In this paper, we show that the peeling property still holds for Bondi-Sachs metrics with nonzero cosmological constant under the boundary condition given by Sommerfeld's radiation condition together with three nontrivial Λ-independent functions B, a, b. This should indicate the new boundary condition is natura…
In this paper we study an experimentally-observed connection between two seemingly unrelated processes, one from computational geometry and the other from differential geometry. The first one (which we call "grid peeling") is the convex-layer decomposition of subsets G⊂Z2 of the integer grid, previous…
Paper explains neural collapse in neural networks using a new model.
problem Understanding neural collapse in neural networks during training.
method Introducing the unconstrained layer-peeled model (ULPM) to prove gradient flow convergence to critical points of a minimum-norm separation problem.
result Proves that all critical points are strict saddle points except the global minimizers exhibiting neural collapse.
Starting from an arbitrary sequence of polygons whose total perimeter is 2n, we can build an (oriented) surface by pairing their sides in a uniform fashion. Chmutov and Pittel (arXiv:1503.01816) have shown that, regardless of the configuration of polygons we started with, the degree sequence of the graph obtained thi…
This paper investigates graph clustering in the planted cluster model in the presence of {\em small clusters}. Traditional results dictate that for an algorithm to provably correctly recover the clusters, {\em all} clusters must be sufficiently large (in particular, Ω~(n) where n is the number of nodes …
A lamination of a graph embedded on a surface is a collection of pairwise disjoint non-contractible simple closed curves drawn on the graph. In the case when the surface is a sphere with three punctures (a.k.a. a pair of pants), we first identify the lamination space of a graph embedded on that surface as a lattice pol…
A new iterative low complexity algorithm has been presented for computing the Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) of an N dimensional signal with a K-sparse WHT, where N is a power of two and K=O(Nα), scales sub-linearly in N for some 0<α<1. Assuming a random support model for the non-zero transform domain…
The Sample Compression Conjecture of Littlestone & Warmuth has remained unsolved for over two decades. This paper presents a systematic geometric investigation of the compression of finite maximum concept classes. Simple arrangements of hyperplanes in Hyperbolic space, and Piecewise-Linear hyperplane arrangements, are …
Mixtures of Mallows models are a popular generative model for ranking data coming from a heterogeneous population. They have a variety of applications including social choice, recommendation systems and natural language processing. Here we give the first polynomial time algorithm for provably learning the parameters of…
We prove recognition theorems for codimension one manifold factors of dimension n≥4. In particular, we formalize topographical methods and introduce three ribbons properties: the crinkled ribbons property, the twisted crinkled ribbons property, and the fuzzy ribbons property. We show that X×R i…
The study shows that several properties are not profinite invariants.
problem Determining which properties are profinite invariants.
method Combining Rips constructions and iterated group-theoretic Dehn filling on hyperbolic virtually special groups.
result Several properties (stable commutator length, quasimorphisms, property NL, property FW∞, property FA, and non-abelian free subgroups) are not profinite invariants.
We show that all finite-dimensional resolvable generalized manifolds with the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property are codimension one manifold factors. We then show how the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property and other general position properties that detect codimension one manifold factors are related. We also note …
Asymptotic property C was introduced by Dranishnikov to study spaces with infinite asymptotic dimension. We show that asymptotic property C is preserved by infinite products. We also show that countable restricted direct products of countable groups with finite asymptotic dimension have asymptotic property C. Then we i…
We prove extension theorems for several geometric properties such as asymptotic property C (APC), finite decomposition complexity (FDC), strict finite decomposition complexity (sFDC) which are weakenings of Gromov's finite asymptotic dimension (FAD). The context of all theorems is a finitely generated group G with a …
The paper explores the twisted Rokhlin property in mapping class groups of surfaces.
problem Classifying surfaces whose mapping class groups have the twisted Rokhlin property.
method Generalizing the Rokhlin property to the twisted version, the authors classify surfaces based on their mapping class groups' properties.
result The mapping class groups of connected orientable infinite-type surfaces without boundaries have the twisted Rokhlin property, while those of other surfaces do not.
The balance property is crucial for insurance pricing, ensuring total actuarial price equals loss. Maximum likelihood GLMs fulfill it, but Lindholm-Wüthrich suggests three methods, with constrained GLM being superior.
problem Ensuring the balance property in insurance pricing models
method Using constrained GLM fitting
result Constrained GLM fitting is superior to the two previously discussed balance correction methods
