New framework distinguishes knots via neighborhood invariants.

We present a new construction of tubular neighborhoods in (possibly infinite dimensional) Riemannian manifolds M, which allows us to show that if G is an arbitrary group acting isometrically on M, then every G-invariant submanifold with locally trivial normal bundle has a G-invariant total tubular neighborhood. We appl…

We use virtual neighborhood technique to establish GW-invariants, Quantum cohomology, equivariant GW-invariants, equivariant quantum cohomology and Floer cohomology for general symplectic manifold. We also establish GW-invariants for a family of symplectic manifolds. As a consequence, we prove Arnold conjecture for non…

Linearizability of singular foliations is preserved under a specific equivalence relation.

Study contact geometry of symplectic divisors, invariant under specific transformations.

We present a neighborhood similarity layer (NSL) which induces appearance invariance in a network when used in conjunction with convolutional layers. We are motivated by the observation that, even though convolutional networks have low generalization error, their generalization capability does not extend to samples whi…

We provide a model for an open invariant neighborhood of any orbit in a symplectic manifold endowed with a canonical proper symmetry. Our results generalize the constructions of Marle and Guillemin and Sternberg for canonical symmetries that have an associated momentum map. In these papers the momentum map played a cru…

In the symplectic category there is a `connect sum' operation that glues symplectic manifolds by identifying neighborhoods of embedded codimension two submanifolds. This paper establishes a formula for the Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic sum Z=X#Y in terms of the relative GW invariants of X and Y. Several appl…

In this paper, we develop Leray-Serre-type spectral sequences to compute the intersection homology of the regular neighborhood and deleted regular neighborhood of the bottom stratum of a stratified PL-pseudomanifold. The E^2 terms of the spectral sequences are given by the homology of the bottom stratum with a local co…

Spatial graphs study tangle replacement with equivalence classes.

We show that a bi-invariant metric on a compact connected Lie group $G$ is spectrally isolated within the class of left-invariant metrics. In fact, we prove that given a bi-invariant metric $g_0$ on $G$ there is a positive integer $N$ such that, within a neighborhood of $g_0$ in the class of left-invariant metrics of a…

We consider functions with isolated critical points on a closed surface. We prove that in a neighborhood of a critical point the function conjugates with Re$z^k$ for the some nonnegative integer k. The full topological invariant of such functions is constructed.

Uniformly K-stable toric varieties are asymptotically Chow stable if their Futaki-Ono invariant vanishes.

Study BF invariants using simple type concepts.

In 1972, Marcel Berger defined a metric invariant that captures the `size' of k-dimensional homology of a Riemannian manifold. This invariant came to be called the k-dimensional SYSTOLE. He asked if the systoles can be constrained by the volume, in the spirit of the 1949 theorem of C. Loewner. We construct metrics, ins…

In this paper Hamiltonian system of time dependent periodic Newton equations is studied. It is shown that for dimensions $3$ and higher the following rigidity results holds true: If all the orbits in a neighborhood of infinity are action minimizing then the potential must be constant. This gives a generalization of the…

We derive spectral sequences for the intersection homology of stratified fibrations and approximate tubular neighborhoods in manifold stratified spaces. These neighborhoods include regular neighborhoods in PL stratified spaces.

Making an adaptive prediction based on one's input is an important ability for general artificial intelligence. In this work, we step forward in this direction and propose a semi-parametric method, Meta-Neighborhoods, where predictions are made adaptively to the neighborhood of the input. We show that Meta-Neighborhood…

The SO(3)-monopole program, initiated by Pidstrigatch and Tyurin [arXiv:dg-ga/9507004], yields a relationship between the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants through a cobordism between the moduli spaces defining these invariants. The main technical difficulty in this program lies in describing the links of singula…

Minimal hypersurfaces with cylindrical tangent cones constructed and analyzed.

Data-driven neighborhood definitions and graph constructions are often used in machine learning and signal processing applications. k-nearest neighbor~(kNN) and $ε$-neighborhood methods are among the most common methods used for neighborhood selection, due to their computational simplicity. However, the choice of param…

New approach uses distributed persistence for stable, parallelizable topological analysis of large point clouds.

Study geodesics entering a fixed cusp neighborhood multiple times.

