Roughly, a metric space has padding parameter $\beta$ if for every $\Delta>0$, there is a stochastic decomposition of the metric points into clusters of diameter at most $\Delta$ such that every ball of radius $\gamma\Delta$ is contained in…

In many practical applications it is important to build symmetries into neural network architectures. Consider the important case of permutation symmetry on point clouds consisting of $n$ points in $d$ dimensions. In this case the network…

For $n\in \mathbb{N}$ consider the $n$-dimensional hypercube as equal to the vector space $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, where $\mathbb{F}_2$ is the field of size two. Endow $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with the Hamming metric, i.e., with the metric induced by the…

Given an arbitrary $1$-Lipschitz function $f$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n $, we find a $k$-dimensional subtorus $M \subseteq \mathbb{T}^n$, parallel to the axes, such that the restriction of $f$ to the subtorus $M$ is nearly a constant…

An $\ell_p$ oblivious subspace embedding is a distribution over $r \times n$ matrices $\Pi$ such that for any fixed $n \times d$ matrix $A$, $$\Pr_{\Pi}[\textrm{for all }x, \ \|Ax\|_p \leq \|\Pi Ax\|_p \leq \kappa \|Ax\|_p] \geq 9/10,$$…

We derive a dimensionally-reduced limit theory for an $n$-dimensional nonlinear elastic body that is slender along $k$ dimensions. The starting point is to view an elastic body as an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold together with a not…

Given metric spaces $(X,d)$ and $(Y,\rho)$ and an ordering $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ of $(X,d)$, an embedding $f: X \rightarrow Y$ is said to have a prioritized distortion $\alpha(\cdot)$, if for any pair $x_j,x'$ of distinct points in $X$, the…

We give the first non-trivial decremental dynamic embedding of a weighted, undirected graph $G$ into $\ell_p$ space. Given a weighted graph $G$ undergoing a sequence of edge weight increases, the goal of this problem is to maintain a…

Frechet's classical isometric embedding argument has evolved to become a major tool in the study of metric spaces. An important example of a Frechet embedding is Bourgain's embedding. The authors have recently shown that for every e>0 any…

In this paper we give a lower bound for the least distortion embedding of a distance regular graph into Euclidean space. We use the lower bound for finding the least distortion for Hamming graphs, Johnson graphs, and all strongly regular…

We introduce and study finite $d$-volumes - the high dimensional generalization of finite metric spaces. Having developed a suitable combinatorial machinery, we define $\ell_1$-volumes and show that they contain Euclidean volumes and…

Binary embedding is the problem of mapping points from a high-dimensional space to a Hamming cube in lower dimension while preserving pairwise distances. An efficient way to accomplish this is to make use of fast embedding techniques…

The present manuscript aims to derive an expression for the lower bound of the modulus of the Dirichlet eta function on vertical lines $\Re(s)=\alpha$. The approach employs concepts of two-dimensional principal component analysis built on a…

We study the design of embeddings into Euclidean space with outliers. Given a metric space $(X,d)$ and an integer $k$, the goal is to embed all but $k$ points in $X$ (called the ``outliers") into $\ell_2$ with the smallest possible…

Let $\mathsf{S}_1$ (the Schatten--von Neumann trace class) denote the Banach space of all compact linear operators $T:\ell_2\to \ell_2$ whose nuclear norm $\|T\|_{\mathsf{S}_1}=\sum_{j=1}^\infty\sigma_j(T)$ is finite, where…

The classic lower bound of Kuhn, Moscibroda and Wattenhofer [JACM 2016] states that approximate maximum matching and approximate vertex cover (among other problems) in the LOCAL model require $\Omega(\min\{\sqrt{\frac{\log n}{\log\log n}},…

We derive and analyze an infinite-dimensional semidefinite program which computes least distortion embeddings of flat tori $\mathbb{R}^n/L$, where $L$ is an $n$-dimensional lattice, into Hilbert spaces. This enables us to provide a constant…

Many problems in machine learning can be formulated as optimizing a convex functional over a vector space of measures. This paper studies the convergence of the mirror descent algorithm in this infinite-dimensional setting. Defining Bregman…

For $p\in (1,\infty)$ let $\mathscr{P}_p(\mathbb{R}^3)$ denote the metric space of all $p$-integrable Borel probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^3$, equipped with the Wasserstein $p$ metric $\mathsf{W}_p$. We prove that for every…

We study embedding a subset $K$ of the unit sphere to the Hamming cube $\{-1,+1\}^m$. We characterize the tradeoff between distortion and sample complexity $m$ in terms of the Gaussian width $\omega(K)$ of the set. For subspaces and several…
