Study weightings from singular Lie filtrations.

We extend Agrachev-Brockett-Jurjdevic's solution to normal sub-Riemannian geodesics.

We study the conditions for a nilpotent Lie group to be foliated into subgroups that have square integrable (relative discrete series) unitary representations, that fit together to form a filtration by normal subgroups. Then we use that filtration to construct a class of "stepwise square integrable" representations on …

Lagrangian traces help understand Johnson filtration in handlebody groups.

Let S be a compact connected oriented surface, whose boundary is connected or empty. A homology cylinder over the surface S is a cobordism between S and itself, homologically equivalent to the cylinder over S. The Y-filtration on the monoid of homology cylinders over S is defined by clasper surgery. Using a functorial …

The paper proves a conjecture linking Higgs bundles and Lie algebra actions.

A knot in the 3-sphere is called doubly slice if it is a slice of an unknotted 2-sphere in the 4-sphere. We give a bi-sequence of new obstructions for a knot being doubly slice. We construct it following the idea of Cochran-Orr-Teichner's filtration of the classical knot concordance group. This yields a bi-filtration o…

This paper gives an exposition of relative weight filtrations on completions of mapping class groups associated to a stable degeneration of marked genus g curves. These relative weight filtrations have been constructed using Galois theory (with Matsumoto) and Hodge theory (with Pearlstein and Terasoma). It is shown tha…

New methods find Ricci-flat metrics on specific Lie groups.

We provide a framework for extensions of Lie algebroids, including non-abelian extensions and Lie algebroids over different bases. Our approach involves Ehresmann connections, which allows straight generalizations of classical constructions. We exhibit a filtration in cohomology and explain the associated spectral sequ…

Study automorphism group actions on Jacobi diagrams spaces.

We use filtrations of the Grassmannian model to produce explicit algebraic formulae for all harmonic maps of finite uniton number from a Riemann surface, and so all harmonic maps from the 2-sphere, to the unitary group for a general class of factorizations by unitons. We show how these specialize to give explicit formu…

New presentation of Goussarov-Habiro Lie algebra using primitive Feynman diagrams.

We investigate the infinitesimal invariants of an immersed submanifold $Σ$ of a Klein geometry $M\cong G/H$, and in particular an invariant filtration of Lie algebroids over $Σ$. The invariants are derived from the logarithmic derivative of the immersion of $Σ$ into $M$, a complete invariant introduced in the companion…

The study examines invariants of homology cylinders and their relations to free nilpotent groups.

We present an alternative definition for the Goussarov--Habiro filtration of the Z-module freely generated by oriented integral homology 3-spheres, by means of Lagrangian-preserving homology handlebody replacements (LP-surgeries). Garoufalidis, Goussarov and Polyak proved that the graded space (G_n)_n associated to thi…

The paper studies how geometric transformations affect semi-classical operators on specific Lie groups.

Continuous metrics on ample bundles lie in infinite-dimensional cones.

Study on complex curves in hypercomplex nilmanifolds with quaternionic-solvable Lie algebras.

We construct a privileged system of coordinates with respect to the controlling distribution of a trident snake robot and, furthermore, we construct a nilpotent approximation with respect to the given filtration. Note that all constructions are local in the neighbourhood of a particular point. We compare the motions co…

The paper validates Stokes' theorem for differential subcomplexes in positively graded Lie groups.

Defines and classifies toric co-Higgs bundles on projective toric varieties.

A new method for optimal filtration learning in time-series data analysis.

Develops a new filtration for asset pricing models.

The universal Vassiliev-Kontsevich invariant is a functor from the category of tangles to a certain graded category of chord diagrams, compatible with the Vassiliev filtration and whose associated graded is an isomorphism. The Vassiliev filtration has a natural extension to tangles in any thickened surface $M\times I$ …

In sequential anytime-valid inference, any admissible procedure must be based on e-processes: generalizations of test martingales that quantify the accumulated evidence against a composite null hypothesis at any stopping time. This paper proposes a method for combining e-processes constructed in different filtrations b…

We give a generalisation of the theory of optimal destabilizing 1-parameter subgroups to non-algebraic complex geometry. Consider a holomorphic action $G\times F\to F$ of a complex reductive Lie group $G$ on a finite dimensional (possibly non-compact) Kähler manifold $F$. Using a Hilbert type criterion for the (semi)st…

The paper characterizes vector bundles and differential operators using Lie algebras and their symbols.

