For a two-dimensional surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space we introduce an invariant linear map of Weingarten type in the tangent space of the surface, which generates two invariants k and kappa. The condition k = kappa = 0 characterizes the surfaces consisting of flat points. The minimal surfaces are charac…

In this survey we review Hamilton's entropy and Perelman's entropy, and provide motivations for these concepts. Then we review recent results on the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, the Sobolev inequalities and kappa-noncollapsing estimates along the Ricci flow, including the Ricci flow with surgeries.

The conservative wealth-exchange process derived from trade interactions is modeled as a multiplicative stochastic transference of value, where each interaction multiplies the wealth of the poorest of the two intervening agents by a random gain eta=(1+kappa), with kappa a random return. Analyzing the kinetic equation f…

Let pi be a free group of rank 2. Its outer automorphism group Out(pi) acts on the space of equivalence classes of representations in Hom(pi, SL(2,C)). Let SLm(2,R) denote ths subset of GL(2,R) consisting of matrices of determinant -1 and let ISL(2,R) denote the subgroup (SL(2,R) union i SLm(2,R)) of SL(2,C). The repre…

In this paper we discuss the asymptotic entropy for ancient solutions to the Ricci flow. We prove a gap theorem for ancient solutions, which could be regarded as an entropy counterpart of Yokota's work. In addition, we prove that under some assumptions on one time slice of a complete ancient solution with nonnegative c…

The complete part of the earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD), above completeness magnitude mc, is well described by the Gutenberg-Richter law. The parameter mc however varies in space due to the seismic network configuration, yielding a convoluted FMD shape below max(mc). This paper investigates the shape…

We discuss some geometric conditions under which a complete noncompact shrinking gradient Ricci soliton will split at infinity.

Given a suitable link map f into a manifold M, we constructed, in [10], link homotopy invariants kappa(f) and mu(f). In the present paper we study the case M=S^n x R^{m - n} in detail. Here mu(f) turns out to be the starting term of a whole sequence mu^(s)(f), s = 0, 1, ..., of higher mu-invariants which together captu…

In this paper we present a major application of the l-function and the reduced volume of Perelman, namely their application to the analysis of the asymptotical limits of kappa solutions of the Ricci flow.

In this purely expository note, we recall a few known properties of 3-dimensional singularity models. These properties are direct consequences of Perelman's canonical neighborhood theorem for 3-dimensional Ricci flow and compactness theorem for 3-dimensional kappa-solutions.

We introduce a new method of calculating intersections on \bar{M}_{g,n}, using localization of equivariant cohomology. As an application, we give a proof of Mirzakhani's recursion relation for calculating intersections of mixed psi and kappa_1 classes.

With inspiration from Random Forests (RF) in the context of classification, a new clustering ensemble method---Cluster Forests (CF) is proposed. Geometrically, CF randomly probes a high-dimensional data cloud to obtain "good local clusterings" and then aggregates via spectral clustering to obtain cluster assignments fo…

Carter, Jelsovsky, Kamada, Langford and Saito have defined an invariant of classical links associated to each element of the second cohomology of a finite quandle. We study these invariants for Alexander quandles of the form Z[t,t^{-1}]/(p, t^2 + kappa t + 1), where p is a prime number and t^2 + kappa t + 1 is irreduci…

We introduce a new model for pricing corporate bonds, which is a modification of the classical model of Merton. In this new model, we drop the liquidity assumption of the firm's asset value process, and assume that there is a liquidly traded asset in the market whose value is correlated with the firm's asset value, and…

A translation structure equips a Riemann surface with a singular flat metric. Not much is known about the shape of a random translation surface. We compute an upper bound on the expected value of the covering radius of a translation surface in any stratum H_1(kappa). The covering radius of a translation surface is the …

Mannheim curves are defined for immersed curves in 3-dimensional sphere S^3 . The definition is given by considering the geodesics of S^3. First, two special geodesics, called principal normal geodesic and binormal geodesic, of S^3 are defined by using Frenet vectors of a curve immersed in S^3. Later, the curve alpha i…

The group Gamma of automorphisms of the polynomial kappa(x,y,z) = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - xyz -2 is isomorphic to PGL(2,Z) semi-direct product with (Z/2+Z/2). For t in R, Gamma-action on ktR = kappa^{-1}(t) intersect R displays rich and varied dynamics. The action of Gamma preserves a Poisson structure defining a Gamma-invar…

We derive a logarithmic Sobolev inequality along the Ricci flow without any restriction on time, which depends only on the initial metric via rudimentary geometric data, assuming only that a certain first eigenvalue is positive. As a consequence we obtain a uniform Sobolev inequality along the Ricci flow without any re…

The thickness, NIR(K) of a knot or link K is defined to be the radius of the largest solid tube one can put around the curve without any self intersections, which is also known as the normal injectivity radius of K. For C^{1,1} curves K, NIR(K)=min{(1/2)DCSC(K),(1/(supkappa(K))))}, where kappa(K) is the generalized cur…

A method uses ITD and XGBoost for precise power transformer fault diagnosis.

Sleep staging is a crucial task for diagnosing sleep disorders. It is tedious and complex as it can take a trained expert several hours to annotate just one patient's polysomnogram (PSG) from a single night. Although deep learning models have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in automating sleep staging, interp…

Without knowledge of the Bias and Prevalence of the contingency being tested, or equivalently the expecta…

Supervised machine learning applications in the health domain often face the problem of insufficient training datasets. The quantity of labelled data is small due to privacy concerns and the cost of data acquisition and labelling by a medical expert. Furthermore, it is quite common that collected data are unbalanced an…

Feature extraction is a very crucial task in image and pixel (voxel) classification and regression in biomedical image modeling. In this work we present a machine learning based feature extraction scheme based on inception models for pixel classification tasks. We extract features under multi-scale and multi-layer sche…

In many situations, classes of data points of primary interest also happen to be those that are least numerous. A well-known example is detection of fraudulent transactions among the collection of all financial transactions, the vast majority of which are legitimate. These types of problems fall under the label of `rar…

Quantifying the degree of atrophy is done clinically by neuroradiologists following established visual rating scales. For these assessments to be reliable the rater requires substantial training and experience, and even then the rating agreement between two radiologists is not perfect. We have developed a model we call…

Given a semisimple, compact, connected Lie group G with complexification G^c, we show there is a stable range in the homotopy type of the universal moduli space of flat connections on a principal G-bundle on a closed Riemann surface, and equivalently, the universal moduli space of semistable holomorphic G^c-bundles. Th…

In safety-critical applications of machine learning, it is often important to abstain from making predictions on low confidence examples. Standard abstention methods tend to be focused on optimizing top-k accuracy, but in many applications, accuracy is not the metric of interest. Further, label shift (a shift in class …
