Study of small growth invariants in Goursat distributions.

We present an explicit sequence of pseudo-Anosov maps $φ_k: S_{2k}\to S_{2k}$ of surfaces of genus $2k$ whose growth rates converge to one.

New results on homology torsion growth for various groups.

To a knot in 3-space, one can associate a sequence of Laurent polynomials, whose $n$th term is the $n$th colored Jones polynomial. The Volume Conjecture for small angles states that the value of the $n$-th colored Jones polynomial at $e^{\a/n}$ is a sequence of complex numbers that grows subexponentially, for a fixed s…

We prove that for a relatively hyperbolic group G there is a sequence of relatively hyperbolic proper quotients such that their growth rates converge to the growth rate of G. Under natural assumptions, the same conclusion holds for the critical exponent of a cusp-uniform action of G on a hyperbolic metric space. As a c…

Study on RCD(0,N) spaces with small linear diameter growth.

Directly proves logarithmic systolic growth for all hyperbolic surfaces.

CAT(0) spaces with small volume growth are homeomorphic to Euclidean space.

We compute the mod $p$ homology growth of residual sequences of finite index normal subgroups of right-angled Artin groups. We find examples where this differs from the rational homology growth, which implies the homology of subgroups in the sequence has lots of torsion. More precisely, the homology torsion grows expon…

In a previous paper the authors defined the growth rate of the tunnel number of knots, an invariant that measures that asymptotic behavior of the tunnel number under connected sum. In this paper we calculate the growth rate of the tunnel number of m-small knots in terms of their bridge indices.

It is well known that the compactifications of the canonical contact systems living on real jet spaces $J^{\,r}(1,1)$, $r \ge 2$, are locally universal Goursat distributions, $Δ^r$, living on compact manifolds (called Goursat monsters) having open dense jet-like ($J^{\,r}(1,1)$-like) parts. By virtue of the results of …

Flat space for manifolds with tiny curvature.

Local smoothing of metrics with small curvature, removing Ricci curvature condition.

Torsion and Betti numbers for knots are special cases of more general invariants associated to a finitely generated group G and epimorphism from G to the integers. The sequence of Betti numbers is always periodic; under mild hypotheses, the sequence of torsion numbers satisfies a linear homogeneous recurrence relation …

In this short note we show that the lower bounds of Mangoubi on the inner radius of nodal domains can be improved for quantum ergodic sequences of eigenfunctions, according to a certain power of the radius of shrinking balls on which the eigenfunctions equidistribute. We prove such improvements using a quick applicatio…

Homology growth of specific mapping tori vanishes for certain groups.

Bayes-assisted confidence sequences improve efficiency for bounded means.

This work is motivated by two problems: 1) The approach of manifolds and spaces by triangulations. 2) The complexity growth in sequences of polyhedra. Considering both problems as related, new criteria and methods for approximating smooth manifolds are deduced. When the sequences of polyhedra are obtained by the action…

Random quotients of hyperbolic cubulated groups remain cubulated.

Given a knot in 3-space, one can associate a sequence of Laurrent polynomials, whose $n$th term is the $n$th colored Jones polynomial. The Generalized Volume Conjecture states that the value of the $n$-th colored Jones polynomial at $\exp(2 πi \a/n)$ is a sequence of complex numbers that grows exponentially, for a fixe…

The study generalizes a specific geometric correspondence to higher dimensions.

Study infinite group presentations and their Dehn functions.

In 1968, Milnor conjectured that a complete noncompact manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has a finitely generated fundamental group. The author applies the Excess Theorem of Abresch and Gromoll (1990), to prove two theorems. The first states that if such a manifold has small linear diameter growth then its fund…

Study growth of systoles in arithmetic manifolds, focusing on $k$-dimensional cases.

TLRF improves timely COVID-19 outbreak detection with small sample size counties.

We investigate the rank gradient and growth of torsion in homology in residually finite groups. As a tool, we introduce a new complexity notion for generating sets, using measured groupoids and combinatorial cost. As an application we prove the vanishing of the above invariants for Farber sequences of subgroups of righ…

Study sequences of solutions to Taubes's Seiberg-Witten equations with unbounded energy.

Sharp Liouville theorem for minimal graphs on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.

We determine the successive pages of the Frölicher spectral sequence of the Iwasawa manifold and some of its small deformations, providing new examples and counterexamples on its properties, including the behaviour under small deformations.

Study finds minimal hypersurfaces grow linearly in index, contrary to 3D.

This paper is a starting point towards computing the Hausdorff dimension of submanifolds and the Hausdorff volume of small balls in a sub-Riemannian manifold with singular points. We first consider the case of a strongly equiregular submanifold, i.e., a smooth submanifold N for which the growth vector of the distributi…

We study volume growth, entropy and stability for translating solitons of mean curvature flow. First, we prove that every complete properly immersed translator has at least linear volume growth. Then, by using Huisken's monotonicity formula, we compute the entropy of the grim reaper and the bowl solitons. We also give …

Hybrid framework prevents forgetting in continual learning.

We prove a conjecture of K. Schmidt in algebraic dynamical system theory on the growth of the number of components of fixed point sets. We also generalize a result of Silver and Williams on the growth of homology torsions of finite abelian covering of link complements. In both cases, the growth is expressed by the Mahl…

We relate small 1-form Laplacian eigenvalues to relative cycle complexity on closed hyperbolic manifolds: small eigenvalues correspond to closed geodesics no multiple of which bounds a surface of small genus. We describe potential applications of this equivalence principle toward proving optimal torsion homology growth…

In this paper we prove that for suitable sequences of congruence subgroups of Bianchi groups, including the standard exhaustive sequences of a congruence subgroup, and even symmetric powers of the standard representation of Sl_2(C) the size of the torsion part in the first homology grows exponentially. This extends res…

In this paper we study the problem of approximation of the $L^2$-topological invariants by their finite dimensional analogues. We obtain generalizations of the theorem of Lück, dealing with towers of finitely sheeted normal coverings. We prove approximation theorems, establishing relations between the homological invar…

We define reduced colored sl(N) link homologies and use deformation spectral sequences to characterize their dependence on color and rank. We then define reduced colored HOMFLY-PT homologies and prove that they arise as large N limits of sl(N) homologies. Together, these results allow proofs of many aspects of the phys…

The paper proves conditions for isoperimetric regions in curved spaces.

Analytic torsion and Reidemeister torsion help show exponential growth of torsion in cohomology.

I study the behavior and the performance of the long-term forecasts issued by financial analysts with respect to the Extrapolation Hypothesis. That hypothesis states that investors, extrapolating from the firms' recent performances, are too optimistic about growth and large firms and too pessimistic about value and sma…

We introduce a criterion how to price derivatives in incomplete markets, based on the theory of growth optimal strategy in repeated multiplicative games. We present reasons why these growth-optimal strategies should be particularly relevant to the problem of pricing derivatives. We compare our result with other alterna…

The paper shows how contracting elements in groups lead to large quotients with specific growth rates.

Neural networks cannot approximate certain functions in Sobolev spaces, leading to unbounded parameter growth.

In this paper we investigate a new class of growth rate maximization problems based on impulse control strategies such that the average number of trades per time unit does not exceed a fixed level. Moreover, we include proportional transaction costs to make the portfolio problem more realistic. We provide a Verificatio…

We obtain a local volume growth for complete, noncompact Riemannian manifolds with small integral bounds and with Bach tensor having finite $L^2$ norm in dimension 4.
