The existence of topological invariants analogous to Chern/Pontryagin classes for a standard $SO(D)$ or $SU(N)$ connection, but constructed out of the torsion tensor, is discussed. These invariants exhibit many of the features of the…
In this paper, we show the possibility of recovering a sum of Dirac measures on the rotation group $SO(3)$ from its low degree moments with respect to Wigner D-functions only. The main Theorem of the paper states, that exact recovery from…
In this study, a novel feature coding method that exploits invariance for transformations represented by a finite group of orthogonal matrices is proposed. We prove that the group-invariant feature vector contains sufficient discriminative…
Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…
Understanding the emergence of the thermodynamic arrow of time in microscopic systems is of fundamental importance, particularly given that unitary evolution preserves time-reversal symmetry. While projective measurements introduce temporal…
This paper analyzes the robustness of recent 3D shape descriptors to SO(3) rotations, something that is fundamental to shape modeling. Specifically, we formulate the task of rotated 3D object instance detection. To do so, we consider a…
The method of alternating projections involves orthogonally projecting an element of a Hilbert space onto a collection of closed subspaces. It is known that the resulting sequence always converges in norm if the projections are taken…
M. Brion proved a convexity result for the moment map image of an irreducible subvariety of a compact integral Kaehler manifold preserved by the complexification of the Hamiltonian group action. V. Guillemin and R. Sjamaar generalized this…
We study finite-rank left-translation invariant algebraic $D$-modules on complex affine algebraic groups. Using the standard description of these objects as left-invariant flat algebraic connections on the trivial vector bundle, modulo…
Many tight frames of interest are constructed via their Gramian matrix (which determines the frame up to unitary equivalence). Given such a Gramian, it can be determined whether or not the tight frame is projective group frame, i.e., is the…
Let $\varphi$ and $\varphi'$ be two homotopic actions of the topological group $G$ on the topological space $X$. To an object $A$ in the $G$-equivariant derived category $D_{\varphi}(X)$ of $X$ relative to the action $\varphi$ we associate…
We study an inverse problem that consists in estimating the first (zero-order) moment of some R2-valued distribution m supported within a closed interval S $\subset$ R, from partial knowledge of the solution to the Poisson-Laplace partial…
The notion of a continuous $G$-action on a topological space readily generalizes to that of a continuous $D$-action, where $D$ is any small category. Dror Farjoun and Zabrodsky introduced a generalized notion of orbit, which is key to…
One of basic difficulties of machine learning is handling unknown rotations of objects, for example in image recognition. A related problem is evaluation of similarity of shapes, for example of two chemical molecules, for which direct…
We establish the following two main results on order types of points in general position in the plane (realizable simple planar order types, realizable uniform acyclic oriented matroids of rank $3$): (a) The number of extreme points in an…
We study the problem of transformation inversion on general Lie groups: a datum is transformed by an unknown group element, and the goal is to recover an inverse transformation that maps it back to the original data distribution. Such…
The group E(3)=SO(3) *s T(3), that is the homogeneous subgroup of the Galilei group parameterized by rotation angles and velocities, defines the continuous group of transformations between the frames of inertial particles in Newtonian…
In this note, we state and give the main ideas of the proof of a real convexity theorem for group-valued momentum maps. This result is a quasi-Hamiltonian analogue of the O'Shea-Sjamaar theorem in the usual Hamiltonian setting. We prove…
We consider the problem of exact reconstruction of univariate functions with jump discontinuities at unknown positions from their moments. These functions are assumed to satisfy an a priori unknown linear homogeneous differential equation…
