We construct link invariants using the $D_{2n}$ subfactor planar algebras, and use these to prove new identities relating certain specializations of colored Jones polynomials to specializations of other quantum knot polynomials. These identities can also be explained by coincidences between small modular categories inv…

A single algebraic identity unifies information-theoretic variational results.

We calculate the weak homotopy type of the group of contactomorphisms of the three-sphere which coincide with the identity on (a neighborhood of) an overtwisted disk.

The tail of the colored Jones polynomial of an alternating link is a $q$-series invariant whose first $n$ terms coincide with the first $n$ terms of the $n$-th colored Jones polynomial. Recently, it has been shown that the tail of the colored Jones polynomial of torus knots give rise to Ramanujan type identities. In th…

The identity map of certain Einstein manifolds is stable in both energy and bienergy.

We explore a Pluecker-type relation which occurs naturally in the study of maximally supersymmetric solutions of certain supergravity theories. This relation generalises at the same time the classical Pluecker relation and the Jacobi identity for a metric Lie algebra and coincides with the Jacobi identity of a metric n…

Based on operator identities and their formal adjoints, we derive two symmetry operators for the linearized Einstein operator on vacuum backgrounds of Petrov type D and in particular the Kerr spacetime. One of them is of differential order four and coincides with a result of Cohen and Kegeles. The other one is a new op…

Market portfolio decomposed into body and tail legs

Study decomposes market portfolio into body and tail legs, revealing systematic differences.

We determine all the normal subgroups of the group of C^r diffeomorphisms of R^n, r = 1,2,...,infinity, except when r=n+1 or n=4, and also of the group of homeomorphisms of R^n (r=0). We also study the group A_0 of diffeomorphisms of an open manifold M that are isotopic to the identity. If M is the interior of a compac…

In-plane drill rotations are impossible for smooth shells.

Let $M$ be a compact connected pseudo-Riemannian manifold on which a solvable connected Lie group $G$ of isometries acts transitively. We show that $G$ acts almost freely on $M$ and that the metric on $M$ is induced by a bi-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric on $G$. Furthermore, we show that the identity component of t…

For a local system on a compact hyperbolic threefold, under a cohomological assumption, we will show that the order of its twisted Alexander polynomial and of the Ruelle L function at $s=0$ coincide. Moreover we will show that their leading constant are also identical. These results may be considered as a solution of a…

In this paper we discuss curvature tensors in the context of Absolute Parallelism geometry. Different curvature tensors are expressed in a compact form in terms of the torsion tensor of the canonical connection. Using the Bianchi identities some other identities are derived from the expressions obtained. These identiti…

We discuss two different in general natural approaches to the ideal closure and ideal boundary of Busemann nonpositively curved metric space. It is shown that the identity map of the space admits surjective continuation from its coarse ideal closure to the weak one. We consider some situations when these closures coinc…

Study on volume growth of horospheres in specific Heintze groups.

We introduce a family of matrix dilogarithms, which are automorphisms of C^N tensor C^N, N being any odd positive integer, associated to hyperbolic ideal tetrahedra equipped with an additional decoration. The matrix dilogarithms satisfy fundamental five-term identities that correspond to decorated versions of the 2 -->…

The Trouvé group $\mathcal G_{\mathcal A}$ from image analysis consists of the flows at a fixed time of all time-dependent vectors fields of a given regularity $\mathcal A(\mathbb R^d,\mathbb R^d)$. For a multitude of regularity classes $\mathcal A$, we prove that the Trouvé group $\mathcal G_{\mathcal A}$ coincides wi…

The interior polynomial is an invariant of bipartite graphs, and a part of the HOMFLY polynomial of a special alternating link coincides with the interior polynomial of the Seifert graph of the link. We extend the interior polynomial to signed bipartite graphs, and we show that, in the planar case, it is equal to a par…

Cubic fourfolds have K-stability and admit Kähler-Einstein metrics.

Stationary polyhedral varifolds minimize area in two senses.

