48 results for Minding's theorem

We give an alternative proof of Madsen-Weiss' generalized Mumford conjecture. Our proof is based on ideas similar to Madsen-Weiss' original proof, but it is more geometrical and less homotopy theoretical in nature. At the heart of the argument is a geometric version of Harer stability, which we formulate as a theorem a…

For a surface immersed in a three-dimensional space endowed with a norm instead of an inner product, one can define analogous concepts of curvature and metric. With these concepts in mind, various questions immediately appear. The aim of this paper is to propose and answer some of those questions. In this framework we …

In this paper we explain how Morse theory for the Yang-Mills functional can be used to prove an analogue, for surface groups, of the Atiyah-Segal theorem. Classically, the Atiyah-Segal theorem relates the representation ring R(Γ) of a compact Lie group ΓΓ to the complex K-theory of the classifying space BΓ. For infi…

Most of the prior work on multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) achieves optimal collaboration by directly controlling the agents to maximize a common reward. In this paper, we aim to address this from a different angle. In particular, we consider scenarios where there are self-interested agents (i.e., worker agent…

AVEC 2019 challenges AI in detecting depression and cross-cultural emotions.

problem Detecting depression and cross-cultural emotions from audiovisual data.
method Comparison of machine learning methods under standardized conditions.
result Baseline system performance on state-of-mind, depression, and cross-cultural tasks.

This paper deals with optimally-robust parameter estimation in generalized Pareto distributions (GPDs). These arise naturally in many situations where one is interested in the behavior of extreme events as motivated by the Pickands-Balkema-de Haan extreme value theorem (PBHT). The application we have in mind is calcula…

In 1870, R. Clausius found the virial theorem which amounts to introduce the trace of the stress tensor when studying the foundations of thermodynamics, as a way to relate the absolute temperature of an ideal gas to the mean kinetic energy of its molecules. In 1901, H. Poincar{é} introduced a duality principle in analy…

The Hamilton-Jacobi problem is revisited bearing in mind the consequences arising from a possible bi-Hamiltonian structure. The problem is formulated on the tangent bundle for Lagrangian systems in order to avoid the bias of the existence of a natural symplectic structure on the cotangent bundle. First it is developed …

The wavelet transform has seen success when incorporated into neural network architectures, such as in wavelet scattering networks. More recently, it has been shown that the dual-tree complex wavelet transform can provide better representations than the standard transform. With this in mind, we extend our previous meth…
