We establish the deformation theory of Lie groupoid morphisms, describe the corresponding deformation cohomology of morphisms, and show the properties of the cohomology. We prove its invariance under isomorphisms of morphisms. Additionally,…
In this paper, for n a positve integer, we compute the number of n degree representations for a dihedral group G of order 2m, m \geq 3 and the dimensions of the corresponding spaces of G invariant bilinear forms over a complex field C. We…
We propose to learn non-convex regularizers with a prescribed upper bound on their weak-convexity modulus. Such regularizers give rise to variational denoisers that minimize a convex energy. They rely on few parameters (less than 15,000)…
We study deformations of Lie groupoids by means of the cohomology which controls them. This cohomology turns out to provide an intrinsic model for the cohomology of a Lie groupoid with values in its adjoint representation. We prove several…
We study ODEs with vector fields given by general Schwartz distributions, and we show that if we perturb such an equation by adding an "infinitely regularizing" path, then it has a unique solution and it induces an infinitely smooth flow of…
This paper proposes a new way of regularizing an inverse problem in imaging (e.g., deblurring or inpainting) by means of a deep generative neural network. Compared to end-to-end models, such approaches seem particularly interesting since…
In any dimension $n$, we determine the Cheeger constant and the Cheeger sets of the Gaussian mixture $\mu(x) = p\gamma(x-a) + (1-p)\gamma(x-b)$, where $p \in [0,1]$, $a,b \in \mathbb{R}^n$, and $\gamma : \mathbb{R}^n \to (0,\infty)$ denotes…
We succeed in writing 2-dimensional conformally invariant non-linear elliptic PDE (harmonic map equation, prescribed mean curvature equations...etc) in divergence form. This divergence free quantities generalize to target manifolds without…
We investigate the employment of a non-perturbative regularization scheme -- the spectral regularization, which is based on the gauge technique, previously implemented in the context of chiral quark models -- in the study of the gauge…
Regularization methods are a key tool in the solution of inverse problems. They are used to introduce prior knowledge and make the approximation of ill-posed (pseudo-)inverses feasible. In the last two decades interest has shifted from…
We obtain measure rigidity results for stationary measures of random walks generated by diffeomorphisms, and for actions of $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ on smooth manifolds. Our main technical result, from which the rest of the…
Many materials of contemporary interest, such as gels, biological tissues and elastomers, are easily deformed but essentially incompressible. Traditional linear theory of elasticity implements incompressibility only to first order and thus…
We consider efficient methods for computing solutions to dynamic inverse problems, where both the quantities of interest and the forward operator (measurement process) may change at different time instances but we want to solve for all the…
We consider families of geometries of D--dimensional space, described by a finite number of parameters. Starting from the De Witt metric we extract a unique integration measure which turns out to be a geometric invariant, i.e. independent…
The renormalization algorithm based on regularization methods with two regulators is analyzed by means of explicit computations. We show in particular that regularization by higher covariant derivative terms can be complemented with…
An algebraic deformation theory of dialgebra morphisms is obtained.
Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a complete metric measure space, with $\mu$ a locally doubling measure, that supports a local weak $L^2$-Poincar\'e inequality. By assuming a heat semigroup type curvature condition, we prove that Cheeger-harmonic…
We sketch the construction of a gauge invariant Exact Renormalization Group (ERG). Starting from Polchinski's equation, the emphasis is on how a series of ideas have combined to yield the gauge invariant formalism. A novel symmetry of the…
In this paper, we study a special type of cutoff regularization in the coordinate representation. We show how this approach unites such concepts and properties as an explicit cut, a spectral representation, a homogenization, and a…
We report on results about a study of algebraic graph invariants, based on computer exploration, and motivated by graph-isomorphism and reconstruction problems.
