We present constructions inspired by the Ma-Schlenker example of~\cite{Ma:2012hl} that show the non-rigidity of spherical inversive distance circle packings. In contrast to the use in~\cite{Ma:2012hl} of an infinitesimally flexible Euclidean polyhedron, embeddings in de Sitter space, and Pogorelov maps, our elementary …

Unified proof of knot unknotting bounds using Ma-Qiu index.

We derive an explicit formula for likelihood function for Gaussian VARMA model conditioned on initial observables where the moving-average (MA) coefficients are scalar. For fixed MA coefficients the likelihood function is optimized in the autoregressive variables $Φ$'s by a closed form formula generalizing regression c…

Proposes a new method for manifold alignment using geometry-regularized twin autoencoders.

The Ma-Trudinger-Wang curvature --- or cross-curvature --- is an object arising in the regularity theory of optimal transportation. If the transportation cost is derived from a Hamiltonian action, we show its cross-curvature can be expressed in terms of the associated Jacobi fields. Using this expression, we show the l…

A new method for name disambiguation in academic networks using multi-view attention and recurrent neural networks.

Study on positivity properties of vector bundle Monge-Ampère equation.

This book, which is in Spanish, provides detailed descriptions, including over 550 mathematical formulas, for over 150 trading strategies across a host of asset classes (and trading styles). This includes stocks, options, fixed income, futures, ETFs, indexes, commodities, foreign exchange, convertibles, structured asse…

As the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) has implemented a new regulation on short-sellings, short-sellers are required to repurchase stocks once the clearing risk rises to a certain level. Avellaneda and Lipkin proposed a fully coupled SDE system to describe the mechanism which is referred as Hard-To-Borrow(HTB)…

We prove that refined analytic torsion on a manifold with boundary is an analytic section of the determinant line bundle over the representation variety. As a fundamental application we establish a gluing formula for refined analytic torsion on connected components of the complex representation space which contain a un…

The Markov assumption (MA) is fundamental to the empirical validity of reinforcement learning. In this paper, we propose a novel Forward-Backward Learning procedure to test MA in sequential decision making. The proposed test does not assume any parametric form on the joint distribution of the observed data and plays an…

Optimal policy for multi-armed multi-action bandits with unknown parameters.

Several rigidity problems in toric topology are addressed in \cite{ma-su08}. In this paper, we survey results on those problems including recent development.

We verify that the formula of X. Ma for the analytic torsion form of an iterated fibration implies that Lott's secondary analytic index is functorial.

Although technical trading rules have been widely used by practitioners in financial markets, their profitability still remains controversial. We here investigate the profitability of moving average (MA) and trading range break (TRB) rules by using the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index (SHCI) from May 21, 1992 th…

New geometric approach gives apriori estimate for optimal transport maps.

Study Bergman kernels on complex hyperbolic cusps, generalizing previous results.

A centered innovation MA is equivalent to a digamma-link DARMA for bank-asset shares.

Given a smooth nonfocal compact Riemannian manifold, we show that the so-called Ma--Trudinger--Wang condition implies the convexity of injectivity domains. This improves a previous result by Loeper and Villani.

We prove a localization formula for a "holomorphic equivariant cohomology" attached to the Atiyah algebroid of an equivariant holomorphic vector bundle. This generalizes Feng-Ma, Carrell-Liebermann, Baum-Bott and K. Liu's localization formulas.

Unified understanding of three continual learning regularisation methods.

We present a direct proof that the Anomaly Boundary term of J. Brünning and X. Ma generalizes to the cases of the cone over a $m$-dimensional sphere.

Counterexamples to continuity of optimal transportation on Riemannian manifolds with everywhere positive sectional curvature are provided. These examples show that the condition A3w of Ma, Trudinger, & Wang is not guaranteed by positivity of sectional curvature.

