Introduces a new geometry based on difference angles, showing unique properties.

Self-driving vehicles have expanded dramatically over the last few years. Udacity has release a dataset containing, among other data, a set of images with the steering angle captured during driving. The Udacity challenge aimed to predict steering angle based on only the provided images. We explore two different models …

New theorem disproves Angle Defect for super triangles.

We discuss the existence of the angle between two curves in Teichmüller spaces and show that, in any infinite dimensional Teichmüller space, there exist infinitely many geodesic triangles each of which has the same three vertices and satisfies the property that its three sides have the same and arbitrarily given length…

In this paper we give two different proofs of Bobenko and Springborn's theorem of circle pattern: there exists a hyperbolic (or Euclidean) circle pattern with proscribed intersection angles and cone angles on a cellular decomposed surface up to isometry (or similarity).

The paper sets new limits on hyperbolic polyhedra volumes.

The study of symmetries in manifolds derived from colored polytopes.

Theorems and techniques to form different types of transformationally invariant processing and to produce the same output quantitatively based on either transformationally invariant operators or symmetric operations have recently been introduced by the authors. In this study, we further propose to compose a geared rota…

Unlike previous works, this open data collection consists of X-ray cone-beam (CB) computed tomography (CT) datasets specifically designed for machine learning applications and high cone-angle artefact reduction. Forty-two walnuts were scanned with a laboratory X-ray set-up to provide not only data from a single object …

We prove the existence of a minimal diffeomorphism isotopic to the identity between two hyperbolic cone surfaces $(Σ,g_1)$ and $(Σ,g_2)$ when the cone angles of $g_1$ and $g_2$ are different and smaller than $π$. When the cone angles of $g_1$ are strictly smaller than the ones of $g_2$, this minimal diffeomorphism is u…

In this paper we develop a general conceptual approach to the problem of existence of action-angle variables for dynamical systems, which establishes and uses the fundamental conservation property of associated torus actions: anything which is preserved by the system is also preserved by the associated torus actions. T…

Let $ρ:(D^2)^m\to I^m$ be the orbit map for the diagonal action of the torus $T^m$ on the unit poly-disk $(D^2)^m$, $I^m=[0,1]^m$ is the unit cube. Let $C$ be a cubical subcomplex in $I^m$. The moment-angle complex $\ma(C)$ is a $T^m$-invariant bigraded cellular decomposition of the subset $ρ^{-1}(C)\subset(D^2)^m$ wit…

Proposes an angle-based framework for multicategory cost-sensitive classification.

New method estimates intrinsic dimensionality using angles, not distances.

Study loxodromes and geodesics on rotational surfaces in pseudo-isotropic space.

Deep learning algorithms have increasingly been shown to lack robustness to simple adversarial examples (AdvX). An equally troubling observation is that these adversarial examples transfer between different architectures trained on different datasets. We investigate the transferability of adversarial examples between m…

Study precise rates of horizontal gap shrinkage on generic translation surfaces.

The rigidity of marked length spectrum for closed hyperbolic surfaces due to Fricke-Klein [7] has been the motivation of many different rigidity results, specially for manifolds of negative curvature. From the works of Vigneras [18], Sunada [17] and many other authors this result is far from being true for the unmarked…

We study the topology of Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian submanifolds N in C^m constructed from intersections of real quadrics in a work of the first author. This construction is linked via an embedding criterion to the well-known Delzant construction of Hamiltonian toric manifolds. We establish the following topologica…

In two former papers, the authors independently proved that the space of hyperbolic cone-3-manifolds with cone angles less than 2π and fixed singular locus is locally parametrized by the cone angles. In this sequel, we investigate the local shape of the deformation space when the singular locus is no longer fixed, i.e.…

Polyhedra's structure is uniquely defined by edge lengths and dihedral angles, even nonconvex.

The paper studies Kähler-Einstein metrics with singularities and their limits.

In a 1967 paper, Banchoff stated that a certain type of polyhedral curvature, that applies to all finite polyhedra, was zero at all vertices of an odd-dimensional polyhedral manifold; one then obtains an elementary proof that odd-dimensional manifolds have zero Euler characteristic. In a previous paper, the author defi…

Dynamic angles estimated from noisy measurements over time with smoothness constraints.

