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.
We address reinforcement learning problems with finite state and action spaces where the underlying MDP has some known structure that could be potentially exploited to minimize the exploration rates of suboptimal (state, action) pairs. For any arbitrary structure, we derive problem-specific regret lower bounds satisfie…
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.

We prove that any finite dimensional Alexandrov space with a lower curvature bound is locally Lipschitz contractible. As applications, we obtain a sufficient condition for solving the Plateau problem in an Alexandrov space considered by Mese and Zulkowski.
We show that the log-likelihood of several probabilistic graphical models is Lipschitz continuous with respect to the lp-norm of the parameters. We discuss several implications of Lipschitz parametrization. We present an upper bound of the Kullback-Leibler divergence that allows understanding methods that penalize the …
We study continuous maps between differential manifolds from a microlocal point of view. In particular, we characterize the Lipschitz continuity of these maps in terms of the microsupport of the constant sheaf on their graph. Furthermore, we give lower and upper bounds on the microsupport of the graph of a continuous m…

In this work we compute lower Lipschitz bounds of ℓp pooling operators for p=1,2,∞ as well as ℓp pooling operators preceded by half-rectification layers. These give sufficient conditions for the design of invertible neural network layers. Numerical experiments on MNIST and image patches confirm tha…
Let X and Y be length metric spaces. Let Hn denote the n-dimensional Hausdorff measure. The Lipschitz-Volume Rigidity is a property that if there exists a 1-Lipschitz map f:X→Y and 0<Hn(X)=Hn(f(X))<∞, then f preserves the length of path. This property holds for …

We study the Lipschitz metric on Teichmuller space (defined by Thurston) and compare it with the Teichmuller metric. We show that in the thin part of Teichmuller space the Lipschitz metric is approximated up to bounded additive distortion by the sup metric on a product of lower-dimensional spaces (similar to the Teichm…
In this paper, we consider a concentration of measure problem on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We study concentration phenomena of non-negative 1-Lipschitz functions with Dirichlet boundary condition around zero, which is called boundary concentration phenomena. We first examine relation between boundary concen…
Verifying correctness of deep neural networks (DNNs) is challenging. We study a generic reachability problem for feed-forward DNNs which, for a given set of inputs to the network and a Lipschitz-continuous function over its outputs, computes the lower and upper bound on the function values. Because the network and the …
