New geometric mechanism solves four envelope problems.

We consider geodesic flows between hypersurfaces in $\R^n$. However, rather than consider using geodesics in $\R^n$, which are straight lines, we consider an induced flow using geodesics between the tangent spaces of the hypersurfaces viewed as affine hyperplanes. For naturality, we want the geodesic flow to be invaria…

Study hyperplanes in abelian groups and their signatures for manifold identification.

A translating soliton is a hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ such that the family $M_t= M- t \,\mathbf{e}_{n+1}$ is a mean curvature flow, i.e., such that normal component of the velocity at each point is equal to the mean curvature at that point $\mathbf{H}=\mathbf{e}_{n+1}^{\perp}.$ In this paper we obtain a cha…

This paper studies ruled real hypersurfaces in indefinite complex projective space.

We study the singularities of the members of the family of height functions on Whitney umbrellas, which is also known as cross-caps, and show that the family of the height functions is a versal unfolding. Moreover, we study local intersections of a Whitney umbrella with a hyperplane through its singular point.

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

Paper finds relations between Willmore-type energies, weighted areas, and vertical potential energies for cylindrical critical points.

We characterize when the level sets of a continuous quasi-monotone functional defined on a suitable convex subset of a normed space can be uniquely represented by a family of bounded continuous functionals. Furthermore, we investigate how regularly these functionals depend on the parameterizing level. Finally, we show …

Novel neural network approach on hyperbolic and SPD spaces.

In this note we prove a global rigidity result for asymptotically flat, scalar flat Euclidean hypersurfaces with a minimal horizon lying in a hyperplane, under a natural ellipticity condition. As a consequence we obtain, in the context of the Riemannian Penrose conjecture, a local rigidity result for the family of exte…

Survey on hyperplane arrangements and their topology.

Segre varieties' hyperplane sections are unstable under certain conditions.

Correct method found for drawing precise envelope of straight lines.

Church-Ellenberg-Farb used the language of FI-modules to prove that the cohomology of certain sequences of hyperplane arrangements with S_n-actions satisfies representation stability. Here we lift their results to the level of the arrangements themselves, and define when a collection of arrangements is "finitely genera…

We extend the theoretical analysis of a recently proposed single subspace learning algorithm, called Dual Principal Component Pursuit (DPCP), to the case where the data are drawn from of a union of hyperplanes. To gain insight into the properties of the $\ell_1$ non-convex problem associated with DPCP, we develop a geo…

We introduce the polygonalisation complex of a surface, a cube complex whose vertices correspond to polygonalisations. This is a geometric model for the mapping class group and it is motivated by works of Harer, Mosher and Penner. Using properties of the flip graph, we show that the midcubes in the polygonalisation com…

The Lefschetz hyperplane section theorem asserts that an affine variety is homotopy equivalent to a space obtained from its generic hyperplane section by attaching some cells. The purpose of this paper is to describe attaching maps of these cells for the complement of a complex hyperplane arrangement defined over real …

We prove that the topological complexity of (a motion planning algorithm on) the complement of generic complex essential hyperplane arrangement of $n$ hyperplanes in an $r$-dimensional linear space is min$\{n+1,2r\}$.

We prove that the hyperplanes parallel to ${\bf e}_{n+1}$ are the unique examples of translating solitons $C^1-$asymptotic to two half-hyperplanes outside a vertical cylinder in $\R^{n+1}$.

We define several homology theories for central hyperplane arrangements, categorifying well-known polynomial invariants including the characteristic polynomial, Poincare polynomial, and Tutte polynomial. We consider basic algebraic properties of such chain complexes, including long-exact sequences associated to deletio…

Let $D_n$ be the $n$-punctured disk. We prove that a family of essential simple arcs starting and ending at the boundary and pairwise intersecting at most twice is of size at most $\binom{n+1}{3}$. On the way, we also show that any nontrivial square complex homeomorphic to a disk whose hyperplanes are simple arcs inter…

A theorem divides hyperplanes evenly with a line through the origin.

We show some characterizations of hyperspheres in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\Bbb E}^{n+1}$ with intrinsic and extrinsic properties such as the $n$-dimensional area of the sections cut off by hyperplanes, the $(n+1)$-dimensional volume of regions between parallel hyperplanes, and the $n$-dimensional surf…

We compute the cohomology with group ring coefficients of the complement of a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in a finite dimensional complex vector space. It is nonzero in exactly one degree, namely the degree equal to the rank of the hyperplane arrangement.

