Explicitly describes pluriclosed metrics on compact Lie groups.

In this paper we prove that for a fixed neat principal congruence subgroup of a Bianchi group the order of the torsion part of its second cohomology group with coefficients in an integral lattice associated to the m-th symmetric power of the standard representation of SL_2(C) grows exponentially in m^2. We give upper a…

We construct two infinite families of ball quotient compactifications birational to bielliptic surfaces. For each family, the volume spectrum of the associated noncompact finite volume ball quotient surfaces is the set of all positive integral multiples of $\frac{8}{3}π^{2}$, i.e., they attain all possible volumes of c…

We introduce and begin the study of new knot energies defined on knot diagrams. Physically, they model the internal energy of thin metallic solid tori squeezed between two parallel planes. Thus the knots considered can perform the second and third Reidemeister moves, but not the first one. The energy functionals consid…

In this paper, we prove an extended version of the Minkowski Inequality, holding for any smooth bounded set $Ω\subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$. Our proof relies on the discovery of effective monotonicity formulas holding along the level set flow of the $p$-capacitary potentials associated with $Ω$, for every $p$ suffici…

In this paper we prove a version of Connes' trace theorem for noncommutative tori of any dimension~$n\geq 2$. This allows us to recover and improve earlier versions of this result in dimension $n=2$ and $n=4$ by Fathizadeh-Khalkhali. We also recover the Connes integration formula for flat noncommutative tori of McDonal…

Different directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) may be Markov equivalent in the sense that they entail the same conditional independence relations among the observed variables. Meek (1995) characterizes Markov equivalence classes for DAGs (with no latent variables) by presenting a set of orientation rules that can correctly i…

Quantization and reduction for coisotropic A-branes on Hamiltonian manifolds.

Let $G$ be an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over a number field $k$, and let $S$ be a finite set of places of $k$ including all infinite places. Let $X$ be the product over $v\in S$ of the symmetric spaces associated to $G(k_v)$, when $v$ is an infinite place, and the Bruhat-Tits buildings ass…

Continuous word representation (aka word embedding) is a basic building block in many neural network-based models used in natural language processing tasks. Although it is widely accepted that words with similar semantics should be close to each other in the embedding space, we find that word embeddings learned in seve…

The paper simplifies embedding spaces in manifolds by attaching handles.

The study finds a special type of smooth function on connected sums of manifolds.

The paper shows how certain circle families in $S^1 imes D^3$ relate to sphere families in $S^2 imes D^2$ and induces nontrivial barbell diffeomorphisms.

We investigate the use of the Hurst exponent, dynamically computed over a moving time-window, to evaluate the level of stability/instability of financial firms. Financial firms bailed-out as a consequence of the 2007-2010 credit crisis show a neat increase with time of the generalized Hurst exponent in the period prece…

This note provides a neat and enjoyable expansion and application of the magnificent Ordentlich-Cover theory of "universal portfolios." I generalize Cover's benchmark of the best constant-rebalanced portfolio (or 1-linear trading strategy) in hindsight by considering the best bilinear trading strategy determined in hin…

We solve a portfolio selection problem with four objectives, finding convex scalarizations for part of the Pareto front.

This paper is on the normal approximation of singular subspaces when the noise matrix has i.i.d. entries. Our contributions are three-fold. First, we derive an explicit representation formula of the empirical spectral projectors. The formula is neat and holds for deterministic matrix perturbations. Second, we calculate…

We study constrained nonconvex optimization problems in machine learning, signal processing, and stochastic control. It is well-known that these problems can be rewritten to a minimax problem in a Lagrangian form. However, due to the lack of convexity, their landscape is not well understood and how to find the stable e…

Principal component analysis (PCA) is widely used for dimensionality reduction, with well-documented merits in various applications involving high-dimensional data, including computer vision, preference measurement, and bioinformatics. In this context, the fresh look advocated here permeates benefits from variable sele…

Improved neural network capacity analysis using simplified RDT.

ASkotch solves large-scale KRR faster and better than existing methods.

It is well known that the compactifications of the canonical contact systems living on real jet spaces $J^{\,r}(1,1)$, $r \ge 2$, are locally universal Goursat distributions, $Δ^r$, living on compact manifolds (called Goursat monsters) having open dense jet-like ($J^{\,r}(1,1)$-like) parts. By virtue of the results of …

BSDEs help in financial pricing and utility maximization.

Study tackles causal effects of close contact on MRSA infections from entangled treatment data.

This is the second in a series of papers discussing in the framework of gerbe theory canonical and geometric aspects of the 2d nonlinear sigma model in the presence of conformal defects in the worldsheet. Employing the formal tools worked out in the first paper of the series, 1101.1126 [hep-th], a thorough analysis of …
