On a Riemannian manifold with a positive lower bound on the Ricci tensor, the distance of isoperimetric sets from geodesic balls is quantitatively controlled in terms of the gap between the isoperimetric profile of the manifold and that of…

Let $\gamma$ be a Riemannian metric on $\Sigma = S^1 \times T^{n-2}$, where $3 \leq n \leq 7$. Consider $\Omega = B^2 \times T^{n-2}$ with boundary $\partial \Omega = \Sigma$, and let $g$ be a Riemannian metric on $\Omega$ such that the…

We show that any generalised smooth distribution on a smooth manifold, possibly of non-constant rank, admits a Riemannian metric. Using such a metric, we attach a Laplace operator to any smooth distribution as such. When the underlying…

Given a random sample from a density function supported on a manifold $M$, a new method for the estimating highest density regions of the underlying population is introduced. The new proposal is based on the empirical version of the opening…

Let $(M,g_0)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 25$ with positive Yamabe invariant $Y(M,g_0)>0$ and positive fourth-order invariant $Y_4(M,g_0)>0$. We show that, arbitrarily $C^1$-close to $g_0$, there exists a Riemannian…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis we demonstrate the existence of smooth numbers in certain short intervals.

Modern machine learning increasingly leverages the insight that high-dimensional data often lie near low-dimensional, non-linear manifolds, an idea known as the manifold hypothesis. By explicitly modeling the geometric structure of data…

In this paper we discuss the smoothness conditions for metrics on a cohomogeneity one manifold, i.e. metrics invariant under a Lie group whose generic orbits are hypersurfaces. Along these hypersurfaces one describes the metrics in terms of…

Probabilistic smoothing is a standard tool for global optimization, but existing methods rely on Gaussian kernels and specific transforms, often resulting in strong hyperparameter sensitivity and limited robustness. We propose a general…
