We introduce the problem of model selection for contextual bandits, where a learner must adapt to the complexity of the optimal policy while balancing exploration and exploitation. Our main result is a new model selection guarantee for linear contextual bandits. We work in the stochastic realizable setting with a seque…
We compare the star surgery operations introduced in [KS] to the generalized rational blow-down. We show that star surgery shares the properties that make rational blow-down useful for constructions of small exotic symplectic 4-manifolds. Then we show that star surgery operations provide a strictly more general class o…
Tropical Geometry and Mathematical Morphology share the same max-plus and min-plus semiring arithmetic and matrix algebra. In this chapter we summarize some of their main ideas and common (geometric and algebraic) structure, generalize and extend both of them using weighted lattices and a max-⋆ algebra with an ar…
Gaia will obtain astrometry and spectrophotometry for essentially all sources in the sky down to a broad band magnitude limit of G=20, an expected yield of 10^9 stars. Its main scientific objective is to reveal the formation and evolution of our Galaxy through chemo-dynamical analysis. In addition to inferring position…
We deal with smooth real manifolds as well as complex analytic manifolds as well. It is well known that the concept of star product is powerful enough to produce all Poisson structures on real manifolds. According to [BdM] it is not known whether holomorphic star products exist on complex analytic manifolds. The main p…
Let Γ be a finite graph and let Γe be its extension graph. We inductively define a sequence {Γi} of finite induced subgraphs of Γe through successive applications of an operation called "doubling along a star". Then we show that every finite induced subgraph of Γe is iso…
Fine-tuning improves information conveyance in language models by reorganizing uncertainty into more informative sequences.
problem Uncertainty reduction in large language models through fine-tuning is not fully understood, especially regarding output length.
method Proposed Canopy Entropy (CE⋆) to measure uncertainty in both output length and sequence, capturing total Shannon entropy.
result Fine-tuned models exhibit stronger positive correlation between entropy rate and semantic diversity, indicating more informative and semantically meaningful generations.
For a compact Lie group G we consider a lattice gauge model given by the G-Hamiltonian system which consists of the cotangent bundle of a power of G with its canonical symplectic structure and standard moment map. We explicitly construct a Fedosov quantization of the underlying symplectic manifold using the Levi-…
In this article, we introduce the notion of star-Ricci tensors in the real hypersurfaces of complex quadric Qm. It is proved that there exist no Hopf hypersurfaces in Qm,m≥3, with commuting star-Ricci tensor or parallel star-Ricci tensor. As a generalization of star-Einstein metric, star-Ricci solitons on M …
For two disjoint rectifiable star-shaped Jordan curves (including round circles) in the asymptotic boundary of hyperbolic 3-space, if the distance (see Definition 1.8) between these two Jordan curves are bounded from above by some constant, then there exists an annulus-type area minimizing (or equivalently least area) …
We derive a closed formula for a star-product on complex projective space and on the domain SU(n+1)/S(U(1)×U(n)) using a completely elementary construction: Starting from the standard star-product of Wick type on Cn+1∖{0} and performing a quantum analogue of Marsden-Weinstein reduction, we ca…
The main result of this paper is a new and direct proof of the natural transformation from the surgery exact sequence in topology to the analytic K-theory sequence of Higson and Roe. Our approach makes crucial use of analytic properties and new index theorems for the signature operator on Galois coverings with boundary…
Let K be a nontrivial knot in S3 and t(K) its tunnel number. For any (p≥2,q)-slope in the torus boundary of a closed regular neighborhood of K in S3, denoted by K⋆, it is a nontrivial cable knot in S3. Though t(K⋆)≤t(K)+1, Example 1.1 in Section 1 shows that in some cas…
We study a deformation of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms of a smooth manifold. The deformation is based on a general twist. This leads to a differential geometry on a noncommutative algebra of functions whose product is a star-product. The class of noncommutative spaces studied is very rich. Non-anticommutative superspa…

Given a bordified space, Karlsson defines an incidence geometry of stars at infinity. These stars and their incidence are closely related to well-understood objects when the space is hyperbolic, CAT(0), or a bounded convex domain with the Hilbert metric. A question stemming from Karlsson's original paper was whether or…
