A rank one local system on the complement of a hyperplane arrangement is said to be admissible if it satisfies certain non-positivity condition at every resonant edges. It is known that the cohomology of admissible local system can be…

In structured system theory, a pattern matrix is a matrix with entries either fixed to zero or free to take arbitrary numbers. The (generic) rank of a pattern matrix is the rank of almost all its realizations. The resilience of various…

In the search for a logic capturing polynomial time the most promising candidates are Choiceless Polynomial Time (CPT) and rank logic. Rank logic extends fixed-point logic with counting by a rank operator over prime fields. We show that the…

Let A be a unital simple separable C*-algebra with strict comparison of positive elements. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of A is recovered functorially from the Murray-von Neumann semigroup and the tracial state space T(A) whenever the…

Random instances of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP's) appear to be hard for all known algorithms, when the number of constraints per variable lies in a certain interval. Contributing to the general understanding of the structure of…

Object ranking is an important problem in the realm of preference learning. On the basis of training data in the form of a set of rankings of objects, which are typically represented as feature vectors, the goal is to learn a ranking…

Learning to Rank (LTR) algorithms are usually evaluated using Information Retrieval metrics like Normalised Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) or Mean Average Precision. As these metrics rely on sorting predicted items' scores (and thus, on…

Low rank recovery problems have been a subject of intense study in recent years. While the rank function is useful for regularization it is difficult to optimize due to its non-convexity and discontinuity. The standard remedy for this is to…

We study the satisfiability of ordering constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) above average. We prove the conjecture of Gutin, van Iersel, Mnich, and Yeo that the satisfiability above average of ordering CSPs of arity $k$ is…

The problem of relevance ranking consists of sorting a set of objects with respect to a given criterion. Since users may prefer different relevance criteria, the ranking algorithms should be adaptable to the user needs. Two main approaches…

The goal of this paper is to analyze an intriguing phenomenon recently discovered in deep networks, namely their instability to adversarial perturbations (Szegedy et. al., 2014). We provide a theoretical framework for analyzing the…

A rank estimator in robust regression is a minimizer of a function which depends (in addition to other factors) on the ordering of residuals but not on their values. Here we focus on the optimization aspects of rank estimators. We…

In sorting literature, comparative statics for multidimensional assignment models with general output functions and input distributions is an important open question. We provide a complete theory of comparative statics for technological…

In this first of a series of three papers we outline an approach to classifying 4d $\mathcal{N}{=}2$ superconformal field theories at rank 2. The classification of allowed scale invariant $\mathcal{N}=2$ Coulomb branch geometries of…

The notion of `stable rank' of a matrix is central to the analysis of randomized matrix algorithms, covariance estimation, deep neural networks, and recommender systems. We compare the properties of the stable rank and intrinsic dimension…

Many selection problems are multilayered: agents first decide whether to participate and then sort among ordered or unordered categories. This paper shows that the sorting layer changes the geometry of identification. Unlike binary…

Patience Sorting is a combinatorial algorithm that can be viewed as an iterated, non-recursive form of the Schensted Insertion Algorithm. In recent work the authors have shown that Patience Sorting provides an algorithmic description for…

Any nonpositively curved symmetric space admits a topological compactification, namely the Hadamard compactification. For rank one spaces, this topological compactification can be endowed with a differentiable structure such that the action…

We discuss the (first- and second-order) optimality conditions for nonlinear programming under the relaxed constant rank constraint qualification. This condition generalizes the so-called linear independence constraint qualification.…

It is shown that the new formula for the field theory Poisson brackets arise naturally in the extension of the formal variational calculus incorporating divergences. The linear spaces of local functionals, evolutionary vector fields,…
