The paper geometrically characterizes graded manifolds and proves the Frobenius theorem.
Study on prescribing curvature on specific manifolds with negative Gauduchon degree.
The entropy-degree theorem applies to Alexandrov spaces with curvature constraints.
In this paper, it is shown that every orientable closed 3-manifold maps with nonzero degree onto at most finitely many homeomorphically distinct irreducible non-geometric orientable closed 3-manifolds. Moreover, given any nonzero integer, as a mapping degree up to sign, every orientable closed 3-manifold maps with that…
This paper determines the flexible exponent for non-geometric 3-manifolds.
Maps between surfaces have degree constraints based on their Euler characteristics.
A graph clustering method that moves nodes to highest-degree neighbors.
We study the Vassiliev knot invariant v_2 of degree 2. We present it via the degrees of maps of various configuration spaces related to a knot to products of spheres. This gives rise to numerous geometrical and combinatorial formulas for this invariant.
Paper calculates stable cohomology of universal degree d hypersurfaces.
The study constructs a hyperbolic orbifold to show how certain Salem numbers can be realized geometrically.
We obtain an ordering of closed aspherical 4-manifolds that carry a non-hyperbolic Thurston geometry. As application, we derive that the Kodaira dimension of geometric 4-manifolds is monotone with respect to the existence of maps of non-zero degree.
Study shows no hidden symmetries in specific spacetime metrics.
We re-examine classical mechanics with both commuting and anticommuting degrees of freedom. We do this by defining the phase dynamics of a general Lagrangian system as an implicit differential equation in the spirit of Tulczyjew. Rather than parametrising our basic degrees of freedom by a specified Grassmann algebra, w…
We explain some interesting relations in the degree three bounded cohomology of surface groups. Specifically, we show that if two faithful Kleinian surface group representations are quasi-isometric, then their bounded fundamental classes are the same in bounded cohomology. This is novel in the setting that one end is d…
Transformers reduce redundancy by focusing on invariant relational quantities.
A connected combinatorial 2-manifold is called degree-regular if each of its vertices have the same degree. A connected combinatorial 2-manifold is called weakly regular if it has a vertex-transitive automorphism group. Clearly, a weakly regular combinatorial 2-manifold is degree-regular and a degree-regular combinator…
Kontsevich's formula for a deformation quantization of Poisson structures involves a Feynman series of graphs, with the weights given by some complicated integrals (using certain pullbacks of the standard angle form on a circe). We explain the geometric meaning of this series as degrees of maps of some grand configurat…
The paper studies the locus in the rank 2 Higgs bundle moduli space corresponding to points which are critical for d of the Poisson commuting functions. These correspond to the Higgs field vanishing on a divisor of degree D. The degree D critical locus has an induced integrable system related to K(-D)-twisted Higgs bun…
A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic triangulation with respect to a constant curvature metric on , and we list the …
With the renewed and growing interest in geometric continuity in mind, this article gives a general definition of geometrically continuous polygonal surfaces and geometrically continuous spline functions on them. Polynomial splines defined by G1 gluing data in terms of rational functions are analyzed further. A general…
New bounds on mapping degrees for geometric 3-manifolds.
Study geometric manifolds in arbitrary dimensions, focusing on maps and diffeomorphisms.
Study geometric flows with varying parameters and prove continuous dependence.
Higher dimensional graphs can be used to colour two-dimensional geometric graphs. If G the boundary of a three dimensional graph H for example, we can refine the interior until it is colourable with 4 colours. The later goal is achieved if all interior edge degrees are even. Using a refinement process which cuts the in…
For a branched cover between two closed orientable surfaces, the Riemann-Hurwitz formula relates the Euler characteristics of the surfaces, the total degree of the cover, and the total length of the partitions of the degree given by the local degrees at the preimages of the branching points. A very old problem asks whe…
The study counts ends on shrinkers using geometric covering methods.
Maps between non-compact surfaces can have geometric kernels under certain conditions.
We give estimates for the eigenvalues of multi-form modified Dirac operators which are constructed from a standard Dirac operator with the addition of a Clifford algebra element associated to a multi-degree form. In particular such estimates are presented for modified Dirac operators with a -degree form $0\leq k\leq…
Unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry.
We give a geometric model for a tube category in terms of homotopy classes of oriented arcs in an annulus with marked points on its boundary. In particular, we interpret the dimensions of extension groups of degree 1 between indecomposable objects in terms of negative geometric intersection numbers between correspondin…
We simplify supergravity in 10D using geometric insights.
The notion of a higher bundle gerbe is introduced to give a geometric realization of the higher degree integral cohomology of certain manifolds. We consider examples using the infinite dimensional spaces arising in gauge theories.
Paper connects free-energy and low-degree hardness in high-dimensional statistics.
New geometric metrics improve Bayesian optimization performance evaluation.
We show that uniformly finite homology of products of trees vanishes in all degrees except degree , where it is infinite dimensional. Our method is geometric and applies to several large scale homology theories, including almost equivariant homology and controlled coarse homology. As an application we determine …
Unpublished results of S Straus and W Browder state that two notions of homotopy equivalence for manifolds with smooth group actions - isovariant and equivariant - often coincide under a condition called the Gap Hypothesis; the proofs use deep results in geometric topology. This paper analyzes the difference between th…
The study explores which sets of integers can be realized as the degrees of maps between manifolds.
We prove that the Gromov-Hausdorff compactification of the moduli space of Kahler-Einstein Del Pezzo surfaces in each degree agrees with certain algebro-geometric compactification. In particular, this recovers Tian's theorem on the existence of Kahler-Einstein metrics on smooth Del Pezzo surfaces and classifies the deg…
New algebraic structures extend Courant algebroids to higher multi-Courant algebroids.
Study shows non-trivial homology classes in certain symmetric manifolds.
We define a new class of irreducible groups, called groups not infinite-index presentable by products or not IIPP. We prove that certain aspherical manifolds with fundamental groups not IIPP do not admit maps of non-zero degree from direct products. This extends previous results of Kotschick and Loeh, providing new cla…

The paper studies geometric constants under modified Ricci flows with variable parameters.
Study the expressivity and training complexity of polynomial neural networks.
The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, it provides a review of the links between random tensor models, seen as quantum gravity theories, and the PL-manifolds representation by means of edge-colored graphs (crystallization theory). On the other hand, the core of the paper is to establish results about the to…
The aim of this paper is to extend basic understanding of Engel structures through developing geometric constructions which are canonical to a certain degree and the dynamics of Cauchy characteristics in the transverse spaces which may exhibit elliptic, parabolic, or hyperbolic natures in typical cases.
In this paper we compute the Leray Schauder degree for a fourth order elliptic boundary value problem with exponential nonlinearity and Navier boundary condition. This will be made by proving a Poincare'-Hopf type theorem. Moreover by using this result, together with some quantitative results about the formal set of ba…
