Study of Yang-Mills fields on 4-manifolds using modified Lévy Laplacians.

The paper sets up eigenvalue comparison theorems for specific Laplacians on manifolds.

We modify the Laplacian coflow of co-closed G2-structures - $\frac{d}{dt}ψ=Δψ$ where $ψ$ is the closed dual 4-form of a $G_{2}$-structure $\varphi$. The modified flow is now parabolic in the direction of closed forms upto diffeomorphisms. We then prove short time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the modified f…

Sharp eigenvalue bounds and splitting for modified Ricci flow.

Real analyticity proved for modified Laplacian coflow solutions.

We study the Laplacian coflow and the modified Laplacian coflow of $G_2$-structures on the $7$-dimensional Heisenberg group. For the Laplacian coflow we show that the solution is always ancient, that is it is defined in some interval $(-\infty,T)$, with $0<T<+\infty$. However, for the modified Laplacian coflow, we prov…

New perspective on G2-structures flow from DeTurck Laplacian.

Study a modified Laplacian equation in spacetime.

We survey recent progress in the study of $G_{2}$-structure Laplacian coflows, that is, heat flows of co-closed $G_{2}$-structures. We introduce the properties of the original Laplacian coflow of $G_{2}$-structures as well as the modified coflow, reviewing short-time existence and uniqueness results for the modified co…

On a Riemannian metric-measure space, we establish an Alexandrov-Bakelman-Pucci type measure estimate connecting Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature lower bound, modified Laplacian and the measure of certain special sets. We apply this estimate to prove Harnack inequalities for the modified Laplacian operator and fully non-lin…

The paper classifies rotational hypersurfaces in n-space using a modified Laplacian operator.

Nearly $G_2$-structures are unstable under a modified $G_2$-Laplacian co-flow.

We consider $G_{2}$-structures on $7$-manifolds that are warped products of an interval and a six-manifold, which is either a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a nearly Kähler manifold. We show that in these cases the $G_{2}$-structures are determined by their torsion components up to a phase factor. We then study the modified L…

Study explores Laplacian coflow versions on Calabi-Yau 7-manifolds.

In this paper, we extend Lotay-Wei's Shi-type estimate from Laplacian flow to more general flows of G$_2$ structures including the modified Laplacian co-flow. Then we prove a version of $κ$-non-collapsing theorem. We will use both of them to study finite time singularities of general flows of G$_2$ structures.

Paper improves volume gap between minimal submanifolds and unit spheres.

Graphs prove curvature condition with modified heat equation.

We propose a definition for analytic torsion of the Rumin complex on contact manifolds. This is given by the derivative at zero of a well-chosen combination of zeta functions of a fourth-order modified Rumin Laplacian. The regular value at zero (before differentiation) of this well-chosen combination of zeta functions …

Study on manifolds with density using modified Hessians for curvature comparison.

We prove a general result about the stability of geometric flows of "closed" sections of vector bundles on compact manifolds. Our theorem allows to prove a stability result for the modified Laplacian coflow in G2-geometry introduced by Grigorian and for the balanced flow introduced by the authors in a previous paper.

In this paper, we develop a new approach to prove the $W$-entropy formula for the Witten Laplacian via warped product on Riemannian manifolds and give a natural geometric interpretation of a quantity appeared in the $W$-entropy formula. Then we prove the $W$-entropy formula for the Witten Laplacian on compact Riemannia…

We define the Ricci curvature on simplicial complexes by modifying the definition of the Ricci curvature on graphs, and we prove the upper and lower bounds of the Ricci curvature. These properties are generalizations of previous studies. Moreover, we obtain an estimate of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on simplicial …

Paper proves no nontrivial solutions to certain elliptic equations on graphs.

Irregular features disrupt the desired classification. In this paper, we consider aggressively modifying scales of features in the original space according to the label information to form well-separated clusters in low-dimensional space. The proposed method exploits spectral clustering to derive scaling factors that a…

Constructs geometries with nonvanishing curvature and essential automorphisms.

The paper extends manifold learning to arbitrary norms, improving molecular motion mapping.

In this paper, by slightly modifying Li-Yau's technique so that we can handle drifting Laplacians, we were able to find three different gradient estimates for the warping function, one for each sign of the Einstein constant of the fiber manifold. As an application, we exhibit a nonexistence theorem for gradient almost …

A submanifold $M$ of a Euclidean $m$-space is said to be biharmonic if $Δ\overrightarrow H=0$ holds identically, where $\overrightarrow H$ is the mean curvature vector field and $Δ$ is the Laplacian on $M$. In 1991, the author conjectured that every biharmonic submanifold of a Euclidean space is minimal. The study of b…

Introduces a new Hodge theory using vector fields on manifolds.

The paper extends Bochner's technique to singular distributions on manifolds.

Biharmonic maps are the critical points of the bienergy functional and, from this point of view, generalise harmonic maps. We consider the Hopf map $ψ:\s^3\to \s^2$ and modify it into a nonharmonic biharmonic map $φ:\s^3\to \s^3$. We show $φ$ to be unstable and estimate its biharmonic index and nullity. Resolving the s…

We discuss semiclassical asymptotics for the eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian for compact manifolds with boundary in the presence of a general Riemannian metric. To this end, we modify and use the variational method suggested by Kordyukov, Mathai and Shubin (2005), with a more extended use of quadratic forms instead…

A flow from hypersymplectic to hyperkähler structures is described.

In this paper we obtain generalized Keller-Osserman conditions for wide classes of differential inequalities on weighted Riemannian manifolds of the form $L u\geq b(x) f(u) \ell(|\nabla u|)$ and $L u\geq b(x) f(u) \ell(|\nabla u|) - g(u) h(|\nabla u|)$, where $L$ is a non-linear diffusion-type operator. Prototypical ex…

Fairness-aware diffusion for graph neural networks

Loss functions with a large number of saddle points are one of the major obstacles for training modern machine learning models efficiently. First-order methods such as gradient descent are usually the methods of choice for training machine learning models. However, these methods converge to saddle points for certain ch…

In this paper, we look for properties of gradient Yamabe solitons on top of warped product manifolds. Utilizing the maximum principle, we find lower bound estimates for both the potential function of the soliton and the scalar curvature of the warped product. By slightly modifying Li-Yau's technique so that we can hand…

We present GraphTSNE, a novel visualization technique for graph-structured data based on t-SNE. The growing interest in graph-structured data increases the importance of gaining human insight into such datasets by means of visualization. Among the most popular visualization techniques, classical t-SNE is not suitable o…
