The hermitian analog of Aleksandrov's area measures of convex bodies is investigated. A characterization of those area measures which arise as the first variation of unitarily invariant valuations is established. General smooth area measures are shown to form a module over smooth valuations and the module of unitarily …

We obtain new general results on the structure of the space of translation invariant continuous valuations on convex sets (a version of the hard Lefschetz theorem). Using these and our previous results we obtain explicit characterization of unitarily invariant translation invariant continuous valuations. It implies new…

Researchers classify and decompose valuations on convex functions.

Given a positive and unitarily invariant Lagrangian L defined in the algebra of Hermitian matrices, and a fixed interval $[a,b]\subset\mathbb R$, we study the action defined in the Lie group of $n\times n$ unitary matrices $\mathcal{U}(n)$ by $S(α)=\int_a^b L(\dotα(t))\,dt\,,$ where $α:[a,b]\to\mathcal{U}(n)$ is a …

We prove Fu's power series conjecture which relates the algebra of isometry invariant valuations on complex space forms to a formal power series from combinatorics which was introduced by Tutte. The $n$-th coefficient of this series is the number of triangulations of a triangle with $3n$ internal edges; or the number o…

Study analyzes perturbations in singular subspaces under random noise.

The local kinematic formulas on complex space forms induce the structure of a commutative algebra on the space $\mathrm{Curv}^{\mathrm{U}(n)*}$ of dual unitarily invariant curvature measures. Building on the recent results from integral geometry in complex space forms, we describe this algebra structure explicitly as a…

Low-rank inducing unitarily invariant norms have been introduced to convexify problems with low-rank/sparsity constraint. They are the convex envelope of a unitary invariant norm and the indicator function of an upper bounding rank constraint. The most well-known member of this family is the so-called nuclear norm. To …

We prove that Nelson's massless scalar field model is infrared divergent in three dimensions. In particular, the Nelson Hamiltonian and the Hamiltonian obtained from Euclidean quantization are not unitarily equivalent. In contrast, for dimensions higher than three the Nelson Hamiltonian has a unique ground state in Foc…

Let p: M -> B be a family of compact manifolds equipped with a unitarily flat vector bundle F -> M. We generalize Igusa's higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion τ(M/B;F) to the case that the fibre-wise cohomology H^*(M/B;F) -> B carries a parallel metric. If moreover M admits a fibre-wise Morse function, we compute the diff…

Study on constant curvature immersions of surfaces into flag manifolds.

When data is sampled from an unknown subspace, principal component analysis (PCA) provides an effective way to estimate the subspace and hence reduce the dimension of the data. At the heart of PCA is the Eckart-Young-Mirsky theorem, which characterizes the best rank k approximation of a matrix. In this paper, we prove …

Groups of importance in group theory have flexible stability properties.

We survey recent results in hermitian integral geometry, i.e. integral geometry on complex vector spaces and complex space forms. We study valuations and curvature measures on complex space forms and describe how the global and local kinematic formulas on such spaces were recently obtained. While the local and global k…

We prove the equality of the analytic torsion and the value at zero of a Ruelle dynamical zeta function associated with an acyclic unitarily flat vector bundle on a closed locally symmetric reductive manifold. This solves a conjecture of Fried. This article should be read in conjunction with an earlier paper by Moscovi…

In recent years, structured matrix recovery problems have gained considerable attention for its real world applications, such as recommender systems and computer vision. Much of the existing work has focused on matrices with low-rank structure, and limited progress has been made matrices with other types of structure. …

Study reflection symmetry and APS boundary conditions on a warped cylinder.

We obtain upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Schrödinger operator $L=Δ_g+q$ depending on integral quantities of the potential $q$ and a conformal invariant called the min-conformal volume. Moreover, when the Schrödinger operator $L$ is positive, integral quantities of $q$ which appear in upper bounds, can be repla…

Let $Γ_1$ and $Γ_2$ be Bieberbach groups contained in the full isometry group $G$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that if the compact flat manifolds $Γ_1\backslash\mathbb{R}^n$ and $Γ_2\backslash\mathbb{R}^n$ are strongly isospectral then the Bieberbach groups $Γ_1$ and $Γ_2$ are representation equivalent, that is, the rig…

Analytic torsion equals dynamical zeta function for certain bundles.

We establish the factorization of Dirac operators on Riemannian submersions of compact spin$^c$ manifolds in unbounded KK-theory. More precisely, we show that the Dirac operator on the total space of such a submersion is unitarily equivalent to the tensor sum of a family of Dirac operators with the Dirac operator on th…

We discuss inverse resonance scattering for the Laplacian on a rotationally symmetric manifold $M = (0,\infty) \times Y$ whose rotation radius is constant outside some compact interval. The Laplacian on $M$ is unitarily equivalent to a direct sum of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with compactly supported potenti…

For the group O(p,q) we give a new construction of its minimal unitary representation via Euclidean Fourier analysis. This is an extension of the q = 2 case, where the representation is the mass zero, spin zero representation realized in a Hilbert space of solutions to the wave equation. The group O(p,q) acts as the Mo…

The aim of this work is to link the quasiconformal geometry of a Euclidean domain $U$ to the spectral properties of its Dirichlet integral $\D$, through the algebra of multipliers $\M(H^{1,2}(U))$ of the Sobolev space. In the main result we prove that a homeomorphism $γ:U\toγ(U)$ between Euclidean domains, giving rise …

We show that the perturbative ${\frak g}$ invariant of rational homology 3-spheres can be recovered from the LMO invariant for any simple Lie algebra ${\frak g}$, i.e, the LMO invariant is universal among the perturbative invariants. This universality was conjectured in [25]. Since the perturbative invariants dominate …
