New algorithm for nonnegative tensor completion with linear convergence rate.

In this paper we prove that a complete noncompact manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has a trivial codimension one homology unless it is a split or flat normal bundle over a compact totally geodesic submanifold. In particular, we prove the conjecture that a complete noncompact manifold with positive Ricci curvat…

Minimal spectral radii found for specific matrix types.

We determine the homeomorphism type of the space of smooth complete nonnegatively curved metrics on surfaces of positive Euler characteristic equipped with the topology of $C^γ$ uniform convergence on compact sets, when $γ$ is infinite or is not an integer. If $γ=\infty$, the space of metrics is homeomorphic to the sep…

New algorithm completes nonnegative tensors with fewer samples and faster convergence.

For each nonnegative integer we find an open (4m+9)-dimensional simply-connected manifold admitting complete nonnegatively curved metrics whose souls are non-diffeomorphic, homeomorphic, and have codimension 2. We give a diffeomorphism classification of the pairs (N, soul) when N is a nontrivial complex line bundle ove…

We study the fundamental group of an open $n$-manifold $M$ of nonnegative Ricci curvature. We show that if there is an integer $k$ such that any tangent cone at infinity of the Riemannian universal cover of $M$ is a metric cone, whose maximal Euclidean factor has dimension $k$, then $π_1(M)$ is finitely generated. In p…

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.

We introduce a class of k-potential submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces and prove that for an arbitrary positive integer k and an arbitrary nonnegative integer p, each N-dimensional Frobenius manifold can always be locally realized as an N-dimensional k-potential submanifold in ((k + 1) N + p)-dimensional pseudo-Eu…

The paper identifies conditions for free circle actions on specific 7-manifolds.

We prove that if $B$ is a $k$-positive holomorphic line bundle on a compact hyperkähler manifold $M,$ then $H^p (M,Ω^q\otimes B)=0$ for $p>n+[\frac{k}{2}]$ and any nonnegative integer $q.$ In a special case $k=0$ and $q=0$ we recover a vanishing theorem of Verbitsky's with a little stronger assumption.

We introduce a new topological invariant, which is a nonnegative integer, of compact manifolds with boundaries associated with a kind of decomposition of them. Let M and N be m-dimensional compact connected manifolds with boundaries. The new invariant of any boundary union of M and N is less than or equal to that of M …

The paper defines and calculates stabilization distances between surfaces in 4-manifolds.

In this short note, we present a construction of new symplectic 4-manifolds with non-negative signature using the complex surfaces on Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau line $c_1^2 = 9χ_h$, the fake projective planes and Cartwright-Steger surfaces. Our construction yields an infinite family of fake rational homology $(2n-1)\CP#(2n-…

Let $n$ be a nonnegative integer, we use ribbon $n-$graph diagrams and the Yamada polynomial skein relations to construct an algebra ${\mathcal Y}_n$ which is shown to be closely related to the Temerley-Lieb Algebra. We prove that the algebra ${\mathcal Y}_2$ is isomorphic to some quotient of a three variables polynomi…

New MCMC method for generating composition ratios.

We prove that for every nonnegative integer $g$, there exists a bound on the number of ends of a complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of genus $g$ and finite topology. This bound on the finite number of ends when $M$ has at least two ends implies that $M$ has finite stability index which is bounded …

Given a positive integer $n$ and a compact connected Riemann surface $X$, we prove that the symmetric product $S^n(X)$ admits a Kaehler form of nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature if and only if $\text{genus}(X) \leq 1$. If $n$ is greater than or equal to the gonality of $X$, we prove that $S^n(X)$ does not a…

Affirmative answer to splitting question for open manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and linear volume growth.

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g \geq 2$, and let ${\mathcal O}_X$ denote the sheaf of holomorphic functions on $X$. Fix positive integers $r$ and $d$ and let ${\mathcal Q}(r,d)$ be the Quot scheme parametrizing all torsion coherent quotients of ${\mathcal O}^{\oplus r}_X$ of degree …

In this paper we study half-geodesics, those closed geodesics that minimize on any subinterval of length $l(γ)/2$. For each nonnegative integer $n$, we construct Riemannian manifolds diffeomorphic to $S^2$ admitting exactly $n$ half-geodesics. Additionally, we construct a sequence of Riemannian manifolds, each of which…

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. The main theorem of arxiv:1010.1488 says that for any positive integer $n \leq 2({\rm genus}(X)-1)$, the symmetric product $S^n(X)$ does not admit any Kähler metric satisfying the condition that all the holomorphic bisectional curvatures are nonnegat…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed $4k$-manifold whose Yamabe invariant $Y(M)$ is nonpositive. We show that $Y(M\sharp l \Bbb HP^k\sharp m \bar{\Bbb HP^k})=Y(M),$ where $l,m$ are nonnegative integers, and $\Bbb HP^k$ is the quaternionic projective space. When $k=4$, we also have $$Y(M\sharp l CaP^2\sharp m \bar{CaP^2})=Y(M),…

