Local examples of singular connections with bounded energy.

We derive Verlinde's formula from the fixed point formula for loop groups proved in the companion paper "A fixed point formula for loop group actions", and extend it to compact, connected groups that are not necessarily simply-connected.

New proofs in fixed point theory for manifolds and domains.

Compact Lie group actions with a free point are determined by two vector fields.

We study the level sets of the distance function from a boundary point of a convex set in Euclidean space. We provide a lower bound for the range of connectivity of the level sets, in terms of the critical points of the distance function in the sense of Grove-Shiohama-Gromov-Cheeger.

The study restricts matrix group actions on CAT(0) spaces and uniquely arcwise connected spaces, proving fixed points are inevitable.

Partial connections are (singular) differential systems generalizing classical connections on principal bundles, yielding analogous decompositions for manifolds with nonfree group actions. Connection forms are interpreted as maps determining projections of the tangent bundle onto the partial connection; this approach e…

Study on critical faces convergence in a Poisson point process.

Study higher genus polylogarithms under Riemann surface degenerations.

In dimension 7, we establish a Fredholm theory for a Dirac-type operator associated to a connection with point singularities. There are two applications. $1$. over a closed 7-manifold, under some natural conditions, a $G_{2}-$instanton and its point singularities can still be "seen" when the $G_{2}-$structure is proper…

In this paper we show that on a complete Riemannian manifold of negative curvature and dimension $n>1$ every two points which realize a local maximum for the distance function are connected by at least $2n+1$ geometrically distinct geodesic segments (i.e. length minimizing). Using a similar method, we obtain that in th…

The author proved that if the circle acts symplectically on a compact, connected symplectic manifold $M$ with three fixed points, then $M$ is equivariantly symplectomorphic to some standard action on $\mathbb{CP}^2$. In this paper, we extend the result to a circle action on an almost complex manifold; if the circle act…

This paper explains spectral clustering and its equivalence to PCA, breaking it into fully connected and multi-connected cases.

If we pick $n$ random points uniformly in $[0,1]^d$ and connect each point to its $k-$nearest neighbors, then it is well known that there exists a giant connected component with high probability. We prove that in $[0,1]^d$ it suffices to connect every point to $c_{d,1} \log{\log{n}}$ points chosen randomly among its $…

Let $P$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ with a Cremer point $p$ and no repelling or parabolic periodic bi-accessible points. We show that there are two types of such Julia sets $J_P$. The \emph{red dwarf} $J_P$ are nowhere connected im kleinen and such that the intersection of all impressions of external angles is a cont…

Simply connected surfaces with large constant mean curvature and free boundaries concentrate at critical points of the boundary's mean curvature.

We study some sub-Riemannian objects (such as horizontal connectivity, horizontal connection, horizontal tangent plane, horizontal mean curvature) in hypersurfaces of sub-Riemannian manifolds. We prove that if a connected hypersurface in a contact manifold of dimension more than three is noncharacteristic or with isola…

We embed KKT points in neural networks of different sizes.

A Clifford-Wolf translation of a connected Finsler space is an isometry which moves each point the same distance. A Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous if for any two points $x_1, x_2\in M$ there is a Clifford-Wolf translation $ρ$ such that $ρ(x_1)=x_2$. In this paper, we give a complete classifi…

New homogeneous manifolds with invariant Bismut Ricci flat connections are constructed.

We prove that the Yang-Mills $α$-functional satisfies the Palais-Smale condition. This guarantees the existence of critical points, which are called Yang-Mills $α$-connections. It was shown by Hong, Tian and Yin in [10] (to appear in Comm. Math. Helv.) that as $α\to 1$, a sequence of Yang-Mills $α$-connections converge…

The abstract discusses connections between K-stability, heights, and rational points on Fano varieties.

We present a homogenization theorem for isotropically-distributed point defects, by considering a sequence of manifolds with increasingly dense point defects. The loci of the defects are chosen randomly according to a weighted Poisson point process, making it a continuous version of the first passage percolation model.…

The paper proves ideal triangulations and disk unfolding for singular flat surfaces.

In this article, we study the ergodicity of the geodesic flows on surfaces with no focal points. Let $M$ be a smooth connected and closed surface equipped with a $C^\infty$ Riemannian metric $g$, whose genus $\mathfrak{g} \geq 2$. Suppose that $(M,g)$ has no focal points. We prove that the geodesic flow on the unit tan…

We prove that the deformation space AH(M) of marked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to a fixed compact 3-manifold M with incompressible boundary is locally connected at minimally parabolic points. Moreover, spaces of Kleinian surface groups are locally connected at quasiconformally rigid points. Similar resu…

Solves Deligne-Simpson problem for special connections on Gm.

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…

We provide a complete classification of hexagonal singular 3-web germs in the complex plane, satisfying the following two conditions: 1) the Chern connection remains holomorphic at the singular point, 2) the web admits at least one infinitesimal symmetry at this point. As a by-product, a classification of hexagonal wei…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group acting locally simply transitively on a manifold $M$. By connecting curves in $M$ we mean the orbits of one-parameter subgroups of $G$. To block a pair of points $m_1,m_2\in M$ is to find a finite set $B\subset M\setminus{m_1,m_2}$ such that every connecting curve joining $m_1$ and $m_2…

The main result in this paper is a fixed point formula for equivariant indices of elliptic differential operators, for proper actions by connected semisimple Lie groups on possibly noncompact manifolds, with compact quotients. For compact groups and manifolds, this reduces to the Atiyah-Segal-Singer fixed point formula…

Some general Finsler connections are defined. Emphasis is being made on the Cartan tensor and its derivatives. Vanishing of the hv-curvature tensors of these connections characterizes Landsbergian, Berwaldian as well as Riemannian structures. This view point makes it possible to give a smart representation of connectio…
