The paper extends a conjecture about Euler characteristics of perverse sheaves on certain Kähler manifolds.

problem The conjecture about Euler characteristics of perverse sheaves on compact aspherical Kähler manifolds.
method The method involves expressing the Euler characteristic as an intersection number involving the characteristic cycle, and using curvature conditions to deduce non-negativity. For the second result, the local system is shown to underlie a complex variation of Hodge structures, leading to the desired inequality from curvature properties of the period map.
result The conjecture holds for compact aspherical Kähler manifolds with non-positive holomorphic bisectional curvature and for projective manifolds with a faithful semi-simple rigid local system.

We consider convex SGD updates with a block-cyclic structure, i.e. where each cycle consists of a small number of blocks, each with many samples from a possibly different, block-specific, distribution. This situation arises, e.g., in Federated Learning where the mobile devices available for updates at different times d…
