We extend our previous results on the logarithmic Sobolev inequality along the Ricci flow in the case $λ_0(g_0)>0$ to the case $λ_0(g_0)=0$.

Paper finds necessary condition for logarithmic Minkowski problem in higher dimensions.

We generalize Demailly's construction of projective jet bundles and strictly negatively curved pseudometrics on them to the logarithmic case. We establish this logarithmic generalization explicitly via coordinates, just as Noguchi's generalization of the jets used by Green-Griffiths. As a first application, we give a m…

We pursue the study of holomorphic Cartan geometry with singularities. We introduce the notion of logarithmic Cartan geometry on a complex manifold, with polar part supported on a normal crossing divisor. In particular, we show that the push-forward of a Cartan geometry constructed using a finite Galois ramified coveri…

Study of logarithms in SVD-closed subgroups of unitary group.

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…

The paper finds that circles and logarithmic spirals are the only constant-speed ramps for a specific force field.

In this note, we derive a new logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the heat kernel on the Heisenberg group. The proof is inspired from the historical method of Leonard Gross with the Central Limit Theorem for a random walk. Here the non commutative nature of the increments produces a new gradient which naturally involves…

The study examines correlations of logarithms of integers at different scalings.

Uniform heat kernel and diffusion bridge asymptotics for sub-Riemannian geometry.

In this note we study logarithmic transformations in the sense of differential topology on two fibers of the Hopf surface. It is known that such transformations are susceptible to yield exotic smooth structures on four-manifolds. We will show here that this is not the case for the Hopf surface, all integer homology Hop…

In the previous article we derived a detailed asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions on manifolds with conic singularities. In this article we investigate how the terms in the expansion reflect the geometry of the manifold. Since the general expansion contains a logarithmi…

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

Sharp upper diameter limit found for Ricci solitons.

For some class of geometric flows, we obtain the (logarithmic) Sobolev inequalities and their equivalence up to different factors directly and also obtain the long time non-collapsing and non-inflated properties, which generalize the results in the case of Ricci flow or List-Ricci flow or harmonic-Ricci flow. As applic…

Geodesics grow infinitely in certain Finsler manifolds.

We study the logarithmic $L^{(α)}$-divergence which extrapolates the Bregman divergence and corresponds to solutions to novel optimal transport problems. We show that this logarithmic divergence is equivalent to a conformal transformation of the Bregman divergence, and, via an explicit affine immersion, is equivalent t…

We consider a spread financial market defined by the multidimensional Ornstein--Uhlenbeck (OU) process. We study the optimal consumption/investment problem for logarithmic utility functions in the base of stochastic dynamical programming method. We show a special Verification Theorem for this case. We find the solution…

The paper proves a logarithmic partial derivative lemma and applies it to several geometric problems.

The paper studies a 1D diffusion equation with nonlinear Robin boundary conditions and finds conditions for global and finite time blow-up or blow-down.

This paper is devoted to regret lower bounds in the classical model of stochastic multi-armed bandit. A well-known result of Lai and Robbins, which has then been extended by Burnetas and Katehakis, has established the presence of a logarithmic bound for all consistent policies. We relax the notion of consistence, and e…

Study bounds for Brownian motion on manifolds with sticky boundary conditions.

We show that our generalization of the Black-Scholes partial differential equation (pde) for nontrivial diffusion coefficients is equivalent to a Martingale in the risk neutral discounted stock price. Previously, this was proven for the case of the Gaussian logarithmic returns model by Harrison and Kreps, but we prove …

Proves inequality for special 3D shapes, generalizing to non-symmetric ones.

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…

Paper analyzes solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations on manifolds using Nash-Moser iteration.

The common assumption of universal behavior in stock market data can sometimes lead to false conclusions. In statistical physics, the Hurst exponents characterizing long-range correlations are often closely related to universal exponents. We show, that in the case of time series of the traded value, these Hurst exponen…

For six dimensional nilmanifolds we build a module $\mathcal{H}$ of an affine Kac Moody vertex algebras. Then, we associate some logarithmic fields for the module $\mathcal{H}$ and we study their singularities. We also presented a physics motivation behind this construction. We study a particular case, we show that whe…

The A-polynomial of a manifold whose boundary consists of a single torus is generalised to an eigenvalue variety of a manifold whose boundary consists of a finite number of tori, and the set of strongly detected boundary curves is determined by Bergman's logarithmic limit set, which describes the exponential behaviour …

Oracle-efficient algorithms reduce combinatorial semi-bandit regret to logarithmic time.

We show that the residue density of the logarithm of a generalised Laplacian on a closed manifold defines an invariant polynomial valued differential form. We express it in terms of a finite sum of residues of classical pseudodifferential symbols. In the case of the square of a Dirac operator, these formulae provide a …

This work improves policy evaluation and selection using logarithmic smoothing for pessimistic off-policy estimation.

We study contextual bandits with budget and time constraints, referred to as constrained contextual bandits.The time and budget constraints significantly complicate the exploration and exploitation tradeoff because they introduce complex coupling among contexts over time.Such coupling effects make it difficult to obtai…

Formula for sections on complex manifolds with non-isolated components.

We prove the sharp local L^1 - L^\infty smoothing estimate for the logarithmic fast diffusion equation, or equivalently, for the Ricci flow on surfaces. Our estimate almost instantly implies an improvement of the known L^p - L^\infty estimate for p larger than 1. It also has several applications in geometry, providing …

Modified Bakry-Émery criterion inequality for Tsallis entropy monotonicity.

Let $(X, D)$ be a logarithmic pair, and let $h$ be a singular metric on the tangent bundle, smooth on the open part of $X$. We give sufficient conditions on the curvature of $h$ for the logarithmic and the standard cotangent bundles to be big. As an application, we give a metric proof of the bigness of logarithmic cota…
