We study the topology of the inertia space of a smooth $G$-manifold $M$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group. We construct an explicit Whitney stratification of the inertia space, demonstrating that the inertia space is a triangulable differentiable stratified space. In addition, we demonstrate a de Rham theorem for differ…

Model predicts time evolution of supply chain networks under varying costs.

For a complex projective space the inertia group, the homotopy inertia group and the concordance inertia group are isomorphic. In complex dimension 4n+1, these groups are related to computations in stable cohomotopy. Using stable homotopy theory, we make explicit computations to show that the inertia group is non-trivi…

In this paper, we investigate the attractive properties of the proximal gradient algorithm with inertia. Notably, we show that using alternated inertia yields monotonically decreasing functional values, which contrasts with usual accelerated proximal gradient methods. We also provide convergence rates for the algorithm…

One approach to the analysis of stochastic fluctuations in market prices is to model characteristics of investor behaviour and the complex interactions between market participants, with the aim of extracting consequences in the aggregate. This agent-based viewpoint in finance goes back at least to the work of Garman (1…

The paper computes inertia groups of certain high-dimensional manifolds.

This paper deals with certain results on the number of smooth structures on quaternionic projective spaces, obtained through the computation of inertia group and its analogues, which in turn are computed using techniques from stable homotopy theory. We show that the concordance inertia group is trivial in dimension 20,…

Study ramification in knot groups through finite covers and their quotients.

We use the Grauert--Grothendieck complex on differentiable spaces to study basic relative forms on the inertia space of a compact Lie group action on a manifold. We prove that the sheaf complex of basic relative forms on the inertia space is a fine resolution of Bryliski's sheaf of functions on the inertia space.

Proves triviality of inertia groups in high-dimensional manifolds.

For those concerned with the long-term value of their accounts, it can be a challenge to plan in the present for inflation-adjusted economic growth over coming decades. Here, I argue that there exists an economic constant that carries through time, and that this can help us to anticipate the more distant future: global…

The paper classifies ruled surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space that are stationary for the moment of inertia.

We introduce the notions of a differentiable groupoid and a differentiable stratified groupoid, generalizations of Lie groupoids in which the spaces of objects and arrows have the structures of differentiable spaces, respectively differentiable stratified spaces, compatible with the groupoid structure. After studying b…

We show that if $M$ and $N$ have the same homotopy type of simply connected closed smooth $m$-manifolds such that the integral and mod-$2$ cohomologies of $M$ vanish in odd degrees, then their homotopy inertia groups are equal. Let $M^{2n}$ be a closed $(n-1)$-connected $2n$-dimensional smooth manifold. We show that, f…

New approach limits regret in non-stationary bandits.

Let $M^{2n}$ denote a closed $(n-1)$-connected smoothable topological $2n$-manifold. We show that the group $\mathcal{C}(M^{2n})$ of concordance classes of smoothings of $M^{2n}$ is isomorphic to the group of smooth homotopy spheres $\overlineΘ_{2n}$ for $n=4$ or $5$, the concordance inertia group $I_c(M^{2n})=0$ for $…

The sectoral synchronization observed for the Japanese business cycle in the Indices of Industrial Production data is an example of synchronization. The stability of this synchronization under a shock, e.g., fluctuation of supply or demand, is a matter of interest in physics and economics. We consider an economic syste…

The paper computes smooth structures on a specific product manifold.

In this paper a neural network heuristic dynamic programing (HDP) is used for optimal control of the virtual inertia based control of grid connected three phase inverters. It is shown that the conventional virtual inertia controllers are not suited for non inductive grids. A neural network based controller is proposed …

Optimization of Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) currently relies on real-valued latent weights to accumulate small update steps. In this paper, we argue that these latent weights cannot be treated analogously to weights in real-valued networks. Instead their main role is to provide inertia during training. We interpre…

The Wall surgery obstruction groups have two interesting geometrically defined subgroups, consisting of the surgery obstructions between closed manifolds, and the inertial elements. We show that the inertia group $I_{n+1}(π,w)$ and the closed manifold subgroup $C_{n+1}(π,w)$ are equal in dimensions $n+1\geq 6$, for any…

Two classification results for stationary surfaces of least moment of inertia.

