In the context of state-space models, skeleton-based smoothing algorithms rely on a backward sampling step which by default has a $\mathcal O(N^2)$ complexity (where $N$ is the number of particles). Existing improvements in the literature…

We develop square zero obstruction theory for modules over $\mathbb{E}_1$-algebras in an arbitrary stable (presentably) monoidal $\infty$-category. We explicitly describe the obstruction element as the homotopy class of a canonically…

The paper provides computations of the first non-vanishing $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy sheaves of the orthogonal Stiefel varieties which are relevant for the unstable isometry classification of quadratic forms over smooth affine schemes over…

Local properties of the fundamental group of a path-connected topological space can pose obstructions to the applicability of covering space theory. A generalized covering map is a generalization of the classical notion of covering map…

We derive rational (Sullivan) models for configuration spaces of points on manifolds purely from algebraic considerations via obstruction theory, essentially without the use of analytic or geometric techniques.

This paper gives a uniform, self-contained and direct approach to a variety of obstruction-theoretic problems on manifolds of dimension 7 and 6. We give necessary and sufficient cohomological criteria for the existence of various…

We consider an obstacle problem for elastic curves with fixed ends. We attempt to extend the graph approach provided in [8]. More precisely, we investigate nonexistence of graph solutions for special obstacles and extend the class of…

We investigate necessary conditions for the existence of projections of polytopes that preserve full k-skeleta. More precisely, given the combinatorics of a polytope and the dimension e of the target space, what are obstructions to the…

In this paper we study the deformation and Q-Gorenstein deformation theory of schemes with non-isolated singularities. We obtain obstruction spaces for the existence of deformations and also for local deformations to exist globally. Finally…

Saliency Map, the gradient of the score function with respect to the input, is the most basic technique for interpreting deep neural network decisions. However, saliency maps are often visually noisy. Although several hypotheses were…

We explain the coarse geometric origin of the fact that certain spectral subspaces of topological insulator Hamiltonians are delocalized, in the sense that they cannot admit an orthonormal basis of localized wavefunctions, with respect to…

We describe the behaviour of a free reduced plane projective curve with respect to the deletion, respectively addition, of a smooth conic. These results apply in particular to conic-line arrangements. We present some obstructions to the…

Stability analyses of modern learning systems are frequently derived under smoothness assumptions that are violated by ReLU-type nonlinearities. In this note, we isolate a minimal obstruction by showing that no uniform smoothness-based…

Variational analysis presents a unified theory encompassing in particular both smoothness and convexity. In a Euclidean space, convex sets and smooth manifolds both have straightforward local geometry. However, in the most basic hybrid case…

Let X be a smooth projective Deligne-Mumford stack over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. In this paper we construct the moduli stack of very twisted stable maps, extending the notion of twisted stable maps by Abramovich…

We consider differentiable maps in the setting of Abstract Differential Geometry and we study the conditions that ensure the uniqueness of differentials in this setting. In particular, we prove that smooth maps between smooth manifolds…

Ross and Thomas have shown that subschemes can K-destabilise polarised varieties, yielding a notion known as slope (in)stability for varieties. Here we describe a special situation in which slope instability for varieties (for example of…

The main intention of the paper is to investigate an osculating curve under the conformal map. We obtain a sufficient condition for the conformal invariance of an osculating curve. We also find an equivalent system of a geodesic curve under…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the sufficient condition for the invariance of a normal curve on a smooth immersed surface under isometry. We also find the the deviations of the tangential and normal components of the curve with…

Algebraic varieties which are locally isomorphic to open subsets of affine space will be called {\em plain}. Plain varieties are smooth and rational. The converse is true for curves and surfaces, and unknown in general. It is shown that…
