Proposes a new ridge estimator for smooth covariates with adaptive centering.

In this paper we show how to augment classical methods for inverse problems with artificial neural networks. The neural network acts as a prior for the coefficient to be estimated from noisy data. Neural networks are global, smooth function approximators and as such they do not require explicit regularization of the er…

It is proved that the ring of invariants of the standard smooth completion of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra is functionally generated by two elements: the coefficient of the center and the Killing form.

Study on the nodal set of Dirac equation solutions on manifolds.

The space of differential operators acting on skewsymmetric tensor fields or on smooth forms of a smooth manifold are representations of its Lie algebra of vector fields. We compute the first cohomology spaces of these representations and show how they are related to the cohomology with coefficients in ther space of sm…

In this paper we consider the geodesic X-ray transform with attenuation coefficient as a combination of smooth complex function and 1-form. We show that attenuated X-ray transform applied to the pair of tensors is injective modulo the natural obstruction.

Filter banks are a popular tool for the analysis of piecewise smooth signals such as natural images. Motivated by the empirically observed properties of scale and detail coefficients of images in the wavelet domain, we propose a hierarchical deep generative model of piecewise smooth signals that is a recursion across s…

In this paper, we investigate an optimal investment and consumption problem for an investor who trades in a Black--Scholes financial market with stochastic coefficients driven by a non-Gaussian Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process. We assume that an agent makes investment and consumption decisions based on a power utility funct…

Quantum K-theory of quintic 3-fold conjectured with non-polynomial coefficients.

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold, $\cal S$ the space of polynomial on fibers functions on $T^*M$ (i.e., of symmetric contravariant tensor fields). We compute the first cohomology space of the Lie algebra, $Vect(M)$, of vector fields on $M$ with coefficients in the space of linear differential operators on $\cal S$. This co…

Given a smooth hermitean vector bundle $V$ of fiber $\mathbb{C}^N$ over a compact Riemannian manifold and $\nabla$ a covariant derivative on $V$, let $P = -(\lvert g \rvert^{-1/2} \nabla_μ\lvert g \rvert^{1/2} g^{μν} u \nabla_ν+ p^μ\nabla_μ+q)$ be a nonminimal Laplace type operator acting on smooth sections of $V$ wher…

Given a compact smooth manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary and a Morse function, a pseudo-gradient Morse-Smale vector field adapted to the boundary allows one to build a Morse complex whose homology is isomorphic to the (absolute or relative to the boundary) homology of $M$ with integer coefficients. Our approach simp…

Characterizes fractional Dehn twist coefficient and proves slice-Bennequin inequality.

The above named paper has been withdrawn. A colleague has observed a gap in the proof of isotopy invariance, which can be repaired by reducing the coefficients (which lie in (1/6)Z) of the antisymmetric kanji with chords incident with more than one component modulo 8Z. An analogous issue arises in considering the effec…

We present new extensions to a method for constructing several families of solvable one-dimensional time-homogeneous diffusions whose transition densities are obtainable in analytically closed-form. Our approach is based on a dual application of the so-called diffusion canonical transformation method that combines smoo…

We study differential operators, whose coefficients define noncommutative algebras. As algebra of coefficients, we consider crossed products, corresponding to action of a discrete group on a smooth manifold. We give index formulas for Euler, signature and Dirac operators twisted by projections over the crossed product.…

For a given bounded domain $Ω\subset {\Bbb R}^n$ with smooth boundary, we explicitly calculate the first two coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace associated with the Stokes operator as $t\to 0^+$. These coefficients (i.e., heat invariants) provide precise information for the volume of the domain $…

Let $f:M \to \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse-Bott function on a compact smooth finite dimensional manifold $M$. The polynomial Morse inequalities and an explicit perturbation of $f$ defined using Morse functions $f_j$ on the critical submanifolds $C_j$ of $f$ show immediately that $MB_t(f) = P_t(M) + (1+t)R(t)$, where $MB_t(f)$…

In this paper we extend Badzioch's, Dorabiala's, and Williams' definition of cohomological higher smooth torsion to a twisted cohomological higher torsion invariant. Additionally, we show that this still satisfies geometric additivity and transfer, and will also satisfy additivity and transfer for coefficients.

Let M,N and B\subset N be compact smooth manifolds of dimensions n+k,n and \ell, respectively. Given a map f from M to N, we give homological conditions under which g^{-1}(B) has nontrivial cohomology (with local coefficients) for any map g homotopic to f. We also show that a certain cohomology class in H^j(N,N-B) is P…

This paper investigates how to extend TV and EE to the supervised learning settings on high dimensional data. The supervised learning problem can be formulated as an…

Computed distortion coefficients for the α-Grushin plane.

The sum-product or belief propagation (BP) algorithm is a widely used message-passing technique for computing approximate marginals in graphical models. We introduce a new technique, called stochastic orthogonal series message-passing (SOSMP), for computing the BP fixed point in models with continuous random variables.…

Gradient Ricci almost solitons were introduced by Pigola, Rigoli, Rimoldi and Setti. They are defined as solitons except that the metric coefficient is required to be a smooth function rather than a constant. It is shown that any almost soliton is conformal to another almost soliton having a soliton function which is m…
