We recall the Chernoff-Marsden definition of weak symplectic structure and give a rigorous treatment of the functional analysis and geometry of weak symplectic Banach spaces. We define the Maslov index of a continuous path of Fredholm pairs of Lagrangian subspaces in continuously varying Banach spaces. We derive basic …

Study on fourth order Lamm-Riviere system for biharmonic mappings in 4D.

We discuss the maximum modulus principle, and weak unique continuation, for CR functions on an abstract almost CR manifold M. We investigate these matters under the assumption of weak pseudoconcavity, and obtain sharp results about propagation along Sussmann leaves.

A new definition of continuous-time equilibrium controls is introduced. As opposed to the standard definition, which involves a derivative-type operation, the new definition parallels how a discrete-time equilibrium is defined, and allows for unambiguous economic interpretation. The terms "strong equilibria" and "weak …

Defines weak geodesics on specific subsets of manifolds.

We are analysing the convexity and continuity properties of the Mabuchi functional along weak geodesics. The key technical point in our paper is the global approximation of weak geodesics obtained via a well-chosen family of Monge-Ampère equations.

Paper explores weak solutions' regularity in critical dimensions without conservation law.

The continuity method is used to deform the cone angle of a weak conical Kähler-Einstein metric with cone singularities along a smooth anti-canonical divisor on a smooth Fano manifold. This leads to an alternative proof of Donaldson's Openness Theorem on deforming cone angle \cite{Don} by combining it with the regulari…

We consider a continuous curve of self-adjoint Fredholm extensions of a curve of closed symmetric operators with fixed minimal domain $D_m$ and fixed {\it intermediate} domain $D_W$. Our main example is a family of symmetric generalized operators of Dirac type on a compact manifold with boundary with varying well-posed…

We give a simple proof of weak Unique Continuation Property for perturbed Dirac operators, using the Carleman inequality. We apply the result to a class of perturbations of the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations that arise in Floer theory.

In this paper we find tight sufficient conditions for the continuity of the value of the utility maximization problem from terminal wealth with respect to the convergence in distribution of the underlying processes. We also establish a weak convergence result for the terminal wealths of the optimal portfolios. Finally,…

Study the limits of discrete DPPs to continuous DPPs as set size grows.

Let D be a self-adjoint differential operator of Dirac type acting on sections in a vector bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold M. Let H be a closed D-invariant subspace of the Hilbert space of square integrable sections. Suppose D restricted to H is semibounded. We show that every element u in H has the weak uniqu…

IRL addresses weaknesses in DDPG and A3C for continuous reinforcement learning.

Weak labels can significantly speed up learning for strong tasks.

We propose a unified analysis of a whole spectrum of no-arbitrage conditions for financial market models based on continuous semimartingales. In particular, we focus on no-arbitrage conditions weaker than the classical notions of No Arbitrage and No Free Lunch with Vanishing Risk. We provide a complete characterisation…

We assign a measure to an upper semicontinuous function which is subharmonic with respect to the mean curvature operator, so that it agrees with the mean curvature of its graph when the function is smooth. We prove that the measure is weakly continuous with respect to almost everywhere convergence. We also establish a …

Investigates how diversification preferences relate to risk attitudes.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak Kahler-Ricci flow on projective varieties with log terminal singularities. It is also shown that the weak Kahler-Ricci flow can be uniquely continued through divisorial contractions and flips if they exist. We then propose an analytic version of the Minimal Model Progra…

We give a proof that Brakke's mean curvature flow under the unit density assumption is smooth almost everywhere in space-time. More generally, if the velocity is equal in a weak sense to its mean curvature plus some given α-Hölder continuous vector field, then we show C^{2,α} regularity almost everywhere.

We establish the weak continuity of the Gauss-Coddazi-Ricci system for isometric embedding with respect to the uniform $L^p$-bounded solution sequence for $p>2$, which implies that the weak limit of the isometric embeddings of the manifold is still an isometric embedding. More generally, we establish a compensated comp…

This paper considers a sequence of discrete-time random walk markets with a safe and a single risky investment opportunity, and gives conditions for the existence of arbitrages or free lunches with vanishing risk, of the form of waiting to buy and selling the next period, with no shorting, and furthermore for weak conv…

Study shows continuous evolution of curves in Fréchet distance.

The Lebesgue property (order-continuity) of a monotone convex function on a solid vector space of measurable functions is characterized in terms of (1) the weak inf-compactness of the conjugate function on the order-continuous dual space, (2) the attainment of the supremum in the dual representation by order-continuous…

Study the spaces of flat connections for classical Lie groups using Chern-Weil theory.

A slice distance for the class of weak abelian Lp-bundles in 3 dimensions was introduced in a previous article in collaboration with Tristan Rivière, where it was used to prove the closure of such class of bundles for the weak Lp-convergence. We further investigate this distance here, and we prove more properties of it…

Flat isometric immersions in 3D are developable if they are $C^{1,2/3}$ regular.

We study finite-time collapsing limits of the continuity method. When the continuity method starting from a rational initial Kähler metric on a projective manifold encounters a finite-time volume collapsing, this projective manifold admits a Fano fibration over a lower dimensional base. In this case, we prove the conti…

In this paper, we continue to study the Calabi flow on complex tori. We develop a new method to obtain an explicit bound of the curvature of the Calabi flow. As an application, we show that when $n=2$, the Calabi flow starting from a weak Kähler metric will become smooth immediately. It implies that in our settings, th…

We consider rough metrics on smooth manifolds and corresponding Laplacians induced by such metrics. We demonstrate that globally continuous heat kernels exist and are Hölder continuous locally in space and time. This is done via local parabolic Harnack estimates for weak solutions of operators in divergence form with b…

In this article, we consider the Angenent-Caputo-Knopf's Ricci Flow through neckpinch singularities. We will explain how one can see the A-C-K's Ricci flow through a neckpinch singularity as a flow of integral current spaces. We then prove the continuity of this weak flow with respect to the Sormani-Wenger Intrinsic Fl…

In this paper we provide a characterization of intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups in terms of their distributional gradients. Moreover, we prove the equivalence of different notions of continuous weak solutions to the equation φ_y+ [φ^{2}/2]_t=w, where w is a bounded function depending o…

In the category of metrics with conical singularities along a smooth divisor with angle in $(0, 2π)$, we show that locally defined weak solutions ($C^{1,1}-$solutions) to the Kähler-Einstein equations actually possess maximum regularity, which means the metrics are actually Hölder continuous in the singular polar coord…
