In 1941 Sumner Myers proved that if the Ricci curvature of a complete Riemann manifold has a positive infimum then the manifold is compact and its diameter is bounded in terms of the infimum. Subsequently the curvature hypothesis has been weakened, and in this paper we weaken it further in an attempt to find the ultima…

Two new metrics assess LLM faithfulness and entropy, improving model reliability.

We prove asymptotic faithfulness for the quantum $\mathrm{Sp}(4)$ mapping class group representation. This provides the first example of asymptotic faithfulness lying outside of the $A_n$ family. The methods used are generalized from the proof of asymptotic faithfulness for skein $SU(2)_k$ mapping class group represent…

Study evaluates feature ranking methods' faithfulness in ML models, improving with dimensionality reduction.

The main goal of this paper is to compute $μ(\g)$ and $μ_{nil}(\g)$ for each nilpotent Lie algebra $\g$ of dimension 6 over a field of characteristic zero $\k$. Here $μ(\g)$ and $μ_{nil}(\g)$ is the minimal dimension of a faithful representation of $\g$ and the minimal dimension of a faithful nilrepresentation of $\g$,…

The Burau representation is a natural action of the braid group B_n on the free Z[t,t^{-1}]-module of rank n-1. It is a longstanding open problem to determine for which values of n this representation is faithful. It is known to be faithful for n=3. Moody has shown that it is not faithful for n>8 and Long and Paton imp…

Paper relaxes faithfulness assumption for causal discovery using interventions.

In this article we study the space of left- and bi-invariant orderings on a torsion-free nilpotent group $G$. We will show that generally the set of such orderings is equipped with a faithful action of the automorphism group of $G$. We prove a result which allows us to establish the same conclusion when $G$ is assumed …

We show the set of faithful representations of a closed orientable hyperbolic surface group is dense in both irreducible components of the PSL(2,K) representation variety, where K is the field of real or complex numbers, answering a question of W. Goldman. We also prove the existence of faithful representations into PU…

This paper deals with chain graphs under the alternative Andersson-Madigan-Perlman (AMP) interpretation. In particular, we present a constraint based algorithm for learning an AMP chain graph a given probability distribution is faithful to. We also show that the extension of Meek's conjecture to AMP chain graphs does n…

We analyze two braid group representations and their reductions modulo p.

Based on a normal form for braid group elements suggested by Dehornoy, we prove several representations of braid groups by automorphisms of a free group to be faithful. This includes a simple proof of the standard Artin's representation being faithful.

We show that a certain linear representation of the singular braid monoid on three strands is faithful. Furthermore we will give a second - group theoretically motivated - solution to the word problem in this monoid.

This paper deals with chain graphs under the classic Lauritzen-Wermuth-Frydenberg interpretation. We prove that the regular Gaussian distributions that factorize with respect to a chain graph $G$ with $d$ parameters have positive Lebesgue measure with respect to $\mathbb{R}^d$, whereas those that factorize with respect…

The faithfulness of the orthogonal group case of Brauer's representation of the Brauer centralizer algebras restricted to their Temperley-Lieb subalgebras, which was established by Vaughan Jones, is here proved in a new, elementary and self-contained, manner.

Consider the problem of learning, from non-experimental data, the causal (Markov equivalence) structure of the true, unknown causal Bayesian network (CBN) on a given, fixed set of (categorical) variables. This learning problem is known to be so hard that there is no learning algorithm that converges to the truth for al…

In this paper we construct a faithful representation of the mapping class group of the genus two surface into a group of matrices over the complex numbers.

We generalize the asymptotic faithfulness of the skein quantum $SU(2)$ representations of mapping class groups of orientable closed surfaces to skein $SU(3)$. Skein quantum representations of mapping class groups are different from the Reshetikin-Turaev ones from quantum groups or geometric quantization because they ar…

The Lawrence representation $L_{n,m}$ is a family of homological representation of the braid group $B_n$, which specializes to the reduced Burau and the Lawrence-Krammer representation when $m$ is 1 and 2. In this article we show that the Lawrence representation is faithful for $m \geq 2$.

For any topological groupoid G and any homomorphism from a locally compact Hausdorff topological group K to G, we construct an associated monodromy group.
