Researchers found uncountable harmonic self-maps in complex projective spaces.

In this paper we define strongly projectively flatness of holomorphic maps into the complex Grassmannian manifold, which is a kind of generalization of holomorphic maps into the complex projective space and prove a rigidity of equivariant strongly projectively flat maps of compact simply connected homogeneous Kähler ma…

A projection maps geodesic currents to Teichmüller space.

Study fibrations of projective spaces for maximal representations.

The spaces of linear differential operators on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ acting on tensor densities of degree $λ$ and the space of functions on $T^*{\mathbb{R}}^n$ which are polynomial on the fibers are not isomorphic as modules over the Lie algebra $\Vect({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ of vector fields on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. However, these mo…

This article is a survey of recent work of the authors developing a new approach to quantization based on the equivariance with respect to some Lie group of symmetries. Examples are provided by conformal and projective differential geometry: given a smooth manifold M endowed with a flat conformal/projective structure, …

The paper characterizes groups acting on real projective spaces.

We study the existence of natural and projectively equivariant quantizations for differential operators acting between order 1 vector bundles over a smooth manifold M. To that aim, we make use of the Thomas-Whitehead approach of projective structures and construct a Casimir operator depending on a projective Cartan con…

New Zoll families of minimal spheres found in spheres and projective spaces.

The projection body operator Π, which associates with every convex body in Euclidean space Rn its projection body, is a continuous valuation, it is invariant under translations and equivariant under rotations. It is also well known that Π maps the set of polytopes in Rn into itself. We show that Π is the only non-trivi…

Projections from flats to maximal flats defined and studied.

In this paper, we construct for the first time the projective elliptic genera for a compact oriented manifold equipped with a projective complex vector bundle. Such projective elliptic genera are rational q-series that have topological definition and also have analytic interpretation via the fractional index theorem in…

STAR improves equivariant and invariant representation learning by routing projection heads.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of a projectively equivariant symbol map (in the sense of Lecomte and Ovsienko) for the spaces $D_p$ of differential operators transforming p-forms into functions. These results hold over a smooth manifold endowed with a flat projective structure. As an application, we classify the…

Paper presents a novel hyperbolic neural network for efficient data representation.

Embeds CR manifolds into complex spaces using equivariant actions.

In this paper, a classification of free involutions on 3-dimensional homotopy complex projective spaces is given. By the $\mathbb Z_2$-equivariant Montgomery-Yang correspondence, we obtain all smooth involutions on $S^6$ with fixed-point set an embedded $S^3$.

The existence of a natural and projectively equivariant quantization in the sense of Lecomte [20] was proved recently by M. Bordemann [4], using the framework of Thomas-Whitehead connections. We give a new proof of existence using the notion of Cartan projective connections and we obtain an explicit formula in terms of…

The paper describes hyperkähler geometry of cotangent bundles using rank-1 projections.

Consider a finite dimensional (generally reducible) polynomial representation ρof GL_n. A projective compactification of GL_n is the closure of ρ(GL_n) in the space of all operators defined up to a factor (this class of spaces can be characterized as equivariant projective normal compactifications of GL_n). We give an …

In [3], the authors showed the existence and the uniqueness of a sl(m+1,\R)-equivariant quantization in the non-critical situations. The curved generalization of the sl(m+1,\R)-equivariant quantization is the natural and projectively equivariant quantization. In [1] and [7], the existence of such a quantization was pro…

In this note we prove that toric Kähler metrics on complex projective space which are also $U(n)$-invariant are determined by their equivariant spectrum i.e. the list of eigenvalues of the Laplacian together with weights of the torus representation on the eigenspaces.

We investigate the concept of projectively equivariant quantization in the framework of super projective geometry. When the projective superalgebra pgl(p+1|q) is simple, our result is similar to the classical one in the purely even case: we prove the existence and uniqueness of the quantization except in some critical …

A new method for group invariant machine learning using geometric projections.

In this paper, we analyse the question of existence of a natural and projectively equivariant symbol calculus, using the theory of projective Cartan connections. We establish a close relationship between the existence of such a natural symbol calculus and the existence of an \sl(m+1,\R)-equivariant calculus over \R^{m}…

We show that, for both the conformal and projective groups, all the differential invariants of a generic surface in three-dimensional space can be written as combinations of the invariant derivatives of a single differential invariant. The proof is based on the equivariant method of moving frames.

