Paper proposes angular loss for better face recognition and object classification.

DL/FBF improves GPSR solutions by selecting compact, generalising expressions.

Thirty years after the birth of foliations in the 1950's, André Haefliger has introduced a special property satisfied by holonomy pseudogroups of foliations on compact manifolds, called compact generation. Up to now, this is the only general property known about holonomy on compact manifolds. In this article, we give a…

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also prove a related structure theorem for locally compact contractive local groups whic…

New geometric object for polynomials simplifies complex data.

In the current article our primary objects of study are compact complex submanifolds of quotient manifolds of irreducible bounded symmetric domains by torsion free discrete lattices of automorphisms. We are interested in the characterization of the totally geodesic submanifolds among compact splitting complex submanifo…

A new method for faster multi-objective optimization by evaluating objectives separately.

In their study of fundamental groups of one-dimensional path-connected compact metric spaces, Cannon and Conner have asked: Is there a tree-like object that might be considered the topological Cayley graph? We answer this question in the positive and provide a combinatorial description of such an object.

Deep neural networks have achieved impressive performance in many applications but their large number of parameters lead to significant computational and storage overheads. Several recent works attempt to mitigate these overheads by designing compact networks using pruning of connections. However, we observe that most …

Exact diameter found for some Riemann surfaces.

We present an explicit construction of the basic bundle gerbes with connection over all connected compact simple Lie groups. These are geometric objects that appear naturally in the Lagrangian approach to the WZW conformal field theories. Our work extends the recent construction of E. Meinrenken \cite{Meinr} restricted…

In X-ray binary star systems consisting of a compact object that accretes material from an orbiting secondary star, there is no straightforward means to decide if the compact object is a black hole or a neutron star. To assist this classification, we develop a Bayesian statistical model that makes use of the fact that …

The classical Brody's theorem asserts the equivalence between two notions of hyperbolicity for compact complex spaces, one named after Kobayashi and one expressed in terms of lack of non constant holomorphic entire functions (compactness is only used to prove the harder implication). We extend this theorem to Deligne-M…

We investigate variations of Brieskorn lattices over non-compact parameter spaces, and discuss the corresponding limit objects on the boundary divisor. We study the associated variation of twistors and the corresponding limit mixed twistor structures. We construct a compact classifying space for regular singular Briesk…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of maximal actions of compact tori on smooth manifolds and study compact connected complex manifolds equipped with maximal actions of compact tori. We give a complete classification of such manifolds, in terms of combinatorial objects, which are triples $(Δ, \mathfrak{h}, G)$ of n…

Technological development aims to produce generations of increasingly efficient robots able to perform complex tasks. This requires considerable efforts, from the scientific community, to find new algorithms that solve computer vision problems, such as object recognition. The diffusion of RGB-D cameras directed the stu…

Explains examples of Lagrangian flow with circle symmetry.

The theory of Hitchin systems is something like a "global theory of Lie groups", where one works over a Riemann surface rather than just at a point. We'll describe how one can take this analogy a few steps further by attempting to make precise the class of rich geometric objects that appear in this story (including the…

Though Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have surpassed human-level performance on tasks such as object classification and face verification, they can easily be fooled by adversarial attacks. These attacks add a small perturbation to the input image that causes the network to misclassify the sample. In this paper, w…

Geometric approach to majorizing measures for polyhedra and general compact objects.

Let G be a compact Lie group acting on a smooth manifold M. In this paper, we consider Meinrenken's G-equivariant bundle gerbe connections on M as objects in a 2-groupoid. We prove this 2-category is equivalent to the 2-groupoid of gerbe connections on the differential quotient stack associated to M, and isomorphism cl…

Study homology manifolds using spectral sheaves and spectral six functor formalism.

The Loch Ness Monster admits many regular dessins d'enfants and different holomorphic structures.

New polystability theory connects Calabi-Yau varieties to gravitational instantons.

