Criterion for lifting smooth contact maps between Carnot groups to central extensions.

By means of a general gluing and conformal-deformation construction, we prove that any smooth, metrically complete Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary can be realized as a closed domain into a smooth, geodesically complete Riemannan manifold without boundary. Applications to Sobolev spaces, Nash embedding and loca…

In this paper, we present the optimization formulation of the Kalman filtering and smoothing problems, and use this perspective to develop a variety of extensions and applications. We first formulate classic Kalman smoothing as a least squares problem, highlight special structure, and show that the classic filtering an…

The proof of Theorem 7.12 of "Uniqueness of smooth cohomology theories" by the authors of this note is not correct. The said theorem identifies the flat part of a differential extension of a generalized cohomology theory E with ER/Z (there called "smooth extension"). In this note, we give a correct proof. Moreover, we …

Analyzes structure of log smooth pairs when equality holds in Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality.

The main aim of this paper is the construction of a smooth (sometimes called differential) extension \hat{MU} of the cohomology theory complex cobordism MU, using cycles for \hat{MU}(M) which are essentially proper maps W\to M with a fixed U(n)-structure and U(n)-connection on the (stable) normal bundle of W\to M. Cruc…

Develops relative harmonic metrics and deformation theory for Higgs and flat bundles on compact Kähler manifolds.

We first extend Cheeger-Colding Almost Splitting Theorem to smooth metric measure spaces. Arguments utilizing this extension of the Almost Splitting Theorem show that if a smooth metric measure space has almost nonnegative Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature and a lower bound on volume, then its fundamental group is almost abe…

In this note, we report on a work jointly done with C. Simpson on a generalization of Reznikov's theorem which says that the Chern-Simons classes and in particular the Deligne Chern classes (in degrees $> 1$) are torsion, of a flat vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety. We consider the case of a smooth q…

Given a metrically complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with smooth nonempty boundary and assuming that one of its curvatures is subject to a certain bound, we address the problem of whether it is possibile to realize $(M,g)$ as a domain inside a geodesically complete Riemannian manifold $(M',g')$ without boundary, by …

In this paper we present another notion of a smooth manifold with corners and relate it to the commonly used concept in the literature. Afterwards we introduce complex manifolds with corners and show that if $M$ is a compact (respectively complex) manifold with corners and $K$ is a smooth (respectively complex) Lie gro…

Advocates against over-smoothing and over-squashing in GNNs, suggesting they are less critical than previously thought.

Action stabilizing bundle gerbe leads to Lie group extension.

It is shown that the Kerr-Newman solution, representing charged and rotating stationary black holes, admits analytic extension at the singularity. This extension is obtained by using new coordinates, in which the metric tensor becomes smooth on the singularity ring. On the singularity, the metric is degenerale - its de…

The paper proves residual finiteness of certain lattices and constructs surfaces with specific fundamental groups.

We consider a global, nonlinear version of the Whitney extension problem for manifold-valued smooth functions on closed domains $C$, with non-smooth boundary, in possibly non-compact manifolds. Assuming $C$ is a submanifold with corners, or is compact and locally convex with rough boundary, we prove that the restrictio…

Paper detects duality obstruction in smooth calibrations.

We introduce non-smooth symplectic forms on manifolds and describe corresponding Poisson structures on the algebra of Colombeau generalized functions. This is achieved by establishing an extension of the classical map of smooth functions to Hamiltonian vector fields to the setting of non-smooth geometry. For mildly sin…

Vision transformers benefit from non-smooth components in adaptation.

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for isometric immersions. More precisely, given a smooth isometric immersion of a codimension one submanifold we construct $C^{1,α}$ isometric extensions for any $α<\frac{1}{n(n+1)+1}$ via the method of convex integration.

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) approximates a non-negative matrix $X$ by a product of two non-negative low-rank factor matrices $W$ and $H$. NMF and its extensions minimize either the Kullback-Leibler divergence or the Euclidean distance between $X$ and $W^T H$ to model the Poisson noise or the Gaussian noise.…

Algorithm distinguishes Fuchsian groups with finite quotients.

We refine estimates introduced by Balogh and Bonk, to show that the boundary extensions of isometries between smooth strongly pseudoconvex domains in $\C^n$ are conformal with respect to the sub-Riemannian metric induced by the Levi form. As a corollary we obtain an alternative proof of a result of Fefferman on smooth …

One-parameter smooth families of circles in the complex plane with the following property are described: a function is polyanalytic if and only if it has meromorphic extension inside any circle from the family, with the only singularity-a pole at the center.

The paper extends invariant theory to non-compact and non-reductive actions, classifying four regimes.

Consider a smooth manifold with a smooth metric which changes bilinear type from Riemann to Lorentz on a hypersurface $Σ$ with radical tangent to $Σ$. Two natural bilinear symmetric forms appear there, and we use it to analyze the geometry of $Σ$. We show the way in which these forms control the smooth extensibility ov…

Determines higher smooth surgery structure sets of complex projective spaces.

We investigate a generalization of the so-called metric splitting of globally hyperbolic space-times to non-smooth Lorentzian manifolds and show the existence of this metric splitting for a class of wave-type space-times. Our approach is based on smooth approximations of non-smooth space-times by families (or sequences…

Extending Itô's formula to non-smooth functions is important both in theory and applications. One of the fairly general extensions of the formula, known as Meyer-Itô, applies to one dimensional semimartingales and convex functions. There are also satisfactory generalizations of Itô's formula for diffusion processes whe…

This is an overview article. After an introduction to convenient calculus in infinite dimensions, the foundational material for manifolds of mappings is presented. The central character is the smooth convenient manifold $C^{\infty}(M,N)$ of all smooth mappings from a finite dimensional Whitney manifold germ $M$ into a …

In this paper, we continue to study the Calabi flow on complex tori. We develop a new method to obtain an explicit bound of the curvature of the Calabi flow. As an application, we show that when $n=2$, the Calabi flow starting from a weak Kähler metric will become smooth immediately. It implies that in our settings, th…

In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the Sobolev type embedding constant on a domain with minimally smooth boundary. We estimate the embedding constant by constructing an extension operator and computing its operator norm. We also present some examples of estimating the embedding constant for certain domai…

Study smooth convergence of metric flows from $\mathbb{F}$-limits.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the smooth extension of a diffeomorphism between smooth strictly pseudoconvex domains in four real dimensional almost complex manifolds. The proof is mainly based on a reflection principle for pseudoholomorphic discs, on precise estimates of the Kobayashi-Royden infinite…

We prove that proper pseudo-holomorphic maps between strictly pseudoconvex regions in almost complex manifolds extend to the boundary. The key point is that the Jacobian is far from zero near the boundary, and the proof is mainly based on an almost complex analogue of the scaling method. We also establish a link betwee…

Smoothing splines provide a powerful and flexible means for nonparametric estimation and inference. With a cubic time complexity, fitting smoothing spline models to large data is computationally prohibitive. In this paper, we use the theoretical optimal eigenspace to derive a low rank approximation of the smoothing spl…

Let us consider a Riemannian manifold $M$ (either separable or non-separable). We prove that, for every $ε>0$, every Lipschitz function $f:M\rightarrow\mathbb R$ can be uniformly approximated by a Lipschitz, $C^1$-smooth function $g$ with $\Lip(g)\le \Lip(f)+ε$. As a consequence, every Riemannian manifold is uniformly …

We consider spectral sequences in smooth generalized cohomology theories, including differential generalized cohomology theories. The main differential spectral sequences will be of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch (AHSS) type, where we provide a filtration by the Cech resolution of smooth manifolds. This allows for systematic st…
