This note has an experimental nature and contains no new theorems. We introduce certain moves for classical knot diagrams that for all the very many examples we have tested them on give a monotonic complete simplification. A complete simplification of a knot diagram D is a sequence of moves that transform D into a diag…

We establish a full hh-principle (C0C^0-close, relative, parametric) for the simplification of singularities of Lagrangian and Legendrian fronts. More precisely, we prove that if there is no homotopy theoretic obstruction to simplifying the singularities of tangency of a Lagrangian or Legendrian submanifold with respe…

The second author previously discussed how classical complexity separation conjectures, we call them "axioms", have implications in three manifold topology: polynomial length stings of operations which preserve certain Jones polynomial evaluations cannot produce exponential simplifications of link diagrams. In this pap…

Two smooth manifolds M and N are called R-diffeomorphic if their product with the real line are diffeomorphic. We consider the following simplification problem: does R-diffeomorphism imply diffeomorphism or homeomorphism? For compact manifolds, analysis of this problem relies on some of the main achievements of the the…

result Simplified RF predictions can be similar to or exceed original ones in forecasting performance.

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) still is the workhorse for many practical problems. However, it converges slow, and can be difficult to tune. It is possible to precondition SGD to accelerate its convergence remarkably. But many attempts in this direction either aim at solving specialized problems, or result in signif…

Both classical and virtual knots arise as formal Gauss diagrams modulo some abstract moves corresponding to Reidemeister moves. If we forget about both over/under crossings structure and writhe numbers of knots modulo the same Reidemeister moves, we get a dramatic simplification of virtual knots, which kills all classi…

We give a new algorithm to simplify a given triangulation with respect to a given curve. The simplification uses flips together with powers of Dehn twists in order to complete in polynomial time in the bit-size of the curve.

We give a proof that the geometric K-homology theory for finite CW-complexes defined by Baum and Douglas is isomorphic to Kasparov's K-homology. The proof is a simplification of more elaborate arguments which deal with the geometric formulation of equivariant K-homology theory.

A method to improve LLMs by automating the construction of a mixture of expert prompts.

The purpose of this short note is to relate a representation formula due to the Author and P. Romon for Lagrangian surfaces (see math.DG/0009202) to a more general Weierstrass representation type formula found by Konopelchenko for surfaces in 4-dimensional space (see math.DG/9807129). Simplifications are pointed out.

We describe the Polyak-Viro arrow diagram formulas for the coefficients of the Conway polynomial. As a consequence, we obtain the Conway polynomial as a state sum over some subsets of the crossings of the knot diagram. It turns out to be a simplification of a special case of Jaeger's state model for the HOMFLY polynomi…

This is an exposition of a proof of the Madsen-Weiss Theorem, which asserts that the homology of mapping class groups of surfaces, in a stable dimension range, is isomorphic to the homology of a certain infinite loopspace that arises naturally when one applies the "scanning method".