Motivated by the Atiyah-Floer conjecture, we consider $SO(3)$ Santi-self-dual instantons on the product of the real line and a three-manifold with cylindrical end. We prove a Gromov-Uhlenbeck type compactness theorem, namely, any sequence of such instantons with uniform energy bound has a subsequence converging to a ty…

We present a two-stage approach for learning dictionaries for object classification tasks based on the principle of information maximization. The proposed method seeks a dictionary that is compact, discriminative, and generative. In the first stage, dictionary atoms are selected from an initial dictionary by maximizing…

The paper studies HYM connections on stable vector bundles over Kähler manifolds.

Liouville domains have become central objects in symplectic and contact geometry. However, the auxiliary data they involve --- namely, Liouville forms --- and the non-compactness of their completions generate some inconvenience. The notion of ideal Liouville domains is designed to suppress these awkward aspects and to …

The object of study of this article is compact surfaces in the three-dimensional hyperbolic space with a positive-definite second fundamental form. It is shown that several conditions on the Gaussian curvature of the second fundamental form can be satisfied only by extrinsic spheres.

In the following article we study the limiting properties of the Yang-Mills flow associated to a holomorphic vector bundle E over an arbitrary compact Kähler manifold (X,ω). In particular we show that the flow is determined at infinity by the holomorphic structure of E. Namely, if we fix an integrable unitary reference…

The paper explores low-dimensional solenoidal manifolds and their properties.

Given an elliptic action of a compact Lie group $G$ on a co-oriented contact manifold $(M,E)$ one obtains two naturally associated objects: A $G$-transversally elliptic operator $\dirac$, and an equivariant differential form with generalised coefficients $\mathcal{J}(E,X)$ defined in terms of a choice of contact form o…

DFFL tackles federated learning with heterogeneous objectives and constraints.

Simplified proof of Wang's theorem on complex homogeneous manifolds.

The classical Cartan's structural equations show in a compact way the relation between a connection and its curvature, and reveals their geometric interpretation in terms of moving frames. In order to study the mathematical properties of singularities, we need to study the geometry of manifolds endowed on the tangent b…

Let $X$ be a compact real analytic manifold, and let $T^*X$ be its cotangent bundle. Let $Sh(X)$ be the triangulated dg category of bounded, constructible complexes of sheaves on $X$. In this paper, we develop a Fukaya $A_\infty$-category $Fuk(T^*X)$ whose objects are exact, not necessarily compact Lagrangian branes in…

In this paper we provide a \emph{global} investigation of the geometry of parallelizable manifolds (or absolute parallelism geometry) frequently used for application. We discuss the different linear connections and curvature tensors from a global point of view. We give an existence and uniqueness theorem for a remarkab…

Classifies Higgs and co-Higgs bundles on symmetric spaces.

We present several principal bundles of embeddings of compact manifolds (with or without boundary) whose base manifolds are nonlinear Grassmannians. We study their infinite dimensional differential manifold structure in the Fréchet category. This study is motivated by the occurrence of such objects in the geometric Lag…

Deep generative architectures provide a way to model not only images but also complex, 3-dimensional objects, such as point clouds. In this work, we present a novel method to obtain meaningful representations of 3D shapes that can be used for challenging tasks including 3D points generation, reconstruction, compression…

Functor connects sheaf categories of Legendrian submanifolds.

Algorithm identifies Pareto optimal designs efficiently for noisy, multi-objective functions.

This paper shows how Hodge's theory of harmonic $p$-sets (a discrete version of his theory of harmonic forms) allows a new approach to be taken to the problem of providing a combinatorial definition of the Pontrjagin classes of a compact manifold. This approach is then related to the author's definition of flag vectors…

This paper describes the connection between scattering matrices on conformally compact asymptotically Einstein manifolds and conformally invariant objects on their boundaries at infinity. The conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian arise as residues of the scattering matrix and Branson's Q-curvature in even dimen…
