In this paper, we consider two different monotone quantities defined for the Ricci flow and show that their asymptotic limits coincide for any ancient solutions. One of the quantities we consider here is Perelman's reduced volume, while the other is the local quantity discovered by Ecker, Knopf, Ni and Topping. This es…

The paper establishes inequalities for $p$-capacitary functions in flat half-spaces.

We introduced an asymptotic quantity that counts area-minimizing surfaces in negatively curved closed 3-manifolds and show that quantity to only be minimized, among all metrics of sectional curvature less than or equal -1, by the hyperbolic metric.

In this article, we consider the limit of quasi-local conserved quantities [31,9] at the infinity of an asymptotically hyperbolic initial data set in general relativity. These give notions of total energy-momentum, angular momentum, and center of mass. Our assumption on the asymptotics is less stringent than any previo…

In the spirit of Otal and Croke, we prove that a negatively-curved asymptotically hyperbolic surface is boundary distance rigid, where the distance between two points on the boundary at infinity is defined by a renormalized quantity.

We construct transformations which take asymptotically AdS hyperbolic initial data into asymptotically flat initial data, and which preserve relevant physical quantities. This is used to derive geometric inequalities in the asymptotically AdS hyperbolic setting from counterparts in the asymptotically flat realm, whenev…

Given a complete, Ricci-flat 4-manifold with a Killing field, we give an estimate on the manifold's energy in terms of a certain asymptotic quantity of the Killing field. If the Killing field has no zeros and satisfies a certain asymptotic condition, the manifold is flat.

Defines a new geometric quantity for hyperbolic manifolds, showing it's well-defined and invariant.

In the first half of this article, we survey the new quasi-local and total angular momentum and center of mass defined in [9] and summarize the important properties of these definitions. To compute these conserved quantities involves solving a nonlinear PDE system (the optimal isometric embedding equation), which is ra…

Risk contagion concerns any entity dealing with large scale risks. Suppose (X,Y) denotes a risk vector pertaining to two components in some system. A relevant measurement of risk contagion would be to quantify the amount of influence of high values of Y on X. This can be measured in a variety of ways. In this paper, we…

Study minimal surfaces in complex hyperbolic space, linking entropy and volume.

For a spacelike 2-surface in spacetime, we propose a new definition of quasi-local angular momentum and quasi-local center of mass, as an element in the dual space of the Lie algebra of the Lorentz group. Together with previous defined quasi-local energy-momentum, this completes the definition of conserved quantities i…

We derive necessary conditions for the spinorial Witten-Nester energy to be well-defined for asymptotically locally AdS spacetimes. We find that the conformal boundary should admit a spinor satisfying certain differential conditions and in odd dimensions the boundary metric should be conformally Einstein. We show that …

A mass-type invariant for smooth metric measure spaces and its relation with the fractional Yamabe problem

For a finite function class we describe the large sample limit of the sequential Rademacher complexity in terms of the viscosity solution of a $G$-heat equation. In the language of Peng's sublinear expectation theory, the same quantity equals to the expected value of the largest order statistics of a multidimensional $…

The study extends conserved quantities theory to non-compact boundary initial data sets.

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of two Teichmüller geodesic rays determined by Jenkins-Strebel differentials, and we obtain a generalization of a theorem in \cite{Amano14}. We also consider the infimum of the asymptotic distance in shifting base points of the rays along the geodesics. We show that th…

The paper analyzes how data augmentation affects the test error in regression models.

This paper establishes that optimistic algorithms attain gap-dependent and non-asymptotic logarithmic regret for episodic MDPs. In contrast to prior work, our bounds do not suffer a dependence on diameter-like quantities or ergodicity, and smoothly interpolate between the gap dependent logarithmic-regret, and the $\wid…

The paper defines a new mass quantity for 3-manifolds and proves a positive mass theorem.

We propose a general non-linear order book model that is built from the individual behaviours of the agents. Our framework encompasses Markovian and Hawkes based models. Under mild assumptions, we prove original results on the ergodicity and diffusivity of such system. Then we provide closed form formulas for various q…

In their papers published in 1993 and 1994, by expressing certain physical quantity in two distinct ways, Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa discovered a remarkable equivalence between Ray-Singer analytic torsion and elliptic instanton numbers for Calabi-Yau threefolds. After their discovery, in a paper published in 2008, …

We study the small time asymptotics of the gradient and Hessian of the logarithm of the heat kernel at the cut locus, giving, in principle, complete expansions for both quantities. We relate the leading terms of the expansions to the structure of the cut locus, especially to conjugacy, and we provide a probabilistic in…

We propose generalized random forests, a method for non-parametric statistical estimation based on random forests (Breiman, 2001) that can be used to fit any quantity of interest identified as the solution to a set of local moment equations. Following the literature on local maximum likelihood estimation, our method co…

Study on heat content for submanifolds in sub-Riemannian geometry.

The energy in a square membrane $Ω$ subject to constant viscous damping on a subset $ω\subset Ω$ decays exponentially in time as soon as $ω$ satisfies a geometrical condition known as the "Bardos-Lebeau-Rauch" condition. The rate $τ(ω)$ of this decay satisfies $τ(ω)= 2 \min(-μ(ω), g(ω))$ (see Lebeau [Math. Phys. Stud. …

The paper calculates spectral invariants of magnetic Steklov eigenvalues on Riemannian manifolds.

In this paper we generalize the monotonicity formulas of [C] for manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Monotone quantities play a key role in analysis and geometry; see, e.g., [A], [CM1] and [GL] for applications of monotonicity to uniqueness. Among the applications here is that level sets of Green's function on …

The study of random surfaces reveals asymptotic lengths of separating geodesics.

We show the existence of isoperimetric regions of sufficiently large volumes in general asymptotically hyperbolic three manifolds. Furthermore, we show that large coordinate spheres in compact perturbations of Schwarzschild-anti-deSitter are uniquely isoperimetric. This is relevant in the context of the asymptotically …

We define quasi-local conserved quantities in general relativity by using the optimal isometric embedding in [26] to transplant Killing fields in the Minkowski spacetime back to the 2-surface of interest in a physical spacetime. To each optimal isometric embedding, a dual element of the Lie algebra of the Lorentz group…

This paper considers magnitude, asymptotics and duration of drawdowns for some Lévy processes. First, we revisit some existing results on the magnitude of drawdowns for spectrally negative Lévy processes using an approximation approach. For any spectrally negative Lévy process whose scale functions are well-behaved at …
