The paper explores uniqueness and non-uniqueness of spacetime extensions in general relativity.

Extends Seeley's theorem for Bastiani's differential calculus in infinite dimensions.

A taut foliation of a hyperbolic 3-manifold has the continuous extension property for leaves in almost every direction; that is, for each leaf of the universal cover of the foliation and almost every geodesic ray in the leaf, the limit of the ray in the universal cover of the 3-manifold is a well-defined point in the i…

The paper proves that certain FLRW spacetimes cannot be extended past the big bang.

In this paper, we consider the problem of black box continuous submodular maximization where we only have access to the function values and no information about the derivatives is provided. For a monotone and continuous DR-submodular function, and subject to a bounded convex body constraint, we propose Black-box Contin…

Study proves finiteness for distance functions on curved surfaces with controlled curvature.

Motivated by positive energy representations, we classify those continuous central extensions of the compactly supported gauge Lie algebra that are covariant under a 1-parameter group of transformations of the base manifold.

We continue our discussion from part I.

A continuous cohomology theory for topological quandles is introduced, and compared to the algebraic theories. Extensions of topological quandles are studied with respect to continuous 2-cocycles, and used to show the differences in second cohomology groups for specific topological quandles. A method of computing the c…

We address the problem of combining sequence models of symbolic music with user defined constraints. For typical models this is non-trivial as only the conditional distribution of each symbol given the earlier symbols is available, while the constraints correspond to arbitrary times. Previously this has been addressed …

In the context of the Bartnik mass, there are two fundamentally different notions of an extension of some compact Riemannian manifold $(Ω,γ)$ with boundary. In one case, the extension is taken to be a manifold without boundary in which $(Ω,γ)$ embeds isometrically, and in the other case the extension is taken to be a m…

PSRL extension for continuing environments reduces regret.

Geodesically convex functions are continuous on Riemannian manifolds.

Accelerated gradient methods play a central role in optimization, achieving optimal rates in many settings. While many generalizations and extensions of Nesterov's original acceleration method have been proposed, it is not yet clear what is the natural scope of the acceleration concept. In this paper, we study accelera…

Continual learning is hard for AI, leading to forgetting old knowledge.

RSAC improves lightweight continuous learning efficiency.

The Brouwer fixed point theorem says that any continuous function from disc to itself has a fixed point. By using simple geometrical technique we have generalized the result in manifold and proved that any continuous function on the boundary of a bounded convex domain of a $2$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with a pol…

Unique continuation results are proved for metrics with prescribed Ricci curvature in the setting of bounded metrics on compact manifolds with boundary, and in the setting of complete, conformally compact metrics. Related to this issue, an isometry extension property is proved: continuous groups of isometries at confor…

We prove continuity of a controlled SDE solution in Skorokhod's $M_1$ and $J_1$ topologies and also uniformly, in probability, as a non-linear functional of the control strategy. The functional comes from a finance problem to model price impact of a large investor in an illiquid market. We show that $M_1$-continuity is…

We provide an example of a zero-dimensional compact metric space $X$ and its closed subspace $A$ such that there is no continuous linear extension operator for the Lipschitz pseudometrics on $A$ to the Lipschitz pseudometrics on $X$. The construction is based on results of A. Brudnyi and Yu. Brudnyi concerning linear e…

Generalizes PCA and ICA for continuous-time signals using neural networks.

A classical result in Riemannian geometry states that the absolutely continuous curves into a (finite-dimensional) Riemannian manifold form an infinite-dimensional manifold. In the present paper this construction and related results are generalised to absolutely continuous curves with values in a strong Riemannian mani…

Generalizing Riemannian theorems of Anderson-Herzlich and Biquard, we show that two $(n+1)$-dimensional stationary vacuum space-times (possibly with cosmological constant $Λ\in \R$) that coincide up to order one along a timelike hypersurface $\mycal T$ are isometric in a neighbourhood of $\mycal T$. We further prove th…

Defines plurisubharmonic metrics on hybrid spaces and proves their canonical extensions.

The maximal analytic Schwarzschild spacetime is manifestly inextendible as a Lorentzian manifold with a twice continuously differentiable metric. In this paper, we prove the stronger statement that it is even inextendible as a Lorentzian manifold with a continuous metric. To capture the obstruction to continuous extens…

Bilevel Continual Learning improves continual learning by transferring knowledge effectively.

The definition of the grafting operation for quasifuchsian groups is extended by Bromberg to all $b$-groups. Although the grafting maps are not necessarily continuous at boundary groups, in this paper, we show that the grafting maps take every "standard" convergent sequence to a convergent sequence. As a consequence of…

We present the Lax pair formalism for certain extension of the continuous limit of the classical Toda lattice hierarchy, provide a well defined notion of tau function for its solutions, and give an explicit formulation of the relationship between the $CP^1$ topological sigma model and the extended Toda hierarchy. We al…

Given a Moebius homeomorphism $f : \partial X \to \partial Y$ between boundaries of proper, geodesically complete CAT(-1) spaces $X,Y$, we describe an extension $\hat{f} : X \to Y$ of $f$, called the circumcenter map of $f$, which is constructed using circumcenters of expanding sets. The extension $\hat{f}$ is shown to…

A core novelty of Alpha Zero is the interleaving of tree search and deep learning, which has proven very successful in board games like Chess, Shogi and Go. These games have a discrete action space. However, many real-world reinforcement learning domains have continuous action spaces, for example in robotic control, na…

While state-of-the-art kernels for graphs with discrete labels scale well to graphs with thousands of nodes, the few existing kernels for graphs with continuous attributes, unfortunately, do not scale well. To overcome this limitation, we present hash graph kernels, a general framework to derive kernels for graphs with…

A Budgeted Markov Decision Process (BMDP) is an extension of a Markov Decision Process to critical applications requiring safety constraints. It relies on a notion of risk implemented in the shape of a cost signal constrained to lie below an - adjustable - threshold. So far, BMDPs could only be solved in the case of fi…

In this article we study the validity of the Whitney $C^1$ extension property for horizontal curves in sub-Riemannian manifolds endowed with 1-jets that satisfy a first-order Taylor expansion compatibility condition. We first consider the equiregular case, where we show that the extension property holds true whenever a…

Given a monotone convex function on the space of essentially bounded random variables with the Lebesgue property (order continuity), we consider its extension preserving the Lebesgue property to as big solid vector space of random variables as possible. We show that there exists a maximum such extension, with explicit …

Extends holomorphic functions on complex manifolds to larger spaces.

These course note first provide an introduction to secondary characteristic classes and differential cohomology. They continue with a presentation of a stable homotopy theoretic approach to the theory of differential extensions of generalized cohomology theories including products and Umkehr maps.

We propose a novel score-based approach to learning a directed acyclic graph (DAG) from observational data. We adapt a recently proposed continuous constrained optimization formulation to allow for nonlinear relationships between variables using neural networks. This extension allows to model complex interactions while…

Let $C$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ (not necessarily convex), $f:C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function, and $G:C\to\mathbb{R}^n$ be a uniformly continuous function, with modulus of continuity $ω$. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition on $f$, $G$ for the existence of a convex function $F\in C^{1, ω}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ …

This is both an expository and research paper where we advocate a systematic study of continuous analogues of finite partially ordered sets, convex polytopes, oriented matroids, arrangements of subspaces, finite simplicial complexes, and other combinatorial structures. Among the illustrative examples are an Euler formu…
