Model captures author language diffusion over time.

Topic modeling enables exploration and compact representation of a corpus. The CaringBridge (CB) dataset is a massive collection of journals written by patients and caregivers during a health crisis. Topic modeling on the CB dataset, however, is challenging due to the asynchronous nature of multiple authors writing abo…

We study finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface S. In particular, we construct invariants of such irreducible representations when the underlying parameter q is a root of unity. The main one of these invariants is a point in the character variety consisting of group homomorphisms …

The paper parametrizes spaces of maximal framed representations for a specific type of surface group.

New method for group representation presentations.

Study classifies Lie group representations with non-empty boundary orbit space.

The purpose of this short note is to relate a representation formula due to the Author and P. Romon for Lagrangian surfaces (see math.DG/0009202) to a more general Weierstrass representation type formula found by Konopelchenko for surfaces in 4-dimensional space (see math.DG/9807129). Simplifications are pointed out.

We show that the Thurston norm of any irreducible 3-manifold can be detected using twisted Reidemeister torsions corresponding to integral representations and also corresponding to representations over finite fields. In particular our result holds for all graph manifolds, these are not covered by the earlier work of th…

For A a primitive 2N-root of unity with N odd, the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev topological quantum field theory provides a representation of the Kauffman skein algebra of a closed surface. We show that this representation is irreducible and we compute its classical shadow, in the sense of earlier work of the authors (arX…

A new method for name disambiguation in academic networks using multi-view attention and recurrent neural networks.

We conjecturally extract the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of the (m, n) torus knot from the unique finite dimensional simple representation of the rational DAHA of type A, rank n - 1, and central character m/n. The conjectural differentials of Gukov, Dunfield and the third author receive an explicit algebra…

NTL protects AI models by restricting their generalization ability to specific domains.

Author profiling is the characterization of an author through some key attributes such as gender, age, and language. In this paper, a RNN model with Attention (RNNwA) is proposed to predict the gender of a twitter user using their tweets. Both word level and tweet level attentions are utilized to learn 'where to look'.…

Study on mapping class groups for low genus surfaces.

In this paper, we study the geometric and dynamical properties of maximal representations of surface groups into Hermitian Lie groups of rank 2. Combining tools from Higgs bundle theory, the theory of Anosov representations, and pseudo-Riemannian geometry, we obtain various results of interest. We prove that these repr…

In this paper we give a spinorial representation of submanifolds of any dimension and codimension into Riemannian space forms in terms of the existence of so called generalized Killing spinors. We then discuss several applications, among them a new and concise proof of the fundamental theorem of submanifold theory. We …

We prove that rigid representations of the fundamental group of a surface into the group of oreintation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle are geometric, thereby establishing a converse statement of a theorem by the first author.

Enhanced neural model detects misinformation by considering author context.

The authors conjectured previously that a knot is nonfibered if and only if its infinite cyclic cover has uncountably many finite covers. We prove the conjecture for a class of knots that includes all knots of genus 1, using techniques from symbolic dynamics.

In current paper we refer to the geometrical classification of the Einstein equations which has been developed by one of the authors of this paper. This classification was based on the classical theory for decomposition of the tensor product of representations into irreducible components, which is studied in the elemen…

Formula for colored Links-Gould polynomial with genus bounds.

These notes are an extended version of a talk given by the author in the seminar "Theorie Spectrale et Geometrie" at the Institut Fourier in No- vember 2016. We present here some aspects of a work in collaboration with B. Collier and N. Tholozan (arXiv:1702.08799). We describe how Higgs bundle theory and pseudo-hyperbo…

Study of instantons and knot representations in 3-manifolds.

Enhances knot Floer homology with algebraic representation theory.