We introduce several families of filtrations on the space of vector bundles over a smooth projective variety. These filtrations are defined using the large k asymptotics of the kernel of the Dolbeault Dirac operator on a bundle twisted by the kth power of an ample line bundle. The filtrations measure the failure of the…

In a recent paper we defined a new filtration of the mapping class group--the "Lagrangian" filtration. We here determine the successive quotients of this filtration, up to finite index. As an application we show that, for any additive invariant of finite-type (e.g. the Casson invariant), and any level of the Lagrangian…

Toeplitz operators linked to submultiplicative filtrations and weighted Bergman kernels.

Given a compact Kaehler manifold, we consider the complement U of a divisor with normal crossings and a unitary local system V on it. We consider a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) of forms with holomorphic logarithmic singularities and vanishing residues. We construct a spectral sequence corresponding to the ant…

Develops theory of weightings for Lie groupoids and algebroids.

It is known that the automorphism group of a K-polystable Fano manifold is reductive. Codogni and Dervan construct a canonical filtration of the section ring, called Loewy filtration, and conjecture that the Loewy filtration destabilizes any Fano variety with non-reductive automorphism group. In this note, we give a co…

Let $Σ$ be a compact connected oriented surface with one boundary component and let $\mathcal{M}$ denote the mapping class group of $Σ$. By considering the action of $\mathcal{M}$ on the fundamental group of $Σ$ it is possible to define different filtrations of $\mathcal{M}$ together with some homomorphisms on each ter…

For a given configuration space $M$ and Lie algebra $g$ whose action is defined on $M$, the space $V_{0.0}$ of weakly $g$-invariant Lagrangians (i.e. Lagrangians whose motion equations left hand sides are $g$-invariant) is studied. The problem is reformulated in the terms of the double complex of Lie algebra cochains w…

We consider the Grope filtration of the classical knot concordance group that was introduced in a paper of Cochran, Orr and Teichner. Our main result is that successive quotients at each stage in this filtration have infinite rank. We also establish the analogous result for the Grope filtration of the concordance group…

We show that the Artin representation on concordance classes of string links induces a well-defined epimorphism modulo order n twisted Whitney tower concordance, and that the kernel of this map is generated by band sums of iterated Bing-doubles of any string knot with nonzero Arf invariant. We also continue J. Levine's…

We study knots of order 2 in the grope filtration $\{\G_h\}$ and the solvable filtration $\{\F_h\}$ of the knot concordance group. We show that, for any integer $n\ge4$, there are knots generating a $\Z_2^\infty$ subgroup of $\G_n/\G_{n.5}$. Considering the solvable filtration, our knots generate a $\Z_2^\infty$ subgro…

For an oriented 2-dimensional manifold $Σ$ of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components the space $\mathbb{C}π_1(Σ)/[\mathbb{C}π_1(Σ), \mathbb{C}π_1(Σ)]$ carries the Goldman-Turaev Lie bialgebra structure defined in terms of intersections and self-intersections of curves. Its associated graded (under the natural filtratio…

The knot Floer complex and the concordance invariant $\varepsilon$ can be used to define a filtration on the smooth concordance group. We exhibit an ordered subset of this filtration that is isomorphic to $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$ and consists of topologically slice knots.

The knot Floer complex together with the associated concordance invariant epsilon can be used to define a filtration on the smooth concordance group. We show that the indexing set of this filtration contains the natural numbers cross the integers as an ordered subset.

The paper confirms a conjecture about optimal expected utility in markets with insider information.

The paper develops a new theory of double Johnson filtrations for mapping class groups.

Let M denote the mapping class group of S, a compact connected oriented surface with one boundary component. The action of M on the nilpotent quotients of the fundamental group of S allows to define the so-called Johnson filtration and the Johnson homomorphisms. J. Levine introduced a new filtration of M, called the La…

We define a filtration on the vector space spanned by Seifert matrices of knots related to Vassiliev's filtration on the space of knots. Further we show that the invariants of knots derived from the filtration can be expressed by coefficients of the Alexander polynomial.

Symmetry algebras of Killing vector fields and conformal Killing vectors fields can be extended to Killing-Yano and conformal Killing-Yano superalgebras in constant curvature manifolds. By defining $\mathbb{Z}$-gradations and filtrations of these superalgebras, we show that the second cohomology groups of them are triv…

We define a filtration of the smooth concordance group based on the genus of representative knots. We use the Heegaard Floer epsilon and Upsilon invariants to prove the quotient groups with respect to this filtration are infinitely generated. Results are applied to three infinite families of topologically slice knots.
