Paper describes invariants of slice regular functions' automorphism group.

Given a slice regular function $f:Ω\subset\mathbb{H}\to \mathbb{H}$, with $Ω\cap\mathbb{R}\neq \emptyset$, it is possible to lift it to a surface in the twistor space $\mathbb{CP}^{3}$ of $\mathbb{S}^4\simeq \mathbb{H}\cup \{\infty\}$ (see~\cite{gensalsto}). In this paper we show that the same result is true if one rem…

A quaternionic version of Picard's theorem limits how many values a slice regular function can avoid.

Regular sliceness implies once-stably decomposable sliceness in symplectizations.

In the present paper we introduce the class of slice-polynomial functions: slice regular functions {defined over the quaternions, outside the real axis,} whose restriction to any complex half-plane is a polynomial. These functions naturally emerge in the twistor interpretation of slice regularity introduced in \cite{ge…

Geometric structures on quaternionic unit ball for slice regular Möbius transformations.

The theory of slice regular functions of a quaternion variable is applied to the study of orthogonal complex structures on domains Ω of R^4. When Ω is a symmetric slice domain, the twistor transform of such a function is a holomorphic curve in the Klein quadric. The case in which Ω is the complement of a parabola is st…

In this paper we develop methods to extend the minimal hypersurface approach to positive scalar curvature problems to all dimensions. This includes a proof of the positive mass theorem in all dimensions without a spin assumption. It also includes statements about the structure of compact manifolds of positive scalar cu…

We propose fast approximations for the generalized sliced-Wasserstein distance.

This work is concerned with Mishchenko-Fomenko subalgebras and their restrictions to the adjoint orbits in a finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra. In this setting, it is known that each Mishchenko-Fomenko subalgebra restricts to a completely integrable system on every orbit in general position. We improve …

Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of time-slices of singular Ricci flows

When using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for segmentation of organs and lesions in medical images, the conventional approach is to work with inputs and outputs either as single slice (2D) or whole volumes (3D). One common alternative, in this study denoted as pseudo-3D, is to use a stack of adjacent slices as in…

By making use of the nice behavior of Hawking masses of slices of a weak solution of inverse mean curvature flow in three dimensional asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds, we are able to show that each slice of the flow is star-shaped after a long time, and then we get the regularity of the weak solution of inverse mean…

Two novel methods estimate multiple FDR directions for binary categorical responses.

Using the symplectic geometry of certain manifolds which appear naturally in Lie theory, we define an invariant which assigns a graded abelian group to an oriented link. The relevant manifolds are transverse slices to certain nilpotent orbits inside sl_{2m}, and intersections of those with regular semisimple orbits. Th…

Study knot invariants to answer questions about slice genus and clasp numbers.

New bounds improve neural network generalization through slicing.

In this paper we study generative modeling via autoencoders while using the elegant geometric properties of the optimal transport (OT) problem and the Wasserstein distances. We introduce Sliced-Wasserstein Autoencoders (SWAE), which are generative models that enable one to shape the distribution of the latent space int…

A knot in the three-sphere is doubly slice if it is the cross-section of an unknotted two-sphere in the four-sphere. For low-crossing knots, the most complete work to date gives a classification of doubly slice knots through 9 crossings. We extend that work through 12 crossings, resolving all but four cases among the 2…

Optimal transport (\OT) theory defines a powerful set of tools to compare probability distributions. \OT~suffers however from a few drawbacks, computational and statistical, which have encouraged the proposal of several regularized variants of OT in the recent literature, one of the most notable being the \textit{slice…

In real-world machine learning applications, data subsets correspond to especially critical outcomes: vulnerable cyclist detections are safety-critical in an autonomous driving task, and "question" sentences might be important to a dialogue agent's language understanding for product purposes. While machine learning mod…

Motivated by the growing popularity of variants of the Wasserstein distance in statistics and machine learning, we study statistical inference for the Sliced Wasserstein distance--an easily computable variant of the Wasserstein distance. Specifically, we construct confidence intervals for the Sliced Wasserstein distanc…

We introduce the notion of ascent sliceness of virtual knots. A representative of a virtual knot is an embedding $S^1 \hookrightarrow Σ_{g} \times I$, for $Σ_g$ a closed connected oriented surface of genus $g$; the virtual knot represented is slice if there exists a pair consisting of a disc $D$ and an oriented…

We study holomorphic integrable systems on the hyperkähler manifold $G\times S_{\text{reg}}$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group and $S_{\text{reg}}$ is the Slodowy slice determined by a regular $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$-triple. Our main result is that this manifold carries a canonical \textit{abstract int…

In this paper, we prove the existence of maximal slices in anti-de Sitter spaces (ADS spaces) with small boundary data at spatial infinity. The main arguments is implicit function theorem. We also get a necessary and sufficient condition for boundary behavior of totally geodesic slice in ADS space. Moreover, we show th…

A new Wasserstein distance method for comparing incomparable distributions.

We show that the regular Slodowy slice to the sum of two semisimple adjoint orbits of $GL(n,C)$ is isomorphic to the deformation of the $D_2$-singularity if $n=2$, the Dancer deformation of the double cover of the Atiyah-Hitchin manifold if $n=3$, and to the Atiyah-Hitchin manifold itself if $n=4$. For higher $n$, such…

We prove that a reduced and irreducible algebraic surface in $\mathbb{CP}^{3}$ containing infinitely many twistor lines cannot have odd degree. Then, exploiting the theory of quaternionic slice regularity and the normalization map of a surface, we give constructive existence results for even degrees.
