Calculates twist in Teichmüller space using cross ratios.

We generalize the natural cross ratio on the ideal boundary of a rank one symmetric spaces, or even $\mathrm{CAT}(-1)$ space, to higher rank symmetric spaces and (non-locally compact) Euclidean buildings - we obtain vector valued cross ratios defined on simplices of the building at infinity. We show several properties …

Positive representations on surfaces have positive cross-ratios and satisfy a collar lemma.

Study curvature and torsion from cross-ratios in discrete curves.

Many classical objects on a surface S can be interpreted as cross-ratio functions on the circle at infinity of the universal covering. This includes closed curves considered up to homotopy, metrics of negative curvature considered up to isotopy and, in the case of interest here, tangent vectors to the Teichmüller space…

Integrable dynamics explained via geometric maps and cluster algebras.

Smooth structures on infinite dimensional Grassmannians and non-commutative cross-ratios.

We introduce a $\mathbb{Z}$-valued cross ratio on Roller boundaries of ${\rm CAT(0)}$ cube complexes. We motivate its relevance by showing that every cross-ratio preserving bijection of Roller boundaries uniquely extends to a cubical isomorphism. Our results are strikingly general and even apply to infinite dimensional…

The Sharpe ratio is a way to compare the excess returns (over the risk free asset) of portfolios for each unit of volatility that is generated by a portfolio. In this paper we introduce a robust Sharpe ratio portfolio under the assumption that the risk free asset is unknown. We propose a robust portfolio that maximizes…

Generalization of the cross ratio to polarizations of linear finite and infinite-dimensional spaces (in particular to Sato Grassmannian) is given and explored. This cross ratio appears to be a cocycle of the canonical (tautalogical) bundle over the Grassmannian with coefficients in the sheaf of its endomorphisms. Opera…

We consider moduli spaces of cyclic configurations of $N$ lines in a $2n$-dimensional symplectic vector space, such that every set of $n$ consecutive lines generates a Lagrangian subspace. We study geometric and combinatorial problems related to these moduli spaces, and prove that they are isomorphic to quotients of sp…

Classifies knots by lattice size, finding unknot ratios and crossing numbers.

We define a family of four-point invariants for Shilov boundaries of bounded symmetric domains of tube type, which generalizes the classical four-point cross ratio on the unit circle. This generalization, which is based on a similar construction of Clerc and Ørsted, is functorial and well-behaved under products; these …

We use Korányi--Reimann complex cross--ratios to prove the Ptolemaean inequality and the Theorem of Ptolemaeus in the setting of the boundary of complex hyperbolic space and the first Heisenberg group.

This is a survey article on two topics. The Energy E of knots can be obtained by generalizing an electrostatic energy of charged knots in order to produce optimal knots. It turns out to be invariant under Moebius transformations. We show that it can be expressed in terms of the infinitesimal cross ratio, which is a con…

We use cross ratios to describe second real continuous bounded cohomology for locally compact topological groups. We also derive a rigidity result for cocycles with values in the isometry group of a proper hyperbolic geodesic metric space.

We use generalised cross--ratios to prove the Ptolemaean inequality and the Theorem of Ptolemaeus in the setting of the boundary of symmetric Riemannian spaces of rank 1 and of negative curvature.

Uniform proof reconstructs spaces using cross ratio on boundary.

The ratio of volume to crossing number of a hyperbolic knot is known to be bounded above by the volume of a regular ideal octahedron, and a similar bound is conjectured for the knot determinant per crossing. We investigate a natural question motivated by these bounds: For which knots are these ratios nearly maximal? We…

We generalise in this article the Mc Shane-Mirzakhani identities in hyperbolic geometry to arbitrary cross ratios. We give an expression of them in the case of Hitchin representations of surface groups in PSL(n, R) in a suitable choice of Fock-Goncharov coordinates.

