48 results for waist area

Consider a non-planar orientable minimal surface S in a slab which is possibly with genus or with more than two boundary components. We show that there exists a catenoidal waist W in the slab whose flux has the same vertical component as S such that Area(S)>= Area(W), provided the intersections of S with horizontal pla…

We prove several new results around Gromov's waist theorem. We give a simple proof of Vaaler's theorem on sections of the unit cube using the Borsuk--Ulam--Crofton technique. We consider waists of real and complex projective spaces, flat tori, convex bodies in Euclidean space. We establish waist-type results in terms o…

We introduce two numerical invariants, the waist and the trunk of knots. The waist of a closed incompressible surface in the complement of a knot is defined as the minimal intersection number of all compressing disks for the surface in the 3-sphere and the knot. Then the waist of a knot is defined as the maximal waist …

The waist size of a cusp in an orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold is the length of the shortest nontrivial curve generated by a parabolic isometry in the maximal cusp boundary. Previously, it was shown that the smallest possible waist size, which is 1, is realized only by the cusp in the figure-eight knot complement. In …

This paper presents connections between Gromov's work on isoperimetry of waists and Milman's work on the MM-ellipsoid of a convex body. It is proven that any convex body KRnK \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n has a linear image K~Rn\tilde{K} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n of volume one satisfying the following waist inequality: Any continu…

The waist inequality states that for a continuous map from S^n to R^q, not all fibers can have small (n-q)-dimensional volume. We construct maps for which most fibers have small (n-q)-dimensional volume and all fibers have bounded (n-q)-dimensional volume.

Modern machine learning algorithms are increasingly computationally demanding, requiring specialized hardware and distributed computation to achieve high performance in a reasonable time frame. Many hyperparameter search algorithms have been proposed for improving the efficiency of model selection, however their adapta…

We introduce a new critical value c(L)c_\infty(L) for Tonelli Lagrangians LL on the tangent bundle of the 2-sphere without minimizing measures supported on a point. We show that c(L)c_\infty(L) is strictly larger than the Mañé critical value c(L)c(L), and on every energy level e(c(L),c(L))e\in(c(L),c_\infty(L)) there exist infinitely…

In this paper, we introduce the LpL_p geominimal surface area for all np<1-n\neq p<1, which extends the classical geominimal surface area (p=1p=1) by Petty and the LpL_p geominimal surface area by Lutwak (p>1p>1). Our extension of the LpL_p geominimal surface area is motivated by recent work on the extension of the LpL_p a…

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 …

Existing attention mechanisms are trained to attend to individual items in a collection (the memory) with a predefined, fixed granularity, e.g., a word token or an image grid. We propose area attention: a way to attend to areas in the memory, where each area contains a group of items that are structurally adjacent, e.g…
