We introduce a sub-symmetry of a differential system as an infinitesimal transformation of a subset of the system that leaves the subset invariant on the solution set of the entire system. We discuss the geometrical meaning and properties…
Depth is a complexity measure for natural systems of the kind studied in statistical physics and is defined in terms of computational complexity. Depth quantifies the length of the shortest parallel computation required to construct a…
We show that the set of all measures on any measurable space is a complete lattice, i.e. every collection of measures has both a greatest lower bound and a least upper bound.
In this work, the dual flatness, which is connected with Statistics and Information geometry, of general $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics (a new class of Finsler metrics) is studied. A nice characterization for such metrics to be dually flat under…
We give a metric characterization of the scalar curvature of a smooth Riemannian manifold, analyzing the maximal distance between $(n+1)$ points in infinitesimally small neighborhoods of a point. Since this characterization is purely in…
In this paper we consider strata of flat metrics coming from quadratic differentials (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simple closed curves to be…
In this paper, we consider a Generalized Bernstein Theorem for a type of generalized minimal surfaces, namely minimal Plateau surfaces. We show that if an orientable minimal Plateau surface is stable and has quadratic area growth in…
Modern geometric measure theory, developed largely to solve the Plateau problem, has generated a great deal of technical machinery which is unfortunately regarded as inaccessible by outsiders. Some of its tools (e.g., flat norm distance and…
Flatness of a plate is a parameter has been put under consideration for long time. Factors influencing the accuracy of this parameter have been recognized and examined carefully but placed scatterringly. Beside that those reports have not…
Quasi-symmetry of a steady magnetic field means integrability of first-order guiding-centre motion. Here we derive many restrictions on the possibilities for a quasi-symmetry. We also derive an analogue of the Grad-Shafranov equation for…
This article overviews how gradient flows, and discretizations thereof, are useful to design and analyze optimization and sampling algorithms. The interplay between optimization, sampling, and gradient flows is an active research area; our…
Assuming a-priori a smooth generating vector field, we introduce a generally covariant measure of the flow geometry called the referential gradient of the flow. The main result is the explicit relation between the referential gradient and…
We define new geometric constants for normed planes, determine their optimal values, and characterize types of planes for which these optimal values are attained. Relations of these constants to several topics, such as areas and distances…
Symmetry distills the simplicity of natural laws from the complexity of physical phenomena. The symmetry principle is of vital importance in various aspects of modern physics, including analyzing atomic spectra, determining fundamental…
We present new abstract results on the interrelation between the minimizing movement scheme for gradient flows along a sequence of Gamma-converging functionals and the gradient flow motion for the corresponding limit functional, in a…
How to find flat minima? We propose running normalized gradient descent, usually reserved for nonsmooth optimization, with sufficiently slowly diminishing step sizes. This induces implicit regularization towards flat minima if an…
We consider a general formulation of gradient flow evolution for problems whose natural framework is the one of metric spaces. The applications we deal with are concerned with the evolution of {\it capacitary measures} with respect to the…
We determine the variance for the fluctuations of the arithmetic measures obtained by collecting all closed geodesics on the modular surface with the same discriminant and ordering them by the latter. This arithmetic variance differs by…
In this paper we introduce flat grafting as a deformation of quadratic differentials on a surface of finite type that is analogous to the grafting map on hyperbolic surfaces. Flat grafting maps are generic in the strata structure and…
The problem of proper symmetry definition for constraint dynamical systems with Hamiltonians is considered. Finally, we choose a definition of symmetry which agrees with the analogous definition used for the non-constraint dynamical systems…
