Given a semisimple stable autonomous tensor category over a field $K$, to any group presentation with finite number of generators we associate an element $Q(P)\in K$ invariant under the Andrews-Curtis moves. We show that in fact, this is the same invariant as the one produced by the algorithm of Frank Quinn. The new de…

We relate $L^{q,p}$-cohomology of bounded geometry Riemannian manifolds to a purely metric space notion of $\ell^{q,p}$-cohomology, packing cohomology. This implies quasi-isometry invariance of $L^{q,p}$-cohomology together with its multiplicative structure. The result partially extends to the Rumin $L^{q,p}$-cohomolog…

We study the Chabauty compactification of two families of closed subgroups of $SL(n,\mathbb{Q}_p)$. The first family is the set of all parahoric subgroups of $SL(n,\mathbb{Q}_p)$. Although the Chabauty compactification of parahoric subgroups is well studied, we give a different and more geometric proof using various Le…

A point in the $(N,q)$-torus knot in $\mathbb{R}^3$ goes $q$ times along a vertical circle while this circle rotates $N$ times around the vertical axis. In the Lissajous-toric knot $K(N,q,p)$, the point goes along a vertical Lissajous curve (parametrized by $t\mapsto(\sin(qt+φ),\cos(pt+ψ)))$ while this curve rotates $N…

We prove the following version of Poincare duality for reduced $L_{q,p}$-cohomology: For any $1<q,p<\infty$, the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology of a Riemannian manifold is in duality with the interior $L_{p',q'}-cohomology for$1/p+1/p'=1$,$1/q+1/q'=1$.

We study some relation between some geometrically defined classes of diffeomorphisms between manifolds and the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology of these manifolds. Some applications to vanishing and non vanishing results in $L_{q,p}$-cohomology are given.

We study the relation between Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology of that manifold. The $L_{q,p}$-cohomology of $(M,g)$ is defined to be the quotient of the space of closed differential forms in $L^p(M)$ modulo the exact forms which are exterior diff…

We prove a non-vanishing result for the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology of complete simply-connected Riemannian manifolds with pinched negative curvature.

The paper introduces new functors for cohomology groups of manifolds.

The purpose of this paper is to give a self-contained proof that a complete manifold with more than one end never supports an $L^{q,p}$-Sobolev inequality ($2 \leq p$, $q\leq p^{*}$), provided the negative part of its Ricci tensor is small (in a suitable spectral sense). In the route, we discuss potential theoretic pro…

We study the simplicial {\ell} q,p cohomology of Carnot groups G. We show vanishing and non-vanishing results depending of the range of the (p, q) gap with respect to the weight gaps in the Lie algebra cohomology of G.

We establish a vanishing result for the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology ($q\ge p$) of a twisted cylinder, which is a generalization of a warped cylinder. The result is new even for warped cylinders. We base on the methods for proving the $(p,q)$ Sobolev--Poincaré inequality developed by L.~Shartser.

The paper evaluates biased methods for alpha-divergence minimization.

Improved Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for $L^1$ and $L^2$ norms.

Generative Adversial Networks (GANs) have made a major impact in computer vision and machine learning as generative models. Wasserstein GANs (WGANs) brought Optimal Transport (OT) theory into GANs, by minimizing the $1$-Wasserstein distance between model and data distributions as their objective function. Since then, W…

Every prism manifold can be parametrized by a pair of relatively prime integers $p>1$ and $q$. In our earlier papers, we determined a complete list of prism manifolds $P(p, q)$ that can be realized by positive integral surgeries on knots in $S^3$ when $q<0$ or $q>p$; in the present work, we solve the case when $0<q<p$.…

Study on TQFT signatures converging to modular form.

We describe in this paper a geometric construction in the projective p-adic plane that gives, together with a suitable notion of p-adic convexity, some open subsets of P 2 .Q p / naturally endowed with a "Hilbert" distance and a transitive action of PGL.2; Q p / by isometries. ese open sets are natural analogues of the…

Study improves Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities for differential forms.

We formulate the holographic principle for knots and links. For the "space" of all knots and links, torus knots T(2m+1,2) and torus links L(2m,2) play the role of the "boundary" of this space. Using the holographic principle, we find the skein relation of knots and links with the help of the recurrence relation for pol…

We consider a general Hermitian holomorphic line bundle $L$ on a compact complex manifold $M$ and let ${\Box}^q_p$ be the Kodaira Laplacian on $(0,q)$ forms with values in $L^p$. The main result is a complete asymptotic expansion for the semi-classically scaled heat kernel $\exp(-u{\Box}^q_p/p)(x,x)$ along the diagonal…

The paper extends inequalities to twisted differential forms on Kähler manifolds.

Extends insurance-finance arbitrage concept to include model uncertainty.

Paper establishes tight lower bounds for minimizing certain smooth and convex functions.

The graph complex acts on the spaces of Poisson bi-vectors $P$ by infinitesimal symmetries. We prove that whenever a Poisson structure is homogeneous, i.e. $P = L_{\vec{V}}(P)$ w.r.t. the Lie derivative along some vector field $\vec{V}$, but not quadratic (the coefficients of $P$ are not degree-two homogeneous polynomi…

The study examines discrete subgroups of PSL2 over non-archimedean fields.

We find all analytic surfaces in space $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that through each point of the surface one can draw two transversal circular arcs fully contained in the surface. The problem of finding such surfaces traces back to the works of Darboux from XIXth century. We prove that such a surface is an image of a subset o…

Recently an infinite family of explicit Sasaki-Einstein metrics Y^{p,q} on S^2 x S^3 has been discovered, where p and q are two coprime positive integers, with q<p. These give rise to a corresponding family of Calabi-Yau cones, which moreover are toric. Aided by several recent results in toric geometry, we show that th…

Classifies limits of groups of involutions in SL(2,F) over local fields.

