We show a distortion lower bound of $\Omega(\log(h)^{1/p})$ when embedding the countably branching hyperbolic tree of height $h$ into a Banach space with an equivalent norm satisfying Rolewicz property $(\beta)$ with modulus of power type…
Let $H := \begin{pmatrix} 1 & {\mathbf R} & {\mathbf R} \\ 0 & 1 &{\mathbf R} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$ denote the Heisenberg group with the usual Carnot-Carath\'eodory metric $d$. It is known (since the work of Pansu and Semmes) that the…
In this article, we give a survey of our construction of a local moduli space of scalar-flat K\"ahler ALE metrics in complex dimension $2$. We also prove an explicit formula for the dimension of this moduli space on a scalar-flat K\"ahler…
Motivated by the manifold hypothesis, which states that data with a high extrinsic dimension may yet have a low intrinsic dimension, we develop refined statistical bounds for entropic optimal transport that are sensitive to the intrinsic…
We study the time complexity of the discrete $k$-center problem and related (exact) geometric set cover problems when $k$ or the size of the cover is small. We obtain a plethora of new results: - We give the first subquadratic algorithm for…
We consider the minimization of theta functions $\theta\_\Lambda(\alpha)=\sum\_{p\in\Lambda}e^{-\pi\alpha|p|^2}$ amongst lattices $\Lambda\subset \mathbb R^d$, by reducing the dimension of the problem, following as a motivation the case…
We study adaptive data-dependent dimensionality reduction in the context of supervised learning in general metric spaces. Our main statistical contribution is a generalization bound for Lipschitz functions in metric spaces that are…
Randomized dimensionality reduction has been recognized as one of the fundamental techniques in handling high-dimensional data. Starting with the celebrated Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma, such reductions have been studied in depth for the…
We prove an inequality related to questions in Approximation Theory, Probability Theory, and to Irregularities of Distribution. Let $h_R$ denote an $L ^{\infty}$ normalized Haar function adapted to a dyadic rectangle $R\subset [0,1] ^{3}$.…
Many algorithms in machine learning and computational geometry require, as input, the intrinsic dimension of the manifold that supports the probability distribution of the data. This parameter is rarely known and therefore has to be…
Diversities are like metric spaces, except that every finite subset, instead of just every pair of points, is assigned a value. Just as there is a theory of minimal distortion embeddings of finite metric spaces into $L_1$, there is a…
For any $\beta > 1$, denoted by $r_n(x,\beta)$ the maximal length of consecutive zeros amongst the first $n$ digits of the $\beta$-expansion of $x\in[0,1]$. The limit superior (respectively limit inferior) of $\frac{r_n(x,\beta)}{n}$ is…
The manifold hypothesis suggests that the generalization performance of machine learning methods improves significantly when the intrinsic dimension of the input distribution's support is low. In the context of KRR, we investigate two…
This paper characterizes the maximum mean discrepancies (MMD) that metrize the weak convergence of probability measures for a wide class of kernels. More precisely, we prove that, on a locally compact, non-compact, Hausdorff space, the MMD…
We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…
Suppose that we have $n$ agents and $n$ items which lie in a shared metric space. We would like to match the agents to items such that the total distance from agents to their matched items is as small as possible. However, instead of having…
We show that any $q$-query locally decodable code (LDC) gives a copy of $\ell_1^k$ with small distortion in the Banach space of $q$-linear forms on $\ell_{p_1}^N\times\cdots\times\ell_{p_q}^N$, provided $1/p_1 + \cdots + 1/p_q \leq 1$ and…
Real continuous submodular functions, as a generalization of the corresponding discrete notion to the continuous domain, gained considerable attention recently. The analog notion for entropy functions requires additional properties: a real…
It is shown in this note that one can decide whether an $n$-dimensional subspace of $\ell_\infty^N$ is isometrically isomorphic to $\ell_\infty^n$ by testing a finite number of determinental inequalities. As a byproduct, an elementary proof…
We consider the minimisation of Dirichlet eigenvalues $\lambda_k$, $k \in \N$, of the Laplacian on cuboids of unit measure in $\R^3$. We prove that any sequence of optimal cuboids in $\R^3$ converges to a cube of unit measure in the sense…