The paper examines how the angle between inputs in ReLU networks decreases with depth, impacting training.

Defines Kahler angle for a broader context.

We first define a complex angle between two oriented spacelike planes in 4-dimensional Minkowski space, and then study the constant angle surfaces in that space, i.e. the oriented spacelike surfaces whose tangent planes form a constant complex angle with respect to a fixed spacelike plane. This notion is the natural Lo…

Study angle structures on pseudo 3-manifolds, proving existence for some cases.

In this paper we study the right-angled Coxeter groups that acts geometrically on the Salvetti complex of a certain right-angled Artin group, which we refer to as Croke-Kleiner spaces. We prove that any right-angled Coxeter group that acts geometrically on the Croke-Kleiner spaces acts with $π/2$ angles between reflect…

Stiefel-Whitney classes of moment-angle manifolds are trivial.

In this paper, we discuss the Lagrangian angle and the Kähler angle of immersed surfaces in $\mathbb C^2$. Firstly, we provide an extension of Lagrangian angle, Maslov form and Maslov class to more general surfaces in $\mathbb C^2$ than Lagrangian surfaces, and then naturally extend a theorem by J.-M. Morvan to surface…

Uniqueness of quasi-roots explored in right-angled Artin groups.

We define essential and strongly essential triangulations of 3-manifolds, and give four constructions using different tools (Heegaard splittings, hierarchies of Haken 3-manifolds, Epstein-Penner decompositions, and cut loci of Riemannian manifolds) to obtain triangulations with these properties under various hypotheses…

This note generalizes the visual angle to convex sets in 3D space.

Study proves existence of weak mean curvature flow with contact angle.

Improved volume estimates for right-angled polyhedra in hyperbolic space.

This paper explores historical and philosophical aspects of angles and solid angles, inspired by Euler's work.

Real moment-angle manifolds of combinatorially equivalent simple polytopes are equivariantly diffeomorphic.

Agol recently introduced the notion of a veering triangulation, and showed that such triangulations naturally arise as layered triangulations of fibered hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We prove, by a constructive argument, that every veering triangulation admits positive angle structures, recovering a result of Hodgson, Rubins…

We provide a congruence theorem for minimal surfaces in $S^5$ with constant contact angle using Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci equations. More precisely, we prove that Gauss-Codazzi-Ricci equations for minimal surfaces in $S^5$ with constant contact angle satisfy an equation for the Laplacian of the holomorphic angle. Also, we wi…

Moment-angle manifolds provide a wide class of examples of non-Kaehler compact complex manifolds. A complex moment-angle manifold Z is constructed via certain combinatorial data, called a complete simplicial fan. In the case of rational fans, the manifold Z is the total space of a holomorphic bundle over a toric variet…

Surveying connections between graph combinatorics and algebraic right-angled Artin groups.

We consider finite area convex Euclidean circular sectors. We prove a variational Polyakov formula which shows how the zeta-regularized determinant of the Laplacian varies with respect to the opening angle. Varying the angle corresponds to a conformal deformation in the direction of a conformal factor with a logarithmi…

We give a new notion of angle in general metric spaces; more precisely, given a triple a points $p,x,q$ in a metric space $(X,d)$, we introduce the notion of angle cone ${\angle_{pxq}}$ as being an interval ${\angle_{pxq}}:=[\angle^-_{pxq},\angle^+_{pxq}]$, where the quantities $\angle^\pm_{pxq}$ are defined in terms o…

The paper studies prescribed angle surfaces in Riemannian manifolds with torse-forming vector fields.

In this paper we classify certain special ruled surfaces in $\R^3$ under the general theorem of characterization of constant angle surfaces. We study the tangent developable and conical surfaces from the point of view the constant angle property. Moreover, the natural extension to normal and binormal constant angle sur…

We survey the role of right-angled Artin groups in the theory of diffeomorphism groups of low dimensional manifolds. We first describe some of the subgroup structure of right-angled Artin groups. We then discuss the interplay between algebraic structure, compactness, and regularity for group actions on one--dimensional…
