The paper studies HKKN stratifications for non-compact spaces and proves convexity properties.

Within its traditional range of perversity parameters, intersection cohomology is a topological invariant of pseudomanifolds. This is no longer true once one allows superperversities, in which case intersection cohomology may depend on the choice of the stratification by which it is defined. Topological invariance also…

The paper defines a stratification for Lie groupoids in a tame topology context.

By considering homotopies that preserve the stratification, one obtains a natural notion of homotopy for stratified spaces. In this short note, we introduce invariants of stratified homotopy, the stratified homotopy groups. We show that they satisify a stratified version of Whitehead's theorem. As an example, we introd…

A homology stratification is a filtered space with local homology groups constant on strata. Despite being used by Goresky and MacPherson [Intersection homology theory: II, Inventiones Mathematicae, 71 (1983) 77-129] in their proof of topological invariance of intersection homology, homology stratifications do not appe…

The analysis of the USA 2001 income distribution shows that it can be described by at least two main components, which obey the generalized Tsallis statistics with different values of the q parameter. Theoretical calculations using the gas kinetics model with a distributed saving propensity factor and two ensembles rep…

We construct the moduli space of r-jets at a point of Riemannian metrics on a smooth manifold. The construction is closely related to the problem of classification of jet metrics via differential invariants. The moduli space is proved to be a differentiable space which admits a finite canonical stratification into smoo…

Study geodesic complexity in homogeneous Riemannian manifolds.

In this paper we describe the notion of a weak lipschitzianity of a mapping on a $C^{q}$ stratification. We also distinguish a class of regularity conditions that are in some sense invariant under definable, locally Lipschitz and weakly bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms. This class includes the Whitney (B) condition and the …

We prove the existence of Verdier stratifications for sets definable in any o-minimal structure on (R, +, .). It is also shown that the Verdier condition (w) implies the Whitney condition (b) in o-minimal structures on (R, +, .). As a consequence the Whitney Stratification Theorem holds. The existence of (wf)-stratific…

Stratifies representation varieties of twisted Hopf links.

For linear actions of real reductive Lie groups we prove the Kempf-Ness Theorem about closed orbits and the Kirwan-Ness Stratification Theorem of the null cone. Since our completely self-contained proof focuses strongly on geometric and analytic methods, essentially avoiding any deep algebraic result, it applies also t…

Alexandrov spaces have a special stratification that maps to spheres.

Investigates properties of moment maps and stratifications on Lie groups.

By proving precisely which singularity index lists arise from the pair of invariant foliations for a pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphism, Masur and Smillie determined a Teichmueller flow invariant stratification of the space of quadratic differentials. In this paper we determine an analog to the theorem for $Out(F_3)$.…

This survey intends to present the basic notions of Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) through its paradigmatic application in the construction of the moduli space of holomorphic vector bundles. Special attention is paid to the notion of stability from different points of view and to the concept of maximal unstability, r…

New stratification reveals intrinsic singularity types of orbit spaces.

The aim of this paper is to compare stratifications of moduli spaces given by group actions in the case of similarity of matrices introduced by Arnold and the author's stratification by projective orbifolds, and its relation to deformations o elements in the moduli space.

This paper provides a stratification of semi-algebraic sets in the plane with finitely many geodesic segments.

The Bialynicki-Birula decomposition of the space of lambda-connections restricts to the Morse stratification on the moduli space of Higgs bundles and to the partial oper stratification on the de Rham moduli space of holomorphic connections. For both the Morse and partial oper stratifications, every stratum is a holomor…

Study shows convex contact spheres resemble contact ellipsoids.

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…

Machine learning models for medical image analysis often suffer from poor performance on important subsets of a population that are not identified during training or testing. For example, overall performance of a cancer detection model may be high, but the model still consistently misses a rare but aggressive cancer su…

The paper studies harmonic map flows and proves rectifiability of singular sets.

The paper describes a stratification of a compactified Hurwitz space using combinatorial trees.

We present some features of the smooth structure, and of the canonical stratification on the orbit space of a proper Lie groupoid. One of the main features is that of Morita invariance of these structures - it allows us to talk about the canonical structure of differentiable stratified space on the orbispace (an object…

New measure defined on surface strata, invariant under scaling.

The paper extends a theorem about momentum maps to singular symplectic spaces.

The complement of a complex hyperplane arrangement is known to be homotopic to a minimal CW complex. There are several approaches to the minimality. In this paper, we restrict our attention to real two dimensional cases, and introduce the "dual" objects so called minimal stratifications. The strata are explicitly descr…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, and let $(M,ω)$ be a symplectic manifold. If $G$ admits a Hamiltonian action on $(M,ω)$ with momentum map $μ$, then $M$, the zero-level set of $μ$, the orbit space, and the corresponding symplectic quotient all have induced stratifications. We push this setting into the language of differential …

By proving precisely which singularity index lists arise from the pair of invariant foliations for a pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphism, Masur and Smillie determined a Teichmüller flow invariant stratification of the space of quadratic differentials. In this final paper of a three-paper series, we give a first step to…

The paper offers simple, near-optimal algorithms for multi-group learning.

Torsion sensitive intersection homology was introduced to unify several versions of Poincare duality for stratified spaces into a single theorem. This unified duality theorem holds with ground coefficients in an arbitrary PID and with no local cohomology conditions on the underlying space. In this paper we consider for…

The monster tower is a tower of spaces over a specified base; each space in the tower is a parameter space for curvilinear data up to a specified order. We describe and analyze a natural stratification of these spaces.

Decomposes smooth manifolds into algebraic submanifolds.

We introduce a natural stratification of the space of projective classes of measured laminations on a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area. We prove a rigidity result, namely, the group of self-homeomorphisms of the space of projective measured laminations that preserve such a stratification is in general identif…

The purpose of this paper is to study finite dimensional equivariant moduli problems from the viewpoint of stratification theory. We show that there exists a stratified obstruction system for a finite dimensional equivariant moduli problem. In addition, we define a coindex for a G-vector bundle which is determined by t…

Study identifies and estimates treatment effect heterogeneity within principal stratification subpopulations.

We consider a Morse function $f$ and a Morse-Smale gradient-like vector field $X$ on a compact connected oriented 3-manifold $M$ such that $f$ has only one critical point of index 3. Based on Laudenbach's ideas, we will show that the flow of $X$ can be isotoped into one so that the trajectory spaces of the new flow pro…
