An older paper by Edwards introduced the Gromov-Hausdorff distance.

In the paper titled "Bockstein basis and resolution theorems in extension theory" (arXiv:0907.0491v2), we stated a theorem that we claimed to be a generalization of the Edwards-Walsh resolution theorem. The goal of this note is to show that the main theorem from (arXiv:0907.0491v2) is in fact equivalent to the Edwards-…

Edward is a flexible probabilistic programming language that integrates with TensorFlow.

Edward simplifies probabilistic modeling and inference.

An important "stability" theorem in shape theory, due to D.A. Edwards and R. Geoghegan, characterizes those compacta having the same shape as a finite CW complex. In this note we present straightforward and self-contained proof of that theorem.

Paper characterizes solutions to Kapustin Witten equations on specific domain.

The paper introduces sections in metric spaces with properties related to Ahlfors-David regularity and convexity.

We prove the following theorem for Holomorphic Foliations in compact complex kaehler manifolds: if there is a compact leaf with finite holonomy, then every leaf is compact with finite holonomy. As corollary we reobtain stability theorems for compact foliations in Kaehler manifolds of Edwards-Millett-Sullivan and Hollma…

In this article we extend a euclidean result of David and Semmes to the Heisenberg group by giving a sufficient condition for a $k$-Ahlfors-regular subset to have big pieces of bilipschitz images of subsets of $\R^k$. This Carleson type condition measures how well the set can be approximated by the Heisenberg $k$-plane…

Discussing hybrid models in Bayesian networks.

Critical surfaces can be regarded as topological index 2 minimal surfaces which was introduced by David Bachman. In this paper we give a sufficient condition and a necessary condition for self-amalgamated Heegaard surfaces to be critical.

We review a construction of hyperkahler metrics proposed in joint work of Davide Gaiotto, Greg Moore and the author. A key ingredient in this construction is a collection of integer "DT invariants" obeying the wall-crossing formula of Kontsevich-Soibelman.

Given a knot K we may construct a group G_n(K) from the fundamental group of K by adjoining an nth root of the meridian that commutes with the corresponding longitude. These "generalised knot groups" were introduced independently by Wada and Kelly, and contain the fundamental group as a subgroup. The square knot SK and…

Survey explores interactions between four conformal dynamics branches.

These are problems on Heegaard splittings, that were raised at the Workshop, listed according to their contributors: David Bachman, Mario Eudave-Munoz, John Hempel, Tao Li, Yair Minsky, Yoav Moriah and Richard Weidmann. On pages 285-298 of this monograph (arxiv:0904.0017) Hyam Rubinstein gives a personal collection of …

This article is one of three highly influential articles on the topology of manifolds written by Robert D. Edwards in the 1970's but never published. It presents the initial solutions of the fabled Double Suspension Conjecture. (The other two articles are: 'Approximating certain cell-like maps by homeomorphisms' and 'T…

ICML workshop on making machine learning models more understandable.

One of the more memorable moments of last summer's credit crunch came when the CFO of Goldman Sachs, David Viniar, announced in August that Goldman's flagship GEO hedge fund had lost 27% of its value since the start of the year. As Mr. Viniar explained, "We were seeing things that were 25-standard deviation moves, seve…

New algorithm learns multiclass concepts with finite Littlestone dimension.

Study active nematic forces on curved surfaces, revealing new coupling mechanisms.

Any two compact, complete, one-dimensional geodesic spaces with identical marked length spectrum have isometric $π_1$-hull. The present version contains errors, notably in Lemmas 2.2 and 2.3 (path cancellations can be more complicated), which then propagate through the paper. The main result is correct as stated, and a…

It has been pointed out to the author by David Glickenstein that the proof of the (closely related) Lemmas 1.2 and 3.2 in the title paper is incorrect. The statements of both Lemmas are correct, and the purpose of this note is to give a correct argument. The argument is of some interest in its own right.

We prove a generalization of the Edwards-Walsh Resolution Theorem: Theorem: Let G be an abelian group for which $P_G$ equals the set of all primes $\mathbb{P}$, where $P_G=\{p \in \mathbb{P}: \Z_{(p)}\in$ Bockstein Basis $σ(G)\}$. Let n in N and let K be a connected CW-complex with $π_n(K)\cong G$, $π_k(K)\cong 0$ for…

Improved mistake bounds for transductive online learning.

Blackwell's theorems influence modern AI through information compression and decision making.

Our purpose is to pursue the rigorous construction of Liouville Quantum Field Theory on Riemann surfaces initiated by F. David, A. Kupiainen and the last two authors in the context of the Riemann sphere and inspired by the 1981 seminal work by Polyakov. In this paper, we investigate the case of simply connected domains…

We reprove and extend a result of David Krebes (J. Knot Theory Ramif. 8 (1999), 321-352) giving an obstruction to embedding a tangle T into a link L. Closing the tangle up in the two obvious ways gives rise to two links, the numerator and denominator links n(T) and d(T). Applying a homological argument to the 2-fold br…

We extend a result regarding the Random Backward Iteration algorithm for drawing Julia sets (known to work for certain rational semigroups containing a non-Möbius element) to a class of Möbius semigroups which includes certain settings not yet been dealt with in the literature, namely, when the Julia set is not a thick…

Connected sums defined for codimension two locally flat submanifolds in higher dimensions.

This paper discusses the construction of a generalized Alexander polynomial for virtual knots and links, and the reformulation of this invariant as a quantum link invariant. The algebraic background for the generalized Alexander module is formulated in terms of the biquandle, a generalization of the quandle of David Jo…

TensorFlow Distributions simplifies deep learning with flexible probability tools.

In 1976, Thurston proved that taut foliations on closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds have Euler class of norm at most one, and conjectured that conversely, any integral second cohomology class with norm equal to one is the Euler class of a taut foliation. This is the first from a series of two papers that together give a neg…

We study global Mumford-Shah minimizers in $\R^N$, introduced by Bonnet as blow-up limits of Mumford-Shah minimizers. We prove a new monotonicity formula for the energy of $u$ when the singular set $K$ is contained in a smooth enough cone. We then use this monotonicity to prove that for any reduced global minimizer $(u…

Oleg Viro studied in arXiv:math/0204290 two interpretations of the (multivariable) Alexander polynomial as a quantum link invariant: either by considering the quasi triangular Hopf algebra associated to $U_q sl(2)$ at fourth roots of unity, or by considering the super Hopf algebra $U_q gl(1|1)$. In this paper, we show …

We describe the range of a restricted spherical mean transform, which sends a function supported inside a closed ball in a hyperbolic space to its mean values on the geodesics spheres centered at the boundary of the ball. The description resembles that of the same transform on the Euclidean spaces obtained by Mark Agra…
