A zigzag in a map (a -cell embedding of a connected graph in a connected closed -dimensional surface) is a cyclic sequence of edges satisfying the following conditions: 1) any two consecutive edges lie on the same face and have a common vertex, 2) for any three consecutive edges the first and the third edges are …
We give uniform, explicit, and simple face-pairing descriptions of all the branched cyclic covers of the 3-sphere, branched over two-bridge knots. Our method is to use the bi-twisted face-pairing constructions of Cannon, Floyd, and Parry; these examples show that the bi-twist construction is often efficient and natural…
We discuss 3-manifolds which are cyclic coverings of the 3-sphere, branched over 2-bridge knots and links. Different descriptions of these manifolds are presented: polyhedral, Heegaard diagram, Dehn surgery and coloured graph constructions. Using these descriptions, we give presentations for their fundamental groups, w…
In this paper, we define finite type invariants for cyclic equivalence classes of nanophrases and construct the universal ones. Also, we identify the universal finite type invariant of degree 1 essentially with the linking matrix. It is known that extended Arnold's basic invariants to signed words are finite type invar…
Computes constants for cyclic covers of translation surfaces.
Geometric limits of cyclic subgroups in specific groups studied.
We classify -cyclic and -abelian 3-manifolds, for which every representation of the fundamental group into has cyclic or abelian image respectively, among geometric 3-manifolds which are not hyperbolic. As an application, we give examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds which do not admit degree-1 maps …
Given a finite or infinite planar graph all of whose faces have degree 4, we study embeddings in the plane in which all edges have length 1, that is, in which every face is a rhombus. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such an embedding, as well as a description of the set of all such emb…
New displacement technique vanishes bounded cohomology in all degrees.
Improved animated faces using audiovisual and modality dropout.
The Hodge series of a finite matrix group is the generating function for invariant exterior forms of specified order and degree. Lauret, Miatello, and Rossetti gave examples of pairs of non-conjugate cyclic groups having the same Hodge series; the corresponding space forms are isospectral for the Laplacian on p-forms f…
The article explores symmetric maps on surfaces, focusing on semi-equivelar maps.
We have previously shown that the truncated Weil algebra of any Lie algebra is a Hopf-cyclic type complex with nontrivial coefficients. In this paper we apply this result to transfer the characteristic classes of transversely orientable foliations into the cyclic cohomology of the groupoid action algebra. Our result in…
A cyclic cover over the Riemann sphere branched at four points inherits a natural flat structure from the "pillow" flat structure on the basic sphere. We give an explicit formula for all individual Lyapunov exponents of the Hodge bundle over the corresponding arithmetic Teichmuller curve. The key technical element is e…
The virtually cyclic dimension of Out(F_N) is finite and related properties are established.
In this paper we present the construction of explicit quasi-isomorphisms that compute the cyclic homology and periodic cyclic homology of crossed-product algebras associated with (discrete) group actions. In the first part we deal with algebraic crossed-products associated with group actions on unital algebras over any…
An increasing sequence of integers is said to be universal for knots and links if every knot and link has a projection to the sphere such that the number of edges of each complementary face of the projection comes from the given sequence. This paper is an investigation into which sequences, either finite or infinite, a…
A is an embedding of a graph on surfaces where every face has length three. In this article, we show the existence of contractible Hamiltonian cycle in triangulated maps of which minimum degree is four.
Arithmetic study of knots connects homology and SL2 representations.
Characterizes sequences from two-component link diagrams.
This paper determines the minimal degree sequence for two compact rational knots, namely the trefoil and figure-eight knots. We find explicit projections with the minimal degree sequence of each knot. This is done by modifying a non-compact rational minimal-degree parameterization of the trefoil and figure-eight knots …
The study broadens the concept of cyclic polytopes to Veronese polytopes.
Extends Loday-Quillen-Tsygan theorem to bornological Lie algebra homology.
For ordinary knots in R3, there are no degree one Vassiliev invariants. For virtual knots, however, the space of degree one Vassiliev invariants is infinite dimensional. We introduce a sequence of three degree one Vassiliev invariants of virtual knots of increasing strength. We demonstrate that the strongest invariant …
Study integral simplicial volume of cyclic covers of torus bundles.