In this article we study an exact analogue of the cross-ratio for the algebra of quaternions H and use it to derive several interesting properties of quaternionic fractional linear transformations. In particular, we show that there exists a fractional linear transformation T on H mapping four distinct quaternions q_1, …

Given a triangulation of a closed surface, we consider a cross ratio system that assigns a complex number to every edge satisfying certain polynomial equations per vertex. Every cross ratio system induces a complex projective structure together with a circle pattern on the closed surface. In particular, there is an ass…

The Blum medial axis rigidity is studied in terms of cross ratios and differential geometry.

Geodesic flows on surfaces have specific fractional-linear integrals related to constant cross-ratios.

In deep neural network, the cross-entropy loss function is commonly used for classification. Minimizing cross-entropy is equivalent to maximizing likelihood under assumptions of uniform feature and class distributions. It belongs to generative training criteria which does not directly discriminate correct class from co…

New algorithm improves asset ranking for better cross-sectional portfolios.

We establish cross-ratio invariants for surfaces in 4-space in an analogous way to Uribe-Vargas's work for surfaces in 3-space. We study the geometric locii of local and multi-local singularities of ortogonal projections of the surface. The cross-ratio invariants at $P_3(c)$-points are used to recover two moduli in the…

Proves Nakai webs have rank 0 or 1, provides examples.

We study Hitchin representations and maximal symplectic representations of surface groups, which can be both thought of as generalisations of Fuchsian representations. We show that the corresponding energy functionals are proper on Teichmuller space. We also prove that the mapping class group acts properly on the corre…

Simple bounds show most cross-sectional predictability findings are likely true.

We show that group actions on irreducible ${\rm CAT(0)}$ cube complexes with no free faces are uniquely determined by their $\ell^1$ length function. Actions are allowed to be non-proper and non-cocompact, as long as they are minimal and have no finite orbit in the visual boundary. This is, to our knowledge, the first …

We consider the standard contact structure on the supercircle, S^{1|1}, and the supergroups E(1|1), Aff(1|1) and SpO(2|1) of contactomorphisms, defining the Euclidean, affine and projective geometry respectively. Using the new notion of (p|q)-transitivity, we construct in synthetic fashion even and odd invariants chara…

Paper analyzes holdout cross-validation for large non-Gaussian covariance estimation.

Let S be a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2 and let G be a semisimple real algebraic group of non-compact type. We consider a class of representations from the fundamental group of S to G called positively ratioed representations. These are Anosov representations with the additional condition that certain …

Given a quasisymmetric homeomorphism $\varphi$ of the circle, Bonsante and Schlenker proved the existence and uniqueness of the minimal Lagrangian extension $f_\varphi:\mathbb{H}^2\to\mathbb{H}^2$ to the hyperbolic plane. By previous work of the author, its maximal dilatation satisfies $\log K(f_\varphi)\leq C||\varphi…

Many geometric structures associated to surface groups can be encoded in terms of invariant cross ratios on their circle at infinity; examples include points of Teichmüller space, Hitchin representations and geodesic currents. We add to this picture by studying cubulations of arbitrary Gromov hyperbolic groups $G$. Und…

We study the various sectors of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) for a period of eight years from January 2006 to March 2014. Using the data of the daily returns of a period of eight years we investigate the financial cross correlation co-efficients among the sectors of BSE and Price by Earning (PE) ratio of BSE Sensex.…

Maps preserve distances in non-positively curved spaces.

This paper deals with the stability properties of a closed market, where capital and labour force are acting like a predator-prey system in population-dynamics. The spatial movement of the capital and labour force are taken into account by cross-diffusion effect. First, we are showing two possible ways for modeling thi…

We show that, for an alternating knot, the ratio of the diameter of the set of boundary slopes to the crossing number can be arbitrarily large.

We find that cusp densities of hyperbolic knots in the 3-sphere are dense in [0,0.6826...] and those of links are dense in [0,0.853...]. We define a new invariant associated with cusp volume, the cusp crossing density, as the ratio between the cusp volume and the crossing number of a link, and show that cusp crossing d…