It is shown that a superconformal surface with arbitrary codimension in flat Euclidean space has a (necessarily unique) dual superconformal surface if and only if the surface is S-Willmore, the latter a well-known necessary condition to allow a dual as shown by Ma \cite{ma}. Duality means that both surfaces envelope th…

In this paper we pursue the study of formal geometric quantization of non-compact Hamiltonian manifolds. Our main result is the proof that two quantization process coincide. This fact was obtained by Ma and Zhang in the preprint arXiv:0812.3989 by completely different means.

Reinforcement learning agents are prone to undesired behaviors due to reward mis-specification. Finding a set of reward functions to properly guide agent behaviors is particularly challenging in multi-agent scenarios. Inverse reinforcement learning provides a framework to automatically acquire suitable reward functions…

Study D3-brane solutions on resolved C^3/Γ singularities, proving metric conjecture.

We define a new type of metric comparison similar to the comparison of Alexandrov. We show that it has strong connections to continuity of optimal transport between regular measures on a Riemannian manifold, in particular to the so called MTW condition introduced by Xi-Nan Ma, Neil Trudinger and Xu-Jia Wang.

The iterative nature of the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm presents a challenge for privacy-preserving estimation, as each iteration increases the amount of noise needed. We propose a practical private EM algorithm that overcomes this challenge using two innovations: (1) a novel moment perturbation formulation…

Misspecification-Aware Simulation-Based Inference via Side-Channel Guidance

MULTIFIT tests independence between two random vectors using multiscale Fisher's test.

We give new methods for computing the coefficients of the asymptotic expansions of the kernel of Berezin-Toeplitz quantization obtained recently by Ma-Marinescu, and of the composition of two Berezin-Toeplitz quantizations. Our main tool is the stationary phase formula of Melin-Sjöstrand.

Quantitative finance has had a long tradition of a bottom-up approach to complex systems inference via multi-agent systems (MAS). These statistical tools are based on modelling agents trading via a centralised order book, in order to emulate complex and diverse market phenomena. These past financial models have all rel…

We calculate the second coefficient of the asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel of the Hodge-Dolbeault operator associated to high powers of a Hermitian line bundle with non-degenerate curvature, using the method of formal power series developed by Ma and Marinescu.

We show that a given $x:M^n\to \bar{M}^{n+1}=I\times_φF^{n}$ closed spacelike hypersurface with constant mean curvature $H$ and warping function $φ$ satisfying φ''\geq \ma\{Hφ'',0\}$is either minimal or a spacelike slice$\{t_{o}\}\times F$for some$t_{o}\in I$.

If f is a smooth function on a Hodge manifold, we construct a canonical sequence of real algebraic functions that converge to f in the smooth topology. The definition of of the approximants is inspired by Berezin-Toeplitz quantization. The proof follows quickly from known results of Fine, Liu and Ma.

Consider a Hamiltonian action by a compact Lie group on a possibly noncompact symplectic manifold. We give a short proof of a geometric formula for decomposition into irreducible representations of the equivariant index of a Spin$^c$-Dirac operator in this context. This formula was conjectured by Michèle Vergne in 2006…

We examine two different techniques for parameter averaging in GAN training. Moving Average (MA) computes the time-average of parameters, whereas Exponential Moving Average (EMA) computes an exponentially discounted sum. Whilst MA is known to lead to convergence in bilinear settings, we provide the -- to our knowledge …

We study codimension one smooth foliations with Morse type singularities on closed ma-nifolds. We obtain a description of the manifold in case the number of centers in greater then the number of saddles. This result relies on and extends previous results of Reeb (for foliations having only centers) and Ells-Kuiper (for…

This is the original paper appeared in the book "Elliptic and Parabolic Methods in Geometry (Minneapolis, MN,1994), A K Peters, Wellesley, MA, (1996)" (p.1-16), except with a few minor modifications as described at the end of the paper (on p.14). Due to frequent requests for the article, we decided to post it on the ar…

For a complex flat vector bundle over a fibered manifold, we consider the 1-parameter family of certain deformed sub-signature operators introduced by Ma-Zhang. We compute the adiabatic limit of the Bismut-Freed connection associated to this family and show that the Bismut-Lott analytic torsion form shows up naturally …
