This work proves the asymptotic freeness of layerwise Jacobians in MLPs with Haar orthogonal matrices.

A well-conditioned Jacobian spectrum has a vital role in preventing exploding or vanishing gradients and speeding up learning of deep neural networks. Free probability theory helps us to understand and handle the Jacobian spectrum. We rigorously show almost sure asymptotic freeness of layer-wise Jacobians of deep neura…

Proposes auditing for envy-freeness in recommender systems to assess individual preferences.

Random representations of surface groups approach asymptotic freeness in large $n$ limit.

The action of a Lie pseudogroup $G$ on a smooth manifold $M$ induces a prolonged pseudogroup action on the jet spaces $J^n$ of submanifolds of $M$. We prove in this paper that both the local and global freeness of the action of $G$ on $J^n$ persist under prolongation in the jet order $n$. Our results underlie the const…

New formula for rotation number without needing a base point.

The classical Whitney formula relates the number of times an oriented plane curve cuts itself to its rotation number and the index of a base point. In this paper we generalize Whitney's formula to curves on an oriented punctured surface. To define analogs of the rotation number and the index of a base point of a curve,…

Article explores non-freeness of groups generated by two specific matrices, providing counterexamples and sequences.

We prove a version of Topogonov's triangle comparison theorem with surfaces of revolution as model spaces. Given a model surface and a Riemannian manifold with a fixed base point, we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which every geodesic triangle in the manifold with a vertex at the base point has a corres…

In classic fair division problems such as cake cutting and rent division, envy-freeness requires that each individual (weakly) prefer his allocation to anyone else's. On a conceptual level, we argue that envy-freeness also provides a compelling notion of fairness for classification tasks. Our technical focus is the gen…

For collapsing sequences of Riemannian manifolds which satisfy a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound it is shown that there is a sequence of scales such that for a set of good base points of large measure the pointed rescaled manifolds subconverge to a product of a Euclidean and a compact space. All Euclidean factors h…

We obtain a number of results regarding freeness, quasiconvexity and separability for subgroups of Coxeter groups, Artin groups and one-relator groups with torsion.

On a compact symplectic manifold $(X,ω)$ with a prequantum line bundle $(L,\nabla,h)$, we consider the one-parameter family of $ω$-compatible complex structures which converges to the real polarization coming from the Lagrangian torus fibration. There are several researches which show that the holomorphic sections of t…

The paper studies fundamental groups of orbit configuration spaces and proves their torsion-freeness.

Classifies genus-1 holomorphic Lefschetz pencils up to smooth isomorphism.

Paper proves homotopy braid group properties over integers and three strands.

We find a new relation among right-handed Dehn twists in the mapping class group of a $k$-holed torus for $4 \leq k \leq 9$. This relation induces an elliptic Lefschetz pencil structure on the four-manifold \cp $#(9-k)$ \cpb $$ with $k$ base points and twelve singular fibers. By blowing up the base points we get an el…

Given a manifold $M$ and a proper sub-bundle $Δ\subset TM$, we study homotopy properties of the horizontal base-point free loop space $Λ$, i.e. the space of absolutely continuous maps $γ:S^1\to M$ whose velocities are constrained to $Δ$ (for example: legendrian knots in a contact manifold). A key technical ingredient f…

In this article, we study the maximal length of positive Dehn twist factorizations of surface mapping classes. In connection to fundamental questions regarding the uniform topology of symplectic 4-manifolds and Stein fillings of contact 3-manifolds coming from the topology of supporting Lefschetz pencils and open books…

In this article we propose a generalisation of the recent work of Gatheral and Jacquier on explicit arbitrage-free parameterisations of implied volatility surfaces. We also discuss extensively the notion of arbitrage freeness and Roger Lee's moment formula using the recent analysis by Roper. We further exhibit an arbit…

We survey generalisations of the Chang-Skjelbred Lemma for integral coefficients. Moreover, we construct examples of manifolds with actions of tori of rank > 2 whose equivariant cohomology is torsion-free, but not free. This answers a question of Allday's. The "mutants" we construct are obtained from compactified repre…

A new method to derive presentations of skein modules is developed. For the case of homotopy skein modules it will be shown how the topology of a 3-manifold is reflected in the structure of the module. The freeness problem for q-homotopy skein modules is solved, and a natural skein module related to linking numbers is …

We use freeness assumptions of random matrix theory to analyze the dynamical behavior of inference algorithms for probabilistic models with dense coupling matrices in the limit of large systems. For a toy Ising model, we are able to recover previous results such as the property of vanishing effective memories and the a…

An embedding of a graph into $\mathbb{R}^3$ is said to be linear, if any edge of the graph is sent to be a line segment. And we say that an embedding $f$ of a graph $G$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ is free, if $π_1(\mathbb{R}^3-f(G))$ is a free group. It was known that for any complete graph its linear embedding is always free.…

Proves bounds on copyright risk for generative models.

We prove, as our main theorem, the finiteness of topological type of a complete open Riemannian manifold $M$ with a base point $p \in M$ whose radial curvature at $p$ is bounded from below by that of a non-compact model surface of revolution $\tilde{M}$ which admits a finite total curvature and has no pair of cut point…

Suppose a finitely generated group $G$ is hyperbolic relative to $\mathcal P$ a set of proper finitely generated subgroups of $G$. Established results in the literature imply that a "visual" metric on $\partial (G,\mathcal P)$ is "linearly connected" if and only if the boundary $\partial (G,\mathcal P)$ has no cut poin…

New method improves bounds on hyperbolic 3-manifold volumes and homology dimensions.

We prove a freeness theorem for low-rank subgroups of one-relator groups. Let $F$ be a free group, and let $w\in F$ be a non-primitive element. The primitivity rank of $w$, $π(w)$, is the smallest rank of a subgroup of $F$ containing $w$ as an imprimitive element. Then any subgroup of the one-relator group $G=F/\langle…

Developed a random walk analog of geodesic flow on hyperbolic groups.

Paper develops invariants for spherical curves using chord diagrams.

We discuss two kinds of functorial prolongations of the functional bundle of all smooth maps between the fibers over the same base point of two fibered manifolds over the same base. We study the prolongation of vector fields in both cases and we prove that the bracket is preserved. Our proof is based on several new res…

Proves curvature bounds for close to 1 Perelman's reduced volume.

We prove a theorem relating the automorphism group of a Cartan geometry to the group on which the geometry is modeled: a component of the adjoint representation of the first embeds in the adjoint representation of the second. Consequences of the theorem include general bounds on the rank and nilpotence degree of an aut…

We give a complete proof of a propagation theorem of multiplicity-free property from fibers to spaces of global sections for holomorphic vector bundles. The propagation theorem is formalised in three ways, aiming for producing various multiplicity-free theorems in representation theory for both finite and infinite dime…

In this paper, we study the topology of complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with asymptotically nonnegative Ricci curvature. We show that a complete noncompact manifold with asymptoticaly nonnegative Ricci curvature and sectional curvature decay at most quadratically is diffeomorphic to a Euclidean n-space R^n und…

In this paper, we study the collapsing behaviour of negative Kähler-Einstein metrics along degenerations of canonical polarized manifolds. We prove that for a toroidal degeneration of canonical polarized manifolds with the total space $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial, the Kähler-Einstein metrics on fibers collapse to a lower dim…

Ray Singer torsion is a numerical invariant associated with a compact Riemannian manifold equipped with a flat bundle and a Hermitian structure on this bundle. In this note we show how one can remove the dependence on the Riemannian metric and on the Hermitian structure with the help of a base point and of an Euler str…