We present a family of complete acyclic Morse matchings on the face lattice of a hypersimplex. Since a hypersimplex is a convex polytope, there is a natural way to form a CW complex from its faces. In a future paper we will utilize these matchings to classify every subcomplex whose reduced homology groups are concentra…
For a finite volume geodesic polyhedron P in hyperbolic 3-space, with the property that all interior angles between incident faces are integral submultiples of Pi, there is a naturally associated Coxeter group generated by reflections in the faces. Furthermore, this Coxeter group is a lattice inside the isometry group …
We study discrete conjugate nets whose Laplace sequence is of period four. Corresponding points of opposite nets in this cyclic sequence have equal osculating planes in different net directions, that is, they correspond in an asymptotic transformation. We show that this implies that the connecting lines of correspondin…
Recognizing facial expressions from static images or video sequences is a widely studied but still challenging problem. The recent progresses obtained by deep neural architectures, or by ensembles of heterogeneous models, have shown that integrating multiple input representations leads to state-of-the-art results. In p…
This is part 2 of a 3-part article where we provide an -algorithm to produce a surgery presentation of a 3-manifold induced by a gem with a resolution. In this part we produce a sequence of colored simplicial 2-complexes which are inverses and dual to the sequence of gems produced in the first part. The refinem…
Solves generalized twisted rabbit problems for higher degree polynomials.
In this work we present an adversarial training algorithm that exploits correlations in video to learn --without supervision-- an image generator model with a disentangled latent space. The proposed methodology requires only a few modifications to the standard algorithm of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and invo…
The Schwarzian derivative helps classify minimal surfaces by their degree.
We study the unwheeled rational Kontsevich integral of torus knots. We give a precise formula for these invariants up to loop degree 3 and show that they appear as colorings of simple diagrams. We show that they behave under cyclic branched coverings in a very simple way. Our proof is combinatorial: it uses the results…
This paper characterizes the equilibrium in a continuous time financial market populated by heterogeneous agents who differ in their rate of relative risk aversion and face convex portfolio constraints. The model is studied in an application to margin constraints and found to match real world observations about financi…
CycleFQI tackles offline reinforcement learning for cyclic MDPs, mitigating state distribution mismatch.
Let M be a closed connected manifold. Let m(M) be the Morse number of M, that is, the minimal number of critical points of a Morse function on M. Let N be a finite cover of M of degree d. M.Gromov posed the following question: what are the asymptotic properties of m(N) as d goes to infinity? In this paper we study the …
Algorithm classifies saddle-focus singularities in Hamiltonian systems.
We present a complete acyclic matching of the Hasse diagram associated with the face lattice of a hypersimplex. Since a hypersimplex is a convex polytope, there is a natural way to form a CW complex from its faces. We will then utilize this matching along with discrete Morse theory and some topological techniques to cl…
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method to record the electrical signals in the brain. Recognizing the EEG patterns in the sleeping brain gives insights into the understanding of sleeping disorders. The dataset under consideration contains EEG data points associated with various physiological conditions. This study at…
In the previous three papers in this series, [WKO1]-[WKO3] (arXiv:1405.1956, arXiv:1405.1955, and to appear), Z. Dancso and I studied a certain theory of "homomorphic expansions" of "w-knotted objects", a certain class of knotted objects in 4-dimensional space. When all layers of interpretation are stripped off, what r…
We prove that two links related by a surgery along a connected, strict graph clasper of degree n are C_n-equivalent, i.e, related by a sequence of surgeries along strict tree claspers of degree n.
We give a simple proof of the finite presentation of Sela's limit groups by using free actions on R^n-trees. We first prove that Sela's limit groups do have a free action on an R^n-tree. We then prove that a finitely generated group having a free action on an R^n-tree can be obtained from free abelian groups and surfac…
New forms generalize Whitney forms with rational coefficients for numerical analysis.
For a branched cover between two closed orientable surfaces, the Riemann-Hurwitz formula relates the Euler characteristics of the surfaces, the total degree of the cover, and the total length of the partitions of the degree given by the local degrees at the preimages of the branching points. A very old problem asks whe…
