Estimates dependent parameters using Markovian dependence with shrinkage.

A condition for the existence of false gauge field copies in terms of the Lefschetz number of a certain differential operator is presented.

Tumors often contain multiple subpopulations of cancerous cells defined by distinct somatic mutations. We describe a new method, PhyloWGS, that can be applied to WGS data from one or more tumor samples to reconstruct complete genotypes of these subpopulations based on variant allele frequencies (VAFs) of point mutation…

Shapes can roll downhill following any curve, but often return to initial orientation after crossing multiple copies.

New algorithms for fair item allocation with limited copies.

A fibration of ${\mathbb R}^n$ by oriented copies of ${\mathbb R}^p$ is called skew if no two fibers intersect nor contain parallel directions. Conditions on $p$ and $n$ for the existence of such a fibration were given by Ovsienko and Tabachnikov. A classification of smooth fibrations of ${\mathbb R}^3$ by skew oriente…

Paper analyzes gradient descent with noisy data copies for linear regression, showing regularization and acceleration effects.

We show that the maximal orbit dimension of a simultaneous Lie group action on n copies of a manifold does not pseudo-stabilize when n increases. We also show that if a Lie group action is (locally) effective on subsets of a manifold, then the induced Cartesian action is locally free on an open subset of a sufficiently…

We show that the algebraic intersection number of Scott and Swarup for splittings of free groups coincides with the geometric intersection number for the sphere complex of the connected sum of copies of $S^2\times S^1$.

The fundamental group of the Menger universal curve is uncountable and not free, although all of its finitely generated subgroups are free. It contains an isomorphic copy of the fundamental group of every one-dimensional separable metric space and an isomorphic copy of the fundamental group of every planar Peano contin…

We study model-agnostic copies of machine learning classifiers. We develop the theory behind the problem of copying, highlighting its differences with that of learning, and propose a framework to copy the functionality of any classifier using no prior knowledge of its parameters or training data distribution. We identi…

A Bayesian Boolean Matrix Factorization for cancer genomics

By gluing together copies of an all-right angled Coxeter polytope a number of open hyperbolic 6-manifolds with Euler characteristic -1 are constructed. They are the first known examples of hyperbolic 6-manifolds having the smallest possible volume.

This is a PhD thesis about low dimensional topology, in particular knot thory in 3-manifolds also different from the 3-sphere, topological applications of quantum invariants, and Turaev's shadows. There is an introduction and a survey for these topics. The thesis uses skein theory and focues on the connected sum of cop…

This paper introduces DPI, a new metric to assess data-copying risk in tabular data.

In this article we consider outer Galois actions on a free profinite group of rank two, induced by the étale fundamental group of a projective line minus three points or of a pointed elliptic curve over a number field. Under mild technical assumptions their respective images uniquely determine the curves and the number…

An obstruction theory for representing homotopy classes of surfaces in 4-manifolds by immersions with pairwise disjoint images is developed, using the theory of non-repeating Whitney towers. The accompanying higher-order intersection invariants provide a geometric generalization of Milnor's link-homotopy invariants, an…

The paper proposes sampling strategies for classifier copies.

In many real-world systems, information can be transmitted in two qualitatively different ways: by copying or by transformation. Copying occurs when messages are transmitted without modification, e.g., when an offspring receives an unaltered copy of a gene from its parent. Transformation occurs when messages are modifi…

The Morse-Novikov number MN(L) of a smooth link L in the three-dimensional sphere is by definition the minimal possible number of critical points of a regular circle-valued Morse function on the link complement (the term regular means that the Morse function must have nice behaviour in a tubular neighbourhood of L). No…

Estimates how many times a star appears due to gravitational lensing.

Every lens space has a locally flat embedding in a connected sum of 8 copies of the complex projective plane and a smooth embedding in n copies of the complex projective plane for some positive integer n. We show that there is no n such that every lens space smoothly embeds in n copies of the complex projective plane.

New invariant for classifying 4-manifolds up to cobordism.

A new generalization of Grassmannians to supergeometry, different from the well known supergrassmannian, is introduced. These are constructed by gluing a finite number of copies of a ν\- domain, i.e. a superdomain with an odd involution, say ν\, on their structure sheaf considered as a sheaf of C^\infty_{R^m}-modules.

