Complete classification of Deligne-Mostow lattice representations into PGL(3,C).

This paper introduces lattice representations for efficient discrete learning.

Proof of boundedness of quasimorphisms for certain Lie groups.

We define and prove properties of link lattice complexes for plumbed links.

In a way similar to the continuous case formally, we define in different but equivalent manners the difference discrete connection and curvature on discrete vector bundle over the regular lattice as base space. We deal with the difference operators as the discrete counterparts of the derivatives based upon the differen…

A nilmanifold resp. solvmanifold is a compact homogeneous space of a connected and simply-connected nilpotent resp. solvable Lie group by a lattice, i.e. a discrete co-compact subgroup. There is an easy criterion for nilpotent Lie groups which enables one to decide whether there is a lattice or not. Moreover, it is eas…

Motivated by deformation quantization, we introduced in an earlier work the notion of formal Morita equivalence in the category of $^*$-algebras over a ring $\ring C$ which is the quadratic extension by $\im$ of an ordered ring $\ring R$. The goal of the present paper is twofold. First, we clarify the relationship betw…

Study series invariants of plumbed 3-manifolds using root lattices.

FCA2VEC embeds formal concept analysis data for large datasets.

We construct lattices on six dimensional not completely solvable almost abelian Lie groups, for which the Mostow condition does not hold. For the corresponding compact quotients, we compute the de Rham cohomology (which does not agree in general with the Lie algebra one) and a minimal model. We show that some of these …

For a Lie group $G=\R^{n}\ltimes_φ\R^{m}$ with the semi-simple action $φ:\R^{n}\to {\rm Aut}(\R^{m})$, we show that if $Γ$ is a finite extension of a lattice of $G$ then $K(Γ, 1)$ is formal. Moreover we show that a compact symplectic aspherical manifold with the fundamental group $Γ$ satisfies the hard Lefschetz proper…

Abstract: Proves Tutte's sequence connection to complex space forms.

Transformed geometry into algebra to prove Pick's theorem efficiently.

Study geometric formal metrics and Massey products on Kähler manifolds with torsion.

We investigate some topological properties, in particular formality, of compact Sasakian manifolds. Answering some questions raised by Boyer and Galicki, we prove that all higher (than three) Massey products on any compact Sasakian manifold vanish. Hence, higher Massey products do obstruct Sasakian structures. Using th…

Constructs hyper-Kähler models using Riemann-Hilbert problems.

Group lattices (Cayley digraphs) of a discrete group are in natural correspondence with differential calculi on the group. On such a differential calculus geometric structures can be introduced following general recipes of noncommutative differential geometry. Despite of the non-commutativity between functions and (gen…

We present the Lax pair formalism for certain extension of the continuous limit of the classical Toda lattice hierarchy, provide a well defined notion of tau function for its solutions, and give an explicit formulation of the relationship between the $CP^1$ topological sigma model and the extended Toda hierarchy. We al…

This paper is a tutorial on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and its applications. FCA is an applied branch of Lattice Theory, a mathematical discipline which enables formalisation of concepts as basic units of human thinking and analysing data in the object-attribute form. Originated in early 80s, during the last three d…

Paper solves NGCA for discrete distributions using LLL method.

SLR tackles sparse linear regression problems, showing hardness for efficient algorithms.

Clock theorem extended to knotoids and linkoids.

We investigate triangulations of the two-dimensional sphere and torus with the faces properly colored white and black. We focus on matchings between white triangles and incident vertices. On the torus our objects are perfect pairings, whereas on the sphere this is only true after removing one triangle and its vertices.…

Study infinite-dimensional Toda manifold at irregular singularity, revealing non-uniqueness of formal solutions.

The paper introduces a method to decorrelate circular coordinates using lattice reduction.

New method for quantizing symplectic manifolds with Lagrangian bundles.

Concept Hierarchies and Formal Concept Analysis are theoretically well grounded and largely experimented methods. They rely on line diagrams called Galois lattices for visualizing and analysing object-attribute sets. Galois lattices are visually seducing and conceptually rich for experts. However they present important…

New property identifies arithmetic lattices from nonuniform lattices.

Given for instance a finite volume negatively curved Riemannian manifold $M$, we give a precise relation between the logarithmic growth rates of the excursions into cusps neighborhoods of the strong unstable leaves of negatively recurrent unit vectors of $M$ and their linear divergence rates under the geodesic flow. As…

Research finds bounds for knots in hexagonal lattice and classifies 11-stick knots.

We outline the theory of sets with distributive operations: multishelves and multispindles, with examples provided by semi-lattices, lattices and skew lattices. For every such a structure we define multi-term distributive homology and show some of its properties. The main result is a complete formula for the homology o…

Course on arithmetic lattices at EPFL.

We give a simple example showing that a knot or link diagram that lies in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ lattice is not necessarily the projection of a lattice stick knot or link in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^3$ lattice, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for when a knot or link diagram that lies in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ lat…

New rigidity theorem for product of lattices.

We explore hybrid subgroups of certain non-arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{PU}(2,1)$. We show that all of Mostow's lattices are virtually hybrids; moreover, we show that some of these non-arithmetic lattices are hybrids of two non-commensurable arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{PU}(1,1)$.

This paper studies the covolumes of nonuniform arithmetic lattices in PU(n, 1). We determine the smallest covolume nonuniform arithmetic lattices for each n, the number of minimal covolume lattices for each n, and study the growth of the minimal covolume as n varies. In particular, there is a unique lattice (up to conj…

We give a quantum field theoretic derivation of the formula obeyed by the Ray-Singer torsion on product manifolds. Such a derivation has proved elusive up to now. We use a BRST formalism which introduces the idea of an infinite dimensional Universal Gauge Fermion, and is of independent interest being applicable to situ…

The paper finds incommensurable lattices in complex models of Baumslag-Solitar groups.

Proves a lattice version of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem.

Sequence discriminative training criteria have long been a standard tool in automatic speech recognition for improving the performance of acoustic models over their maximum likelihood / cross entropy trained counterparts. While previously a lattice approximation of the search space has been necessary to reduce computat…

Vertex distortion measures how far lattice knots deviate from straight lines.

Regular integer lattices are characterized by k unit vectors that build up their generator matrices. These have rank k for D-lattices, and are rank-deficient for A-lattices, for E_6 and E_7. We count lattice points inside hypercubes centered at the origin for all three types, as if classified by maximum infinity norm i…

In this paper we use techniques from convex projective geometry to produce many new examples of thin subgroups of lattices in special linear groups that are isomorphic to the fundamental groups of finite volume hyperbolic manifolds. More specifically, we show that for a large class of arithmetic lattices in SO(n,1) it …

We show that the set of even positive definite lattices that arise from smooth, simply-connected 4-manifolds bounded by a fixed homology 3-sphere can depend on more than the ranks of the lattices. We provide two homology 3-spheres with distinct sets of such lattices, each containing a distinct nonempty subset of the ra…

The paper proves residual finiteness of certain lattices and constructs surfaces with specific fundamental groups.

A celebrated theorem of Hadwiger states that the Euler-Poincaré characteristic is the the unique invariant and continuous valuation on the distributive lattice of compact polyhedra in R^n that assigns value one to each convex non-empty such polyhedron. This paper provides an analogue of Hadwiger's result for finitely p…

The cubic lattice stick index of a knot type is the least number of sticks necessary to construct the knot type in the 3-dimensional cubic lattice. We present the cubic lattice stick index of various knots and links, including all (p,p+1)-torus knots, and show how composing and taking satellites can be used to obtain t…

New method finds lattice polygons that can be dissected into triangles with integer areas.
