parameter family of blown up primary Hopf sur…

This work presents a parametrized family of divergences, namely Alpha-Beta Log- Determinant (Log-Det) divergences, between positive definite unitized trace class operators on a Hilbert space. This is a generalization of the Alpha-Beta Log-Determinant divergences between symmetric, positive definite matrices to the infi…

U-Det improves lung nodule segmentation in CT images.

DET unifies geometric and functional alignment for high-dimensional scientific data.

Let $f$ be a smooth plurisubharmonic function which solves $$ \det(f_{i\bar j})=1\;\;\;\;\;\;\mbox{in }Ω\subset \mathbb C^n.$$ Suppose that the metric $ω_{f}=\sqrt{-1}f_{i\bar j}dz_{i}\wedge d\bar z_{j}$ is complete and $f$ satisfies the growth condition $$ C^{-1}(1+|z|^2)\leq f\leq C(1+ |z|^2),\;\;\;\; as\;\;\; |z|\to…

The study examines averages of Laplacian determinants over large genus moduli spaces.

This paper is essentially a short version of hep-th/9404046. We compute multiplicative anomaly det(AB)/(detA detB) =F(A,B) for elliptic pseudo-differential operators (PDOs) A, B on a closed manifold M in terms of their symbols. We prove that F(A,B)=1 for elliptic differential operators close to positive-definite ones o…

Joyce showed that for a classical knot $K$, the involutory medial quandle $\text{IMQ}(K)$ is isomorphic to the core quandle of the homology group $H_1(X_2)$, where $X_2$ is the cyclic double cover of $\mathbb S ^3$, branched over $K$. It follows that $|\text{IMQ}(K)| = | \det K |$. In the present paper, the extension o…

The paper calculates determinants for Laplacians on spinor bundles over surfaces with flat metrics.

A parametric curve $γ$ of class $C^n$ on the $n$-sphere is said to be nondegenerate (or locally convex) when $\det\left(γ(t),γ'(t),\cdots,γ^{(n)}(t)\right)>0$ for all values of the parameter $t$. We orthogonalize this ordered basis to obtain the Frenet frame $\mathfrak{F}_γ$ of $γ$ assuming values in the orthogonal gro…

Let $X\rightarrow S$ be a smooth projective surjective morphism of relative dimension $n$, where $X$ and $S$ are integral schemes over $\mathbb C$. Let $L\rightarrow X$ be a relatively very ample line bundle. For every sufficiently large positive integer $m$, there is a canonical isomorphism of the Deligne pairing $\la…

We examine the conjecture, due to Champanerkar, Kofman, and Purcell that $\text{vol}(K) < 2 π\log \det (K)$ for alternating hyperbolic links, where $\text{vol}(K) = \text{vol}(S^3\backslash K)$ is the hyperbolic volume and $\det(K)$ is the determinant of $K$. We prove that the conjecture holds for 2-bridge links, alter…

The flat trace of geodesic Koopman operators varies with negatively curved surfaces.

In the paper, we focus on the connectedness of planar self-affine sets $T(A,{\mathcal{D}})$ generated by an integer expanding matrix $A$ with $|\det (A)|=3$ and a collinear digit set ${\mathcal{D}}=\{0,1,b\}v$, where $b>1$ and $v\in {\mathbb{R}}^2$ such that $\{v, Av\}$ is linearly independent. We discuss the domain of…

Estimates complex Hessian integral for complex Monge-Ampère equations.

The Seiberg-Witten family of elliptic curves defines a Jacobian rational elliptic surface $\Z$ over $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^1$. We show that for the $\bar{\partial}$-operator along the fiber the logarithm of the regularized determinant $-1/2 \log \det' (\bar\partial^* \bar\partial)$ satisfies the anomaly equation of the …

We investigate the structure of the characteristic polynomial det(xI-T) of a transition matrix T that is associated to a train track representative of a pseudo-Anosov map [F] acting on a surface. As a result we obtain three new polynomial invariants of [F], one of them being the product of the other two, and all three …

The paper develops divergences for Gaussian processes and RKHS settings.

We study the following question: Let $(X,g)$ be a compact Gauduchon surface, $(E,h)$ be a differentiable rank $r$ vector bundle on $X$, ${\mathcal{D}}$ be a fixed holomorphic structure on $D:=\det(E)$ and $a$ be the Chern connection of the pair $(\mathcal{D},\det(h))$. Does the complex space structure on ${\mathcal{M}}…

The Teichmueller space Teich(S) of a surface S in genus g>1 is a totally real submanifold of the quasifuchsian space QF(S). We show that the determinant of the Laplacian det'(Δ) on Teich(S) has a unique holomorphic extension to QF(S). To realize this holomorphic extension as the determinant of differential operators on…

Two obstructions found to keep a foliation transverse.

For a class of even dimensional conformally compact manifolds (X,g), we define a generalized Krein spectral function by applying a renormalized trace functional to the spectral measure of the Laplacian. We then show that this is the phase of the Kontsevich-Vishik determinant det S(s) of the scattering operator S(s) of …

Let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle on a compact Kähler manifold $X$. If we fix a metric $h$ on $E$, we get a Laplace operator $Δ$ acting upon smooth sections of $E$ over $X$. Using the zeta function of $Δ$, one defines its regularized determinant $det'(Δ)$. We conjectured elsewhere that, when $h$ varies, this deter…

New method estimates log-determinant using trace powers, avoiding classical limitations.

In the generalized Legendre approach, the equation describing an asymptotically locally Euclidean space of type $D_n$ is found to admit an algebraic formulation in terms of the group law on a Weierstrass cubic. This curve has the structure of a Cayley cubic for a pencil generated by two transversal plane conics, that i…

The Teichmuller space Teich(S) of a surface S in genus g>1 is a real submanifold of the quasifuchsian space QF(S). We show that the determinant of the Laplacian det'(Delta) on Teich(S) has a unique holomorphic extension to QF(S).

Let $M$ be either the 2-sphere $\SS^2 \subset\RR^3$ or the hyperbolic plane $\HH^2 \subset \RR^3$. If $Δ(abc)$ is a geodesic triangle on $M$ with corners at $a,b,c\in M$, we denote by $α, β, γ\in M$ the midpoints of their sides. If $Ω$ denotes the oriented area of this triangle on $M$, it satisfies the relations: $$ \s…

We give various results and applications using the connection $(E,\nabla)$ associated with a $d$-web. Precisely, we exhibit fundamental invariants of the web related to the differential equation of first order which presents the web. They cast some new lights on the connection and its construction, both conceptually an…

Let $\mathsf m$ be any conical (or smooth) metric of finite volume on the Riemann sphere $\Bbb CP^1$. On a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$ consider a meromorphic funciton $f: X\to {\Bbb C}P^1$ such that all poles and critical points of $f$ are simple and no critical value of $f$ coincides with a conical singul…

Local index theorem for cofinite hyperbolic Riemann surfaces derived from computational perspective.

We derive a new model for pre-strained thin films, which consists of minimizing a biharmonic energy of deformations $v\in W^{2,2}$ satisfying the Monge-Ampère constraint $\det\nabla^2v = f$. We further discuss multiplicity properties of the minimizers of this model, in some special cases.
