We consider a contact manifold with a pseudo-Riemannian metric and define a contact vector field intrinsically associated to this pair of structures. We call this new differential invariant the contact Riemannian curl. On a Riemannian manifold, Killing vector fields are those that annihilate the metric; a Killing $1$-f…

Sharp constants in curl-Sobolev inequalities on spheres determined.

Contrastive unsupervised representation learning (CURL) is the state-of-the-art technique to learn representations (as a set of features) from unlabelled data. While CURL has collected several empirical successes recently, theoretical understanding of its performance was still missing. In a recent work, Arora et al. (2…

Proves spectral simplicity of Hodge Laplacian and curl operator along metric families.

We present a novel approach to adjust global image properties such as colour, saturation, and luminance using human-interpretable image enhancement curves, inspired by the Photoshop curves tool. Our method, dubbed neural CURve Layers (CURL), is designed as a multi-colour space neural retouching block trained jointly in…

Q-CurL optimizes quantum learning with a curriculum design.

The goal of this paper is to describe and clarify as much as possible the 3-dimensional topology underlying the Helmholtz cuts method, which occurs in a wide theoretic and applied literature about Electromagnetism, Fluid dynamics and Elasticity on domains of the ordinary space. We consider two classes of bounded domain…

Develops a new approach to spectral asymmetry using microlocal analysis.

New algorithm for online learning in episodic MDPs with convex objectives.

In this paper we propose a strategy for semi-supervised image classification that leverages unsupervised representation learning and co-training. The strategy, that is called CURL from Co-trained Unsupervised Representation Learning, iteratively builds two classifiers on two different views of the data. The two views c…

The basic theorems of vector calculus are illuminated when we replace the original 3 stooges of vector calculus: Grad, Div, and Curl, with combinatorial substitutes. In addition to providing simple proofs of Green's theorem and the equivalence of the integral and derivative definitions of curl, we also provide a brief …

MetaCURL tackles non-stationary MDPs with optimal dynamic regret.

We present a compensated compactness theorem in Banach spaces established recently, whose formulation is originally motivated by the weak rigidity problem for isometric immersions of manifolds with lower regularity. As a corollary, a geometrically intrinsic div-curl lemma for tensor fields on Riemannian manifolds is ob…

New GPs model edge functions on complex networks, capturing divergence and curl.

We prove the local-in-time well-posedness for the solution of the compressible Euler equations in $3$-D, for the Cauchy data of the velocity, density and vorticity $(v,\varrho, \fw) \in H^s\times H^s\times H^{s'}$, $2<s'<s$. The classical local well-posedness result for the compressible Euler equations in $3$-D holds f…

In the year 1968 N.V. Efimov has proven the following remarkable theorem: \textit{Let $f:\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2\in C^1$ be such that $\det f'(x)<0$ for all $x\in\mathbb R^2$ and let there exist a function $a=a(x)>0$ and constants $C_1\geqslant 0$, $C_2\geqslant 0$ such that the inequalities $|1/a(x)-1/a(y)|\leqslant…

We study the spectral properties of curl, a linear differential operator of first order acting on differential forms of appropriate degree on an odd-dimensional closed oriented Riemannian manifold. In three dimensions its eigenvalues are the electromagnetic oscillation frequencies in vacuum without external sources. In…

Efimov's theorem links curvature and homeomorphism in 2D.

We are concerned with the global weak rigidity of the Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci (GCR) equations on Riemannian manifolds and the corresponding isometric immersions of Riemannian manifolds into the Euclidean spaces. We develop a unified intrinsic approach to establish the global weak rigidity of both the GCR equations and isom…

The paper compares three hypoelliptic Laplacians on a specific 5D Cartan group.

The paper deals with the possibly degenerate behaviour of the exterior derivative operator defined on $1$-forms on metric measure spaces. The main examples we consider are the non self-similar Sierpinski carpets recently introduced by Mackay, Tyson and Wildrick. Although topologically one-dimensional, they may have pos…

Building on previous results on the quadratic helicity in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) we investigate particular minimum helicity states. Those are eigenfunctions of the curl operator and are shown to constitute solutions of the quasi-stationary incompressible ideal MHD equations. We then show that these states have inde…

In optimization, the negative gradient of a function denotes the direction of steepest descent. Furthermore, traveling in any direction orthogonal to the gradient maintains the value of the function. In this work, we show that these orthogonal directions that are ignored by gradient descent can be critical in equilibri…

We study steady-state magnetic fields in the geometric setting of positive curvature on subdomains of the three-dimensional sphere. By generalizing the Biot-Savart law to an integral operator BS acting on all vector fields, we show that electrodynamics in such a setting behaves rather similarly to Euclidean electrodyna…

We obtain explicit, isometry-invariant integral formulas for twisting, writhing and helicity, and prove the theorem LINK = TWIST + WRITHE on the 3-sphere and in hyperbolic 3-space. We then use these results to derive upper bounds for the helicity of vector fields and lower bounds for the first eigenvalue of the curl op…

Continual learning aims to improve the ability of modern learning systems to deal with non-stationary distributions, typically by attempting to learn a series of tasks sequentially. Prior art in the field has largely considered supervised or reinforcement learning tasks, and often assumes full knowledge of task labels …

Detect anomalies in complex networks using topological subspace detectors.

We use a skein-theoretic version of the Hecke algebras of type A to present three-dimensional diagrammatic views of Gyoja's idempotent elements, based closely on the corresponding Young diagram. In this context we give straightforward calculations for the eigenvalues of two natural central elements in the Hecke algebra…

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the Schouten-Weyl tensor on the three-dimensional Lie groups with left-invariant Lorenzian metrics. The left-invariant Lorentzian metrics on the three-dimensional Lie groups with squared length zero Schouten-Weyl tensor are studied. Moreover, the three-dimensional metric…

Proposes linking energy and force uncertainty in deep learning potentials.

We consider a generalization of the notion of a natural mechanical system to the case of additional forces of gyroscopic type. Such forces appear, for example, as a result of global reduction of a natural system with symmetry. We study symmetries in the systems with gyroscopic forces to find out when these systems admi…

In this paper we prove the Poincaré lemma on some $n$-dimensional corank 1 sub-Riemannian structures, formulating the $\frac{(n-1)n(n^2+3n-2)}{8}$ necessarily and sufficiently 'curl-vanishing' compatibility conditions. In particular, this result solves partially an open problem formulated by Calin and Chang. Our proof …

We examine the $L^2$-topology of the gauge orbits over a closed Riemann surface. We prove a subtle local slice theorem based on the div-curl Lemma of harmonic analysis, and deduce local pathwise connectedness and local uniform quasiconvexity of the gauge orbits. Using these, we generalize compactness results for anti-s…

The paper analyzes errors in mechanical systems with external forces.

Let S be a finite union of (pairwise disjoint but possibly knotted and linked) closed curves and tubes in the round sphere S^3 or in the flat torus T^3. In the case of the torus, S is further assumed to be contained in a contractible subset of T^3. In this paper we show that for any sufficiently large odd integer λther…
