We define regular points of an extremal subset in an Alexandrov space and study their basic properties. We show that a neighborhood of a regular point in an extremal subset is almost isometric to an open subset in Euclidean space and that the set of regular points in an extremal subset has full measure and is dense in …

Invariant detects triple points in sphere immersions.

We discuss a PL analogue of Morse theory for PL manifolds. There are several notions of regular and critical points. A point is homologically regular if the homology does not change when passing through its level, it is strongly regular if the function can serve as one coordinate in a chart. Several criteria for strong…

The orbit projection $π: M \to M/G$ of a proper $G$-manifold $M$ is a fibration if and only if all points in $M$ are regular. Under additional assumptions we show that $π$ is a quasifibration if and only if all points are regular. We get a full answer in the equivariant category: $π$ is a $G$-quasifibration if and only…

A regular $n$-gon inscribing a knot is a sequence of $n$ points on a knot, such that the distances between adjacent points are all the same. It is shown that any smooth knot is inscribed by a regular $n$-gon for any $n$.

The paper studies the smoothness of critical points of variational integrals on Hessian spaces.

New definition of regular points for PL functions on manifolds.

We develop a structure theory for RCD spaces with curvature bounded above in Alexandrov sense. In particular, we show that any such space is a topological manifold with boundary whose interior is equal to the set of regular points. Further the set of regular points is a smooth manifold and is geodesically convex. Aroun…

The study shows that certain graphs are regular at boundary points.

A controlled magnetic Hamiltonian (CMH) system is a regular controlled Hamiltonian (RCH) system with magnetic symplectic form, it is an important special case of RCH system. Note that there is a magnetic term on the cotangent bundle of the Heisenberg group, such that we can define a CMH system with symmetry of the Heis…

New method stabilizes DEQ models by regularizing Jacobian of fixed-point equations.

In this paper we study general Schatten-$p$ quasi-norm (SPQN) regularized matrix minimization problems. In particular, we first introduce a class of first-order stationary points for them, and show that the first-order stationary points introduced in [11] for an SPQN regularized $vector$ minimization problem are equiva…

Paper develops a method to predict spatial point processes with guarantees.

Assuming minimal regularity assumptions on the data, we revisit the classical problem of finding isometric immersions into the Minkowski spacetime for hypersurfaces of a Lorentzian manifold. Our approach encompasses metrics having Sobolev regularity and Riemann curvature defined in the distributional sense, only. It ap…

A fixed point theorem is proved for inverse transducers, leading to an automata-theoretic proof of the fixed point subgroup of an endomorphism of a finitely generated virtually free group being finitely generated. If the endomorphism is uniformly continuous for the hyperbolic metric, it is proved that the set of regula…

Study shows how networks converge to minimum norm solutions with regularization.

We determine regularity results for energy minimizing maps from an $n$-dimensional Riemannian polyhedral complex $X$ into a CAT(1) space. Provided that the metric on $X$ is Lipschitz regular, we prove Hölder regularity with Hölder constant and exponent dependent on the total energy of the map and the metric on the doma…

We give partial boundary regularity for co-dimension one absolutely area-minimizing currents at points where the boundary consists of a sum of $C^{1,α}$ submanifolds, possibly with multiplicity, meeting tangentially, given that the current has a tangent cone supported in a hyperplane with constant orientation vector; t…

In this article we study the regularity of stationary points of the knot energies $E^α$ introduced by O'Hara in the range $α\in (2,3)$. In a first step we prove that $E^α$ is $C^1$ on the set of all regular embedded closed curves belonging to $H^{(α+1)/2,2}$ and calculate its derivative. After that we use the structure…

We give partial boundary regularity for co-dimension one absolutely area-minimizing currents at points where the boundary consists of a sum of $C^{1,α}$ submanifolds, possibly with multiplicity, meeting tangentially, given that the current has a tangent cone supported in a hyperplane with constant orientation vector; t…

New examples of k-regular maps to Grassmannians found via algebraic geometry.

Gaussian Processes (GPs) are a popular approach to predict the output of a parameterized experiment. They have many applications in the field of Computer Experiments, in particular to perform sensitivity analysis, adaptive design of experiments and global optimization. Nearly all of the applications of GPs require the …

Given a null-cobordant oriented framed link $L$ in a closed oriented $3$--manifold $M$, we determine those links in $M \setminus L$ which can be realized as the singular point set of a generic map $M \to \mathbb{R}^2$ that has $L$ as an oriented framed regular fiber. Then, we study the linking behavior between the sing…

We investigate one-point reduction methods of finite topological spaces. These methods allow one to study homotopy theory of cell complexes by means of elementary moves of their finite models. We also introduce the notion of h-regular CW-complex, generalizing the concept of regular CW-complex, and prove that the h-regu…

Let F be a closed orientable surface. We give an explicit formula for the number mod 2 of quadruple points occurring in any generic regular homotopy between any two regularly homotopic embeddings e,e':F -> R^3. The formula is in terms of homological data extracted from the two embeddings.

For nearly spherical bodies, the unique center is proven under certain conditions.

This paper is concerned with the squared F(robenius)-norm regularized factorization form for noisy low-rank matrix recovery problems. Under a suitable assumption on the restricted condition number of the Hessian for the loss function, we derive an error bound to the true matrix for the non-strict critical points with r…

A new method matches measures across different spaces using cost-regularized optimal transport.

Several data analysis techniques employ similarity relationships between data points to uncover the intrinsic dimension and geometric structure of the underlying data-generating mechanism. In this paper we work under the model assumption that the data is made of random perturbations of feature vectors lying on a low-di…

This work studies Gaussian geometry under entropy-regularized 2-Wasserstein distance.

We study incompressible surfaces constructed by Culler-Shalen theory in the context of twisted Alexander polynomials. For a $1$st cohomology class of a $3$-manifold the coefficients of twisted Alexander polynomials induce regular functions on the $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$-character variety. We prove that if an ideal point giv…

This paper studies the regularity of constrained Willmore immersions into $\R^{m\ge3}$ locally around both "regular" points and around branch points, where the immersive nature of the map degenerates. We develop local asymptotic expansions for the immersion, its first, and its second derivatives, given in terms of resi…
