The paper proves symplectic neighbourhood theorems for stratified subspaces.

In this article we study Whitney (B) regular stratified spaces with the action of a compact Lie group $G$ which preserves the strata. We prove an equivariant submersion theorem and use it to show that such a $G$-stratified space carries a system of $G$-equivariant control data. As an application, we show that if $A \su…

Control data constructed for smooth weak deformation retraction of stratified spaces.

Researchers analyze the structure of token spaces in large language models.

This paper investigates the generalization of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to Riemannian manifolds. We first propose a new and general type of family of subspaces in manifolds that we call barycentric subspaces. They are implicitly defined as the locus of points which are weighted means of $k+1$ reference points.…

New method accelerates large margin metric learning for nearest neighbor classification.

Given a Lie group G whose Lie algebra is endowed with a nondegenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form, we construct a Poisson algebra of continuous functions on a certain open subspace R of the space of representations in G of the fundamental group of a compact connected orientable topological surface with finitely m…

By considering homotopies that preserve the stratification, one obtains a natural notion of homotopy for stratified spaces. In this short note, we introduce invariants of stratified homotopy, the stratified homotopy groups. We show that they satisify a stratified version of Whitehead's theorem. As an example, we introd…

We construct a model space $C(\gsp(\bR^{2n}))$ for the variety of Abelian simply transitive groups of affine transformations of type ${\rm Sp}(\bR^{2n})$. The model is stratified and its principal stratum is a Zariski-open subbundle of a natural vector bundle over the Grassmannian of Lagrangian subspaces in $\bR^{2n}$.…

Extends h-principle to stratified spaces using sheaf and jet theories.

We derive spectral sequences for the intersection homology of stratified fibrations and approximate tubular neighborhoods in manifold stratified spaces. These neighborhoods include regular neighborhoods in PL stratified spaces.

Symplectic embedding extended to stratified spaces.

Paper proves Whitney stratified spaces can be given a conically smooth structure.

Stratified models depend in an arbitrary way on a selected categorical feature that takes $K$ values, and depend linearly on the other $n$ features. Laplacian regularization with respect to a graph on the feature values can greatly improve the performance of a stratified model, especially in the low-data regime. A sign…

We study bordism groups and bordism homology theories based on pseudomanifolds and stratified pseudomanifolds. The main seam of the paper demonstrates that when we uses classes of spaces determined by local link properties, the stratified and unstratified bordism theories are identical; this includes the known examples…

In this paper we introduce the notion of a smooth structure on a stratified space, the notion of a Poisson smooth structure and the notion of a weakly symplectic smooth structure on a stratified symplectic space, refining the concept of a stratified symplectic Poisson algebra introduced by Sjamaar and Lerman. We show t…

Skeleta and other pure subsets of manifold stratified spaces are shown to have neighborhoods which are teardrops of stratified approximate fibrations (under dimension and compactness assumptions). In general, the stratified approximate fibrations cannot be replaced by bundles, and the teardrops cannot be replaced by ma…

Jet spaces on Carnot groups have a canonical Lie group structure.

Paper proves collapsing result for orbifolds without curvature bounds.

We show that conically smooth stratified spaces embed fully faithfully into $\infty$-categories. This articulates a stratified generalization of the homotopy hypothesis proposed by Grothendieck. As such, each $\infty$-category defines a stack on conically smooth stratified spaces, and we identify the descent conditions…

We develop a theory of tubular neighborhoods for the lower strata in manifold stratified spaces with two strata. In these topologically stratified spaces, manifold approximate fibrations and teardrops play the role that fibre bundles and mapping cylinders play in smoothly stratified spaces. Applications include the cla…

Studied $L^2-$invariants on stratified spaces, proving their stability.

Our objective is to develop a stratified Morse theory with tangential conditions. We define a continuous strata-wise smooth Morse function on an abstract stratified space by using control conditions and radiality assumptions on the gradient vector field. For critical points of a Morse function one can show that the loc…

Paper classifies pseudomanifolds over stratified spaces.

We introduce a family of extremal polynomials associated with the prolongation of a stratified nilpotent Lie algebra. These polynomials are related to a new algebraic characterization of abnormal subriemannian geodesics in stratified nilpotent Lie groups. They satisfy a set of remarkable structure relations that are us…

A stratified bundle is a fibered space in which strata are classical bundles and in which attachment of strata is controlled by a structure category of fibers. Well known results on fibre bundles are shown to be true for stratified bundles; namely the pull back theorem, the bundle theorem and the principal bundle theor…

Proves Verdier duality for sheaves on stratified spaces.

In a previous article the author extended the Witten deformation to singular spaces with cone-like singularities and to a class of Morse functions called admissible Morse functions. The method applies in particular to complex cones and stratified Morse functions in the sense of the theory developed by Goresky and MacPh…

The study lists low-dimensional stratified groups and their properties.

We introduce the notions of a differentiable groupoid and a differentiable stratified groupoid, generalizations of Lie groupoids in which the spaces of objects and arrows have the structures of differentiable spaces, respectively differentiable stratified spaces, compatible with the groupoid structure. After studying b…

For a stratified group $G$, we construct a class of polarised Lie groups, which we call modifications of $G$, that are locally contactomorphic to it. Vice versa, we show that if a polarised group is locally contactomorphic to a stratified group $G$, whose Lie algebra has finite Tanaka prolongation, then it must be a mo…

The main result of this paper is a sufficient condition in order to have a compact Thom-Mather stratified pseudomanifold endowed with a $\hat{c}$-iterated edge metric on its regular part $q$-parabolic. Moreover, besides stratified pseudomanifolds, the $q$-parabolicity of other classes of singular spaces, such as compac…

Stratify unifies and improves multi-step forecasting strategies.

Stratified models are models that depend in an arbitrary way on a set of selected categorical features, and depend linearly on the other features. In a basic and traditional formulation a separate model is fit for each value of the categorical feature, using only the data that has the specific categorical value. To thi…

This article is a survey of recent work of the author, together with Markus Banagl, Eric Leichtnam, Rafe Mazzeo, and Paolo Piazza, on the Hodge theory of stratified spaces. We discuss how to resolve a Thom-Mather stratified space to a manifold with corners with an iterated fibration structure and the generalization of …

A stratified Lie system is a nonautonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations on a manifold $M$ described by a $t$-dependent vector field $X=\sum_{α=1}^rg_αX_α$, where $X_1,\ldots,X_r$ are vector fields on $M$ spanning an $r$-dimensional Lie algebra that are tangent to the strata of a stratification …

In this article we prove that stratified spaces and other geometric subfamilies satisfy categorical Fraïssé properties, a matter that might be of interest for both geometers and logicians. As a motivation we show a new example of a stratified pseudomanifold that satisfies the finite oscillation property with respect to…

This paper surveys the significant progress over the past couple of decades in the theory of stratified spaces through the application of controlled methods as well as through the application of intersection homology.

We lay the foundations for a theory of divergence-measure fields in noncommutative stratified nilpotent Lie groups. Such vector fields form a new family of function spaces, which generalize in a sense the $BV$ fields. They provide the most general setting to establish Gauss-Green formulas for vector fields of low regul…

For each submanifold of a stratified group, we find a number and a measure only depending on its tangent bundle, the grading and the fixed Riemannian metric. In two step stratified groups, we show that such number and measure coincide with the Hausdorff dimension and with the spherical Hausdorff measure of the submanif…
