48 results for deficiency 1 groups

Generalizing the theorem of Green--Lazarsfeld and Gromov, we classify Kaehler groups of deficiency at least two. As a consequence we see that there are no Kaehler groups of even and strictly positive deficiency. With the same arguments we prove that Kaehler groups that are non-Abelian and are limit groups in the sense …

For every N > 0 there exists a group of deficiency less than -N that arises as the fundamental group of a smooth homology 4-sphere and also as the fundamental group of the complement of a compact contractible submanifold of the 4-sphere. A group is the fundamental group of the complement of a contractible submanifold o…

We study "how far away" a finite index subgroup G of SL(2,Z) is from being a congruence group. For this we define its deficiency of being a congruence group. We show that the index of the image of G in SL(2,Z/nZ) is biggest, if n is the general Wohlfahrt level. We furthermore show that the Veech groups of origamis (or …

We address two fundamental and well-known problems of Gromov and Lyndon: \demo{Problem A} (Gromov, see [5]). Consider a category MnM_n of closed manifolds of dimension nn with nonzero-degree ways as morphisms. Study a partial order MNMor(M,N)φM \ge N \Leftrightarrow Mor (M, N) \neq φ. For which NN the degrees of maps $f: M \t…

The performance of standard learning procedures has been observed to differ widely across groups. Recent studies usually attribute this loss discrepancy to an information deficiency for one group (e.g., one group has less data). In this work, we point to a more subtle source of loss discrepancy---feature noise. Our mai…

We compute the characteristic varieties and the Alexander polynomial of a finitely generated nilpotent group. We show that the first characteristic variety may be used to detect nilpotence.

We show that if ππ is the fundamental group of a 4-dimensional infrasolvmanifold then 2def(π)0-2\leq{def(π)}\leq0, and give examples realizing each of these values. We also determine the abstract commensurators of such groups. Finally we show that if GG is a finitely generated group the kernel of the natural homomorphism f…

In various classes of infinite groups, we identify groups that are presentable by products, i.e. groups having finite index subgroups which are quotients of products of two commuting infinite subgroups. The classes we discuss here include groups of small virtual cohomological dimension and irreducible Zariski dense sub…

We examine certain symmetries in the deficiencies of a rational surgery on a knot in S3S^3 by comparing the Spinc\text{Spin}^c-structures on the rational surgery with those on a related integral surgery. We then provide an application of these symmetries in the form of a theorem that obstructs Dehn surgeries in S3S^3. Thi…

problem The economic benefits and limitations of deliberately tolerating defects in decision-making.
method Analyzes the conditions under which defects can be kept and removed, using economic models and structural analysis.

result A defect is profitably removable if the detector-relevant distinction survives a restriction and the advantage condition holds.

Joint sparsity offers powerful structural cues for feature selection, especially for variables that are expected to demonstrate a "grouped" behavior. Such behavior is commonly modeled via group-lasso, multitask lasso, and related methods where feature selection is effected via mixed-norms. Several mixed-norm based spar…

These generic features should perform as well as the best hand crafted features for any learning problem that makes use of this data.

We introduce a notion of the twist of an isometry of the hyperbolic plane. This twist function is defined on the universal covering group of orientation-preserving isometries of the hyperbolic plane, at each point in the plane. We relate this function to a function defined by Milnor and generalised by Wood. We deduce v…
