The paper matches features in images using centro-affine invariants and heat flow.
This research studies affine invariance in continuous-domain convolutional neural networks.
Employing a centro-affine flow on smooth convex bodies, we generate new centro-affine differential invariants. One class of the newly defined invariants is the object of a sharp isoperimetric inequality, while other new inequalities on known centro-affine invariants are obtained as a byproduct of the flow's study. Furt…

We state and prove a simple Theorem that allows one to generate invariant quantities in Metric-Affine Geometry, under a given transformation of the affine connection. We start by a general functional of the metric and the connection and consider transformations of the affine connection possessing a certain symmetry. We…
New invariants found for mappings between non-symmetric affine spaces.
Equal-volume polygons are obtained from adequate discretizations of curves in 3-space, contained or not in surfaces. In this paper we explore the similarities of these polygons with the affine arc-length parameterized smooth curves to develop a theory of discrete affine invariants. Besides obtaining discrete affine inv…
This paper deals essentially with affine or projective transformations of Lie groups endowed with a flat left invariant affine or projective structure. These groups are called flat affine or flat projective Lie groups. Our main results determine Lie groups admitting flat bi-invariant affine or projective structures. Th…
Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) matrices have been widely used in medical data analysis and a number of different Riemannian met-rics were proposed to compute with them. However, there are very few methodological principles guiding the choice of one particular metric for a given application. Invariance under the acti…
We present a construction of invariants for links using an isomorphism theorem for affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras. The isomorphism relates affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras with usual affine Hecke algebras. We use it to construct a large class of Markov traces on affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras, and in turn, to produce …
In this paper we exhibit a family of flat left invariant affine structures on the double Lie group of the oscillator Lie group of dimension 4, associated to each solution of classical Yang-Baxter equation given by Boucetta and Medina. On the other hand, using Koszul's method, we prove the existence of an immersion of L…
New samplers improve MCMC efficiency in high dimensions.
This paper deals with affine connections on real manifolds. We give a new characterization of flat affine connections on real manifolds by means of certain affine representations of the Lie group of automorphisms preserving the connection. Then we specialize the characterization to the case of a left invariant connecti…
Motivated by control-affine systems in optimal control theory, we introduce the notion of a point-affine distribution on a manifold X - i.e., an affine distribution F together with a distinguished vector field contained in F. We compute local invariants for point-affine distributions of constant type when dim(X)=n, ran…

We give a new characterization of flat affine manifolds in terms of an action of the Lie algebra of classical infinitesimal affine transformations on the bundle of linear frames. We characterize flat affine symplectic Lie groups using symplectic étale affine representations and as a consequence of this, we show that a …
The paper studies third-order PDEs invariant under affine transformations and connects them to the Fubini-Pick invariant.
The goal of this paper is to provide a method, based on the theory of extensions of left-symmetric algebras, for classifying left-invariant affine structures on a given solvable Lie group of low dimension. To better illustrate our method, we shall apply it to classify complete left-invariant affine structures on the os…
We investigate the geometric properties of hyperbolic affine flat, affine minimal surfaces in the equiaffine space . We use Cartan's method of moving frames to compute a complete set of local invariants for such surfaces. Using these invariants, we give a complete local classification of such surfaces and…
We consider smooth plane curves which are convex with respect to the origin. We describe centro-affine invariants (that is, GL_+(2,R)-invariants), such as centro-affine curvature and arc length, in terms of the canonical Lorentz structure on the three dimensional space of all the ellipses centered at zero, by means of …

The paper shows measures equidistribute on affine submanifolds with a rate.
We define a multi-variable version of the Affine Index Polynomial for virtual links. This invariant reduces to the original Affine Index Polynomial in the case of virtual knots, and also generalizes the version for compatible virtual links recently developed by L. Kauffman. We prove that this invariant is a Vassiliev i…
In this paper we construct new invariants of knotoids including the odd writhe, the parity bracket polynomial, the affine index polynomial and the arrow polynomial, and give an introduction to the theory of virtual knotoids. The invariants in this paper are defined for classical knotoids in analogy to corresponding inv…

A -dimensional Lie group equipped with a left invariant symplectic form $\om^+$ is called a symplectic Lie group. It is well-known that $\om^+$ induces a left invariant affine structure on . Relatively to this affine structure we show that the left invariant Poisson tensor corresponding to $\om^+$ is po…

In these notes we survey basic concepts of affine geometry and their interaction with Riemannian geometry. We give a characterization of affine manifolds which has as counterpart those pseudo-Riemannian manifolds whose Levi-Civita connection is flat. We show that no connected semisimple Lie group admits a left invarian…
In this paper, we introduce a new parameter, the affine twist parameter for the affine deformation of a sphere with holes. We show that the affine deformation space can be parametrized by Margulis invariants and affine twist parameters. The affine twist parameter is canonically regarded as a correspondence to the Fench…

Let G be a Lie group with Lie algebra $ \Cal G: = T_εG$ and $T^*G = \Cal G^* \rtimes G$ its cotangent bundle considered as a Lie group, where G acts on $\Cal G^*$ via the coadjoint action. We show that there is a 1-1 correspondance between the skew-symmetric solutions $r\in \wedge^2 \Cal G$ of the Classical Yang-Baxter…
New method constructs proper affine actions of groups in higher dimensions.
In this article, we propose the notion of the general -affine capacity and prove some basic properties for the general -affine capacity, such as affine invariance and monotonicity. The newly proposed general -affine capacity is compared with several classical geometric quantities, e.g., the volume, the -var…

We prove that any real Lie group of dimension \leq 5 admits a left invariant flat projective structure. We also prove that a real Lie group L of dimension \leq 5 admits a left invariant flat affine structure if and only if the Lie algebra of L is not perfect.
We develop an approach to affine symplectic invariant geometry of Lagrangian surfaces by the method of moving frames. The fundamental invariants of elliptic Lagrangian immersions in affine symplectic four-space are derived together with their integrability equations. The invariant setup is applied to discuss the questi…
In this paper, we explicitly construct the Calabi composition of multiple affine hyperspheres possibly including some points viewing as 0-dimensional hypersheres. Then we compute all the basic affine invariants of the composed affine hyperspheres, proving that the composed affine hypersphere is symmetric one if and onl…
This paper describes a polynomial invariant of virtual knots that is defined in terms of an integer labeling of the virtual knot diagram. This labeling is seen to derive from an essentially unique structure of affine flat biquandle for flat virtual diagrams. The invariant is discussed in detail with many examples,inclu…

For a regular elliptical surface we define a moving frame of minimal order and get the complete system of differential invariants. As an application we classify regular elliptical surfaces of constant curvatures up to aff…
