Study of toric generalized Kähler structures with strong Hamiltonian torus actions.

NSGLD improves SGLD for non-convex optimization problems.

We consider the problem of learning regression functions from pairwise data when there exists prior knowledge that the relation to be learned is symmetric or anti-symmetric. Such prior knowledge is commonly enforced by symmetrizing or anti-symmetrizing pairwise kernel functions. Through spectral analysis, we show that …

Kernel ridge regression inference for nonstandard data.

The paper derives formulas for linear connections with totally anti-symmetric torsion in 3D generalized Berwald manifolds.

We study various topological invariants on a torsional geometry in the presence of a totally anti-symmetric torsion H under the closed condition dH = 0, which appears in string theory compactification scenarios. By using the identification between the Clifford algebra on the geometry and the canonical quantization cond…

Maps Lagrangian submanifolds to quaternionic projective space, proving one-to-one correspondences.

New method for calculating HOMFLY polynomials in symmetric representations.

We show that the $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$-valued linking forms on rational homology spheres are (anti-) symmetric and we compute the linking form of a 3-dimensional rational homology sphere in terms of a Heegaard splitting. Both results have been known to a larger or lesser degree, but it is difficult to find rigorous d…

We establish the regularity theory for certain critical elliptic systems with an anti-symmetric structure under inhomogeneous Neumann and Dirichlet boundary constraints. As applications, we prove full regularity and smooth estimates at the free boundary for weakly Dirac-harmonic maps from spin Riemann surfaces. Our met…

Recently Berman and Perry constructed a four-dimensional M-theory effective action which manifests SL(5) U-duality. Here we propose an underlying differential geometry of it, under the name `SL(5) U-geometry' which generalizes the ordinary Riemannian geometry in an SL(5) compatible manner. We introduce a `semi-covarian…

The paper analyzes variance reduction in stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics.

New structures on symplectic manifolds derived from convex functions and matrices.

It is known that knot homologies admit a physical description as spaces of open BPS states. We study operators and algebras acting on these spaces. This leads to a very rich story, which involves wall crossing phenomena, algebras of closed BPS states acting on spaces of open BPS states, and deformations of Landau-Ginzb…

Motivated by a possible connection between the $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ instanton knot Floer homology of Kronheimer and Mrowka and $\mathfrak{sl}(N)$ Khovanov-Rozansky homology, Lobb and Zentner recently introduced a moduli problem associated to colourings of trivalent graphs of the kind considered by Murakami, Ohtsuki and Yam…

Study minimal rational curves on complex manifolds with isotropic VMRT.

Character expansion expresses extended HOMFLY polynomials through traces of products of finite dimensional R- and Racah mixing matrices. We conjecture that the mixing matrices are expressed entirely in terms of the eigenvalues of the corresponding R-matrices. Even a weaker (and, perhaps, more reliable) version of this …

This paper starts a systematic description of colored knot polynomials, beginning from the first non-(anti)symmetric representation R=[2,1]. The project involves several steps: (i) parametrization of big families of knots a la arXiv:1506.00339, (ii) evaluating Racah/mixing matrices for various numbers of strands in var…

To backpropagate the gradients through stochastic binary layers, we propose the augment-REINFORCE-merge (ARM) estimator that is unbiased, exhibits low variance, and has low computational complexity. Exploiting variable augmentation, REINFORCE, and reparameterization, the ARM estimator achieves adaptive variance reducti…

We describe the inclusive Racah matrices for the first non-(anti)symmetric rectangular representation R=[2,2] for quantum groups U_q(sl_N). Most of them have sizes 2, 3, and 4 and are fully described by the eigenvalue hypothesis. Of two 6x6 matrices, one is also described in this way, but the other one corresponds to t…

Given a normed plane $\mathcal{P}$, we call $\mathcal{P}$-cycloids the planar curves which are homothetic to their double $\mathcal{P}$-evolutes. It turns out that the radius of curvature and the support function of a $\mathcal{P}$-cycloid satisfy a differential equation of Sturm-Liouville type. By studying this equati…

We describe the explicit form and the hidden structure of the answer for the HOMFLY polynomial for the figure eight and some other 3-strand knots in representation [21]. This is the first result for non-torus knots beyond (anti)symmetric representations, and its evaluation is far more complicated. We provide a whole va…

A Killing $p$-form on a Riemannian manifold is a $p$-form whose covariant derivative is totally anti-symmetric. In this paper we give the complete (local) description of 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (M,g) carrying non-parallel Killing 2-forms $\varphi$. If $M$ is connected and oriented, we show that there exists …

We consider the issue of the slice invariance of refined topological string amplitudes, which means that they are independent of the choice of the preferred direction of the refined topological vertex. We work out two examples. The first example is a geometric engineering of five-dimensional U(1) gauge theory with a ma…

Unified framework for training generator, energy model, and inference model.

We consider braids with repeating patterns inside arbitrary knots which provides a multi-parametric family of knots, depending on the "evolution" parameter, which controls the number of repetitions. The dependence of knot (super)polynomials on such evolution parameters is very easy to find. We apply this evolution meth…

The Bakry-Emery generalized Ricci tensor arises in scalar-tensor gravitation theories in the conformal gauge known as the Jordan frame. Recent results from the mathematics literature show that standard singularity and splitting theorems that hold when an energy condition is applied in general relativity also hold when …

Using the correspondence between Chern-Simons theories and Wess-Zumino-Witten models we present the necessary tools to calculate colored HOMFLY polynomials for hyperbolic knots. For two-bridge hyperbolic knots we derive the colored HOMFLY invariants in terms of crossing matrices of the underlying Wess-Zumino-Witten mod…

In this paper, we illustrated one scenario to modify the Ivanenko-Landau-Kähler equation. Since Ivanenko and Landau introduced the equation in 1928, the equation has been regarded as having a certain role as a fermion in particular in the discrete Lattice. Also, although it correctly is formulated as an alternative cla…

We relate canonical algebraic curvature tensors that are built from a self-adjoint ($R^S_A$) or skew adjoint ($R^Λ_A$) linear operator A. Several authors have proven that any algebraic curvature tensor $R$ may be expressed as a sum of $R^S_A$, or as a sum of $R^Λ_A$. This motivates our interest in relating them as well…

We give new estimates for a critical elliptic system introduced by Rivière-Struwe in \cite{riviere_struwe} (see also the work of Rupflin \cite{rupflin} and Schikorra \cite{schikorra_frames}), which generalises PDE solved by harmonic (and almost harmonic) maps from a Euclidean ball $B_1 \In \R^n$ into Riemannian manifol…

Most recent results in matrix completion assume that the matrix under consideration is low-rank or that the columns are in a union of low-rank subspaces. In real-world settings, however, the linear structure underlying these models is distorted by a (typically unknown) nonlinear transformation. This paper addresses the…
