New coefficient detects irrational rotation behavior on infinite-type surfaces.

Study symplectic and Hamiltonian actions on irrational ruled surfaces, proving existence and non-existence of extensions.

Given a discrete subgroup of the isometries of n-dimensional hyperbolic space there is always a region kept precisely invariant under the stabilizer of a parabolic fixed point, called the Margulis region. While in dimensions 2 and 3 this region is a horoball, it has in general a more complicated shape due to the existe…

We review the state of the art of our understanding of the conformal geometry of the irrational rotation algebra. This was sparked by a paper by Cohen and Connes. We review the more recent progress made by Connes and the second named author and the work of the authors of this review.

We study the geometry of the Margulis region associated with an irrational screw translation $g$ acting on the 4-dimensional real hyperbolic space. This is an invariant domain with the parabolic fixed point of $g$ on its boundary which plays the role of an invariant horoball for a translation in dimensions $\leq 3$. Th…

On a Riemannian 2-torus $(T^2,g)$ we study the geodesic flow in the case of low complexity described by zero topological entropy. We show that this assumption implies a nearly integrable behavior. In our previous paper \cite{GK} we already obtained that the asymptotic direction and therefore also the rotation number ex…

Study tiling spaces over irrational tori using diffeological classification.

In this paper we relate the study of actions of discrete groups over connected manifolds to that of their orbit spaces seen as differentiable stacks. We show that the orbit stack of a discrete dynamical system on a simply connected manifold encodes the dynamics up to conjugation and inversion. We also prove a generaliz…

We describe Veech groups of flat surfaces arising from irrational angled polygonal billiards or irreducible stable abelian differentials. For irrational polygonal billiards, we prove that these groups are non-discrete subgroups of SO(2,R) and we calculate their rank.

Following a Geometrical Brownian Motion extension into an Irrational Fractional Brownian Motion model, we re-examine agent behaviour reacting to time dependent news on the log-returns thereby modifying a financial market evolution. We specifically discuss the role of financial news or economic information positive or n…

Study irrational pencils on complex manifolds, finding non-finitely generated homology.

We show that the Novikov-Shubin invariant of an element of the integral group ring of the lamplighter group Z_2 \wr Z can be irrational. This disproves a conjecture of Lott and Lueck. Furthermore we show that every positive real number is equal to the Novikov-Shubin invariant of some element of the real group ring of Z…

We prove that there are examples of finitely generated groups G together with group ring elements Q \in \bbQ G for which the von Neumann dimension \dim_{LG}\ker Q is irrational, so (in conjunction with other known results) answering a question of Atiyah.

We study the structure of the stable norm of Finsler metrics on the 2-torus with a focus to points of irrational slope. By our results, the stable norm detects KAM-tori and hyperbolicity in the geodesic flow. Moreover, we study the stable norm in some natural examples.

We give examples of finitely presented groups containing elements with irrational (in fact, transcendental) stable commutator length, thus answering in the negative a question of M. Gromov. Our examples come from 1-dimensional dynamics, and are related to the generalized Thompson groups studied by M. Stein, I. Liousse …

Estimates dimensions of maximal simplices for rational and irrational trees in Outer space.

In this paper, we prove that on every Finsler $n$-sphere $(S^n, F)$ for $n\ge 6$ with reversibility $λ$ and flag curvature $K$ satisfying $(\fracλ{λ+1})^2<K\le 1$, either there exist infinitely many prime closed geodesics or there exist $[\frac{n}{2}]-2$ closed geodesics possessing irrational average indices. If in add…

Modeling preference rankings with salient features to explain irrational choices.

