Minimal TIP and TIF found in compact spacetimes, impacting spacetime splitting.

In this paper, we consider spaces whose Higson coronae are indecomposable continua. We show that for a non-compact proper metric space $X$ which is coarsely geodesic and has coarse bounded geometry, the Higson corona of $X$ is an indecomposable continuum if and only if $X$ is coarsely equivalent to the space of natural…

Maximal spacetimes have unique past/future sets.

Develops a learning model predictive controller for competitive racing.

We classify indecomposable racks of order p^2 (p a prime). There are 2p^2 - 2p - 2 isomorphism classes, among which 2p^2 - 3p - 1 correspond to quandles. In particular, we prove that an indecomposable quandle of order p^2 is affine (=Alexander). One of the results yielding this classification is the computation of the …

Backward stochastic partial differential equations of parabolic type in bounded domains are studied in the setting where the coercivity condition is not necessary satisfied and the equation can be degenerate. Some generalized solutions based on the representation theorem are suggested. In addition to problems with a st…

We show that the orientable double covering space of an indecomposable non-orientable $PD_3$-complex has torsion free fundamental group.

An uncountable collection of arcs in S^3 is constructed, each member of which is wild precisely at its endpoints, such that the fundamental groups of their complements are non-trivial, pairwise non-isomorphic, and indecomposable with respect to free products. The fundamental group of the complement of a certain Fox-Art…

In this work we characterize branch data of branched coverings of even degree over the projective plane which are realizable by indecomposable branched coverings.

We show that every n-dimensional locally homogeneous pp-wave is a plane wave, provided it is indecomposable and its curvature operator, when acting on $2$-forms, has rank greater than one. As a consequence we obtain that indecomposable, Ricci-flat locally homogeneous pp-waves are plane waves. This generalises a classic…

Infinite Klein bottles with 4-fold meridians found.

For each pair of integers g at least 2 and h at least 1, we explicitly construct infinitely many fiber sum and section sum indecomposable genus g surface bundles over genus h surfaces whose total spaces are pairwise homotopy inequivalent.

New mappings on closed manifolds can't be broken down easily.

After shortly recalling the construction of the Khovanov-Kuperberg algebras, we give a characterisation of indecomposable web-modules. It says that a web-module is indecomposable if and only if one can deduce it directly from the Kuperberg bracket (via a Schur lemma argument). The proofs relies on the construction of i…

It was shown by Usher that any fiber sum of Lefschetz fibrations over $S^2$ is minimal, which was conjectured by Stipsicz. We prove that the converse does not hold by showing that there exists an indecomposable minimal genus-2 Lefschetz fibration.

Using the classification of transitive groups we classify indecomposable quandles of size <36. This classification is available in Rig, a GAP package for computations related to racks and quandles. As an application, the list of all indecomposable quandles of size <36 not of type D is computed.

We consider a class of $S^{1}$-bundles whose total space admits a nowhere vanishing recurrent lightlike vector field with respect to a Lorentzian metric. This metric can be modified such that its restricted holonomy group is indecomposable and reducible. We apply Hodge theory to construct examples with Hermitian screen…

For k at least 2, we exhibit complete k-curvature homogeneous neutral signature pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not locally affine homogeneous (and hence not locally homogeneous). The curvature tensor of these manifolds is modeled on that of an indecomposible symmetric space. All the local scalar Weyl curvature i…

We recall a construction of Mackaay, Pan and Tubbenhauer of the algebras $K^ε$ which allow to understand the $sl_3$ homology for links in a local way (i.e. for tangles). Then, by studying the combinatorics of the Kuperberg bracket, we give a large family of non-elliptic webs whose associated projective $K^ε$-modules ar…

The object of investigations are almost hypercomplex structures with Hermitian-Norden metrics on 4-dimensional Lie groups considered as smooth manifolds. There are studied both the basic classes of a classification of 4-dimensional indecomposable real Lie algebras depending on two parameters. Some geometric characteris…

We show that the Gromov boundary of the free factor graph for the free group Fn with n>2 generators is the space of equivalence classes of minimal very small indecomposable projective Fn-trees without point stabilizer containing a free factor equipped with a quotient topology. Here two such trees are equivalent if the …

We study the geometry and holonomy of semi-Riemannian, time-like metric cones that are indecomposable, i.e., which do not admit a local decomposition into a semi-Riemannian product. This includes irreducible cones, for which the holonomy can be classified, as well as non irreducible cones. The latter admit a parallel d…

Study introduces indecomposability for varifolds, leading to geometric consequences.

