Fourth-order problem on half-ball with corner behavior.

In this work, we conducted a study on building an automated testing system for deep learning systems based on differential behavior criteria. The automated testing goals were achieved by jointly optimizing two objective functions: maximizing differential behaviors from models under testing and maximizing neuron coverag…

A machine learning environment for detecting autonomous vehicle corner cases.

Study on manifolds with kinks and Gaussian kernel behavior.

Generalizes complex manifolds to manifolds with corners and generalized corners.

Corners can be identified by a drum's sound spectrum.

In conventional Differential Geometry one studies manifolds, locally modelled on ${\mathbb R}^n$, manifolds with boundary, locally modelled on $[0,\infty)\times{\mathbb R}^{n-1}$, and manifolds with corners, locally modelled on $[0,\infty)^k\times{\mathbb R}^{n-k}$. They form categories ${\bf Man}\subset{\bf Man^b}\sub…

In 1996, Kirk Lancaster and David Siegel investigated the existence and behavior of radial limits at a corner of the boundary of the domain of solutions of capillary and other prescribed mean curvature problems with contact angle boundary data. In Theorem 3, they provide an example of a capillary surface in a unit disk…

Proves spacetime positive mass theorem with corners.

Bordered Floer homology assigns invariants to 3-manifolds with boundary, such that the Heegaard Floer homology of a closed 3-manifold, split into two pieces, can be recovered as a tensor product of the bordered invariants of the pieces. We construct cornered Floer homology invariants of 3-manifolds with codimension-2 c…

Manifolds with boundary and with corners form categories ${\bf Man}\subset{\bf Man^b}\subset{\bf Man^c}$. A manifold with corners $X$ has two notions of tangent bundle: the tangent bundle $TX$, and the b-tangent bundle ${}^bTX$. The usual definition of smooth structure uses $TX$, as $f:X\to\mathbb{R}$ is defined to be …

Defines products for fibered corners manifolds, generalizing resolutions.

The study defines differential forms and currents on orbifolds with corners.

Extends 4D cornered skein theory to surfaces, proving gluing formulas.

In this paper, we aim to provide a notion of "relative objects", i.e. objects equipped with some sort of subobjects, in differential topology. In spite of active researches relating them, e.g. knot theory or the theory of manifolds with corners, there seem to be poor general notions to deal with them. Moreover, we want…

Solves relative isoperimetric problem on polygonal domains, focusing on corners.

Paper proves corner connection tiles can represent knots with fewer tiles.

We provide two examples of spectral analysis techniques of Schroedinger operators applied to geometric Laplacians. In particular we show how to adapt the method of analytic dilation to Laplacians on complete manifolds with corners of codimension 2 finding the absence of singular continuous spectrum for these operators,…

Extends corner structure study to general case, constructs normal Trans-Sasakian structures.

We introduce the notions of the caustic-equivalence and the weak caustic-equivalence relations of reticular Lagrangian maps in order to give a generic classification of caustics on a corner. We give the figures of all generic caustics on a corner in a smooth manifold of dimension 2 and 3.

We construct a smooth Lie group structure on the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of a compact analytic manifold with corners. This generalises the known analogous results in the situation where the real analytic manifold has no corners. Additionally our approach uses a different construction.

This paper considers asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with a finite boundary intersecting the usual infinite boundary -- cornered asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds -- and proves a theorem of Cartan-Hadamard type near infinity for the normal exponential map on the finite boundary. As a main application, a normal fo…

Differential forms and symmetric tensors show contrasting singular behaviors in a specific geometric setting.

We study metrics with positive scalar curvatures in domains with corners and suggest possible extensions of the concept of positive scalar curvature to singular spaces.

In this paper we present another notion of a smooth manifold with corners and relate it to the commonly used concept in the literature. Afterwards we introduce complex manifolds with corners and show that if $M$ is a compact (respectively complex) manifold with corners and $K$ is a smooth (respectively complex) Lie gro…

Proves Gromov's conjecture and answers Stoker's polyhedron conjecture.

If $X$ is a manifold then the set $C^\infty(X)$ of smooth functions $f:X\to\mathbb R$ is a $C^\infty$-ring, a rich algebraic structure with many operations. $C^\infty$-schemes are schemes over $C^\infty$-rings, a way of using Algebro-Geometric techniques in Differential Geometry. They include smooth manifolds, but also…

M-theory can be defined on closed manifolds as well as on manifolds with boundary. As an extension, we show that manifolds with corners appear naturally in M-theory. We illustrate this with four situations: The lift to bounding twelve dimensions of M-theory on Anti de Sitter spaces, ten-dimensional heterotic string the…

This paper makes a formal study of asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics given, as conformal infinity, a conformal manifold with boundary. The space on which such an Einstein metric exists thus has a finite boundary in addition to the usual infinite boundary and a corner where the two meet. On the finite boundary …

Positive mass theorem for non-smooth metrics on flat manifolds with corners.

Let X be a quasiprojective manifold given by the complement of a divisor $\bD$ with normal crossings in a smooth projective manifold $\bX$. Using a natural compactification of $X$ by a manifold with corners $\tX$, we describe the full asymptotic behavior at infinity of certain complete Kahler metrics of finite volume o…

We introduce the notion of reticular Legendrian unfoldings in order to investigate stabilities of bifurcations of wavefronts generated by a hypersurface germ with a boundary, a corner, or an r-corner in a smooth n dimensional manifold. We define several stabilities of reticular Legendrian unfoldings and prove that they…

For every connected manifold with corners we use a homology theory called conormal homology, defined in terms of faces and incidences and whose cycles correspond geometrically to corner's cycles. Its Euler characteristic (over the rationals, dimension of the total even space minus the dimension of the total odd space),…

New Calabi-Yau metrics constructed with detailed geometry at infinity.

The paper constructs submanifolds with corners in Delzant polytopes from affine subspaces.

Manifolds without boundary, and manifolds with boundary, are universally known in Differential Geometry, but manifolds with corners (locally modelled on [0,\infty)^k x R^{n-k}) have received comparatively little attention. The basic definitions in the subject are not agreed upon, there are several inequivalent definiti…

Given a connected manifold with corners of any codimension there is a very basic and computable homology theory called conormal homology defined in terms of faces and orientations of their conormal bundles, and whose cycles correspond geometrically to corner's cycles. Our main theorem is that, for any manifold with cor…

Defines s-manifolds and s-manifolds with corners for symplectic applications.

We use PDE methods as developed for the Liouville equation to study the existence of conformal metrics with prescribed singularities on surfaces with boundary, the boundary condition being constant geodesic curvature. Our first result shows that a disk with two corners admits a conformal metric with constant Gauss curv…

New method reveals corners of drum shapes.

Introduces generalized products for pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with corners.

We concretely construct a 2-categorically extended TQFT that extends the Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT to cobordisms with corners. The source category will be a well chosen 2-category of decorated cobordisms with corners and the target bicategory will be the Kapranov-Voevodsky 2-vector spaces.

We extend the notion of reticular Legendrian unfoldings in order to investigate multi-time bifurcations of wavefronts generated by an r-corner. We give a classification list of generic and stable bifurcations with two time parameter and give all generic figures in the plane and the space.
