Simple matrix formulas for Grassmannian curvatures.
Since Li and Yau obtained the gradient estimate for the heat equation, related estimates have been extensively studied. With additional curvature assumptions, matrix estimates that generalize such estimates have been discovered for various time-dependent settings, including the heat equation on a Kähler manifold, Ricci…
The paper reformulates Bakry-Émery curvature on graphs using eigenvalues.
In this paper we form relations for the determination of the elements of the Eötvös matrix of the Earth's normal gravity field. In addition a relation between the Gauss curvature of the normal equipotential surface and the Gauss curvature of the actual equipotential surface both passing through the point P is presented…

We proved a matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton type gradient estimates for the positive solutin of the heat equation on complete Kaehler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature. As a consequence we obtain a comparison theorem for the distance function under this curvature assumption.
A method to calculate generalized curvatures of curves in n-dimensional space.
A necessary condition for a connection in a vector bundle to be locally metric is for its curvature matrix, which consists of forms, to be skew symmetric with respect to some local frame. In this paper we give a simple algorithm that can be used to decide when a matrix of forms is equivalent to a skew symmetric…
We prove that many aspects of the differential geometry of embedded Riemannian manifolds can be formulated in terms of multi linear algebraic structures on the space of smooth functions. In particular, we find algebraic expressions for Weingarten's formula, the Ricci curvature and the Codazzi-Mainardi equations. For ma…
New CRB derived for curved models using extrinsic geometry.
This paper describes the connection between scattering matrices on conformally compact asymptotically Einstein manifolds and conformally invariant objects on their boundaries at infinity. The conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian arise as residues of the scattering matrix and Branson's Q-curvature in even dimen…
We develop the scattering theory of general conformally compact metrics. For low frequencies, the domain of the scattering matrix is shown to be frequency dependent. In particular, generalized eigenfunctions exhibit L^2 decay in directions where the asymptotic curvature is sufficiently negative. The scattering matrix i…

Study connects curvature to graph theory and reveals differences.
We give necessary and sufficient local conditions for the simultaneous unitarizability of a set of analytic matrix maps from an analytic 1-manifold into SL_n(C) under conjugation by a single analytic matrix map. We apply this result to the monodromy arising from an integrable partial differential equation to construct …
We propose an efficient method for approximating natural gradient descent in neural networks which we call Kronecker-Factored Approximate Curvature (K-FAC). K-FAC is based on an efficiently invertible approximation of a neural network's Fisher information matrix which is neither diagonal nor low-rank, and in some cases…
The speed at which one can minimize an expected loss using stochastic methods depends on two properties: the curvature of the loss and the variance of the gradients. While most previous works focus on one or the other of these properties, we explore how their interaction affects optimization speed. Further, as the ulti…

This paper extends Jacobi field theory to Jacobi curves and their curvatures.
Wider neural networks have predominantly positive curvature, aiding optimization.
Second-order optimization methods such as natural gradient descent have the potential to speed up training of neural networks by correcting for the curvature of the loss function. Unfortunately, the exact natural gradient is impractical to compute for large models, and most approximations either require an expensive it…

The paper extends log-Sobolev inequalities to matrix-valued settings using combinatorial methods.
The asymptotic concentration of the Fr{é}chet mean of IID random variables on a Rieman-nian manifold was established with a central limit theorem by Bhattacharya \& Patrangenaru (BP-CLT) [6]. This asymptotic result shows that the Fr{é}chet mean behaves almost as the usual Euclidean case for sufficiently concentrated di…

We define Discrete Quasi-Einstein metrics (DQE-metrics) as the critical points of discrete total curvature functional on triangulated 3-manifolds. We study DQE-metrics by introducing some combinatorial curvature flows. We prove that these flows produce solutions which converge to discrete quasi-Einstein metrics when th…

Utilizing a weight matrix we study surfaces of prescribed weighted mean curvature which yield a natural generalisation to critical points of anisotropic surface energies. We first derive a differential equation for the normal of immersions with prescribed weighted mean curvature, generalising a result of Clarenz and vo…

The paper defines and calculates fourth fundamental form and i-th curvatures for hypersurfaces in 4D Euclidean space.
Using the notion of vacuum pairs we show how the (square of the) mass matrix of the fermions can be considered geometrically as curvature. This curvature together with the curvature of space-time, defines the total curvature of the Clifford module bundle representing a ``free'' fermion within the geometrical setup of s…
Based on a suggestion of Richard Hamilton, we give an alternate proof of his matrix Harnack inequality for solutions of the Ricci flow with positive curvature operator. This Harnack inequality says that a certain endomorphism, consisting of an expression in the curvature and its first two covariant derivatives, of the …
We show that there are no spurious local minima in the non-convex factorized parametrization of low-rank matrix recovery from incoherent linear measurements. With noisy measurements we show all local minima are very close to a global optimum. Together with a curvature bound at saddle points, this yields a polynomial ti…
We give a geometric interpretation of Hamilton's matrix Harnack inequality for the Ricci flow as the curvature of a connection on space-time.
