The study shows algebraic Bergman kernels imply finite type boundaries in complex domains.

Extends rough Heston model solution to general λ.

The Johnson kernel is the subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface generated by Dehn twists along bounding simple closed curves, and has the second Johnson homomorphism as a free abelian quotient. In terms of the representation theory of the symplectic group, we give a complete description of cup products of tw…

Many kinds of data are naturally amenable to being treated as sequences. An example is text data, where a text may be seen as a sequence of words. Another example is clickstream data, where a data instance is a sequence of clicks made by a visitor to a website. This is also common for data originating in the domains of…

We develop Fourier methods to expand translation-invariant kernels.

The paper calculates heat kernel and closed geodesic asymptotics for nilpotent coverings.

Ricci-positive manifolds span the kernel of the $\hat A$-genus in rational Spin bordism.

We construct models for the pricing and risk management of inflation-linked derivatives. The models are rational in the sense that linear payoffs written on the consumer price index have prices that are rational functions of the state variables. The nominal pricing kernel is constructed in a multiplicative manner that …

Knots generating infinite subgroup bound rational homology balls.

Paper proves triple linking form vanishes under specific conditions.

Paper proves non-triviality of Johnson kernel torsion subgroup.

We show that a finitely generated residually finite rationally solvable (or RFRS) group $G$ is virtually fibred, in the sense that it admits a virtual surjection to $\mathbb{Z}$ with a finitely generated kernel, if and only if the first $L^2$-Betti number of $G$ vanishes. This generalises (and gives a new proof of) the…

We give a new proof of a celebrated theorem of Dennis Johnson that asserts that the kernel of the Johnson homomorphism on the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group is generated by separating twists. In fact, we prove a more general result that also applies to "subsurface Torelli groups". Using this, we extend Joh…

The smooth rational homology cobordism group of rational homology three spheres, T, contains subgroups T_p generated by 3-manifolds with first homology p-torsion, where p is a prime. Rochlin's theorem and gauge theoretic methods show that the inclusion of the direct sum of the T_p into T has infinitely generated kernel…

The paper disproves the existence of certain subgroups with nontrivial rational abelianization.

We prove that there are examples of finitely generated groups G together with group ring elements Q \in \bbQ G for which the von Neumann dimension \dim_{LG}\ker Q is irrational, so (in conjunction with other known results) answering a question of Atiyah.

We establish scale-invariant Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger flow on any compact Lie group equipped with canonical rational metrics. In particular, full Strichartz estimates without loss for some non-rectangular tori are given. The highlights of this paper include estimates for some Weyl type sums defined on r…

Researchers determine the rational abelianization of a subgroup of mapping class groups.

We study two homomorphisms to the rational homology sphere group. If $ψ$ denotes the inclusion homomorphism from the integral homology sphere group, then using work of Lisca we show that the image of $ψ$ intersects trivially with the subgroup of the rational homology sphere group generated by lens spaces. As corollarie…

Enhanced kernel framework for advanced data forecasting.

Gaussian processes are powerful, yet analytically tractable models for supervised learning. A Gaussian process is characterized by a mean function and a covariance function (kernel), which are determined by a model selection criterion. The functions to be compared do not just differ in their parametrization but in thei…

This paper solves aggregation of Pareto optimal models by using Bayesian priors and weighted averaging.

We consider the online multiclass linear classification under the bandit feedback setting. Beygelzimer, Pál, Szörényi, Thiruvenkatachari, Wei, and Zhang [ICML'19] considered two notions of linear separability, weak and strong linear separability. When examples are strongly linearly separable with margin $γ$, they prese…

Unified analysis of kernel-based and locally adaptive bandit optimization methods.

We investigate the cohomology of the level 4 subgroup of the braid group, namely, the kernel of the mod 4 reduction of the Burau representation at $t=-1$. This group is also equal to the kernel of the mod 2 abelianization of the pure braid group. We give an exact formula for the first Betti number; it is a quartic poly…

Assuming that agents' preferences satisfy first-order stochastic dominance, we show how the Expected Utility paradigm can rationalize all optimal investment choices: the optimal investment strategy in any behavioral law-invariant (state-independent) setting corresponds to the optimum for an expected utility maximizer w…

The Birman exact sequence describes the effect on the mapping class group of a surface with boundary of gluing discs to the boundary components. We construct an analogous exact sequence for the automorphism group of a free group. For the mapping class group, the kernel of the Birman exact sequence is a surface braid gr…

The paper analyzes heat kernel asymptotics for real powers of Laplacians on manifolds.

Study mapping class group actions on cohomology of configuration spaces.

Unified analysis of Gaussian Process Thompson Sampling without discretization.

Persistence landscapes map persistence diagrams into a function space, which may often be taken to be a Banach space or even a Hilbert space. In the latter case, it is a feature map and there is an associated kernel. The main advantage of this summary is that it allows one to apply tools from statistics and machine lea…

In recent years, machine learning researchers have focused on methods to construct flexible and interpretable prediction models. However, an interpretability evaluation, a relationship between generalization performance and an interpretability of the model and a method for improving the interpretability have to be cons…

How many training data are needed to learn a supervised task? It is often observed that the generalization error decreases as $n^{-β}$ where $n$ is the number of training examples and $β$ an exponent that depends on both data and algorithm. In this work we measure $β$ when applying kernel methods to real datasets. For …

In the late 1980's, it was shown that the Casson invariant appears in the difference between the two filtrations of the Torelli group: the lower central series and the Johnson filtration, and that its core part was identified with the secondary characteristic class $d_1$ associated with the fact that the first $\mathrm…

Fast-vollib offers high-performance option pricing and IV computation.

The general problem of asset pricing when the discount rate differs from the rate at which an asset's cash flows accrue is considered. A pricing kernel framework is used to model an economy that is segmented into distinct markets, each identified by a yield curve having its own market, credit and liquidity risk charact…

New invariant detects infinite order cabled knots.

The paper constructs new rational homology 3-spheres bounding rational homology 4-balls.

The present paper attempts to show an alternative approach with regards to rational Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves and especially more natural approach for rational PH helices (i.e. rational helices). It exploits geometric features of rational helices to obtain a simpler construction of these curves and apply this t…

New method for simplifying knots with specific properties.

The study calculates the average genus of rational knots and links.

We note that a rational $3$-tangle diagram is obtained from a combination of four generators. There is an algorithm to distinguish two rational $3$-tangle diagrams up to isotopy. However, there is no perfect classification about rational $3$-tangle diagrams such as the classification of rational $2$-tangle diagrams cor…

Jones polynomial coincidences explored for rational knots.

We present a universal algorithm for online trading in Stock Market which performs asymptotically at least as good as any stationary trading strategy that computes the investment at each step using a fixed function of the side information that belongs to a given RKHS (Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space). Using a universa…
