In this paper we use fractal geometry to investigate boundary aspects of the first homology group for finite coverings of the modular surface. We obtain a complete description of algebraically invisible parts of this homology group. More precisely, we first show that for any modular subgroup the geodesic forward dynami…
Classical Dedekind sums are connected to the modular group through the construction of a (Dedekind) symbol on the cusp set of the modular group. In this paper we study generalizations of Dedekind symbols and sums that can be associated to certain Fuchsian groups uniformizing 1-punctured tori.
É.Ghys proved that the linking numbers of modular knots and the "missing" trefoil K2,3 in S3 coincide with the values of a highly ubiquitous function called the Rademacher symbol for SL2Z. In this paper, we replace SL2Z=Γ2,3 by the triangle group Γp,q for any coprime …

problem Exploring the pentagon relation and its various forms.
method Starting with geometric form, then algebraic form as a family of equations, deriving equivalent forms using 6j-symbols, and extracting solutions from modular categories.
result Extracting a solution of the pentagon relation from any modular category.
We first show that hypergeometric functions appear naturally as spectral functions when applying pseudo-differential calculus to decipher heat kernel asymptotic in the situation where the symbol algebra is noncommutative. Such observation leads to a unified (works for arbitrary dimension) method of computing the modula…
We obtain an exact modularity relation for the q-Pochhammer symbol. Using this formula, we show that Zagier's modularity conjecture for a knot K essentially reduces to the arithmeticity conjecture for K. In particular, we show that Zagier's conjecture holds for hyperbolic knots K=72 with at most seven cros…
A second order self-adjoint operator Δ=S∂2+U is uniquely defined by its principal symbol S and potential U if it acts on half-densities. We analyse the potential U as a compensating field (gauge field) in the sense that it compensates the action of coordinate transformations on the second derivatives in…
We present a novel certified and complete algorithm to compute arrangements of real planar algebraic curves. It provides a geometric-topological analysis of the decomposition of the plane induced by a finite number of algebraic curves in terms of a cylindrical algebraic decomposition. From a high-level perspective, the…
We introduce an algorithm for model-based hierarchical reinforcement learning to acquire self-contained transition and reward models suitable for probabilistic planning at multiple levels of abstraction. We call this framework Planning with Abstract Learned Models (PALM). By representing subtasks symbolically using a n…
This paper shows that scientific discovery can be efficiently learned via compositional function trees, reducing the sample complexity.
problem Statistical and computational intractability of scientific discovery via symbolic regression.
method PAC learning approach focusing on compositional function trees built from a finite vocabulary of smooth operators.
result The Rademacher complexity and excess risk are controlled by depth and Lipschitz constants of the base operators, leading to finite-union bounds and high-probability risk bounds.
We describe dimensionally constrained symbolic regression which has been developed for mass measurement in certain classes of events in high-energy physics (HEP). With symbolic regression, we can derive equations that are well known in HEP. However, in problems with large number of variables, we find that by constraini…
Reinforcement learning and symbolic planning have both been used to build intelligent autonomous agents. Reinforcement learning relies on learning from interactions with real world, which often requires an unfeasibly large amount of experience. Symbolic planning relies on manually crafted symbolic knowledge, which may …
For an arbitrary Riemannian manifold X and Hermitian vector bundles E and F over X we define the notion of the normal symbol of a pseudodifferential operator P from E to F. The normal symbol of P is a certain smooth function from the cotangent bundle T∗X to the homomorphism bundle Hom(E,F) and dep…
Based on the ideas of Optimal Control, we introduce the new basic characteristic of a bracket generating distribution, the Jacobi symbol. In contrast to the classical Tanaka symbol, the set of Jacobi symbols is discrete and classifiable. We give an explicit and unified algebraic procedure for the construction of the ca…
We find and propose an explanation for a large variety of modularity-related symmetries in problems of 3-manifold topology and physics of 3d N=2 theories where such structures a priori are not manifest. These modular structures include: mock modular forms, SL(2,Z) Weil representations, quantum mo…
We introduce mod 3 triple Milnor invariants and triple cubic residue symbols for certain primes of the Eisenstein number field Q(−3), following the analogies between knots and primes. Our triple symbol generalizes both the cubic residue symbol and Rédei's triple symbol, and describes the decomposition…
The symbolic dynamics technique is well-known for low-dimensional dynamical systems and chaotic maps, and lies at the roots of the thermodynamic formalism of dynamical systems. Here we show that this technique can also be successfully applied to time series generated by complex systems of much higher dimensionality. Ou…

result Generators for rational invariants and a criterion for symbol equivalence.
Our aim is to introduce and advocate non-Σ (non-symmetric) modular operads. While ordinary modular operads were inspired by the structure of the moduli space of stable complex curves, non-Σ modular operads model surfaces with open strings outputs. An immediate application of our theory is a short proof that the mod…
The Wodzicki residue and the cut-off integral extend to classical symbol-valued forms. We show that they obey a Stokes' type property and that the extended Wodzicki residue can be interpreted as a complex residue like the ordinary one. In the case of cut-off integrals, Stokes' property (i.e. vanishing on exact forms) o…