Standard economic theory assumes that agents in markets behave rationally. However, the observation of extremely large fluctuations in the price of financial assets that are not correlated to changes in their fundamental value, as well as the extreme instance of financial bubbles and crashes, imply that markets (at lea…

In this paper, we present a multi-period trading model by assuming that traders face not only asymmetric information but also heterogenous prior beliefs, under the requirement that the insider publicly disclose his stock trades after the fact. We show that there is an equilibrium in which the irrational insider camoufl…

We develop a model to study the role of rationality in economics and biology. The model's agents differ continuously in their ability to make rational choices. The agents' objective is to ensure their individual survival over time or, equivalently, to maximize profits. In equilibrium, however, rational agents who maxim…

Researchers calculate Morse index and nullity for two specific minimal hypersurfaces.

We introduce a framework for coverings of noncommutative spaces. Moreover, we study noncommutative coverings of irrational quantum tori and characterize all such coverings that are connected in a reasonable sense.

Accurately predicting future behaviors of surrounding vehicles is an essential capability for autonomous vehicles in order to plan safe and feasible trajectories. The behaviors of others, however, are full of uncertainties. Both rational and irrational behaviors exist, and the autonomous vehicles need to be aware of th…

Different models to study the wealth distribution in an artificial society have considered a transactional dynamics as the driving force. Those models include a risk aversion factor, but also a finite probability of favoring the poorer agent in a transaction. Here we study the case where the partners in the transaction…

Investors in Bitcoin exhibit the disposition effect, selling winners and holding losers.

Study on knots and dynamics on three-sphere, linking bounds, and upper action bounds.

In the recent paper \cite{LoD1}, we classified closed geodesics on Finsler manifolds into rational and irrational two families, and gave a complete understanding on the index growth properties of iterates of rational closed geodesics. This study yields that a rational closed geodesic can not be the only closed geodesic…

A new transform links rotating calorons to solutions of a differential equation.

We define general rotational surfaces of elliptic and hyperbolic type in the pseudo-Euclidean 4-space with neutral metric which are analogous to the general rotational surfaces of C. Moore in the Euclidean 4-space. We study Lorentz general rotational surfaces with plane meridian curves and give the complete classificat…

Symplectic embeddings of balls into specific manifolds are studied, with restrictions and obstructions identified.

General rotational surfaces as a source of examples of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space have been introduced by C. Moore. In this paper we consider the analogue of these surfaces in the Minkowski 4-space. On the base of our invariant theory of spacelike surfaces we study general rotational surfaces with…

Rotation systems can't always be drawn in surfaces.

Improved DRQN-ARBR model for better stock trading performance.

This paper proposes a set of rules to revise various neural networks for 3D point cloud processing to rotation-equivariant quaternion neural networks (REQNNs). We find that when a neural network uses quaternion features under certain conditions, the network feature naturally has the rotation-equivariance property. Rota…

RotEqNet preserves rotation symmetry in fluid systems using high-order tensors.

The rotation prediction (Rotation) is a simple pretext-task for self-supervised learning (SSL), where models learn useful representations for target vision tasks by solving pretext-tasks. Although Rotation captures information of object shapes, it hardly captures information of textures. To tackle this problem, we intr…

The paper applies Clairaut's theorem to rotational surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 4-space.

Convolutional networks are successful due to their equivariance/invariance under translations. However, rotatable data such as images, volumes, shapes, or point clouds require processing with equivariance/invariance under rotations in cases where the rotational orientation of the coordinate system does not affect the m…

We present a construction of complete self-dual Einstein metrics of negative scalar curvature on an uncountable family of manifolds of infinite topological type, which are enumerated by continued fraction expansions of irrational numbers. These manifolds may be regarded as limits of the resolutions of cyclic quotient s…

We present a countably infinite number of new explicit co-homogeneity one Sasaki-Einstein metrics on S^2 x S^3, in both the quasi-regular and irregular classes. These give rise to new solutions of type IIB supergravity which are expected to be dual to N=1 superconformal field theories in four-dimensions with compact or…

We consider $n$-dimensional discrete motions such that any two neighbouring positions correspond in a pure rotation ("rotating motions"). In the Study quadric model of Euclidean displacements these motions correspond to quadrilateral nets with edges contained in the Study quadric ("rotation nets"). The main focus of ou…
