We study the topology of the inertia space of a smooth $G$-manifold $M$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group. We construct an explicit Whitney stratification of the inertia space, demonstrating that the inertia space is a triangulable differentiable stratified space. In addition, we demonstrate a de Rham theorem for differ…

For a complex projective space the inertia group, the homotopy inertia group and the concordance inertia group are isomorphic. In complex dimension 4n+1, these groups are related to computations in stable cohomotopy. Using stable homotopy theory, we make explicit computations to show that the inertia group is non-trivi…

In this paper, we investigate the attractive properties of the proximal gradient algorithm with inertia. Notably, we show that using alternated inertia yields monotonically decreasing functional values, which contrasts with usual accelerated proximal gradient methods. We also provide convergence rates for the algorithm…

The paper computes inertia groups of certain high-dimensional manifolds.

This paper deals with certain results on the number of smooth structures on quaternionic projective spaces, obtained through the computation of inertia group and its analogues, which in turn are computed using techniques from stable homotopy theory. We show that the concordance inertia group is trivial in dimension 20,…

Study ramification in knot groups through finite covers and their quotients.

We use the Grauert--Grothendieck complex on differentiable spaces to study basic relative forms on the inertia space of a compact Lie group action on a manifold. We prove that the sheaf complex of basic relative forms on the inertia space is a fine resolution of Bryliski's sheaf of functions on the inertia space.

The paper studies a natural $n$-dimensional generalization of the classical nonholonomic Chaplygin sphere problem. We prove that for a specific choice of the inertia operator, the restriction of the generalized problem onto zero value of the SO(n-1)-momentum mapping becomes an integrable Hamiltonian system after an app…

Toda flow explained as a porous medium equation.

Proves triviality of inertia groups in high-dimensional manifolds.

The paper classifies ruled surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space that are stationary for the moment of inertia.

We introduce the notions of a differentiable groupoid and a differentiable stratified groupoid, generalizations of Lie groupoids in which the spaces of objects and arrows have the structures of differentiable spaces, respectively differentiable stratified spaces, compatible with the groupoid structure. After studying b…

We show that if $M$ and $N$ have the same homotopy type of simply connected closed smooth $m$-manifolds such that the integral and mod-$2$ cohomologies of $M$ vanish in odd degrees, then their homotopy inertia groups are equal. Let $M^{2n}$ be a closed $(n-1)$-connected $2n$-dimensional smooth manifold. We show that, f…

New approach limits regret in non-stationary bandits.

In this article we study the class of right-invariant, fractional order Sobolev-type metrics on groups of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold M. Our main result concerns well-posedness properties for the corresponding Euler-Arnold equations, also called the EPDiff equations, which are of importance in mathematical ph…

Let $M^{2n}$ denote a closed $(n-1)$-connected smoothable topological $2n$-manifold. We show that the group $\mathcal{C}(M^{2n})$ of concordance classes of smoothings of $M^{2n}$ is isomorphic to the group of smooth homotopy spheres $\overlineΘ_{2n}$ for $n=4$ or $5$, the concordance inertia group $I_c(M^{2n})=0$ for $…

The paper computes smooth structures on a specific product manifold.

We consider coupled nonholonomic LR systems on the product of Lie groups. As examples, we study $n$-dimensional variants of the spherical support system and the rubber Chaplygin sphere. For a special choice of the inertia operator, it is proved that the rubber Chaplygin sphere, after reduction and a time reparametrizat…

In this paper a neural network heuristic dynamic programing (HDP) is used for optimal control of the virtual inertia based control of grid connected three phase inverters. It is shown that the conventional virtual inertia controllers are not suited for non inductive grids. A neural network based controller is proposed …

Optimization of Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) currently relies on real-valued latent weights to accumulate small update steps. In this paper, we argue that these latent weights cannot be treated analogously to weights in real-valued networks. Instead their main role is to provide inertia during training. We interpre…

The Wall surgery obstruction groups have two interesting geometrically defined subgroups, consisting of the surgery obstructions between closed manifolds, and the inertial elements. We show that the inertia group $I_{n+1}(π,w)$ and the closed manifold subgroup $C_{n+1}(π,w)$ are equal in dimensions $n+1\geq 6$, for any…

Let $(X,ω)$ be a symplectic orbifold which is locally like the quotient of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ action on $\reals^n$. Let $A^{((\hbar))}_X$ be a deformation quantization of $X$ constructed via the standard Fedosov method with characteristic class being $ω$. In this paper, we construct a universal deformation of the algebra…

We study the rolling of the Chaplygin ball in $\mathbb R^n$ over a fixed $(n-1)$--dimensional sphere without slipping and without slipping and twisting. The problems can be naturally considered within a framework of appropriate modifications of the L+R and LR systems -- well known systems on Lie groups groups with an i…

Two classification results for stationary surfaces of least moment of inertia.