Let M be an oriented complete hyperbolic n-manifold of finite volume. Using the definition of volume of a representation previously given by the authors in [BucherBurgerIozzi2013] we show that the volume of a representation of the fundamental group of M into the connected component of the isometry group of hyperbolic n…

Cochran, Orr and Teichner introduced $L^2$--eta--invariants to detect highly non--trivial examples of non slice knots. Using a recent theorem by Lück and Schick we show that their metabelian $L^2$--eta--invariants can be viewed as the limit of finite dimensional unitary representations. We recall a ribbon obstruction t…

The paper proves a criterion for L-space knots and their representations.

In earlier work, we constructed invariants of irreducible representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface. We introduce here an inverse construction, which to a set of possible invariants associates an irreducible representation that realizes these invariants. The current article is restricted to surfaces wi…

The paper finds a special pants decomposition for certain surface group representations.

We prove that any rigid representation of $π_1Σ_g$ in $\mathrm{Homeo}_+(S^1)$ with Euler number at least $g$ is necessarily semi-conjugate to a discrete, faithful representation into $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. Combined with earlier work of Matsumoto, this precisely characterizes Fuchsian actions by a topological rig…

We prove the existence of a new algorithm for 3-sphere recognition based on Groebner basis methods applied to the variety of $\text{\em SL}(2,\C)$-representation of the fundamental group. An essential input is a recent result of the second author, stating that any integer homology 3-sphere different from the 3-sphere a…

Many methods have been used to recognize author personality traits from text, typically combining linguistic feature engineering with shallow learning models, e.g. linear regression or Support Vector Machines. This work uses deep-learning-based models and atomic features of text, the characters, to build hierarchical, …

We construct a weak 2-functor from the bicategory of oriented tangles to a bicategory of Lagrangian cospans. This functor simultaneously extends the Burau representation of the braid groups, its generalization to tangles due to Turaev and the first-named author, and the Alexander module of 1 and 2-dimensional links.

New model-independent compact representations of imaginary-time data are presented in terms of the intermediate representation (IR) of analytical continuation. This is motivated by a recent numerical finding by the authors [J. Otsuki et al., arXiv:1702.03056]. We demonstrate the efficiency of the IR through continuous-…

Malware authors have always been at an advantage of being able to adversarially test and augment their malicious code, before deploying the payload, using anti-malware products at their disposal. The anti-malware developers and threat experts, on the other hand, do not have such a privilege of tuning anti-malware produ…

We show that the "geometric models of matter" approach proposed by the first author can be used to construct models of anyon quasiparticles with fractional quantum numbers, using 4-dimensional edge-cone orbifold geometries with orbifold singularities along embedded 2-dimensional surfaces. The anyon states arise through…

Survey on twisted dynamical zeta functions and Fried's conjecture.

FI-modules were introduced by the first three authors in [CEF] to encode sequences of representations of symmetric groups. Over a field of characteristic 0, finite generation of an FI-module implies representation stability for the corresponding sequence of S_n-representations. In this paper we prove the Noetherian pro…

The goal of the course was a review of results mainly due to M. Olbrich and the first author. We consider a discrete cocompact subgroup $Γ$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. We relate the group cohomology of $Γ$ with coefficients in the maximal globalization of a representation of $G$ with the multiplicities of unitary re…

In a previous paper by Deroin-Tholozan, the authors construct a map $\mathbfΨ_ρ$ from the Teichmüller space of $S$ to itself and prove that, when $M$ has sectional curvature $\leq -1$, the image of $\mathbfΨ_ρ$ lies (almost always) in the domain $\mathrm{Dom}(ρ)$ of Fuchsian representations stricly dominating $ρ$. Here…

For $4 \nmid L$ and $g$ large, we calculate the integral Picard groups of the moduli spaces of curves and principally polarized abelian varieties with level $L$ structures. In particular, we determine the divisibility properties of the standard line bundles over these moduli spaces and we calculate the second integral …

We give a new proof of Markov's classical theorem relating any two closed braid representations of the same knot or link. The proof is based upon ideas in a forthcoming paper by the authors, "Stabilization in the braid groups". The new proof of the classical Markov theorem is used by Nancy Wrinkle in her forthcoming ma…
