It is well-known that cross caps on surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space can be expressed in Bruce-West's normal form, which is a special local coordinate system centered at the singular point. In this paper, we show a certain kind of…
We study the property of uniform discreteness within discrete orbits of non-uniform lattices in $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$, acting on $\mathbb{R}^2$ by linear transformations. We provide quantitative consequences of previous results by using…
We prove various estimates for the mean square lattice point discrepancy for dilates of a convex body.
We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for fixed points of contraction maps in the framework of quantum metric spaces, where distinguishability is defined by the $L^2$ norm: $d_Q(\psi_1,\psi_2) = \|\psi_1 - \psi_2\|$. The result…
This paper is devoted to the proof of an isoperimetric property of the double spherical cap rearrangement of planar sets under the assumption of disconnection of non-trivial spherical slices. Additionally, the higher-dimensional case is…
For a given point set $S$ in a plane, we develop a distributed algorithm to compute the $\alpha-$shape of $S$. $\alpha-$shapes are well known geometric objects which generalize the idea of a convex hull, and provide a good definition for…
Recent years have witnessed the surge of learned representations that directly build upon point clouds. Though becoming increasingly expressive, most existing representations still struggle to generate ordered point sets. Inspired by…
For any positive integer $k>1$, we classify the antipodal point arrangements on the sphere $S^k$ up to an isomorphism, by associating a finite complete set of cycle invariants.
We continue the work of [10], studying properties of digital images determined by fixed point invariants. We introduce pointed versions of invariants that were introduced in [10]. We introduce freezing sets and cold sets to show how the…
In the paper two important theorems about complete affine spheres are generalized to the case of statistical structures on abstract manifolds. The assumption about constant sectional curvature is replaced by the assumption that the…
In addition to possessing fractional statistics, anyon excitations of a 2D topologically ordered state can realize symmetry in distinct ways , leading to a variety of symmetry enriched topological (SET) phases. While the symmetry…
We investigate minimal-perimeter configurations of two finite sets of points on the square lattice. This corresponds to a lattice version of the classical double-bubble problem. We give a detailed description of the fine geometry of…
In this paper, we study skew-symmetric $2$-$\{v;r,k;\lambda\}$ supplementary difference sets related to a certain class of complex spherical 2-codes. A classification of such supplementary difference sets is complete for $v \le 51$.
Let S be a compact surface, and M be the double of a handlebody. Given a homotopy class of maps from S to M inducing an isomorphism of fundamental groups, we describe a canonical uniformly lipschitz retraction of the sphere graph of M to…
This paper provides a para-differential calculus toolbox on compact Lie groups and homogeneous spaces. It helps to understand non-local, nonlinear partial differential operators with low regularity on manifolds with high symmetry. In…
We prove that for each positive integer $N$ the set of smooth, zero degree maps $\psi\colon\mathbb{S}^2\to \mathbb{S}^2$ which have the following three properties: (1) there is a unique minimizing harmonic map $u\colon \mathbb{B}^3\to…
This paper is a companion paper to [Lipman and Daubechies 2011]. We provide numerical procedures and algorithms for computing the alignment of and distance between two disk type surfaces. We provide a convergence analysis of the discrete…

Piecewise-linear (PL) Morse theory and discrete Morse theory are used in shape analysis tasks to investigate the topological features of discretized spaces. In spite of their common origin in smooth Morse theory, various notions of critical…
We propose a neural network for 3D point cloud processing that exploits `spherical' convolution kernels and octree partitioning of space. The proposed metric-based spherical kernels systematically quantize point neighborhoods to identify…
