New formulas for geodesics on Stiefel and flag manifolds using trust-region method.

We generalize Cartan's logarithmic derivative of a smooth map from a manifold into a Lie group $G$ to smooth maps into a homogeneous space $M=G/H$, and determine the global monodromy obstruction to reconstructing such maps from infinitesimal data. The logarithmic derivative of the embedding of a submanifold $Σ\subset M…

Characterizes the local diffeomorphism structure of the exponential in the set of skew-symmetric matrices.

In this article it is shown that the study of harmonic diffeomorphisms, with nonvanishing Hopf differential, reduces to the study of the Beltrami equation of a certain type: the imaginary part of the logarithm of the Beltrami function coincides with the imaginary part of the logarithm of the Hopf differential, therefor…

Kim-Milman flow map stable under regular target measures

We show that there is no bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^2$ that maps a spiral with a sub-exponential decay of winding radii to an unwinded arc. This result is sharp as shows an example of a logarithmic spiral.

Logarithmic regret achieved in RL with linear function approximation.

In an effort to better understand the different ways in which the discount factor affects the optimization process in reinforcement learning, we designed a set of experiments to study each effect in isolation. Our analysis reveals that the common perception that poor performance of low discount factors is caused by (to…

Torically maximal curves (known also as simple Harnack curves) are real algebraic curves in the projective plane such that their logarithmic Gauß map is totally real. In this paper we show that hyperplanes in projective spaces are the only torically maximal hypersurfaces of higher dimensions.

Optimal unimodal fitting for linear loss functions in a sequential, efficient manner.

We investigate the connections between the differential-geometric properties of the exponential map from the space of real skew symmetric matrices onto the group of real special orthogonal matrices and the manifold of real orthogonal matrices equipped with the Riemannian structure induced by the Frobenius metric.

Study shows a universal local obstruction to the Samuelson condition for tangent Lagrangian 2-webs.

Method constructs spirals with given tangents and curvatures.

We show that the largest subsurface projection distance between a marking and its image under the nth step of a random walk grows logarithmically in n, with probability approaching 1 as n tends to infinity. Our setup is general and also applies to (relatively) hyperbolic groups and to $\mathrm{Out}(F_n)$. We then use t…

For Riemannian metrics of constant positive curvature on a punctured sphere with conic singularities at the punctures and co-axial monodromy of the developing map, possible angles at the singularities are completely described. This completes the recent result of Mondello and Panov. The related problem of describing pos…

This paper describes a family of pseudo-Anosov braids with small dilatation. The smallest dilatations occurring for braids with 3, 4 and 5 strands appear in this family. A pseudo-Anosov braid with 2g+1 strands determines a hyperelliptic mapping class with the same dilatation on a genus-g surface. Penner showed that log…

P. Buser and P. Sarnak showed in 1994 that the maximum, over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus s, of the least conformal length of a nonseparating loop, is logarithmic in s. We present an application of (polynomially) dense Euclidean packings, to estimates for an analogous 2-dimensional conformal systolic i…

Deviation inequalities and limit laws for random walks on metric spaces.

In this paper, we introduce the notions of logarithmic Poisson structure and logarithmic principal Poisson structure; we prove that the latter induces a representation by logarithmic derivation of the module of logarithmic Kahler differentials; therefore, it induces a differential complex from which we derive the notio…

Inspired by results of Eskin and Mirzakhani counting closed geodesics of length $\le L$ in the moduli space of a fixed closed surface, we consider a similar question in the $Out(F_r)$ setting. The Eskin-Mirzakhani result can be equivalently stated in terms of counting the number of conjugacy classes (within the mapping…

Generalizing the well-known Shafarevich hyperbolicity conjecture, it has been conjectured by Viehweg that a quasi-projective manifold that admits a generically finite morphism to the moduli stack of canonically polarized varieties is necessarily of log general type. Given a quasi-projective threefold Y that admits a no…

We consider the flows generated by generic gradients of Morse maps of a closed connected manifold $M$ to a circle. To each such flow we associate an invariant counting the closed orbits of the flow. Each closed orbit is counted with the weight derived from its index and homotopy class. The resulting invariant is called…

We present a new method to solve certain $\bar{\partial}$-equations for logarithmic differential forms by using harmonic integral theory for currents on Kahler manifolds. The result can be considered as a $\bar{\partial}$-lemma for logarithmic forms. As applications, we generalize the result of Deligne about closedness…

Learning from graph-structured data is an important task in machine learning and artificial intelligence, for which Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown great promise. Motivated by recent advances in geometric representation learning, we propose a novel GNN architecture for learning representations on Riemannian man…

The coamoeba of any complex algebraic plane curve $V$ is its image in the real torus under the argument map. The area counted with multiplicity of the coamoeba of any algebraic curve in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ is bounded in terms of the degree of the curve. We show in this Note that up to multiplication by a constant in $(\…

New framework for logarithmically divergent integrals on manifolds with corners.

The germ of the universal isomonodromic deformation of a logarithmic connection on a stable n-pointed genus g curve always exists in the analytic category. The first part of this paper investigates under which conditions it is the analytic germification of an algebraic isomonodromic deformation. Up to some minor techni…
