For a normal covering over a closed oriented topological manifold we give a proof of the L2-signature theorem with twisted coefficients, using Lipschitz structures and the Lipschitz signature operator introduced by Teleman. We also prove that the L-theory isomorphism conjecture as well as the C^*_max-version of the Bau…

Universal approximation for stochastic processes using Brownian motion.

Universal approximation for rough paths and Lévy processes.

We revisit the construction of signature classes in C*-algebra K-theory, and develop a variation that allows us to prove equality of signature classes in some situations involving homotopy equivalences of noncompact manifolds that are only defined outside of a compact set. As an application, we prove a counterpart for …

In a strengthening of the G-Signature Theorem of Atiyah and Singer, we compute, at least in principle (modulo certain torsion of exponent dividing a power of the order of G), the class in equivariant K-homology of the signature operator on a G-manifold, localized at a prime idea of R(G), in terms of the classes in non-…

Werner Meyer constructed a cocycle in $H^2(Sp(2g, \mathbb{Z}); \mathbb{Z})$ which computes the signature of a closed oriented surface bundle over a surface, with fibre a surface of genus g. By studying properties of this cocycle, he also showed that the signature of such a surface bundle is a multiple of 4. In this pap…

Using theorems of Eliashberg and McDuff, Etnyre [Et] proved that the intersection form of a symplectic filling of a contact 3-manifold supported by planar open book is negative definite. In this paper, we prove a signature formula for allowable Lefschetz fibrations over $D^2$ with planar fiber by computing Maslov index…

We survey the Hirzebruch signature theorem as a special case of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. The family version of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem in the form of the Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck-Quillen (RRGQ) formula is then applied to the complexified signature operators varying along the universal family of ellipti…

In this article, we give a simple and direct proof of the Yoshida-Nicolaescu Theorem in a more general context by using the theory of partial signatures. We do not impose the usual condition of non-degeneracy at the endpoints and use a natural definition of the Maslov index.

Let $\bar{M}$ be a manifold with boundary $Y$ which is the total space of a fibre bundle, and is defined by the vanishing of a boundary defining function, $x$. We prove $L^2$ Hodge and signature theorems for $M$ endowed with a metric of the form $dx^2 + x^{2c} h + k$, where $k$ is the lift to $Y$ of the metric on the b…

Develops a new trading strategy for statistical arbitrage with path-dependent signals.

Completeness theorem for flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (2,2).

The divergence theorem in its usual form applies only to suitably smooth vector fields. For vector fields which are merely piecewise smooth, as is natural at a boundary between regions with different physical properties, one must patch together the divergence theorem applied separately in each region. We give an elegan…

Explicit formulas for Hattori-Stong integrability conditions and manifolds' signature properties.

A well-known property of the signature of closed oriented 4n-dimensional manifolds is Novikov additivity, which states that if a manifold is split into two manifolds with boundary along an oriented smooth hypersurface, then the signature of the original manifold equals the sum of the signatures of the resulting manifol…

We introduce Tristram-Levine signatures of virtual knots and use them to investigate virtual knot concordance. The signatures are defined first for almost classical knots, which are virtual knots admitting homologically trivial representations. The signatures and $ω$-signatures are shown to give bounds on the topologic…

Kawakubo and Uchida showed that, if a closed oriented $4k$-dimensional manifold $M$ admits a semi-free circle action such that the dimension of the fixed point set is less than $2k$, then the signature of $M$ vanishes. In this note, by using $G$-signature theorem and the rigidity of the signature operator, we generaliz…

This is a sequel to the paper "The signature package on Witt spaces, I. Index classes" by the same authors. In the first part we investigated, via a parametrix construction, the regularity properties of the signature operator on a stratified Witt pseudomanifold, proving, in particular, that one can define a K-homology …

Researchers prove an $L$-theoretic signature transfer in codimension 2.

We find a formula for the L2 signature of a (p,q) torus knot, which is the integral of the omega-signatures over the unit circle. We then apply this to a theorem of Cochran-Orr-Teichner to prove that the n-twisted doubles of the unknot, for n not 0 or 2, are not slice. This is a new proof of the result first proved by …

Extends G-signature theorem to Witt G-pseudomanifolds.

By a theorem of A'Campo, the eigenvalues of certain Coxeter transformations are positive real or lie on the unit circle. By optimally bounding the signature of tree-like positive Hopf plumbings from below by the genus, we prove that at least two thirds of them lie on the unit circle. In contrast, we show that for divid…

Global approximation for piecewise linear paths via signatures.

Considering a non-constant smooth solution $f$ of the Tanno equation on a closed, connected Kähler manifold $(M,g,J)$ with positively definite metric $g$, Tanno showed that the manifold can be finitely covered by $(\mathbb{C}P(n),\mbox{const}\cdot g_{FS})$, where $g_{FS}$ denotes the Fubini-Study metric of constant hol…

While the equality of differential signatures (Calabi et al, Int. J. Comput. Vis. 26: 107-135, 1998) is known to be a necessary condition for congruence, it is not sufficient (Musso and Nicolodi, J. Math Imaging Vis. 35: 68-85, 2009). Hickman (J. Math Imaging Vis. 43: 206-213, 2012, Theorem 2) claimed that for non-dege…

We define a set of "second-order" L^(2)-signature invariants for any algebraically slice knot. These obstruct a knot's being a slice knot and generalize Casson-Gordon invariants, which we consider to be "first-order signatures". As one application we prove: If K is a genus one slice knot then, on any genus one Seifert …

In this paper, we give two Lichnerowicz type formulas for Dirac operators and signature operators twisted by a vector bundle with a non-unitary connection. We also prove two Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorems for twisted Dirac operators and twisted signature operators on 4-dimensional manifolds with (resp. without) boun…

Paper develops approximation and statistical theory for signature-based path regression.

In this paper, we use `generalized Seifert surfaces' to extend the Levine-Tristram signature to colored links in S^3. This yields an integral valued function on the m-dimensional torus, where m is the number of colors of the link. The case m=1 corresponds to the Levine-Tristram signature. We show that many remarkable p…
