Observational data hints at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincare dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a model universe requires knowing the eigenmodes of the Laplace operator on the space. The present article provides explicit polynomial eigenmodes…

method Examined one-hidden-layer neural networks with random weights, focusing on polynomial activations and their convergence rate in the 2-Wasserstein metric.
result The rate of convergence for polynomial networks to Gaussian processes is $O(n^{-rac{1}{2}})$.
This paper is the second part of a study of the quantum free particle on spherical and hyperbolic spaces by making use of a curvature-dependent formalism. Here we study the analogues, on the three-dimensional spherical and hyperbolic spaces, $S_\k^3$ (κ>0) and $H_\k^3$ (κ<0), to the standard {\itshape spherical wav…
We give a method of decomposing bundle-valued polynomials compatible with the action of the Lie group Spin(n), where important tools are Spin(n)-equivariant operators and their spectral decompositions. In particular, the top irreducible component is realized as an intersection of kernels of these operators.
We carry out the harmonic analysis on four Platonic spherical three-manifolds with different topologies. Starting out from the homotopies (Everitt 2004), we convert them into deck operations, acting on the simply connected three-sphere as the cover, and obtain the corresponding variety of deck groups. For each topology…
We study the uniqueness of a vortex equation involving an entire function on the complex plane. As geometric applications, we show that there is a unique harmonic map u:C→H2 satisfying ∂u=0 with prescribed polynomial Hopf differential; there is a unique affine spherical imm…
We present a simple, general technique for reducing the sample complexity of matrix and tensor decomposition algorithms applied to distributions. We use the technique to give a polynomial-time algorithm for standard ICA with sample complexity nearly linear in the dimension, thereby improving substantially on previous b…

Statistical and machine-learning algorithms are frequently applied to high-dimensional data. In many of these applications data is scarce, and often much more costly than computation time. We provide the first sample-efficient polynomial-time estimator for high-dimensional spherical Gaussian mixtures. For mixtures of a…
We study the Gibbs sampling algorithm for continuous determinantal point processes. We show that, given a warm start, the Gibbs sampler generates a random sample from a continuous k-DPP defined on a d-dimensional domain by only taking poly(k) number of steps. As an application, we design an algorithm to ge…
A Levi nondegenerate real analytic hypersurface M of C^2 represented in local coordinates (z, w) in C^2 by a complex defining equation of the form w = Theta (z, \bar z, \bar w) which satisfies an appropriate reality condition, is spherical if and only if its complex graphing function Theta satisfies an explicitly writt…
We prove boundedness and polynomial decay statements for solutions to the spin ±1 Teukolsky-type equation projected to the ℓ=1 spherical harmonic on Reissner-Nordström spacetime. The equation is verified by a gauge-invariant quantity which we identify and which involves the electromagnetic and curvature tensor…
It is proved that if a Paley-Wiener family of eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in R3 vanishes on a real analytically ruled two-dimensional surface S⊂R3 then S is a union of cones, each of which is contained in a translate of the zero set of a nonzero harmonic homogeneous polynomial…
We develop a solution theory for a generalized electro-magneto static Maxwell system in an exterior domain with anisotropic coefficients converging at infinity with a certain rate towards the identity. Our main goal is to treat right hand side data from some polynomially weighted Sobolev spaces and obtain solutions whi…
The coefficient of the logarithmic term in the entropy on even spheres is re-computed by the local technique of integrating the finite temperature energy density up to the horizon on static d--dimensional de Sitter space and thence finding the entropy by thermodynamics. Numeric evaluation yields the known answer i.e. (…
We study the rational permutation braids, that is the elements of an Artin-Tits group of spherical type which can be written x−1y where x and y are prefixes of the Garside element of the braid monoid. We give a geometric characterization of these braids in type An and Bn and then show that in spherical …