The spaces of higher-order differential operators (in Dimension 1|2), which are modules over the stringy Lie superalgebra K(2), are isomorphic to the corresponding spaces of symbols as orthosymplectic modules in non resonant cases. Such an osp (2|2)-equivariant quantization, which has been given in second-order differe…

We study the 8 natural GL equivariant geometric realization questions for the space of generalized algebraic curvature tensors. All but one of them is solvable; a non-zero projectively flat Ricci antisymmetric generalized algebraic curvature is not geometrically realizable by a projectively flat Ricci antisymmetric tor…

In this note the fractional analytic index, for a projective elliptic operator associated to an Azumaya bundle, of DG/0402329 is related to the equivariant index of Atiyah and Singer for an associated transversally elliptic operator.

The paper studies equivariant sheaves on toric varieties and their quotients.

The main aim of this paper is to study existence and stability properties of rotationally symmetric proper biharmonic maps between two $m$-dimensional models (in the sense of Greene and Wu). We obtain a complete classification of rotationally symmetric, proper biharmonic conformal diffeomorphisms in the special case th…

The paper explores how equivariant models' biases affect latent representations for better performance.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of a *projectively equivariant symbol map*, which is an isomorphism between the space of bidifferential operators acting on tensor densities over $R^n$ and that of their symbols, when both are considered as modules over an imbedding of $sl(n+1,\R)$ into polynomial vector fields. Th…

The paper creates a deformation retraction for homeomorphisms of the projective plane.

We extend projectively equivariant quantization and symbol calculus to symbols of pseudo-differential operators. An explicit expression in terms of hypergeometric functions with noncommutative arguments is given. Some examples are worked out, one of them yielding a quantum length element on $S^3$.

Capsule networks are constrained by the parameter-expensive nature of their layers, and the general lack of provable equivariance guarantees. We present a variation of capsule networks that aims to remedy this. We identify that learning all pair-wise part-whole relationships between capsules of successive layers is ine…

We use contact geometry to describe the monoid of projectively equivariant meromorphic differential operators on a complex curve, quantization of which generalizes known constructions of classical equivariants to non-commutative function algebras in several variables.

We develop the connection between equivariant completions of algebraic homogeneous spaces of reductive groups and lower bounds for the Mabuchi energy of a polarized manifold over the space of Bergman metrics. We provide a new definition of Tian's CM Polarization and discuss its properties.

By computing certain cohomology of Vect(M) of smooth vector fields we prove that on 1-dimensional manifolds M there is no quantization map intertwining the action of non-projective embeddings of the Lie algebra sl(2) into the Lie algebra Vect(M). Contrariwise, for projective embeddings sl(2)-equivariant quantization ex…

We prove inverse spectral results for differential operators on manifolds and orbifolds invariant under a torus action. These inverse spectral results involve the asymptotic equivariant spectrum, which is the spectrum itself together with "very large" weights of the torus action on eigenspaces. More precisely, we show …

We define the unique (up to normalization) symbol map from the space of linear differential operators on $R^n$ to the space of polynomial on fibers functions on $T^* R^n$, equivariant with respect to the Lie algebra of projective transformations $sl_{n+1}\subset\Vect(R^n)$. We apply the constructed $sl_{n+1}$-invariant…

The equivariant CR minimal immersions from the round $3$-sphere $S^3$ into the complex projective space $\mathbb CP^n$ have been classified by the third author explicitly (J London Math Soc 68: 223-240, 2003). In this paper, by employing the equivariant condition which implies that the induced metric is left-invariant,…

Proves conjecture on deformation invariance of big fundamental groups.

The paper studies foliations on homogeneous spaces and identifies specific foliations.

We obtain a topological and equivariant classification of closed, connected three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces admitting a local isometric circle action. We show, in particular, that such spaces are homeomorphic to connected sums of some closed 3-manifold with a local circle action and finitely many copies of the susp…

Non-Abelian actions are resolved using equivariant K-theory and delocalized cohomology.

Let $M$ be a manifold homotopy equivalent to the complex projective space $\C P^m$. Petrie conjectured that $M$ has standard total Pontrjagin class if $M$ admits a non-trivial action by $S^1$. We prove the conjecture for $m<12$ under the assumption that the action extends to a nice $Pin(2)$-action with fixed point. The…
