In this note, we study the local properties of the Chern-scalar curvature function by looking at its linearization. In particular, we study its linearization stability and the structure of the space of Hermitian metrics with prescribed…

In many real-world applications data come as discrete metric spaces sampled around 1-dimensional filamentary structures that can be seen as metric graphs. In this paper we address the metric reconstruction problem of such filamentary…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold with Riemannian distance $\mathsf{d}_g$, and $\mathcal{M}(M)$ be the space of all non-negative Borel measures on $M$, endowed with the Hellinger-Kantorovich distance $\mathsf{H\! K}_{\mathsf{d}_g}$…

Consider the sum of the first $N$ eigenspaces for the Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold. A basis for this space determines a map to Euclidean space and for $N$ sufficiently large the map is an embedding. In analogy with a fruitful idea of…

It is a key to construct a similarity graph in graph-oriented subspace learning and clustering. In a similarity graph, each vertex denotes a data point and the edge weight represents the similarity between two points. There are two popular…