This paper explains why Adam generalizes worse than SGD by analyzing its components.

Planes and spheres are the only stationary surfaces with constant Gauss curvature.

We introduce and study a new class of homotopy spheres called Farrell-Jones spheres. Using Farrell-Jones sphere we construct examples of closed negatively curved manifolds $M^{2n}$, where $n=7$ or $8$, which are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to complex hyperbolic manifolds, thereby giving a partial answer to a que…

Correspondence analysis (CA) is a multivariate statistical tool used to visualize and interpret data dependencies by finding maximally correlated embeddings of pairs of random variables. CA has found applications in fields ranging from epidemiology to social sciences; however, current methods do not scale to large, hig…

We study a time reparametrisation of the Newton type equations on Riemannian manifolds slightly modifying the Chaplygin multiplier method, allowing us to consider the Chaplygin method and the Maupertuis principle within a unified framework. As an example, the reduced nonholonomic problem of rolling without slipping and…

In this paper we define and study the "ghost loop orbifold" of an orbifold $X$ consisting of those loops that remain constant in the coarse moduli space of $X$. We construct a configuration space model for the ghost loop orbifold using an idea of G. Segal. From this we exhibit the relation between the Hochschild and cy…

Identifying the location of a disturbance and its magnitude is an important component for stable operation of power systems. We study the problem of localizing and estimating a disturbance in the interconnected power system. We take a model-free approach to this problem by using frequency data from generators. Specific…

GeoHNN models physics laws for stable, accurate predictions.

We study the effect of investor inertia on stock price fluctuations with a market microstructure model comprising many small investors who are inactive most of the time. It turns out that semi-Markov processes are tailor made for modelling inert investors. With a suitable scaling, we show that when the price is driven …

Extends Euler's problem to Lorentz-Minkowski plane.

Model predicts time evolution of supply chain networks under varying costs.

The simplest non-collision solutions of the N-body problem are the "relative equilibria", in which each body follows a circular orbit around the centre of mass and the shape formed by the N bodies is constant. It is easy to see that the moment of inertia of such a solution is constant. In 1970, D. Saari conjectured tha…

In this paper we show that, for a sub-Laplacian $Δ$ on a $3$-dimensional manifold $M$, no point interaction centered at a point $q_0\in M$ exists. When $M$ is complete w.r.t. the associated sub-Riemannian structure, this means that $Δ$ acting on $C^\infty_0(M\setminus\{q_0\})$ is essentially self-adjoint. A particular …

The paper establishes a connection between minimal surfaces and a family of stationary surfaces via inversions.

Extended surgery theory proves diffeomorphism for simply-connected 4k-manifolds.

We consider an SO(4) Euler rigid body with two 'inertia momenta' coinciding. We study it from the point of view of bihamiltonian geometry. We show how to algebraically integrate it by means of the method of separation of variables.

Classical dynamical equations describing a certain version of the nonHamiltonian interaction of two rotators (Euler tops with completely degenerate inertia tensors) are considered. The simplest case is integrated. It is shown that the dynamics is almost periodic with periods depending on the initial data.

New Euler characteristics for groupoids generalize orbifold Euler characteristics.

The paper connects PSO and CBO methods using stochastic modeling and mean-field limits.

One approach to the analysis of stochastic fluctuations in market prices is to model characteristics of investor behaviour and the complex interactions between market participants, with the aim of extracting consequences in the aggregate. This agent-based viewpoint in finance goes back at least to the work of Garman (1…

The study classifies normal subgroups of mapping class groups of surfaces with Cantor subsets.

The paper extends Euler's problem to hyperbolic and spherical planes.

We construct the hyperbolic plane with its geodesic flow as the scale plus symmetry reduction of a three-body problem in the Euclidean plane. The potential is $-I/Δ^2$ where $I$ is the triangle's moment of inertia and $Δ$ its area. The reduction method uses the Jacobi-Maupertuis metric, following the author's earlier p…

Expectation-Maximization (EM) is a prominent approach for parameter estimation of hidden (aka latent) variable models. Given the full batch of data, EM forms an upper-bound of the negative log-likelihood of the model at each iteration and updates to the minimizer of this upper-bound. We first provide a "model level" in…