Paper proposes a neural network for generating better questions from text.

New system resists meme coin copy trading bots.

In this paper we show how to realize all knot (and link) types as C^{2} smooth curves of constant curvature. Our proof is constructive: we build the knots with copies of a fixed finite number of "building blocks" that are particular segments of helices and circles. We use these building blocks to construct all closed b…

We prove that for every natural number k there are simply connected topological four-manifolds which have at leat k distinct smooth structures supporting Einstein metrics, and also have infinitely many distinct smooth structures not supporting Einstein metrics. Moreover, all these smooth structures become diffeomorphic…

GMC benchmark isolates retrieval in Transformers, revealing max-margin alignment.

Several models of stock trading [P. Bak et al, Physica A {\bf 246}, 430 (1997)] are analyzed in analogy with one-dimensional, two-species reaction-diffusion-branching processes. Using heuristic and scaling arguments, we show that the short-time market price variation is subdiffusive with a Hurst exponent $H=1/4$. Biase…

Bayesian theory explains abrupt emergence of copy subcircuit in attention.

Under-parameterized networks can either copy or average teacher weights, leading to universal optimal solutions.

Starting from a divide, i.e. a generic immersion of finitely many copies of the interval [0,1] in the disk, we construct a classical link in the 3-sphere. We prove that the link's complement fibers over the circle, if the divide is connected. Moreover, we compute the monodromy diffeomorphism from the combinatorics of t…

Many optimization methods for generating black-box adversarial examples have been proposed, but the aspect of initializing said optimizers has not been considered in much detail. We show that the choice of starting points is indeed crucial, and that the performance of state-of-the-art attacks depends on it. First, we d…

Recently, Freedman [arXiv:2301.00295] introduced the idea of packing a maximal number of links into a bounded region subject to geometric constraints, and produced upper bounds on the packing number in some cases, while commenting that these bounds seemed far too large. We show that the smallest of these "extravagantly…

This is the beginning of an obstruction theory for deciding whether a map f:S^2 --> X^4 is homotopic to a topologically flat embedding, in the presence of fundamental group and in the absence of dual spheres. The first obstruction is Wall's self-intersection number mu(f) which tells the whole story in higher dimensions…

Deep neural networks have enabled progress in a wide variety of applications. Growing the size of the neural network typically results in improved accuracy. As model sizes grow, the memory and compute requirements for training these models also increases. We introduce a technique to train deep neural networks using hal…

Let $K, K'$ be ribbon knottings of $n$-spheres with $1$-handles in $S^{n+2}$, $n\geq 2$. We show that if the knot quandles of these knots are isomorphic, then the ribbon knottings are stably equivalent, in the sense of Nakanishi and Nakagawa, after taking a finite number of connected sums with trivially embedded copies…

Many traditional methods for identifying changepoints can struggle in the presence of outliers, or when the noise is heavy-tailed. Often they will infer additional changepoints in order to fit the outliers. To overcome this problem, data often needs to be pre-processed to remove outliers, though this is difficult for a…

Given a 4-manifold X and an imbedding of T^{2} x B^2 into X, we describe an algorithm X --> X_{p,q} for drawing the handlebody of the 4-manifold obtained from X by (p,q)-logarithmic transforms along the parallel tori. By using this algorithm, we obtain a simple handle picture of the Dolgachev surface E(1)_{p,q}, from t…

The paper introduces a new method to improve model generalization by routing model copies through permutations.

New Sasaki structures identified by Hodge numbers in odd dimensions.

For positive integers $p$ and $q$ let $G:=\textrm{PSO}(p,q)$ be the projective indefinite special-orthogonal group of signature $(p,q)$. We study counting problems in the Riemannian symmetric space $X_G$ of $G$ and in the pseudo-Riemannian hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{p,q-1}$. Let $S\subset X_G$ be a totally geodesic …

The aim of this paper is to construct infinitely many families of Einstein metrics on the connected sums of arbitrary number of copies of $S^2\times S^3$. We realize these 5-manifolds as total spaces of Seifert bundles over Del Pezzo orbifolds. A Kähler--Einstein metric on the Del Pezzo orbifold is then lifted to an Ei…