Study of CR twistor model $Q^{2,2}$ and its sections.

Our aim is to generalize the result that two generic complex line arrangements are equivalent. In fact for a line arrangement A we associate its defining polynomial, the product of a_ix+b_iy+c_i, so that A = (f=0). We prove that the defining polynomials of two generic line arrangements are, up to a small deformation, t…

We examine the existence of tangent hyperplanes to subriemannian balls. Strictly abnormal shortest paths are allowed

To construct flexible nonlinear predictive distributions, the paper introduces a family of softplus function based regression models that convolve, stack, or combine both operations by convolving countably infinite stacked gamma distributions, whose scales depend on the covariates. Generalizing logistic regression that…

In this paper we show that an immersed nontrivial translating soliton for mean curvature flow in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$($n=2,3)$ is a grim hyperplane if and only if it is mean convex and has weighted total extrinsic curvature of at most quadratic growth. For an embedded translating soliton $Σ$ with nonnegative scalar curva…

Study on isoparametric and constant-curvature hypersurfaces in Finsler spaces.

We consider the Frobenius algebra of functions on the critical set of the master function of a weighted arrangement of hyperplanes in $\C^k$ with normal crossings. We construct two potential functions (of first and second kind) of variables labeled by hyperplanes of the arrangement and prove that the matrix coefficient…

Considering the classification problem, we summarize the nonparallel support vector machines with the nonparallel hyperplanes to two types of frameworks. The first type constructs the hyperplanes separately. It solves a series of small optimization problems to obtain a series of hyperplanes, but is hard to measure the …

Efficiently clusters large datasets using low-density hyperplanes.

We consider a twisted version of the Hurewicz map on the complement of a hyperplane arrangement. The purpose of this paper is to prove surjectivity of the twisted Hurewicz map under some genericity conditions. As a corollary, we also prove that a generic section of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement has non-tri…

The fundamental group of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement plays an important role in studying the corresponding arrangements. In particular, for large families of hyperplane arrangements, this fundamental group, being isomorphic to the fundamental group of a complement of a line arrangement, has some remarkab…

We show that certain aspherical manifolds arising from hyperplane arrangements in negatively curved manifolds have relatively hyperbolic fundamental group.

The Sample Compression Conjecture of Littlestone & Warmuth has remained unsolved for over two decades. This paper presents a systematic geometric investigation of the compression of finite maximum concept classes. Simple arrangements of hyperplanes in Hyperbolic space, and Piecewise-Linear hyperplane arrangements, are …

In hyperbolic space, the angle of intersection and distance classify pairs of totally geodesic hyperplanes. A similar algebraic invariant classifies pairs of hyperplanes in the Einstein universe. In dimension 3, symplectic splittings of a 4-dimensional real symplectic vector space model Einstein hyperplanes and the inv…

In this article, we completely determine which log Fano hyperplane arrangements are uniformly K-stable, K-stable, K-polystable, K-semistable or not.

We study the problem of finding generators for the fundamental group G of a space of the following sort: one removes a family of complex hyperplanes from n dimensional complex vector space, or n dimensional complex hyperbolic space, or the Hermitian symmetric space for O(2,n), and then takes the quotient by a discrete …

The paper proves a margin inequality for separating hyperplanes, useful for analyzing algorithmic bias.

Associating distinct groups of objects (clusters) with contiguous regions of high probability density (high-density clusters), is central to many statistical and machine learning approaches to the classification of unlabelled data. We propose a novel hyperplane classifier for clustering and semi-supervised classificati…

We study biharmonic hypersurfaces in a generic Riemannian manifold. We first derive an invariant equation for such hypersurfaces generalizing the biharmonic hypersurface equation in space forms studied in \cite{Ji2}, \cite{CH}, \cite{CMO1}, \cite{CMO2}. We then apply the equation to show that the generalized Chen's con…

We prove that horospheres, hyperspheres and hyperplanes in a hyperbolic space H n , n $\ge$ 3, admit no perturbations with compact support which increase their mean curvature. is is an extension of the analogous result in the Euclidean spaces, due to M. Gromov, which states that a hyperplane in a Euclidean space R n ad…