We generalize the "hamiltonian topology" on hamiltonian isotopies to an intrinsic "symplectic topology" on the space of symplectic isotopies. We use it to define the group $SSympeo(M,ω)$ of strong symplectic homeomorphisms, which generalizes the group $Hameo(M,ω)$ of hamiltonian homeomorphisms introduced by Oh and Mull…

The classification of the holonomy algebras of Lorentzian manifolds can be reduced to the classification of irreducible subalgebras $\mathfrak{h}\subset\mathfrak{so}(n)$ that are spanned by the images of linear maps from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $\mathfrak{h}$ satisfying an identity similar to the Bianchi one. T. Leistner fou…

For a Poisson manifold $M$ we develop systematic methods to compute its Picard group $Pic(M)$, i.e., its group of self Morita equivalences. We establish a precise relationship between $Pic(M)$ and the group of gauge transformations up to Poisson diffeomorphisms showing, in particular, that their connected components of…

Mazur, Kapranov, Reznikov, and others developed ``Arithmetic Topology,'' a theory describing some surprising analogies between 3-dimensional topology and number theory, which can be summarized by saying that knots are like prime numbers. We extend their work by proving several formulas concerning branched coverings of …

We prove the K-moduli space of cubic threefolds is identical to their GIT moduli. More precisely, the K-(semi,poly)-stability of cubic threefolds coincide to the corresponding GIT stabilities, which could be explicitly calculated. In particular, this implies that all smooth cubic threefolds admit Kähler-Einstein metric…

We establish minimax optimal rates of convergence for estimation in a high dimensional additive model assuming that it is approximately sparse. Our results reveal an interesting phase transition behavior universal to this class of high dimensional problems. In the {\it sparse regime} when the components are sufficientl…

For a subRiemannian manifold and a given Riemannian extension of the metric, we define a canonical global connection. This connection coincides with both the Levi-Civita connection on Riemannian manifolds and the Tanaka-Webster connection on strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds. We define a notion of normality generalizi…

EC method calibrates neural networks by matching average confidence to correct label proportion.

Develops a novel ML smoothing method for incomplete data in state-space models.

Given a principal $G$-bundle $P \to M$ and two $C^1$ curves in $M$ with coinciding endpoints, we say that the two curves are holonomically equivalent if the parallel transport along them is identical for any smooth connection on $P$. The main result in this paper is that if $G$ is semi-simple, then the two curves are h…

We provide new insight into the analysis of N-body problems by studying a compactification $M_N$ of $\mathbb{R}^{3N}$ that is compatible with the analytic properties of the $N$-body Hamiltonian $H_N$. We show that our compactification coincides with the compactification introduced by Vasy using blow-ups in order to stu…

The paper classifies 3-manifold groups with specific torsion elements.

We give a construction to remove coincidence points of continuous maps on graphs (1-complexes) by changing the maps by homotopies. When the codomain is not homeomorphic to the circle, we show that any pair of maps can be changed by homotopies to be coincidence free. This means that there can be no nontrivial coincidenc…

We prove that two countable locally finite-by-abelian groups G,H endowed with proper left-invariant metrics are coarsely equivalent if and only if their asymptotic dimensions coincide and the groups are either both finitely-generated or both are infinitely generated. On the other hand, we show that each countable group…

Update rules for learning in dynamic time warping spaces are based on optimal warping paths between parameter and input time series. In general, optimal warping paths are not unique resulting in adverse effects in theory and practice. Under the assumption of squared error local costs, we show that no two warping paths …

New tensors reveal full curvature structure from Riemann tensor.

The k-th Fitting ideal of the Alexander invariant B of an arrangement A of n complex hyperplanes defines a characteristic subvariety, V_k(A), of the complex algebraic n-torus. In the combinatorially determined case where B decomposes as a direct sum of local Alexander invariants, we obtain a complete description of V_k…

The fixed point index of topological fixed point theory is a well studied integer-valued algebraic invariant of a mapping which can be characterized by a small set of axioms. The coincidence index is an extension of the concept to topological (Nielsen) coincidence theory. We demonstrate that three natural axioms are su…

The paper connects geodesic flows and higher-dimensional Reidemeister torsion for hyperbolic orbifolds.

Jones polynomial coincidences explored for rational knots.

We consider sufficient conditions of local removability of coincidences of maps f,g:N->M, where M,N are manifolds with dimensions dimN>dimM. The coincidence index is the only obstruction to the removability for maps with fibers either acyclic or homeomorphic to spheres of certain dimensions. We also address the normali…

We give a homotopy invariant construction of the Reidemeister trace for the coincidence of two maps between closed manifolds of not necessarily the same dimensions. It is realized as a homology class of the homotopy equalizer, which coincides with the Hurewicz image of Koschorke's stabilized bordism invariant. To defin…