To each isolated critical point of a smooth function on a 3-manifold we put in correspondence a tree (graph without cycles). We will prove that functions are topologically equivalent in the neighborhoods of critical points if and only if the corresponding trees are isomorphic. A complete topological invariant of functi…

Urban2Vec combines street view imagery and POIs for better urban neighborhood embeddings.

Paper constructs infinitely many pairs of Seifert surfaces for each link.

Given a $4$-manifold $\hat{M}$ and two homeomorphic surfaces $Σ_1, Σ_2$ smoothly embedded in $\hat{M}$ with genus more than 1, we remove the neighborhoods of the surfaces and obtain a new $4$-manifold $M$ from gluing two boundaries $S^1 \times Σ_1$ and $S^1 \times Σ_1.$ In this artice, we prove a gluing formula which d…

For a complex polynomial in two variables we study the morphism induced in homology by the embedding of an irregular fiber in a regular neighborhood of it. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for this morphism to be injective, surjective. Particularly this morphism is an isomorphism if and only if the correspon…

Skeleta and other pure subsets of manifold stratified spaces are shown to have neighborhoods which are teardrops of stratified approximate fibrations (under dimension and compactness assumptions). In general, the stratified approximate fibrations cannot be replaced by bundles, and the teardrops cannot be replaced by ma…

We show that a general $n$-dimensional polarized abelian variety $(A,L)$ of a given polarization type and satisfying $h^0(A, L) \geq \dfrac{8^n}{2} \cdot \dfrac{n^n}{n !}$ is projectively normal. In the process, we also obtain a sharp lower bound for the volume of a purely one-dimensional complex analytic subvariety i…

This paper tackles selection bias in recommender systems by considering the neighborhood effect.

Maximally hyperbolic solutions contain future neighborhoods of intersecting hypersurfaces.

Many prediction problems can be phrased as inferences over local neighborhoods of graphs. The graph represents the interaction between entities, and the neighborhood of each entity contains information that allows the inferences or predictions. We present an approach for applying machine learning directly to such graph…

Proposes a new NMF method incorporating neighborhood structure for better anomaly detection.

This is the first part of a trilogy where we apply the theory of virtual manifold/orbifolds developed by the first named author and Tian to study the Gromov-Witten moduli spaces. In this paper, we resolve the main analytic issue arising from the lack of differentiability of $PSL(2, \C)$-action on spaces of $W^{1, p}$-m…

We prove an existence theorem for gauge invariant $L^2$-normal neighborhoods of the reduction loci in the space ${\cal A}_a(E)$ of oriented connections on a fixed Hermitian 2-bundle $E$. We use this to obtain results on the topology of the moduli space ${\cal B}_a(E)$ of (non-necessarily irreducible) oriented connectio…

The paper studies sub-Riemannian geometry and proves a Weyl's invariance result for Heisenberg groups.

We prove that there is a unique real tight contact structure on the 3-ball with convex boundary up to isotopy through real tight contact structures. We also give a partial classification of the real tight solid tori with the real structure being antipodal map along longitudinal and the identity along meridional directi…

Revises GNN neighborhood aggregation for more accurate node classification.

We prove a persistence result for noncompact normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds in the setting of Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. Bounded geometry of the ambient manifold is a crucial assumption required to control the uniformity of all estimates throughout the proof. The $C^{k,α}$-smoothness result is o…

The study proves a neighborhood theorem for mean curvature flow in higher dimensions.

A neighborhood homotopy is an equivalence relation on spatial graphs which is generated by crossing changes on the same component and neighborhood equivalence. We give a complete classification of all 2-component spatial graphs up to neighborhood homotopy by the elementary divisor of a linking matrix with respect to th…

In this work, we study the problem of reconstructing shapes from simple nonasymptotic densities measured only along shape boundaries. The particular density we study is also known as the integral area invariant and corresponds to the area of a disk centered on the boundary that is also inside the shape. It is easy to s…

In this article we study Whitney (B) regular stratified spaces with the action of a compact Lie group $G$ which preserves the strata. We prove an equivariant submersion theorem and use it to show that such a $G$-stratified space carries a system of $G$-equivariant control data. As an application, we show that if $A \su…
