The paper introduces triple grid diagrams to construct Lagrangian surfaces in complex projective space.

We establish an $h$-principle for exact Lagrangian embeddings with concave Legendrian boundary. We prove, in particular, that in the complement of the unit ball $B$ in the standard symplectic $\R^{2n}, 2n\geq 6$, there exists an embedded Lagrangian $n$-disc transversely attached to $B$ along its Legendrian boundary.

We prove that any Legendrian knot in $(S^3,ξ_{std})$ bounds an exact Lagrangian surface in $\mathbb{R}^4\setminus B^4$ after a sufficient number of stabilizations. In order to show this, we construct a family combinatorial moves on knot projections with some additional data that correspond to Lagrangian cobordisms betw…

Suppose $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are two special Lagrangian submanifolds of $\Rtn$ with boundary that intersect transversally at one point $p$. The set $M_{1} \cup M_{2}$ is a singular special Lagrangian variety with an isolated singularity at the point of intersection. Suppose further that the tangent planes at the interse…

A well known result of Drinfeld classifies Poisson Lie groups $(H,Π)$ in terms of Lie algebraic data in the form of Manin triples $(\mathfrak{d},\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{h})$; he also classified compatible Poisson structures on $H$-homogeneous spaces $H/K$ in terms of Lagrangian subalgebras $\mathfrak{l}\subset\mathfrak{…

The paper uses LSMC to price capped American options with time-dependent caps.

In this paper, we examine mapping class group relations of some symplectic manifolds. For each $n\geq 1$ and $k \geq 1$, we show that the $2n$-dimensional Weinstein domain $W = \{f=δ\} \cap B^{2n+2}$, determined by the degree $k$ homogeneous polynomial $f\in \mathbb{C}[z_0,\dots,z_n]$, has a Boothby-Wang type boundary …

This paper realises the Khovanov homology of a link in the 3-sphere as a Lagrangian Floer cohomology group, establishing a conjecture of Seidel and the second author. The starting point is the previously established formality theorem for the symplectic arc algebra over a field k of characteristic zero. Here we prove th…

It is classically known that generic smooth maps of R^2 into R^3 admit only cross cap singularities. This suggests that the class of cross caps might be an important object in differential geometry. We show that the standard cross cap (u,uv,v^2) has non-trivial isometric deformations with infinite dimensional freedom. …

This paper proves geodesic curvature measures are bounded for curves near cross cap singularities.

Two cross caps in Euclidean $3$-space are said to be formally isometric if their Taylor expansions of the first fundamental forms coincide by taking a suitable local coordinate system. For a given $C^\infty$ cross cap $f$, we give a method to find all cross caps which are formally isometric to $f$. As an application, w…

We give a variational proof of the existence and uniqueness of a convex cap with the given upper boundary. The proof uses the concavity of the total scalar curvature functional on the space of generalized convex caps. As a byproduct, we prove that generalized convex caps with the fixed boundary are globally rigid, that…

Improved LDA with capped l_{2,1}-norm reduces outlier sensitivity.

In the paper we consider the following conjecture: if a finite group $G$ possesses a solvable $π$-Hall subgroup $H$, then there exist elements $x,y,z,t\in G$ such that the identity $H\cap H^x\cap H^y\cap H^z\cap H^t=O_π(G)$ holds. The minimal counter example is shown to be an almost simple group of Lie type.

Proposes a diagnostic method to evaluate factor models using cap-axis integrals.

We show that there is a well-defined cap-product structure on the Fintushel-Stern spectral sequence. Hence we obtain the induced cap-product structure on the ${\BZ}_8$-graded instanton Floer homology. The cap-product structure provides an essentially new property of the instanton Floer homology, from a topological poin…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed $4k$-manifold whose Yamabe invariant $Y(M)$ is nonpositive. We show that $Y(M\sharp l \Bbb HP^k\sharp m \bar{\Bbb HP^k})=Y(M),$ where $l,m$ are nonnegative integers, and $\Bbb HP^k$ is the quaternionic projective space. When $k=4$, we also have $$Y(M\sharp l CaP^2\sharp m \bar{CaP^2})=Y(M),…

This paper examines the valuation of American capped call options with two-level caps. The structure of the immediate exercise region is significantly more complex than in the classical case with constant cap. When the cap grows over time, making extensive use of probabilistic arguments and local time, we show that the…

The paper uses Floer homology to study twist coefficients and their behavior after capping off.

We construct cup and cap products in intersection (co)homology with field coefficients. The existence of the cap product allows us to give a new proof of Poincare duality in intersection (co)homology which is similar in spirit to the usual proof for ordinary (co)homology of manifolds.

The study finds the optimal metrics for free boundary minimal surfaces in spherical caps.

We show that the pre-order defined on the category of contact manifolds by arbitrary symplectic cobordisms is considerably less rigid than its counterparts for exact or Stein cobordisms: in particular, we exhibit large new classes of contact 3-manifolds which are symplectically cobordant to something overtwisted, or to…

Let $(G,h)$ be a nilpotent Lie group endowed with a left invariant Riemannian metric, $\mathfrak{g}$ its Euclidean Lie algebra and $Z(\mathfrak{g})$ the center of $\mathfrak{g}$. By using an orthonormal basis adapted to the splitting $\mathfrak{g}=(Z(\mathfrak{g})\cap[\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{g}])\oplus O^+\oplus (Z(\mat…

CAP algorithm controls FCR in online selective prediction.

We study PCA as a stochastic optimization problem and propose a novel stochastic approximation algorithm which we refer to as "Matrix Stochastic Gradient" (MSG), as well as a practical variant, Capped MSG. We study the method both theoretically and empirically.

Let $H, K$ be two finitely generated subgroups of a free group, let $\langle H, K \rangle$ denote the subgroup generated by $H, K$, called the join of $H, K$, and let neither of $H$, $K$ have finite index in $\langle H, K \rangle$. We prove the existence of an epimorphism $ζ: \langle H, K \rangle \to F_2$, where $F_2$ …

In this note we show that a closed oriented contact manifold is obtained from the standard contact sphere of the same dimension by contact surgeries on isotropic and coisotropic spheres. In addition, we observe that all closed oriented contact manifolds admit symplectic caps.

It is well-known:Suppose there are three 1-dimensional links $K_+$, $K_-$, $K_0$ such that $K_+$, $K_-$, and $K_0$ coincide out of a 3-ball $B$ trivially embedded in $S^3$ and that $K_+\cap B$, $K_-\cap B$, and $K_0\cap B$ are drawn as follows. Then $Δ_{K_+}-Δ_{K_+}=(t-1)\cdotΔ_{K_0}$, where $Δ_{K}$ is the Alexander po…

An important class of contact 3--manifolds are those that arise as links of rational surface singularities with reduced fundamental cycle. We explicitly describe symplectic caps (concave fillings) of such contact 3--manifolds. As an application, we present a new obstruction for such singularities to admit rational homo…

New flow for capillary surfaces converges to spherical caps.

A subset of the sphere is said short if it is contained in an open hemisphere. A short closed set which is geodesically convex is called a cap. The following theorem holds: 1. The minimal number of short closed sets covering the $n$-sphere is $n+2$. 2. If $n+2$ short closed sets cover the $n$-sphere then (i) their inte…
