In this note we show that the Lagrangian Luttinger surgery preserves the symplectic Kodaira dimension. Some constraints on Lagrangian tori in symplectic four manifolds with non-positive Kodaira dimension are also derived.
Study on harmonic maps from surfaces to homogeneous spaces, focusing on bubble formation and geometric constraints.
problem Understanding the behavior of harmonic maps from surfaces to homogeneous spaces, especially in the presence of bubbles.
method Refined asymptotic expansions and obstruction relations for sequences developing a single bubble, geometric constraints for weakly conformal maps.
result New geometric constraints on the tangent planes of the limit map and bubble, depending on the dimensionality.
The paper studies the properties of maps with free boundaries, focusing on the obstacle case.
problem Properties of the projected image and its regularity in maps with free boundaries.
method Dividing the map into distance and projected image parts; applying classical obstacle problem methods and proving higher regularity for the projected image.
result The projected image is at most of class C2,1 and globally of class W3,BMO, locally of C2,1 around the regular part of the free boundary.
This short paper gives a constraint on Chern classes of closed strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds (or equivalently, closed holomorphically fillable contact manifolds) of dimension at least five. We also see that our result is ''optimal'' through some examples.
Intersectional constraints improve selection outcomes by reducing inequality.
problem Persistent inequality and reduced utility in selection processes due to implicit bias.
method Introducing intersectional constraints to mitigate the adverse effects of implicit bias in selection processes.
result Intersectional constraints can recover almost all the utility achievable in the absence of implicit bias, offering a significant advantage over non-intersectional constraints.
We show that if a co-dimension two knot is deform-spun from a lower-dimensional co-dimension 2 knot, there are constraints on the Alexander polynomials. In particular this shows, for all n, that not all co-dimension 2 knots in S^n are deform-spun from knots in S^{n-1}.
Estimation in generalized linear models (GLM) is complicated by the presence of constraints. One can handle constraints by maximizing a penalized log-likelihood. Penalties such as the lasso are effective in high dimensions, but often lead to unwanted shrinkage. This paper explores instead penalizing the squared distanc…
We consider the problem of noisy 1-bit matrix completion under an exact rank constraint on the true underlying matrix M∗. Instead of observing a subset of the noisy continuous-valued entries of a matrix M∗, we observe a subset of noisy 1-bit (or binary) measurements generated according to a probabilistic model. W…
We derive the Riemannian Positive Mass theorem in arbitrary dimensions, without any topological constraints. The main new tools are skin structures and surgeries on minimal hypersurfaces.
Superconformal geometries discussed in various spacetime dimensions using local supertwistor bundles.
problem Discussing superconformal geometries in different spacetime dimensions.
method Using local supertwistor bundles over standard superspace, showing gauges where scale parts of the connection and curvature vanish, and imposing constraints to reduce field numbers.
result Reduced field numbers to those of minimal off-shell conformal supergravity multiplets by imposing constraints.
Proper regularization is critical for speeding up training, improving generalization performance, and learning compact models that are cost efficient. We propose and analyze regularized gradient descent algorithms for learning shallow neural networks. Our framework is general and covers weight-sharing (convolutional ne…
We derive the Space-Time Positive Mass theorem in arbitrary dimensions, without topological constraints. The main new tools are skin structures and surgeries on minimal and marginally outer trapped hypersurfaces.
In this paper, we introduce and develop the theory of semimartingale optimal transport in a path dependent setting. Instead of the classical constraints on marginal distributions, we consider a general framework of path dependent constraints. Duality results are established, representing the solution in terms of path d…
We use the conformal method to obtain solutions of the Einstein-scalar field gravitational constraint equations. Handling scalar fields is a bit more challenging than handling matter fields such as fluids, Maxwell fields or Yang-Mills fields, because the scalar field introduces three extra terms into the Lichnerowicz e…
Bayesian network models with latent variables are widely used in statistics and machine learning. In this paper we provide a complete algebraic characterization of Bayesian network models with latent variables when the observed variables are discrete and no assumption is made about the state-space of the latent variabl…
This paper deals with the super-replication of non path-dependent European claims under additional convex constraints on the number of shares held in the portfolio. The corresponding super-replication price of a given claim has been widely studied in the literature and its terminal value, which dominates the claim of i…
Local Linear embedding (LLE) is a popular dimension reduction method. In this paper, we first show LLE with nonnegative constraint is equivalent to the widely used Laplacian embedding. We further propose to iterate the two steps in LLE repeatedly to improve the results. Thirdly, we relax the kNN constraint of LLE and p…
Embedding models for entities and relations are extremely useful for recovering missing facts in a knowledge base. Intuitively, a relation can be modeled by a matrix mapping entity vectors. However, relations reside on low dimension sub-manifolds in the parameter space of arbitrary matrices---for one reason, compositio…
