CP$^2$ uses geometric information to improve conformal prediction robustness.

The Hopf sign conjecture states that a compact Riemannian 2d-manifold M of positive curvature has Euler characteristic X(M)>0 and that in the case of negative curvature X(M) (-1)^d >0. The Hopf product conjecture asks whether a positive curvature metric can exist on product manifolds like S^2 x S^2. By formulating curv…

Integrates rough geometric forms on manifolds.

We suggest an algorithm allowing to obtain some new integral-geometric formulae from the existing formulae of Crofton type. These new formulae are applied to get smooth versions of BKK theorem. The algorithm is based on the calculations in the ring of normal densities on a manifold.

In this short note we establish an integral geometric inequality in a smooth metric measure space of the nonnegative Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature. This result can be regarded as a mild generalization of the almost Schur theorem due to De Lellis and Topping (Calc. Var., DOI: 10.1007/s00526-011-0413-z).

We establish an integral-geometric formula for minimal two-spheres inside homogeneous three-spheres, and use it to provide a characterisation of each homogeneous metric on the three-dimensional real projective space as the unique metric with the largest possible two-systole among metrics with the same volume in its con…

We consider evolution equations for curves in the 3-dimensional sphere $S^3$ that are invariant under the group $SU(2,1)$ of pseudoconformal transformations, which preserves the standard contact structure on the sphere. In particular, we investigate how invariant evolutions of Legendrian and transverse curves induce we…

Study extends geodesic curvature formula to higher dimensions.

We write the Euler characteristic X(G) of a four dimensional finite simple geometric graph G=(V,E) in terms of the Euler characteristic X(G(w)) of two-dimensional geometric subgraphs G(w). The Euler curvature K(x) of a four dimensional graph satisfying the Gauss-Bonnet relation sum_x K(x) = X(G) can so be rewritten as …

We obtain new general results on the structure of the space of translation invariant continuous valuations on convex sets (a version of the hard Lefschetz theorem). Using these and our previous results we obtain explicit characterization of unitarily invariant translation invariant continuous valuations. It implies new…

Proof shows volumes of certain geometric representations are always integers.

We present a numerical implementation of the geodesic ray transform and its inversion over functions and solenoidal vector fields on two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. For each problem, inversion formulas previously derived in \cite{Pestov2004,Krishnan2010} are implemented in the case of simple and some non-simple m…

Connections between integration along hypersufaces, Radon transforms, and neural networks are exploited to highlight an integral geometric mathematical interpretation of neural networks. By analyzing the properties of neural networks as operators on probability distributions for observed data, we show that the distribu…

The paper introduces a statistical version of contact CR-product for Sasakian statistical manifolds.

We prove that higher moment maps on area measures of a euclidean vector space are injective, while the kernel of the centroid map equals the image of the first variation map. Based on this, we introduce the space of smooth dual area measures on a finite-dimensional euclidean vector space and prove that it admits a natu…

The oloid is the convex hull of two circles with equal radius in perpendicular planes so that the center of each circle lies on the other circle. We calculate the mean width of the oloid in two ways, first via the integral of mean curvature, and then directly. Using this result, the surface area and the volume of the p…

We construct a class of Finsler metrics in three-dimensional space such that all their geodesics are lines, but not all planes are extremal for their Hausdorff area functionals. This shows that if the Hausdorff measure is used as notion of volume on Finsler spaces, then totally geodesic submanifolds are not necessarily…

New proof finds three divergence-free vector fields for any 3D manifold.

In this note we show the following result using the integral-geometric formula of R. Howard: Consider the totally geodesic $\mathbb{R}P^{2m}$ in $\mathbb{C}P^n$. Then it minimizes volume among the isotropic submanifolds in the same $\mathbb{Z}/2$ homology class in $\mathbb{C}P^n$ (but not among all submanifolds in this…

We prove the filling area conjecture in the hyperelliptic case. In particular, we establish the conjecture for all genus 1 fillings of the circle, extending P. Pu's result in genus 0. We translate the problem into a question about closed ovalless real surfaces. The conjecture then results from a combination of two ingr…

Let $(X,0) \subset (\mathbb{R}^n,0)$ be the germ of a closed subanalytic set and let $f$ and $g : (X,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{R},0)$ be two subanalytic functions. Under some conditions, we relate the critical points of $g$ on the real Milnor fibre $X \cap f^{-1}(δ) \cap B_ε$, $0 <| δ| \ll ε\ll 1$, to the topology of thi…

New integration theory on topological spaces, including fractals.

It is known that the Schrödinger flow on a complex Grassmann manifold is equivalent to the matrix non-linear Schrödinger equation and the Ferapontov flow on a principal Adjoint U(n)-orbit is equivalent to the $n$-wave equation. In this paper, we give a systematic method to construct integrable geometric curve flows on …

The paper characterizes curvature of quaternionic skew-Hermitian manifolds and constructs related geometric structures.

The width $w$ of a curve $γ$ in Euclidean space $R^n$ is the infimum of the distances between all pairs of parallel hyperplanes which bound $γ$, while its inradius $r$ is the supremum of the radii of all spheres which are contained in the convex hull of $γ$ and are disjoint from $γ$. We use a mixture of topological and…

Study on integrability of geodesic flows on Heisenberg group.

Study equivalence between Hessian and Born structures on tangent bundles.

We develop two types of integral formulas for the perimeter of a convex body K in planar geometries. We derive Cauchy-type formulas for perimeter in planar Hilbert geometries. Specializing to H^2 we get a formula that appears to be new. We show that it implies the standard Cauchy-Santalo formula involving a central ang…

Given a knot K in an Euclidean space E and a finite dimensional space V of smooth functions on K, we express the expected number of critical points of a random function in V in terms of an integral-geometric invariant of K and V. When V consists of the restrictions to K of homogeneous polynomials of degree d on E, this…

Paper develops a new method for solving IBVPs on star-shaped domains.

This review article intends to introduce the reader to non-integrable geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds and invariant metric connections with torsion, and to discuss recent aspects of mathematical physics--in particular superstring theory--where these naturally appear. Connections with skew-symmetric torsion…

The paper analyzes systoles of complex projective spaces under various metrics.

We define a new notion of total curvature, called net total curvature, for finite graphs embedded in Rn, and investigate its properties. Two guiding principles are given by Milnor's way of measuring the local crookedness of a Jordan curve via a Crofton-type formula, and by considering the double cover of a given graph …

Mathematical framework using Riemannian geometry for intelligence and consciousness.

This work has its origins in an attempt to describe systematically the integrable geometries and gauge theories in dimensions one to four related to twistor theory. In each such dimension, there is a nondegenerate integrable geometric structure, governed by a nonlinear integrable differential equation, and each solutio…

Gauss-Bonnet for simple graphs G assures that the sum of curvatures K(x) over the vertex set V of G is the Euler characteristic X(G). Poincare-Hopf tells that for any injective function f on V the sum of i(f,x) is X(G). We also know that averaging the indices E[i(f,x)] over all functions gives curvature K(x). We explor…
