We study the effect of surgery on transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds. In particular, we investigate the effect of such surgery on open books, the Heegaard Floer contact invariant, and tightness. The overarching theme of this paper is to show that in many contexts, surgery on transverse knots is more natural than s…
We consider a utility-maximization problem in a general semimartingale financial model, subject to constraints on the number of shares held in each risky asset. These constraints are modeled by predictable convex-set-valued processes whose values do not necessarily contain the origin; that is, it may be inadmissible fo…

problem Creating new projectively Anosov flows from existing ones.
method Introducing a generalized Goodman surgery technique for projectively Anosov flows.

Stacked regressions improve predictive accuracy by combining estimators.
problem Improve predictive accuracy in regression models.
method Analogous to least-squares, learn combination weights by minimizing regularized empirical risk with nonnegativity constraint.
result The stacked estimator has strictly smaller population risk than the best single estimator, especially when signal-to-noise ratio is small.

problem Modeling volatility signature plots in LOBs with high-frequency trading dynamics.
method Extended State-Dependent Hawkes Process (ExsdHawkes) with relaxed constraints.
result ExsdHawkes uniquely reproduces volatility signature plots, identifying MLOs as catalysts.
New method uses quotient predictor space for better PAC-Bayes bounds, reducing KL divergence and improving model performance.
problem Overparameterized models with continuous symmetries can lead to biased predictions.
method Perform PAC-Bayesian analysis on quotient predictor space, constructing a canonical prior that reflects model's implicit bias.
result The new prior reduces KL divergence and improves model performance in experiments.
