Our aim is to compare three nerve functors for strict $n$-categories: the Street nerve, the cellular nerve and the multi-simplicial nerve. We show that these three functors are equivalent in some appropriate sense. In particular, the…
Neural network width and depth are fundamental aspects of network topology. Universal approximation theorems provide that with increasing width or depth, there exists a neural network that approximates a function arbitrarily well. These…
There are infinitely many variants of the notion of Kan fibration that, together with suitable choices of cofibrations and the usual notion of weak equivalence of simplicial sets, satisfy Quillen's axioms for a homotopy model category. The…
We show how the success of deep learning could depend not only on mathematics but also on physics: although well-known mathematical theorems guarantee that neural networks can approximate arbitrary functions well, the class of functions of…
Rudyak's conjecture states that cat$(M) \geq$ cat$(N)$ given a degree one map $f:M \to N$ between closed manifolds. We generalize this conjecture to sectional category, and follow the methodology of [5] to get the following result: Given a…
Over the past decade, neural networks have been successful at making predictions from biological sequences, especially in the context of regulatory genomics. As in other fields of deep learning, tools have been devised to extract features…
Raimi's theorem guarantees the existence of a partition of $\mathbb{N}$ into two parts with an unavoidable intersection property: for any finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$, some color class intersects both parts infinitely many times, after…
We present a dataset and experiments on applying recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for guiding clause selection in the connection tableau proof calculus. The RNN encodes a sequence of literals from the current branch of the partial proof…
The notion of polytopal map between two polytopal complexes is defined. Surprisingly, this definition is quite simple and extends naturally those of simplicial and cubical maps. It is then possible to define an induced chain map between the…
We introduce and study a new combinatorial invariant the theta-number $\theta(X)$ of simplicial complexes, and prove that the inequality $\mathcal{C}(X)\leq \theta(X)$ holds for every simplicial complex $X$, where $\mathcal{C}(X)$ denotes…
We establish a flexible generalization of inductive systems of operator systems, which relaxes the usual transitivity (or coherence) condition to an asymptotic version thereof and allows for systems indexed over arbitrary nets. To…
The extraordinary computational power of the brain may be related in part to the fact that each of the smaller neural networks that compose it can behave transiently in many different ways, depending on its inputs. Mathematically, input…
We construct N-complexes of non completely antisymmetric irreducible tensor fields on $\mathbb R^D$ generalizing thereby the usual complex (N=2) of differential forms. These complexes arise naturally in the description of higher spin gauge…
Brain function and connectivity is a pressing mystery in medicine related to many diseases. Neural connectomes have been studied as graphs with graph theory methods including topological methods. Work has started on hypergraph models and…
We propose that simple neural networks (NNs) trained on crossing symmetry can reconstruct conformal correlators restricted to a line to remarkable accuracy. The input is minimal: an external scaling dimension, a spectral gap, and the value…
Coherence theorems for covariant structures carried by a category have traditionally relied on the underlying term rewriting system of the structure being terminating and confluent. While this holds in a variety of cases, it is not a…
Various simplicial complexes can be associated with a graph. Box complexes form an important families of such simplicial complexes and are especially useful for providing lower bounds on the chromatic number of the graph via some of their…
The presented work focuses on problems from determinant theory, set theory and topology. The term graph is the binding element that connects these problems. Graphs are distinguished by their geometrical simplicity, which helps in showing…
Diagram-chasing arguments frequently lead to "magical" relations between distant points of diagrams: exactness implications, connecting morphisms, etc.. These long connections are usually composites of short "unmagical" connections, but the…
A fundamental result in the theory of monads is the characterisation of the category of algebras for a monad in terms of a pullback of the category of presheaves on the category of free algebras: intuitively, this expresses that every…
