problem Connecting polyhedral manifolds to Riemannian manifolds with geometric constraints.
method Using a theorem by C. Lange and B. Bowditch, the study bounds the curvature and injectivity radius of Riemannian manifolds.
result Polyhedral manifolds with bounded geometry are bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic to Riemannian manifolds with controlled curvature and injectivity radius.
We examine the impact of learning Lipschitz continuous models in the context of model-based reinforcement learning. We provide a novel bound on multi-step prediction error of Lipschitz models where we quantify the error using the Wasserstein metric. We go on to prove an error bound for the value-function estimate arisi…
We prove a Lipschitz-Volume rigidity theorem for the non-collapsed Gromov-Hausdorff limits of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below. This is a counterpart of the Lipschitz-Volume rigidity in Alexandrov geometry.

problem Neural networks' susceptibility to adversarial perturbations in safety-critical applications.
method The paper introduces a framework to train multi-layer NNs by minimizing their Lipschitz constant, using an optimization scheme based on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers.
result The proposed training procedure successfully increases the robustness of neural networks.
An eε-Lipschitz and co-Lipschitz map, as a metric analogue of an ε-Riemannian submersion, naturally arises from a sequence of Alexandrov spaces with curvature uniformly bounded below that converges to a space of only weak singularities. In this paper we prove its homotopy lifting property and its homotopy stabilit…

result Proved standard self-attention is not Lipschitz for unbounded input domain and proposed an alternative L2 self-attention that is Lipschitz.
We investigate contextual online learning with nonparametric (Lipschitz) comparison classes under different assumptions on losses and feedback information. For full information feedback and Lipschitz losses, we design the first explicit algorithm achieving the minimax regret rate (up to log factors). In a partial feedb…
In this paper we consider Llarull's theorem in the foliation case and get a lower bound of the Lipschitz constant of the map M→Sn in the foliation case under the spin condition.
Tight estimation of the Lipschitz constant for deep neural networks (DNNs) is useful in many applications ranging from robustness certification of classifiers to stability analysis of closed-loop systems with reinforcement learning controllers. Existing methods in the literature for estimating the Lipschitz constant su…
Considering the Teichmüller space of a surface equipped with Thurston's Lipschitz metric, we study geodesic segments whose endpoints have bounded combinatorics. We show that these geodesics are cobounded, and that the closest-point projection to these geodesics is strongly contracting. Consequently, these geodesics are…
We construct a smooth compact n-dimensional manifold Y with one point singularity such that all its Lipschitz homotopy groups are trivial, but Lipschitz mappings Lip(S^n,Y) are not dense in the Sobolev space W^{1,n}(S^n,Y). On the other hand we show that if a metric space Y is Lipschitz (n-1)-connected, then Lipschitz …
We prove a quantitative bi-Lipschitz nonembedding theorem for the Heisenberg group with its Carnot-Carathéodory metric and apply it to give a lower bound on the integrality gap of the Goemans-Linial semidefinite relaxation of the Sparsest Cut problem.