We propose an algorithm which allows to derive the generalized Alexander polynomial invariants of knots and links with the help of the q,p-numbers, appearing in bosonic two-parameter quantum algebra. These polynomials turn into HOMFLY ones by applying special parametrization. The Jones polynomials can be also obtained …

Treebolic space is an analog of the Sol geometry, namely, it is the horocylic product of the hyperbolic upper half plane H and the homogeneous tree T with degree p+1 > 2, the latter seen as a one-complex. Let h be the Busemann function of T with respect to a fixed boundary point. Then for real q > 1 and integer p > 1, …

We present a spectral rigidity result for the Dirac operator on lens spaces. More specifically, we show that each homogeneous lens space and each three dimensional lens space $L(q;p)$ with $q$ prime is completely characterized by its Dirac spectrum in the class of all lens spaces.

An index theorem for the anti-self-dual deformation complex on anti-self-dual orbifolds with cyclic quotient singularities is proved. We present two applications of this theorem. The first is to compute the dimension of the deformation space of the Calderbank-Singer scalar-flat Kahler toric ALE spaces. A corollary of t…

For the Möbius spheres $S^{q,p}$, we give alternative elementary proofs of the recursive formulas for GJMS-operators and $Q$-curvatures due to the first author [Geom. Funct. Anal. 23, (2013), 1278-1370; arXiv:1108.0273]. These proofs make essential use of the theory of hypergeometric series.

We prove that the (p,q)-cable of a knot K in S^3 admits a positive L-space surgery if and only if K admits a positive L-space surgery and q/p \geq 2g(K)-1, where g(K) is the Seifert genus of K. The "if" direction is due to Hedden.

Let p and q be distinct integers greater than one. We show that the 2-component pretzel link P(p,q,-p,-q) is not slice, even though it has a ribbon mutant, by using 3-fold branched covers and an obstruction based on Donaldson's diagonalization theorem. As a consequence, we prove the slice-ribbon conjecture for 4-strand…

We first present three graphic surgery formulae for the degree $n$ part $Z_n$ of the Kontsevich-Kuperberg-Thurston universal finite type invariant of rational homology spheres. Each of these three formulae determines an alternate sum of the form $\sum_{I \subset N} (-1)^{\sharp I}Z_n(M_I)$ where $N$ is the set of com…

Unknotting numbers for torus knots and links are well known. In this paper, we present a method for determining the position of unknotting number crossing changes in a toric braid B(p, q) such that the closure of the resultant braid is equivalent to the trivial knot or link. Also, we provide a simple proof for the impo…

We continue our study of the realization problem for prism manifolds. Every prism manifold can be parametrized by a pair of relatively prime integers $p>1$ and $q$. We determine a complete list of prism manifolds $P(p, q)$ that can be realized by positive integral surgeries on knots in $S^3$ when $q>p$. The methodology…

Every torus knot can be represented as a Fourier-(1,1,2) knot which is the simplest possible Fourier representation for such a knot. This answers a question of Kauffman and confirms the conjecture made by Boocher, Daigle, Hoste and Zheng. In particular, the torus knot T(p,q) can be parameterized as x(t)=cos(pt), y(t)=c…

Let $G$ be a higher-rank semisimple Lie group over a nonarchimedean local field, for example $G={\rm PGL}(n,Q_P)$. To any lattice $L$ in $G$ there is an associated simplicial complex $B_L$, given by the quotient by $L$ of the Bruhat-Tits building associated to $G$. In this paper prove that the simplicial structure $B_L…

We provide a necessary condition for the existence of a compact Clifford-Klein form of a given homogeneous space of reductive type. The key to the proof is to combine a result of Kobayashi-Ono with an elementary fact that certain two different Clifford-Klein forms have the same cohomology ring. We give some examples, S…

The purpose of this paper is to study geometrically simply-connected homotopy 4-spheres by analyzing $n$-component links with a Dehn surgery realizing $\#^n(S^1\times S^2)$. We call such links $n$R-links. Our main result is that a homotopy 4-sphere that can be built without 1-handles and with only two 2-handles is diff…

We show that a surface group of high genus contained in a classical simple Lie group can be deformed to become Zariski dense, unless the Lie group is $SU(p,q)$ (resp. $SO^* (2n)$, $n$ odd) and the surface group is maximal in some $S(U(p,p)\times U(q-p))\subset SU(p,q)$ (resp. $SO^* (2n-2)\times SO(2)\subset SO^* (2n)$)…

Paper analyzes VI for location-scale families, proving robustness guarantees for mean and correlation recovery.

Vanishing results for reduced $L_{p,q}$-cohomology are established in the case of twisted products, which are a~generalization of warped products. Only the case $q \leq p$ is considered. This is an extension of some results by Gol'dshtein, Kuz'minov and Shvedov about the $L_{p}$-cohomology of warped cylinders. One of t…

We discuss twistor-like interpretation of the $Sp(8)$ invariant formulation of 4d massless fields in ten dimensional Lagrangian Grassmannian $Sp(8)/P$ which is the generalized space-time in this framework. The correspondence space $\mathbf{C}$ is $SpH(8)/PH$ where $SpH(8)$ is the semidirect product of $Sp(8)$ with Heis…

A pseudo-Riemannian manifold is said to be spacelike Jordan IP if the Jordan normal form of the skew-symmetric curvature operator depends upon the point of the manifold, but not upon the particular spacelike 2-plane in the tangent bundle at that point. We use methods of algebraic topology to classify connected spacelik…
