We consider the regularity of an interface between two incompressible and inviscid fluids flows in the presence of surface tension. We obtain local in time estimates on the interface in H32k+1H^{\frac32k +1} and the velocity fields in H32kH^{\frac32k}. These estimates are obtained using geometric considerations which show th…

We define and study the problem of modular concept learning, that is, learning a concept that is a cross product of component concepts. If an element's membership in a concept depends solely on it's membership in the components, learning the concept as a whole can be reduced to learning the components. We analyze this …

Common models for two-phase lipid bilayer membranes are based on an energy that consists of an elastic term for each lipid phase and a line energy at interfaces. Although such an energy controls only the length of interfaces, the membrane surface is usually assumed to be at least C1C^1 across phase boundaries. We consi…

Artifical Neural Networks are a particular class of learning systems modeled after biological neural functions with an interesting penchant for Hebbian learning, that is "neurons that wire together, fire together". However, unlike their natural counterparts, artificial neural networks have a close and stringent couplin…

We propose that a simple, Lagrangian 2d N=(0,2)\mathcal{N}=(0, 2) duality interface between the 3d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 XYZ model and 3d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SQED can be associated to the simplest triangulated 4-manifold: the 4-simplex. We then begin to flesh out a dictionary between more general triangulated 4-manifolds with boundar…