We extract a nonnegative integer-valued invariant, which we call the "order of algebraic torsion", from the Symplectic Field Theory of a closed contact manifold, and show that its finiteness gives obstructions to the existence of symplectic fillings and exact symplectic cobordisms. A contact manifold has algebraic tors…

The geography problem is usually stated for simply connected symplectic 4-manifolds. When the first cohomology is nontrivial, however, one can restate the problem taking into account how close the symplectic manifold is to satisfying the conclusion of the Hard Lefschetz Theorem, which is measured by a nonnegative integ…

Let T(γ) be the total space of the canonical line bundle γover CP^1 and r an integer which is greater than one and coprime to six. We prove that L_r^3\times T(γ) admits an infinite sequence of metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature with pairwise non-homeomorphic souls, where L_r^3 is the standard 3-dimensional lens…

Graphs with nonnegative Bakry-Émery curvature have volume doubling and Poincaré inequalities.

The Dirac operator d+delta on the Hodge complex of a Riemannian manifold is regarded as an annihilation operator A. On a weighted space L_mu^2 Omega, [A,A*] acts as multiplication by a positive constant on excited states if and only if the logarithm of the measure density of mu satisfies a pair of equations. The equati…

A flat complete causal Lorentzian manifold is called {\it strictly causal} if the past and the future of each its point are closed near this point. We consider strictly causal manifolds with unipotent holonomy groups and assign to a manifold of this type four nonnegative integers (a signature) and a parabola in the con…

A classical question in spectral geometry is, for each pair of nonnegative integers $(p,n)$ such that $p\leq 2n$, if the eigenvalues of Laplacian on $p$-forms of a compact Kähler manifold are the same as those of $\mathbb{C}P^n$ equipped with the Fubini-Study metric, then whether or not this Kähler manifold is holomorp…

Let $M^n$ be a complete noncompact K$\ddot{a}$hler manifold of complex dimension $n$ with nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature. Denote by $\mathcal{O}$_d(M^n)$the space of holomorphic functions of polynomial growth of degree at most$d$on$M^n$. In this paper we prove that$dim_{\mathbb{C}}{\mathcal{O}}_d(…

Natural coordinates for SL3-webs on surfaces are shown to be consistent under triangulation changes.

For any 3-manifold M and any nonnegative integer g, we give here examples of metrics on M each of which has a sequence of embedded minimal surfaces of genus g and without Morse index bounds. On any spherical space form S^3/Gamma we construct such a metric with positive scalar curvature. More generally we construct such…

For each odd integer r greater than one and not divisible by three we give explicit examples of infinite families of simply and tangentially homotopy equivalent but pairwise non-homeomorphic closed homogeneous spaces with fundamental group isomorphic to Z/r. As an application we construct the first examples of manifold…

We prove that the number of critical points of a Li-Tam Green's function on a complete open Riemannian surface of finite type admits a topological upper bound, given by the first Betti number of the surface. In higher dimensions, we show that there are no topological upper bounds on the number of critical points by con…

Let l be an oriented link of d components in a homology 3-sphere. For any nonnegative integer q, let l(q) be the link of d-1 components obtained from l by performing 1/q surgery on the dth component. Then the Mahler measure of the Alexander polynomial of l(q) converges to the Mahler measure of the Alexander polynomial …

In \cite{AP3, AHP}, the first author and his collaborators constructed the irreducible symplectic $4$-manifolds that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to $(2n-1){\mathbb{CP}}^{2}\#(2n-1)\overline{\mathbb{CP}}^{2}$ for each integer $n \geq 25$, and the families of simply connected irreducible nonspin symplectic $4$…

New lower bound for doubly slice genus using knot signatures.

We consider the polynomial representation S(V*) of the rational Cherednik algebra H_c(W) associated to a finite Coxeter group W at constant parameter c. We show that for any degree d of W and nonnegative integer m the space S(V*) contains a single copy of the reflection representation V of W spanned by the homogeneous …

We define a nonnegative integer $\la(L,L_0;φ)$ for a pair of diffeomorphic closed Lagrangian surfaces $L_0,L$ embedded in a symplectic 4-manifold $(M,\w)$ and a diffeomorphism $φ\in\Diff^+(M)$ satisfying $φ(L_0)=L$. We prove that if there exists $φ\in\Diff^+_o(M)$ with $φ(L_0)=L$ and $\la(L,L_0;φ)=0$, then $L_0,L$ are …

Kearton observed that mutation can change the concordance class of a knot. A close examination of his example reveals that it is of 4-genus 1 and has a mutant of 4-genus 0. The first goal of this paper is to construct examples to show that for any pair of nonnegative integers m and n there is a knot of 4-genus m with a…

State spaces of multifactor approximations of nonnegative Volterra processes are linear transformations of the nonnegative orthant.

We use contact fiber sums of open book decompositions to define an infinite hierarchy of filling obstructions for contact 3-manifolds, called planar k-torsion for nonnegative integers k, all of which cause the contact invariant in Embedded Contact Homology to vanish. Planar 0-torsion is equivalent to overtwistedness, w…
