This is an introductory review of the connection between homotopy theory and path integrals, mainly focus on works done by Schulman [23] that he compared path integral on SO(3) and its universal covering space SU(2), DeWitt and Laidlaw [15]…
A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…
The signature of a path, introduced by K.T. Chen [5] in $1954$, has been extensively studied in recent years. The $2010$ paper [12] of Hambly and Lyons showed that the signature is injective on the space of continuous finite-variation paths…
We work with combinatorial maps to represent graph embeddings into surfaces up to isotopy. The surface in which the graph is embedded is left implicit in this approach. The constructions herein are proof-relevant and stated with a subset of…
Randomly sampling points on surfaces is an essential operation in geometry processing. This sampling is computationally straightforward on explicit meshes, but it is much more difficult on other shape representations, such as widely-used…
Without imposing restrictions on a weighted graph's arc lengths, symmetry structures cannot be expected. But, they exist. To find them, the graphs are decomposed into a component that dictates all closed path properties (e.g., shortest and…
The signature of a path is a non-commutative power series whose coefficients are given by certain iterated integrals over the path coordinates. This series almost uniquely characterizes the path up to translation and reparameterization.…
This paper presents an analytical study of the coexistence of different transport regimes in quasi-one-dimensional surface-disordered waveguides (or electron conductors). To elucidate main features of surface scattering, the case of two…
This paper describes new techniques for learning atlas-like representations of 3D surfaces, i.e. homeomorphic transformations from a 2D domain to surfaces. Compared to prior work, we propose two major contributions. First, instead of…
The signature of a path is a sequence of tensors whose entries are iterated integrals, playing a key role in stochastic analysis and applications. The set of all signature tensors at a particular level gives rise to the universal signature…
Using the path lattice cohomology we provide a conceptual topological characterization of the geometric genus for certain complex normal surface singularities with rational homology sphere links, which is uniformly valid for all…
Developing deep learning techniques for geometric data is an active and fruitful research area. This paper tackles the problem of sphere-type surface learning by developing a novel surface-to-image representation. Using this representation…
We define strict confluent drawing, a form of confluent drawing in which the existence of an edge is indicated by the presence of a smooth path through a system of arcs and junctions (without crossings), and in which such a path, if it…
Generalized splines are an algebraic combinatorial framework that generalizes and unifies various established concepts across different fields, most notably the classical notion of splines and the topological notion of GKM theory. The…
The aim of this paper is to prove a uniform Fourier restriction estimate for certain $2-$dimensional surfaces in $\mathbb R^{2n}$. These surfaces are the image of complex polynomial curves $\gamma(z) = (p_1(z), \dots, p_n(z))$, equipped…
This paper proposes a method for computing the visible occluding contours of subdivision surfaces. The paper first introduces new theory for contour visibility of smooth surfaces. Necessary and sufficient conditions are introduced for when…
The (parallel) linear transports along paths in vector bundles are axiomatically described. Their general form and certain properties are found. It is shown that these transports are locally (i.e. along every fixed path) always Euclidean…
This memoir is devoted to the study of formal-analytic arithmetic surfaces. These are arithmetic counterparts, in the context of Arakelov geometry, of germs of smooth complex-analytic surfaces along a projective complex curve.…
Incidence theorems concern configurations of points, lines, and, more generally, higher-dimensional subspaces in projective space. Broadly speaking, such theorems fall into two classes: those that hold over an arbitrary division ring, such…
In this article, we establish some new second main theorems for meromorphic mappings of $\mathbb C^m$ into $\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C)$ and moving hypersurfaces with truncated counting functions. A uniqueness theorem for these mappings sharing…
