48 results for Kontsevich-Zagier strange series

Using a result of Takata, we prove a formula for the colored Jones polynomial of the double twist knots K(m,p)K_{(-m,-p)} and K(m,p)K_{(-m,p)} where mm and pp are positive integers. In the (m,p)(-m,-p) case, this leads to new families of qq-hypergeometric series generalizing the Kontsevich-Zagier series. Comparing with the cyc…

Let K(m,p)K_{(m,p)} denote the family of double twist knots where 2m12m-1 and 2p2p are non-zero integers denoting the number of half-twists in each region. Using a result of Takata, we prove a formula for the colored Jones polynomial of K(m,p)K_{(-m,-p)} and K(m,p)K_{(-m,p)}. The latter case leads to new families of qq-hypergeomet…

The paper is concerned with the Kontsevich-Zagier formal power series f(q)=n=0(1q)...(1qn) f(q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (1-q)... (1-q^n) and its analytic properties. To begin with, we give an explicit formula for the Borel transform of the associated formal power series F(x)=e1/(24x)f(e1/x)F(x)=e^{-1/(24x)}f(e^{-1/x}) from which its analytic continuation, i…

In this paper we study the Lorenz equations using the perspective of the Conley index theory. More specifically, we examine the evolution of the strange set that these equations posses throughout the different values of the parameter. We also analyze some natural Morse decompositions of the global attractor of the syst…

Neural networks can model chaos efficiently by becoming geometrically chaotic.

problem Lack of theoretical understanding of how neural networks learn chaos.
method Employed a geometric perspective to show neural networks can model chaotic dynamics.
result Neural networks can reconstruct strange attractors and accurately predict local divergence rates.

The literature postulates that the dynamic time warping (dtw) distance can cope with temporal variations but stores and processes time series in a form as if the dtw-distance cannot cope with such variations. To address this inconsistency, we first show that the dtw-distance is not warping-invariant. The lack of warpin…

Recently V. Arnold introduced Strangeness and J±J^{\pm} invariants of generic immersions of an oriented circle to R2\R^2. Here these invariants are generalized to the case of generic immersions of an oriented circle to an arbitrary surface FF. We explicitly describe all the invariants satisfying axioms, which naturall…

Constructing transitive nilpotent Lie algebras from dilations and analyzing their prolongations.

problem Understanding the derivations of Tanaka prolongations of transitive nilpotent Lie algebras.
method Constructing transitive nilpotent Lie algebras from dilations and analyzing their prolongations.
result Derivations of degree 0 are given by vector fields of degree 0, and the Tanaka prolongation recovers the whole algebra of polynomial vectors defined by the dilation.

We investigate the issue of model selection and the use of the nonconformity (strangeness) measure in batch learning. Using the nonconformity measure we propose a new training algorithm that helps avoid the need for Cross-Validation or Leave-One-Out model selection strategies. We provide a new generalisation error boun…

It is shown that a lagrangian system whose Legendre transformation degenerates along a hypersurface behaves in a strange manner by jumping from time to time without any ''visible cause''. In such a jump the system changes instantaneously its coordinates as well as its momenta. The mathematical dscription of the phenome…

Following \cite{citeSavelyevVirtualMorsetheoryonOmegaOmegaHam(Momega)(Momega).}, we develop here a connection between Morse theory for the (positive) Hofer length functional L:ΩHam(M,ω)RL: Ω\text {Ham}(M, ω) \to \mathbb{R}, with Gromov-Witten/Floer theory, for monotone symplectic manifolds (M,ω) (M, ω) .

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a compact manifold and let Δφk=λkφk-Δφ_k = λ_k φ_k be the sequence of Laplacian eigenfunctions. We present a curious new phenomenon which, so far, we only managed to understand in a few highly specialized cases: the family of functions fN:MR0f_N:M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0} $$ f_N(x) = \sum_{k \leq N}{ \frac{…

100 years ago exactly, in 1906, Hartogs published a celebrated extension phenomenon (birth of Several Complex Variables), whose global counterpart was stated in full generality later by Osgood (1929): holomorphic functions in a connected neighborhood V(bD) of a connected boundary bD contained in C^n (n >= 2) do extend …

The concept of causality has a controversial history. The question of whether it is possible to represent and address causal problems with probability theory, or if fundamentally new mathematics such as the do calculus is required has been hotly debated, e.g. Pearl (2001) states "the building blocks of our scientific a…

Motivated by analogies with basic density theorems in analytic number theory, we introduce a notion (and variations) of the homological density of one space in another. We use Weil's number field/ function field analogy to predict coincidences for limiting homological densities of various sequences $\mathcal{Z}^{(d_1,\…

Previous studies indicate that nonlinear properties of Gaussian time series with long-range correlations, uiu_i, can be detected and quantified by studying the correlations in the magnitude series ui|u_i|, i.e., the ``volatility''. However, the origin for this empirical observation still remains unclear, and the exact …
