We study diffeologies on locally convex spaces and their application to smooth multiplication of distributions.

We construct an analytic multiplicative model of smooth K-theory. We further introduce the notion of a smooth K-orientation of a proper submersion and define the associated push-forward which satisfies functoriality, compatibility with pull-back diagrams, and projection and bordism formulas. We construct a multiplicati…

Smooth actions of the multiplicative monoid $(\mathbb{R},\cdot)$ of real numbers on manifolds lead to an alternative, and for some reasons simpler, definition of a vector bundle, a double vector bundle and related structures like a graded bundle [Grabowski and Rotkiewicz, J. Geom. Phys. 2011]. For these reasons it is n…

Study improves boundary smoothness for area-minimizing currents with complex boundaries.

We obtain multirelative connectivity statements about spaces of smooth embeddings, deducing these from analogous results about spaces of Poincare embeddings that were established in our previous paper.

Theory for capillary surfaces in 3-manifolds with smooth boundary.

Multiple generalized additive models (GAMs) are a type of distributional regression wherein parameters of probability distributions depend on predictors through smooth functions, with selection of the degree of smoothness via $L_2$ regularization. Multiple GAMs allow finer statistical inference by incorporating explana…

New example of surface flow converging to a plane with multiplicity 2.

The paper tackles learning smooth distance functions using query-based methods.

On a closed manifold of dimension greater than one, every smooth weak Riemannian metric on the space of smooth positive probability densities, that is invariant under the action of the diffeomorphism group, is a multiple of the Fisher--Rao metric.

In this paper, we show that if the mean curvature of a closed smooth embedded mean curvature flow in R^3 is of type-I, then the rescaled flow at the first finite singular time converges smoothly to a self-shrinker flow with multiplicity one. This result confirms Ilmanen's multiplicity-one conjecture under the assumptio…

This article is the third part of the series of articles where the theory of valuations on manifolds is constructed. In math.MG/0503399 the notion of a smooth valuation on a manifold was introduced. The goal of this article is to put a canonical multiplicative structure on the space of smooth valuations on general mani…

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…

In this paper, we construct smooth isometric embeddings of multiple warped product manifolds in quadrics of semi-Euclidean spaces. Our main theorem generalizes previous results as given by Blanusa, Rozendorn, Henke and Azov.

New examples of mean curvature flow converge to minimal surfaces with multiplicity 2.

We prove that, for a generic set of smooth prescription functions $h$ on a closed ambient manifold, there always exists a nontrivial, smooth, closed hypersurface of prescribed mean curvature $h$. The solution is either an embedded minimal hypersurface with integer multiplicity, or a non-minimal almost embedded hypersur…

We study the number of distinct ways in which a smooth projective surface $X$ can be realized as a smooth toroidal compactification of a ball quotient. It follows from work of Hirzebruch that there are infinitely many distinct ball quotients with birational smooth toroidal compactifications. We take this to its natural…

We study how the notion of tangent space can be extended from smooth manifolds to diffeological spaces, which are generalizations of smooth manifolds that include singular spaces and infinite-dimensional spaces. We focus on two definitions. The internal tangent space of a diffeological space is defined using smooth cur…

A classical result by Cheng in 1976, improved later by Besson and Nadirashvili, says that the multiplicities of the eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator with a smooth potential on a compact Riemannian surface M are bounded in terms of the eigenvalue index and the genus of M. We prove that these multiplicity bounds h…

Proposes a spectral method for jointly smooth functions on multiple manifolds.

Multiplicative bundle gerbes are gerbes over a Lie group which are compatible with the group structure. In this article connections on such bundle gerbes are introduced and studied. It is shown that multiplicative bundle gerbes with connection furnish geometrical constructions of the following objects: smooth central e…

In the framework of Lorentzian warped products, we study the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological model to investigate non-smooth curvatures associated with multiple discontinuities involved in the evolution of the universe. In particular we analyze non-smooth features of the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walke…

Given a sequence of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a $3$-manifold with local bounds on area and genus, we prove subsequential convergence, smooth away from a discrete set, to a smooth embedded limit surface, possibly with multiplicity, and we analyze what happens when one blows up the surfaces near a point where…

The paper provides an algorithm to create curves touching a smooth cubic at specific intersection points.

We study the problem of existence of Kähler--Einstein metrics on smooth Fano threefolds of Picard rank one and anticanonical degree $22$ that admit a faithful action of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{C}^\ast$. We prove that, except possibly two explicitly described cases, all such smooth Fano threefolds are Kähler--…

We prove two explicit bounds for the multiplicities of Steklov eigenvalues $σ_k$ on compact surfaces with boundary. One of the bounds depends only on the genus of a surface and the index $k$ of an eigenvalue, while the other depends as well on the number of boundary components. We also show that on any given smooth Rie…

A 3D area-minimizing current in R^5 has a 2-fold essential singularity.

We investigate the learning rate of multiple kernel learning (MKL) with $\ell_1$ and elastic-net regularizations. The elastic-net regularization is a composition of an $\ell_1$-regularizer for inducing the sparsity and an $\ell_2$-regularizer for controlling the smoothness. We focus on a sparse setting where the total …

Given any admissible $k$-dimensional family of immersions of a given closed oriented surface into an arbitrary closed Riemannian manifold, we prove that the corresponding min-max width for the area is achieved by a smooth (possibly branched) immersed minimal surface with multiplicity one and Morse index bounded by $k$.

Recent research on multiple kernel learning has lead to a number of approaches for combining kernels in regularized risk minimization. The proposed approaches include different formulations of objectives and varying regularization strategies. In this paper we present a unifying general optimization criterion for multip…

Estimates time-varying network connections using multi-stage smoothing.

In this paper we introduce a geometric quantity, the $r$-multiplicity, that controls the length of a smooth curve as it evolves by curve shortening flow. The length estimates we obtain are used to prove results about the level set flow in the plane. If $K$ is locally-connected, connected and compact, then the level set…

We show that if a smooth multiplicative subbundle $S\subseteq TG$ on a groupoid $G\rr P$ is involutive and satisfies completeness conditions, then its leaf space $G/S$ inherits a groupoid structure over the space of leaves of $TP\cap S$ in $P$. As an application, a special class of Dirac groupoids is shown to project b…

Expected centre of mass for random embeddings is constant.

Existing approaches to combine both additive and multiplicative neural units either use a fixed assignment of operations or require discrete optimization to determine what function a neuron should perform. This leads either to an inefficient distribution of computational resources or an extensive increase in the comput…

Unified framework for strain-gradient plasticity from dislocations.

In this paper, we prove that the Morse index of a multiplicity one, smooth, min-max minimal hypersurface is generically equal to the dimension of the homology class detected by the families used in the construction. This confirms part of the program (\cite{marques-icm}, \cite{marques-neves-cycles}, \cite{marques-neves-…
