New examples of local signatures for genus 2 and 3 fibrations.

In this paper, we prove a local equivariant index theorem for sub-signature operators which generalizes the Zhang's index theorem for sub-signature operators.

A hyperelliptic broken Lefschetz fibration is a generalization of a hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibration. We construct and compute a local signature of hyperelliptic directed broken Lefschetz fibrations by generalizing Endo's local signature of hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations. It is described by his local signature and…

Study recovers knot invariants from 3-manifold pairings.

Counterexamples found for CR manifolds with mixed signature.

Develops a new family of signature-changing models on metric manifolds.

We study a secondary invariant, called the Meyer function, on the fundamental group of the complement of the dual variety of a smooth projective variety. This invariant have played an important role when studying the local signatures of fibered 4-manifolds from topological point of view. As an application of our study,…

Let p be a finite regular covering on a 2-sphere with at least three branch points. In this paper, we construct a local signature for the class of fibrations whose general fibers are isomorphic to the covering p.

Study classifies gradient almost Ricci solitons in Lorentzian and neutral signatures.

Surveying the signature theorem, researchers cancel anomalies on elliptic surfaces.

In the algebraic context, we show that null Osserman, spacelike Osserman, and timelike Osserman are equivalent conditions for a model of signature (2,2). We also classify the null Jordan Osserman models of signature (2,2). In the geometric context, we show that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature (2,2) is null Jo…

The dihedral genus of a knot is related to its signature and minimal surface genus.

Survey of quadratic form signatures in topology and dynamics.

New formula for signature of topological branched covers, extending classical results.

We prove that the next possible dimension after the maximal $n^2+2n$ for the Lie algebra of local projective symmetries of a metric on a manifold of dimension $n>1$ is $n^2-3n+5$ if the signature is Riemannian or $n=2$, $n^2-3n+6$ if the signature is Lorentzian and $n>2$, and $n^2-3n+8$ elsewise. We also prove that the…

No locally conformally Kähler metrics found on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds.

We describe the local structure of self-dual gradient Ricci solitons in neutral signature. If the Ricci soliton is non-isotropic then it is locally conformally flat and locally isometric to a warped product of the form $I\times_\varphi N(c)$, where $N(c)$ is a space of constant curvature. If the Ricci soliton is isotro…

Survey on geodesic flows in 2-surfaces with changing signatures.

New findings on non-congruent curves with identical signatures.

Geodesic completeness proven for certain symmetric spaces.

In a strengthening of the G-Signature Theorem of Atiyah and Singer, we compute, at least in principle (modulo certain torsion of exponent dividing a power of the order of G), the class in equivariant K-homology of the signature operator on a G-manifold, localized at a prime idea of R(G), in terms of the classes in non-…

Two Kähler metrics on a complex manifold are called c-projectively equivalent if their $J$-planar curves coincide. These curves are defined by the property that the acceleration is complex proportional to the velocity. We give an explicit local description of all pairs of c-projectively equivalent Kähler metrics of arb…

For each d>=2, the mapping class group for plane curves of degree d will be defined and it is proved that there exists uniquely the Meyer function on this group. In the case of d=4, using our Meyer function, we can define the local signature for 4-dimensional fiber spaces whose general fibers are non-hyperelliptic comp…

This work presents a method to localize targets in hyperspectral images using robust PCA.

The paper examines the topology of quaternionic toric actions on manifolds.

We use symplectic cobordism, and the localization result of Ginzburg, Guillemin, and Karshon, to find a wall-crossing formula for the signature of regular symplectic quotients of Hamiltonian torus actions. The formula is recursive, depending ultimately on fixed point data. In the case of a circle action, we obtain a fo…

A novel signature method improves sequential data prediction accuracy.

Novikov conjecture reduced to Lipschitz cohomology of groups.

Homology of the circle with non-trivial local coefficients is trivial. From this well-known fact we deduce geometric corollaries concerning links of codimension two. In particular, the Murasugi-Tristram signatures are extended to invariants of links formed of arbitrary oriented closed codimension two submanifolds of an…

Study adiabatic limits of G_2-manifold fibrations.

We construct a family of balanced signature pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, which arise as hypersurfaces in flat space, that are curvature homogeneous, that are modeled on a symmetric space, and that are not locally homogeneous.

The signature function of a knot is a locally constant integer valued function with domain the unit circle. The jumps (i.e., the discontinuities) of the signature function can occur only at the roots of the Alexander polynomial on the unit circle. The latter are important in deforming U(1) representations of knot group…

Study toric gravitational instantons using rod structures and inequalities.

Paper unifies three invariants for flat bundles over surfaces with boundary.

We review the subject of four dimensional anti-self-dual conformal structures with signature (+ + - -). Both local and global questions are discussed. Most of the material is well known in the literature and we present it in a way which underlines the connection with integrable systems. Some of the results - e.g. the L…

In this paper we construct a family of examples of self-dual Einstain metrics of neutral signature, which are not Ricci flat, nor locally homogenous. Curvature of these manifolds is studied in details. These are obtained by the para-quaternionic reduction. We compare our examples with the orbifolds $\oo$ given by Galic…

We show that given a conformal structure whose holonomy representation fixes a totally lightlike subspace of arbitrary dimension, there is always a local metric in the conformal class off a singular set which is Ricci-isotropic and gives rise to a parallel, totally lightlike distribution on the tangent bundle. This nat…

For k at least 2, we exhibit complete k-curvature homogeneous neutral signature pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not locally affine homogeneous (and hence not locally homogeneous). The curvature tensor of these manifolds is modeled on that of an indecomposible symmetric space. All the local scalar Weyl curvature i…

Conditions for equivariant bundles on 4-manifolds with cyclic actions.

We exploit four-dimensional tensor identities to give a very simple proof of the existence of a Lanczos potential for a Weyl tensor in four dimensions with any signature, and to show that the potential satisfies a simple linear second order differential equation, e.g., a wave equation in Lorentz signature. Furthermore,…

We apply E. Cartan's method of equivalence to classify 7-dimensional, 2-nondegenerate CR manifolds $M$ up to local CR equivalence in the case that the cubic form of $M$ satisfies a certain symmetry property with respect to the Levi form of $M$. The solution to the equivalence problem is given by a parallelism on a prin…

ProbMinHash improves Jaccard similarity hashing for big data applications.

Persistent homology reveals a topological signature of grokking in neural networks.

We show that if $\nabla R$ is a Jordan Szabo algebraic covariant derivative curvature tensor on a vector space of signature (p,q), where q is odd and p is less than q or if q is congruent to 2 mod 4 and if p is less than q-1, then $\nabla R=0$. This algebraic result yields an elementary proof of the geometrical fact th…

For any k which is at least 2, we exhibit complete k-curvature homogeneous neutral signature pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not k+1-affine curvature homogeneous, and hence not locally homogeneous. All the local scalar Weyl invariants of these manifolds vanish. These manifolds are Ricci flat, Osserman, and Ivanov…
