We give a geometric realization of the polyhedra governed by the structure of associative algebras with co-inner products, or more precisely, governed by directed planar trees. Our explicit realization of these polyhedra, which include the associahedra in a special case, shows in particular that these polyhedra are hom…

We consider a proper flat fibration with real base and complex fibers. First we construct odd characteristic classes for such fibrations by a method that generalizes constructions of Bismut-Lott. Then we consider the direct image of a fiberwise holomorphic vector bundle, which is a flat vector bundle on the base. We gi…

We describe ways to define and calculate L1L_1-norm signal subspaces which are less sensitive to outlying data than L2L_2-calculated subspaces. We focus on the computation of the L1L_1 maximum-projection principal component of a data matrix containing N signal samples of dimension D and conclude that the general proble…

Instantons on various spaces can be constructed via a generalization of the Fourier transform called the ADHM-Nahm transform. An explicit use of this construction, however, involves rather tedious calculations. Here we derive a simple formula for instantons on a space with one periodic direction. It simplifies the ADHM…

An invariant of orientable 3-manifolds is defined by taking the minimum nn such that a given 3-manifold embeds in the connected sum of nn copies of S2×S2S^2 \times S^2, and we call this nn the embedding number of the 3-manifold. We give some general properties of this invariant, and make calculations for families of le…

In this work, a classification method for SSVEP-based BCI is proposed. The classification method uses features extracted by traditional SSVEP-based BCI methods and finds optimal discrimination thresholds for each feature to classify the targets. Optimising the thresholds is formalised as a maximisation task of a perfor…

This is a survey on the geometry of warped products, without, or essentially with only soft, calculation.

It is known that from purely observational data, a causal DAG is identifiable only up to its Markov equivalence class, and for many ground truth DAGs, the direction of a large portion of the edges will be remained unidentified. The golden standard for learning the causal DAG beyond Markov equivalence is to perform a se…