This paper explains why Adam generalizes worse than SGD by analyzing its components.

Planes and spheres are the only stationary surfaces with constant Gauss curvature.

We introduce and study a new class of homotopy spheres called Farrell-Jones spheres. Using Farrell-Jones sphere we construct examples of closed negatively curved manifolds $M^{2n}$, where $n=7$ or $8$, which are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to complex hyperbolic manifolds, thereby giving a partial answer to a que…

Correspondence analysis (CA) is a multivariate statistical tool used to visualize and interpret data dependencies by finding maximally correlated embeddings of pairs of random variables. CA has found applications in fields ranging from epidemiology to social sciences; however, current methods do not scale to large, hig…

In this paper we define and study the "ghost loop orbifold" of an orbifold $X$ consisting of those loops that remain constant in the coarse moduli space of $X$. We construct a configuration space model for the ghost loop orbifold using an idea of G. Segal. From this we exhibit the relation between the Hochschild and cy…

GeoHNN models physics laws for stable, accurate predictions.

We study the effect of investor inertia on stock price fluctuations with a market microstructure model comprising many small investors who are inactive most of the time. It turns out that semi-Markov processes are tailor made for modelling inert investors. With a suitable scaling, we show that when the price is driven …

Extends Euler's problem to Lorentz-Minkowski plane.

The simplest non-collision solutions of the N-body problem are the "relative equilibria", in which each body follows a circular orbit around the centre of mass and the shape formed by the N bodies is constant. It is easy to see that the moment of inertia of such a solution is constant. In 1970, D. Saari conjectured tha…

The paper establishes a connection between minimal surfaces and a family of stationary surfaces via inversions.

Extended surgery theory proves diffeomorphism for simply-connected 4k-manifolds.

We consider an SO(4) Euler rigid body with two 'inertia momenta' coinciding. We study it from the point of view of bihamiltonian geometry. We show how to algebraically integrate it by means of the method of separation of variables.

Classical dynamical equations describing a certain version of the nonHamiltonian interaction of two rotators (Euler tops with completely degenerate inertia tensors) are considered. The simplest case is integrated. It is shown that the dynamics is almost periodic with periods depending on the initial data.

New Euler characteristics for groupoids generalize orbifold Euler characteristics.

The paper studies a natural $n$-dimensional generalization of the classical nonholonomic Chaplygin sphere problem. We prove that for a specific choice of the inertia operator, the restriction of the generalized problem onto zero value of the SO(n-1)-momentum mapping becomes an integrable Hamiltonian system after an app…

This paper proposes non-stationary factor models for financial stress in the UK.

The study classifies normal subgroups of mapping class groups of surfaces with Cantor subsets.

The paper extends Euler's problem to hyperbolic and spherical planes.

We construct the hyperbolic plane with its geodesic flow as the scale plus symmetry reduction of a three-body problem in the Euclidean plane. The potential is $-I/Δ^2$ where $I$ is the triangle's moment of inertia and $Δ$ its area. The reduction method uses the Jacobi-Maupertuis metric, following the author's earlier p…

Expectation-Maximization (EM) is a prominent approach for parameter estimation of hidden (aka latent) variable models. Given the full batch of data, EM forms an upper-bound of the negative log-likelihood of the model at each iteration and updates to the minimizer of this upper-bound. We first provide a "model level" in…

Up to symmetries, the orbits of three equal masses under an inverse cube force with zero angular momentum and constant moment of inertia can be reparametrized as the geodesics of a complete, negatively curved metric on a pair of pants. The ends of the pants represent binary collisions. Here we will examine the visibili…

Markov random field (MRF) learning is intractable, and its approximation algorithms are computationally expensive. We target a small subset of MRF that is used frequently in computer vision. We characterize this subset with three concepts: Lattice, Homogeneity, and Inertia; and design a non-markov model as an alternati…

Solves memorization in diffusion models for manifold data.

We consider coupled nonholonomic LR systems on the product of Lie groups. As examples, we study $n$-dimensional variants of the spherical support system and the rubber Chaplygin sphere. For a special choice of the inertia operator, it is proved that the rubber Chaplygin sphere, after reduction and a time reparametrizat…
