A new method learns node embeddings for signed directed networks by capturing both first-order and high-order topologies.
problem Learning representative node embeddings for signed directed networks considering both first-order and high-order topologies.
method Proposes a decoupled variational embedding (DVE) method that leverages a specially designed auto-encoder structure to capture both first-order and high-order topologies.
result Extensive experiments on real-world datasets show the effectiveness of DVE in link sign prediction and node recommendation tasks.
A natural way to obtain a system of partial differential equations on a manifold is to vary a suitably defined sesquilinear form. The sesquilinear forms we study are Hermitian forms acting on sections of the trivial Cn-bundle over a smooth m-dimensional manifold without boundary. More specifically, we are…
Determining when two knots are equivalent (more precisely isotopic) is a fundamental problem in topology. Here we formulate this problem in terms of Predicate Calculus, using the formulation of knots in terms of braids and some basic topological results. Concretely, Knot theory is formulated in terms of a language with…
We describe two topologies on the space of unbounded Fredholm operators and we explain their K-theoretic relevance. In the process we also prove a very general result concerning the continuity of families of first order, elliptic boundary value problems.
We define a holographic dual to the Donaldson-Witten topological twist of N=2 gauge theories on a Riemannian four-manifold. This is described by a class of asymptotically locally hyperbolic solutions to N=4 gauged supergravity in five dimensions, with the four-manifold as conformal boundary. Und…
New Skyrme model for contact geometry with topological solutions.
problem Finding BPS solutions for maps between contact 3-manifolds.
method Defined a new Skyrme energy functional for maps between contact 3-manifolds and showed existence of solutions to a first-order self-duality equation.
result Existence of solutions to the Beltrami maps equation, generalizing the original Ferreira-Zakrzewski model.
Contagions such as the spread of popular news stories, or infectious diseases, propagate in cascades over dynamic networks with unobservable topologies. However, "social signals" such as product purchase time, or blog entry timestamps are measurable, and implicitly depend on the underlying topology, making it possible …
Regular homotopy classes of immersions of a 3-sphere in 5-space constitute an infinite cyclic group. The classes containing embeddings form a subgroup of index 24. The obstruction for a generic immersion to be regularly homotopic to an embedding is described in terms of geometric invariants of its self intersection. Ge…
Extends results on smoothability of singular Fano and Calabi-Yau varieties.
problem Smoothability of singular Fano and Calabi-Yau varieties under terminal singularities.
method Generalizes deformation theory results for Calabi-Yau and Fano threefolds to higher dimensions, using higher Du Bois and rational singularities.
result Identifies a class of singularities for which smoothing results hold, including generalized Fano and Calabi-Yau varieties.
Remarkable parallelism between the theory of integrable systems of first-order quasilinear PDE and some old results in projective and affine differential geometry of conjugate nets, Laplace equations, their Bianchi-Baecklund transformations is exposed. These results were recently applied by I.M.Krichever and B.A.Dubrov…
In this article, we introduce rack invariants of oriented Legendrian knots in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space endowed with the standard contact structure, which we call Legendrian racks. These invariants form a generalization of the quandle invariants of knots. These rack invariants do not result in a complete invari…
Over a closed manifold, we consider the sectorial projection of an elliptic pseudo-differential operator A of positive order with two rays of minimal growth. We show that it depends continuously on A when the space of pseudo-differential operators is equipped with a certain topology which we explicitly describe. Our ma…
Over the past few years, neural networks were proven vulnerable to adversarial images: targeted but imperceptible image perturbations lead to drastically different predictions. We show that adversarial vulnerability increases with the gradients of the training objective when viewed as a function of the inputs. Surprisi…
First-order ODEs linked to flat surfaces, leading to integrability.
problem Integrating first-order ODEs.
method Defined Riemannian metrics on variable spaces, studied surface properties, and established connections between Jacobi fields and Lie point symmetries.
result Flat associated surfaces lead to integrable first-order ODEs.
Two classes of methods have been proposed for escaping from saddle points with one using the second-order information carried by the Hessian and the other adding the noise into the first-order information. The existing analysis for algorithms using noise in the first-order information is quite involved and hides the es…
Unknot recognition is one of the fundamental questions in low dimensional topology. In this work, we show that this problem can be encoded as a validity problem in the existential fragment of the first-order theory of real closed fields. This encoding is derived using a well-known result on SU(2) representations of kno…
For the implicit systems of first order ordinary differential equations on the plane there is presented the complete local classification of generic singularities of family of its phase curves up to smooth orbital equivalence. Besides the well known singularities of generic vector fields on the plane and the singularit…
We consider first order expansions of convex penalized estimators in high-dimensional regression problems with random designs. Our setting includes linear regression and logistic regression as special cases. For a given penalty function h and the corresponding penalized estimator β^, we construct a quantity η,…
It is shown that, in the 1-jet space of the circle, the swapping and the flyping procedures, which produce topologically equivalent links, can produce nonequivalent legendrian links. Each component of the links considered is legendrian isotopic to the 1-jet of the 0-function, and thus cannot be distinguished by the cla…
First order discretizations of Langevin diffusion can achieve better generalization error with additional smoothness assumptions.

method Providing a sufficient smoothness condition to show that first order methods can achieve arbitrarily runtime complexity for a given expected generalization error.
result First order methods can achieve arbitrarily runtime complexity with additional smoothness assumptions.
The aim of this paper is fourfold. Firstly, we introduce and study the f-ultra-harmonic maps. Secondly, we recall the geometric dynamics generated by a first order normal PDE system and we give original results regarding the geometric dynamics generated by other first order PDE systems. Thirdly, we determine the Gauss …
In this paper we obtain natural boundary conditions for a large class of variational problems with free boundary values. In comparison with the already existing examples, our framework displays complete freedom concerning the topology of Y, the manifold of dependent and independent variables underlying a given proble…
A geometric multisymplectic formulation of the classical BRST symmetry of constrained first-order classical field theories is described. To effect this we introduce graded analogues of the bundles and manifolds of the multisymplectic formulation of first-order field theories. The Lagrange-d'Alembert formalism is also d…
