48 results for Schmutz's work

Let S be any orientable surface of infinite genus with a finite number of boundary components. In this work we consider the curve complex C(S), the nonseparating curve complex N(S) and the Schmutz graph G(S) of S. When all the topological ends of S carry genus, we show that all elements in the automorphism groups Aut(C…

For any ε>0\varepsilon>0, we construct a closed hyperbolic surface of genus g=g(ε)g=g(\varepsilon) with a set of at most εg\varepsilon g systoles that fill, meaning that each component of the complement of their union is contractible. This surface is also a critical point of index at most εg\varepsilon g for the systole fun…

Study finds bounds for systole length on arithmetic punctured spheres.

problem Finding the shortest essential curve on arithmetic punctured spheres.
method Correspondence between surfaces and planar triangulations to bound systole length.
result Arithmetic surfaces do not achieve maximal systole length for n=7,10,11n=7,10,11.

The so-called {\it kissing number} for hyperbolic surfaces is the maximum number of homotopically distinct systoles a surface of given genus gg can have. These numbers, first studied (and named) by Schmutz Schaller by analogy with lattice sphere packings, are known to grow, as a function of genus, at least like $g^{\s…

The trace set of a Fuchsian group ΓΓ ist the set of length of closed geodesics in the surface Γ\HΓ\backslash \mathbb{H}. Luo and Sarnak showed that the trace set of a cofinite arithmetic Fuchsian group satisfies the bounded clustering property. Sarnak then conjectured that the B-C property actually characterizes arithm…

Automorphisms of curve graphs and systolic complexes are isomorphic to mapping class groups for small k.

problem Understanding the automorphism groups of curve graphs and systolic complexes.
method Proving isomorphisms between automorphism groups and mapping class groups for small k.
result Automorphism groups of curve graphs and systolic complexes are isomorphic to mapping class groups for small k.

In this work we propose a heteroscedastic generalization to RVM, a fast Bayesian framework for regression, based on some recent similar works. We use variational approximation and expectation propagation to tackle the problem. The work is still under progress and we are examining the results and comparing with the prev…

Since the first work of Thomas Friedrich showing that isometric immersions of Riemann surfaces are related to spinors and the Dirac equation, various works appeared generalizing this approach to more general Spin-manifolds, in particular the case of submanifolds of Spin-manifolds of constant curvature. In the present w…

This is the first in a planned series of papers giving an alternate approach to Zlil Sela's work on the Tarski problems. The present paper is an exposition of work of Kharlampovich-Myasnikov and Sela giving a parametrization of Hom(G,F) where G is a finitely generated group and F is a non-abelian free group.

method Analyzes numerical schemes, Lie groups, connections, and integration theory.
result Developed new methods for integration and analysis on infinite-dimensional manifolds.

This paper surveys work on generalized Johnson homomorphisms and tools for studying them. The goal is to unite several related threads in the literature and to clarify existing results and relationships among them using Hodge theory. We survey the work of Alekseev, Kawazumi, Kuno and Naef on the Goldman--Turaev Lie bia…

In this work we offer a framework for reasoning about a wide class of existing objectives in machine learning. We develop a formal correspondence between this work and thermodynamics and discuss its implications.

New framework shows strategic behavior is actually a form of causal modeling.

method Developed a causal framework to distinguish between gaming and improvement.
result Proved any procedure for designing incentive classifiers must solve a causal inference problem.

For each graph, we construct a bigraded chain complex whose graded Euler characteristic is a version of the Tutte polynomial. This work is motivated by earlier work of Khovanov, Helme-Guizon and Rong, and others.
