Study extreme values of stable random fields on geometric spaces.

The paper defines higher invariants for groups of polynomial growth and proves their convergence.

We study local control of the mechanism with the growth vector (4,7). We study controllability and extremal trajectories on the nilpotent approximation as an example of the control theory on Lie group. We give solutions of the system an show examples of local extremal trajectories.

The paper proves Zimmer's conjecture for non-uniform lattices by controlling mass escape and Lyapunov exponents.

Study approximates top Lyapunov exponents for surface mapping classes.

We prove the Livšic Theorem for arbitrary $GL(m,\mathbb R)$ cocycles. We consider a hyperbolic dynamical system $f : X \to X$ and a Hölder continuous function $A: X \to GL(m,\mathbb R)$. We show that if $A$ has trivial periodic data, i.e. $A(f^{n-1} p) ... A(fp) A(p) = Id$ for each periodic point $p=f^n p$, then there …

We present a novel methodology to determine the fundamental value of firms in the social-networking sector based on two ingredients: (i) revenues and profits are inherently linked to its user basis through a direct channel that has no equivalent in other sectors; (ii) the growth of the number of users can be calibrated…

This paper describes an empirical study of shortfall optimization with Barra Extreme Risk. We compare minimum shortfall to minimum variance portfolios in the US, UK, and Japanese equity markets using Barra Style Factors (Value, Growth, Momentum, etc.). We show that minimizing shortfall generally improves performance ov…

Let $Γ$ be a finitely generated discrete group satisfying the rapid decay condition. We give a new proof of the higher Atiyah-Patodi-Singer theorem on a Galois $Γ$-coverings, thus providing an explicit formula for the higher index associated to a group cocycle $c\in Z^k (Γ;\mathbb{C})$ which is of polynomial growth wit…

Study on braids' invariant growth and counting functions.

Research examines coamenable subgroups in higher rank groups.

In this paper we study perturbations of constant cocycles for actions of higher rank semi-simple algebraic groups and their lattices. Roughly speaking, for ergodic actions, Zimmer's cocycle superrigidity theorems implies that the perturbed cocycle is measurably conjugate to a constant cocycle modulo a compact valued co…

Extends Borel invariant to measurable cocycles of 3-manifold groups.

Study projective derivative cocycles for circle diffeomorphisms.

T. Mochizuki determined all 3-cocycles of the third quandle cohomologies of Alexander quandles on finite fields. We show that all the 3-cocycles, except those of 2-cocycle forms, are derived from group 3-cocycles of a meta-abelian group. Further, the quandle cocycle invariant of a link using Mochizuki's 3-cocycle is eq…

New graph-based invariants from quandle cocycles.

Virtual index cocycles reformulate virtual link invariants.

We give a construction of quandle cocycles from group cocycles, especially, for any integer p \geq 3, quandle cocycles of the dihedral quandle R_p from group cocycles of the cyclic group Z/p. We will show that a group 3-cocycle of Z/p gives rise to a non-trivial quandle 3-cocycle of R_p. When p is an odd prime, since d…

Study on group cocycles for volume-preserving diffeomorphisms.

On December 16, Zynga, the well-known social game developing company went public. This event is following other recent IPOs in the world of social networking companies, such as Groupon, Linkedin or Pandora to cite a few. With a valuation close to 7 billion USD at the time when it went public, Zynga has become the bigge…

The paper extends Euler class theory to measurable cocycles.

We derive general Novikov-Morse type inequalities in a Conley type framework for flows carrying cocycles, therefore generalizing our results in [FJ2] derived for integral cocycle. The condition of carrying a cocycle expresses the nontriviality of integrals of that cocycle on flow lines. Gradient-like flows are distingu…

Researchers compute a residue cocycle for Dirac-type operators using modified Getzler calculus.

New algebraic rules for 5D shapes based on 3D cocycles.

We extend the Yang-Baxter cocycle invariants for virtual knots by augmenting Yang-Baxter 2-cocycles with cocycles from a cohomology theory associated to a virtual biquandle structure. These invariants coincide with the classical Yang-Baxter cocycle invariants for classical knots but provide extra information about virt…

We consider cocycles of isometries on spaces of nonpositive curvature $H$. We show that the supremum of the drift over all invariant ergodic probability measures equals the infimum of the displacements of continuous sections under the cocycle dynamics. In particular, if a cocycle has uniform sublinear drift, then there…

The theory of quandle (co)homology and cocycle knot invariants is rapidly being developed. We begin with a summary of these recent advances. One such advance is the notion of a dynamical cocycle. We show how dynamical cocycles can be used to color knotted surfaces that are obtained from classical knots by twist-spinnin…

Quantum cocycle invariants derived from Yang-Baxter cohomology.

New shifting chain map enhances quandle invariants for links.

Develops Patterson-Sullivan theory for coarse cocycles.

We explore a knot invariant derived from colorings of corresponding $1$-tangles with arbitrary connected quandles. When the quandle is an abelian extension of a certain type the invariant is equivalent to the quandle $2$-cocycle invariant. We construct many such abelian extensions using generalized Alexander quandles w…

Paper studies quandle shadow cocycle invariants and Vassiliev invariants.

We introduce a spectrum of monotone coarse invariants for metric measure spaces called Poincaré profiles. The two extremes of this spectrum determine the growth of the space, and the separation profile as defined by Benjamini--Schramm--Timár. In this paper we focus on properties of the Poincaré profiles of groups with …

Polynomial growth bounds for eigenfunctions on non-compact spaces.

Paper studies knotoid chirality using shadow quandle colorings and invariants.

Quandle 2-cocycles define invariants of classical and virtual knots, and extensions of quandles. We show that the quandle 2-cocycle invariant with respect to a non-trivial $2$-cocycle is constant, or takes some other restricted form, for classical knots when the corresponding extensions satisfy certain algebraic condit…

Study parametrized Kähler class for cocycles on Hermitian symmetric spaces.

We propose a simple method to produce quandle cocycles from group cocycles, as a modification of Inoue-Kabaya chain map. We further show that, in respect to "universal central extended quandles", the chain map induces an isomorphism between their third homologies. For example, all Mochizuki's quandle 3-cocycles are sho…

The state-sum invariants for knots and knotted surfaces defined from quandle cocycles are described using the Kronecker product between cycles represented by colored knot diagrams and a cocycle of a finite quandle used to color the diagram. Such an interpretation is applied to evaluating the invariants. Algebraic inter…

This paper defines maximal measurable cocycles for surface groups into Hermitian Lie groups and studies their algebraic hulls.
