We consider the topological and geometric reconstruction of a geodesic subspace of $\mathbb{R}^N$ both from the \v{C}ech and Vietoris-Rips filtrations on a finite, Hausdorff-close, Euclidean sample. Our reconstruction technique leverages…

Metrics on shape space are used to describe deformations that take one shape to another, and to determine a distance between them. We study a family of metrics on the space of curves, that includes several recently proposed metrics, for…

We develop a new method for visualizing and refining the invariances of learned representations. Specifically, we test for a general form of invariance, linearization, in which the action of a transformation is confined to a low-dimensional…

We take a three dimensional Euclidian metric in toroidal coordinates and consider the corresponding Laplace equation. The simplest solution of this equation is taken. Based on this we build a Weyl space-time. This space-time is transformed…
