Current state-of-the-art discrete optimization methods struggle behind when it comes to challenging contrast-enhancing discrete energies (i.e., favoring different labels for neighboring variables). This work suggests a multiscale approach for these challenging problems. Deriving an algebraic representation allows us to…

We work in both the complex and in the para-complex categories and examine (para)-Kähler Weyl structures in both the geometric and in the algebraic settings. The higher dimensional setting is quite restrictive. We show that any (para)-Kaehler Weyl algebraic curvature tensor is in fact Riemannian in dimension at least 6…

We use algebraic techniques to study homological filling functions of groups and their subgroups. If GG is a group admitting a finite (n+1)(n+1)--dimensional K(G,1)K(G,1) and HGH \leq G is of type Fn+1F_{n+1}, then the nthn^{th}--homological filling function of HH is bounded above by that of GG. This contrast with known examp…

In 1938, Tarski proved that a formula is not intuitionistically valid if, and only if, it has a counter-model in the Heyting algebra of open sets of some topological space. In fact, Tarski showed that any Euclidean space R^n with n >= 1 suffices, as does e.g. the Cantor space. In particular, intuitionistic logic cannot…

Penner proved that the logarithm of the minimal dilatation for a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of S_g tends to zero at the rate 1/g. We consider here the smallest dilatati…