For each g > 2 and h > 1, we explicitly construct (1) fiber sum indecomposable relatively minimal genus g Lefschetz fibrations over genus h surfaces whose monodromies lie in the Torelli group, (2) fiber sum indecomposable genus g surface bundles over genus h surfaces whose monodromies are in the Torelli group (provided…

Classifies Lie bialgebras using Darboux families.

Given a branched covering of degree d between closed surfaces, it determines a collection of partitions of d, the branch data. In this work we show that any branch data are realized by an indecomposable primitive branched covering on a connected close surface N with Euler's characteristic less than or equal to 0. This …

Let $T$ be an $\mathbb{R}$-tree, equipped with a very small action of the rank $n$ free group $F_n$, and let $H \leq F_n$ be finitely generated. We consider the case where the action $F_n \curvearrowright T$ is indecomposable--this is a strong mixing property introduced by Guirardel. In this case, we show that the acti…

Energy-efficient detection of natural errors in deep networks.

Researchers found indecomposable Killing tensor fields on quaternionic projective spaces.

We solve the twistor equation on all indecomposable Lorentzian symmetric spaces explicity.

We extend the techniques of [CH] to build an inductive procedure for studying actions in the boundary of the Culler-Vogtmann Outer Space, the main novelty being an adaptation of he classical Rauzy-Veech induction for studying actions of surface type. As an application, we prove that a tree in the boundary of Outer spac…

We prove a version the Penrose inequality for black hole space-times which are perturbations of the Schwarzschild exterior in a slab around a null hypersurface $\underline{\mathcal{N}}_0$. $\underline{\mathcal{N}}_0$ terminates at past null infinity $\mathcal{I}^-$ and $\mathcal{S}_0:=\partial\underline{\mathcal{N}}_0$…

Completes classification of G2-structures on specific nilpotent Lie groups.

In this work we study the decomposability property of branched coverings of degree $d$ odd, over the projective plane, where the covering surface has Euler characteristic $\leq 0$. The latter condition is equivalent to say that the defect of the covering is greater than $d$. We show that, given a datum $\mathscr{D}=\{D…

This paper completes the classification of certain nilpotent Lie groups with specific geometric structures.

The paper characterizes coverings over the projective plane with minimal defect.

Manifolds with exceptional holonomy play an important role in string theory, supergravity and M-theory. It is explained how one can find the holonomy algebra of an arbitrary Riemannian or Lorentzian manifold. Using the de~Rham and Wu decompositions, this problem is reduced to the case of locally indecomposable manifold…

This article can be viewed as a continuation of the articles arXiv:0912.3486 and arXiv:1012.3714 where the decomposable Lie algebras admitting half-flat SU(3)-structures are classified. The new main result is the classification of the indecomposable six-dimensional Lie algebras with five-dimensional nilradical which ad…

This article analyzes the interplay between symplectic geometry in dimension four and the invariants for smooth four-manifolds constructed using holomorphic triangles introduced in math.SG/0110169. Specifically, we establish a non-vanishing result for the invariants of symplectic four-manifolds, which leads to new proo…

We show that if a group can be represented as a graph product of finite directly indecomposable groups, then this representation is unique.

We show that if $X$ is an indecomposable $PD_3$-complex and $π_1(X) is the fundamental group of a reduced finite graph of finite groups but is not virtually cyclic then$X$is orientable, the underlying graph is a tree, all the edge groups are$Z/2Z$and all but at most one of the vertex groups is dihedral of order$2m…

We study the class of Azéma-Yor processes defined from a general semimartingale with a continuous running maximum process. We show that they arise as unique strong solutions of the Bachelier stochastic differential equation which we prove is equivalent to the drawdown equation. Solutions of the latter have the drawdown…

We determine all indecomposable pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces of signature (4,3) whose holonomy is contained in $G_{2(2)}\subset SO(4,3)$.

This paper studies a composite problem involving the decision making of the optimal entry time and dynamic consumption afterwards. In stage-1, the investor has access to full market information subjecting to some information costs and needs to choose an optimal stopping time to initiate stage-2; in stage-2, the investo…

We show that there are two homotopy types of PD_3-complexes with fundamental group S_3*_{Z/2Z}S_3, and give explicit constructions for each, which differ only in the attachment of the top cell.
