The study proves unique path lifting properties and their implications on quotient spaces and covering maps.

We characterize the existence of horizontal path lifts for general connections on arbitrary fiber bundles with a new property that also gives fresh insight into linear and $G$-connections.

Proof of wall-crossing formula using spectral networks.

The paper is devoted to introduce some notions extending the unique path lifting property from a homotopy viewpoint and to study their roles in the category of fibrations. First, we define some homotopical kinds of the unique path lifting property and find all possible relationships between them. Moreover, we supplemen…

A new method to rescale ReLU neural networks based on path-lifting.

Develops a lifting theory for exponential maps in semi-Riemannian geometry.

We study 3 basic questions about fundamental groups of algebraic varieties. For a morphism, is being surjective on $π_1$ preserved by base change? What is the connection between openness in the Zariski and in the Euclidean topologies? Which morphisms have the path lifting property?

This paper develops a path-first theory using signatures and jump lifts for self-exiting processes.

Transports along path in fibre bundles are axiomatically introduced. Their general functional form and some their simple properties are investigated. The relationships of the transports along paths and lifting of paths are studied.

We define Peano covering maps and prove basic properties analogous to classical covers. Their domain is always locally path-connected but the range may be an arbitrary topological space. One of characterizations of Peano covering maps is via the uniqueness of homotopy lifting property for all locally path-connected spa…

For a finite simplicial graph $Γ$, let $G(Γ)$ denote the right-angled Artin group on the complement graph of $Γ$. In this article, we introduce the notions of "induced path lifting property" and "semi-induced path lifting property" for immersions between graphs, and obtain graph theoretical criteria for the embedabilit…

Develops a new algebraic framework for differential geometry of infinite dimensional spaces.

An inverse limit of a sequence of covering spaces over a given space $X$ is not, in general, a covering space over $X$ but is still a lifting space, i.e. a Hurewicz fibration with unique path lifting property. Of particular interest are inverse limits of finite coverings (resp. finite regular coverings), which yield fi…

We introduce linear holonomy on Poisson manifolds. The linear holonomy of a Poisson structure generalizes the linearized holonomy on a regular symplectic foliation. However, for singular Poisson structures the linear holonomy is defined for the lifts of tangential path to the cotangent bundle (cotangent paths). The lin…

Let $Z \to Y^{2n+1}$ be the bundle of Legendrian $n$-planes over a contact manifold $Y$. We consider a foliation of $Z$ by canonical lifts of Legendrian submanifolds, called \emph{Legendrian submanifold path geometry}, whose flat model is \[ Sp(n+1, R) \to RP^{2n+1}. \] The equivalence problem provides an $sp(n+1, R)$ …

Generative model for TPPs using signatures and distributional discrepancies.

Geodesics in jet space are constructed from polynomials, with some yielding globally minimizing paths.

We prove that the category of abelian gerbes with connection over a smooth manifold is equivalent to a certain category of principal bundles over the free loop space. These bundles are equipped with a connection and with a "fusion" product with respect to triples of paths. The equivalence is established by explicit fun…

ARL bridges non-Markovian decision processes with reinforcement learning, improving foresight and stability.

This is an introduction to Wiener measure and the Feynman-Kac formula on general Riemannian manifolds for Riemannian geometers with little or no background in stochastics. We explain the construction of Wiener measure based on the heat kernel in full detail and we prove the Feynman-Kac formula for Schrödinger operators…

The paper proves metrizability and dynamics of Weil bundles.

Parallel transport in a fibre bundle with respect to smooth paths in the base space B have recently been extended to representations of the smooth singular simplicial set Sing_{smooth}(B). Inspired by these extensions,I revisit the development of a notion of `parallel' transport in the topological setting of fibrations…

Let G be a connected Lie group, LG its loop group, and PG->G the principal LG-bundle defined by quasi-periodic paths in G. This paper is devoted to differential geometry of the Atiyah algebroid A=T(PG)/LG of this bundle. Given a symmetric bilinear form on the Lie algebra g and the corresponding central extension of Lg,…

We propose a new proximal, path-following framework for a class of constrained convex problems. We consider settings where the nonlinear---and possibly non-smooth---objective part is endowed with a proximity operator, and the constraint set is equipped with a self-concordant barrier. Our approach relies on the followin…

Efficiently simulates the Heston model with large time steps using a novel method.

Lie theory for the integration of Lie algebroids to Lie groupoids, on the one hand, and of Poisson manifolds to symplectic groupoids, on the other, has undergone tremendous developements in the last decade, thanks to the work of Mackenzie-Xu, Moerdijk-Mrcun, Cattaneo-Felder and Crainic-Fernandes, among others. In this …

Study uses Bayes Hilbert framework to recover probability measure flows from sensors.

A linear section of a double vector bundle is a parallel pair of sections which form a vector bundle morphism; examples include the complete lifts of vector fields to tangent bundles and the horizontal lifts arising from a connection in a vector bundle. A grid in a double vector bundle consists of two linear sections, …

The spaces of harmonic maps of the projective plane to the four-dimensional sphere are investigated in this paper by means of twistor lifts. It is shown that such spaces are empty in case of even harmonic degree. In case of harmonic degree less than 6 it was shown that such spaces are path-connected and an explicit par…

Develops a new calculus for stochastic processes with occupation flows.

Many scientific and engineering applications feature nonsmooth convex minimization problems over convex sets. In this paper, we address an important instance of this broad class where we assume that the nonsmooth objective is equipped with a tractable proximity operator and that the convex constraint set affords a self…

In the first quarter of 2006 Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) introduced, as one of the listed products, options on its implied volatility index (VIX). This created the challenge of developing a pricing framework that can simultaneously handle European options, forward-starts, options on the realized variance and …

In this paper we study the shape space of curves with values in a homogeneous space $M = G/K$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $K$ is a compact Lie subgroup. We generalize the square root velocity framework to obtain a reparametrization invariant metric on the space of curves in $M$. By identifying curves in $M$ with thei…

Extends Feller theory to non-locally compact spaces for stochastic equations.

We propose the Neural Logic Machine (NLM), a neural-symbolic architecture for both inductive learning and logic reasoning. NLMs exploit the power of both neural networks---as function approximators, and logic programming---as a symbolic processor for objects with properties, relations, logic connectives, and quantifier…

In this paper, we define a complete lift for semisprays. If $S$ is a semispray on a manifold $M$, its complete lift is a new semispray $S^c$ on $TM$. The motivation for this lift is two-fold: First, geodesics for $S^c$ correspond to the Jacobi fields for $S$, and second, this complete lift generalizes and unifies previ…
