The high cost of communicating gradients is a major bottleneck for federated learning, as the bandwidth of the participating user devices is limited. Existing gradient compression algorithms are mainly designed for data centers with high-speed network and achieve O(dlogd) per-iteration communication cost at…
We show that if the entropy of any closed hypersurface is close to that of a round hyper-sphere, then it is close to a round sphere in Hausdorff distance. Generalizing the result of \cite{BW1} to higher dimensions.
The expression for the variation of the area functional of the second fundamental form of a hypersurface in a Euclidean space involves the so-called "mean curvature of the second fundamental form". Several new characteristic properties of (hyper)spheres, in which the mean curvature of the second fundamental form occurs…
The gradient-based optimization method for deep machine learning models suffers from gradient vanishing and exploding problems, particularly when the computational graph becomes deep. In this work, we propose the tangent-space gradient optimization (TSGO) for the probabilistic models to keep the gradients from vanishin…
Discretizing multi-dimensional data distributions is a fundamental step of modern indexing methods. State-of-the-art techniques learn parameters of quantizers on training data for optimal performance, thus adapting quantizers to the data. In this work, we propose to reverse this paradigm and adapt the data to the quant…
We present a novel algorithm for overcomplete independent components analysis (ICA), where the number of latent sources k exceeds the dimension p of observed variables. Previous algorithms either suffer from high computational complexity or make strong assumptions about the form of the mixing matrix. Our algorithm does…
A half-geodesic is a closed geodesic realizing the distance between any pair of its points. All geodesics in a round sphere are half-geodesics. Conversely, this note establishes that Riemannian spheres with all geodesics closed and sufficiently many half-geodesics are round.

We study the geometry of the Thurston metric on Teichmuller space by examining its geodesics and comparing them to Teichmuller geodesics. We show that, similar to a Teichmuller geodesic, the shadow of a Thurston geodesic to the curve graph is a reparametrized quasi-geodesic. However, we show that the set of short curve…
We describe the geometry of geodesics on a Lorentz ellipsoid: give explicit formulas for the first integrals (pseudo-confocal coordinates), curvature, geodesically equivalent Riemannian metric, the invariant area-forms on the time- and space-like geodesics and invariant 1-form on the space of null geodesics. We prove a…
Tight geodesics were introduced by Masur-Minsky in [17]. They and their hierarchies have been a powerful tool in the study of the curve complex, mapping class groups, Teichmüller spaces, and hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In the same paper, they showed that there are at least one and at most finitely many tight geodesics betw…
Let M be a Margulis spacetime whose associated complete hyperbolic surface S has compact convex core. Generalizing the correspondence between closed geodesics on M and closed geodesics on S, we establish an orbit equivalence between recurrent spacelike geodesics on M and recurrent geodesics on S. In contrast, no timeli…
The authors define a class of functions on Riemannian manifolds, which is called geodesic semilocal E-preinvex functions, as a generalization of geodesic semilocal E-convex and geodesic semi E-preinvex functions and some of its properties are established. Furthermore, a nonlinear fractional multiobjective programming i…
New results on the convexity of geodesic-length functions on Teichmüller space are presented. A formula for the Hessian of geodesic-length is presented. New bounds for the gradient and Hessian of geodesic-length are described. A relationship of geodesic-length functions to Weil-Petersson distance is described. Applicat…
There are many equivalent definitions of Riemannian geodesics. They are naturally generalised to sub-Riemannian manifold, but become non-equivalent. We give a review of different definitions of geodesics of a sub-Riemannian manifold and interrelation between them. We recall three variational definitions of geodesics as…
We consider the existence of simple closed geodesics or "geodesic knots" in finite volume orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Previous results show that at least one geodesic knot always exists [Bull. London Math. Soc. 31(1) (1999) 81-86], and that certain arithmetic manifolds contain infinitely many geodesic knots [J. …
In this paper, we study homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Finsler spaces. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. We show that the geodesics on a Lie group, relative to a bi-invariant Finsler metric, are the cosets of the one-parameter subgroups. The existence of infinitely many homogen…
