The ABCD of topological recursion

Kontsevich and Soibelman reformulated and slightly generalised the topological recursion of [43], seeing it as a quantisation of certain quadratic Lagrangians in T*V for some vector space V. KS topological recursion is a procedure which takes as initial da ...

Geometric Learning: Leveraging differential geometry for learning and control

Bernardo Fichera

In this thesis, we concentrate on advancing high-level behavioral control policies for robotic systems within the framework of Dynamical Systems (DS). Throughout the course of this research, a unifying thread weaving through diverse fields emerges, and tha ...

Unlabeled Principal Component Analysis and Matrix Completion

Yunzhen Yao, Liangzu Peng

We introduce robust principal component analysis from a data matrix in which the entries of its columns have been corrupted by permutations, termed Unlabeled Principal Component Analysis (UPCA). Using algebraic geometry, we establish that UPCA is a well-de ...

Holography and localization of information in quantum gravity

Kyriakos Papadodimas, Alexandre Mathieu Frédéric Belin

Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, we identify a class of CFT operators which represent diff-invariant and approximately local observables in the gravitational dual. Provided that the bulk state breaks all asymptotic symmetries, we show that these operator ...

High order geometric methods with splines: fast solution with explicit time-stepping for Maxwell equations

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Bernard Kapidani

We introduce a high-order spline geometric approach for the initial boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations. The method is geometric in the sense that it discretizes in structure preserving fashion the two de Rham sequences of differential forms inv ...

Lattice packings through division algebras

Nihar Prakash Gargava

In this text, we will show the existence of lattice packings in a family of dimensions by employing division algebras. This construction is a generalization of Venkatesh's lattice packing result Venkatesh (Int Math Res Notices 2013(7): 1628-1642, 2013). In ...

Positive Definite Completions and Continuous Graphical Models

Kartik Waghmare

This thesis concerns the theory of positive-definite completions and its mutually beneficial connections to the statistics of function-valued or continuously-indexed random processes, better known as functional data analysis. In particular, it dwells upon ...

An optimal preconditioned FFT-accelerated finite element solver for homogenization

Till Junge, Ali Falsafi, Martin Ladecký

We generalize and provide a linear algebra-based perspective on a finite element (FE) ho-mogenization scheme, pioneered by Schneider et al. (2017)[1] and Leuschner and Fritzen (2018)[2]. The efficiency of the scheme is based on a preconditioned, well-scale ...

A Hopf algebra model for Dwyer's tame spaces

Haoqing Wu

In this thesis, we give a modern treatment of Dwyer's tame homotopy theory using the language of

\infty

-categories. We introduce the notion of tame spectra and show it has a concrete algebraic description. We then carry out a study of

Existence of dynamical low rank approximations for random semi-linear evolutionary equations on the maximal interval

Fabio Nobile, Yoshihito Kazashi

An existence result is presented for the dynamical low rank (DLR) approximation for random semi-linear evolutionary equations. The DLR solution approximates the true solution at each time instant by a linear combination of products of deterministic and sto ...

On the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to parabolic variational inequalities

Maria Colombo

We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Lojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in the fact that, ...

CHIMERA: Combining Ring-LWE-based Fully Homomorphic Encryption Schemes

Dimitar Petkov Jetchev

This paper proposes a practical hybrid solution for combining and switching between three popular Ring-LWE-based FHE schemes: TFHE, B/FV and HEAAN. This is achieved by first mapping the different plaintext spaces to a common algebraic structure and then by ...

Machine-Learning of Atomic-Scale Properties Based on Physical Principles

Michele Ceriotti, Michael John Willatt

We briefly summarize the kernel regression approach, as used recently in materials modelling, to fitting functions, particularly potential energy surfaces, and highlight how the linear algebra framework can be used to both predict and train from linear fun ...

Finally, a Polymorphic Linear Algebra Language

Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Many different data analytics tasks boil down to linear algebra primitives. In practice, for each different type of workload, data scientists use a particular specialised library. In this paper, we present Pilatus, a polymorphic iterative linear algebra la ...

Primary invariants of Hurwitz Frobenius manifolds

Nicolas Gerson Orantin

Hurwitz spaces parameterizing covers of the Riemann sphere can be equipped with a Frobenius structure. In this review, we recall the construction of such Hurwitz Frobenius manifolds as well as the correspondence between semisimple Frobenius manifolds and t ...

Computing Crowd Consensus with Partial Agreement (Extended Abstract)

Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên

Crowdsourcing has been widely established as a means to enable human computation at large-scale, in particular for tasks that require manual labelling of large sets of data items. Answers obtained from heterogeneous crowd workers are aggregated to obtain a ...

Slack Selection for Unintentional Islanding: Practical Validation in a Benchmark Microgrid

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Wajeb Saab, Andreas Martin Kettner, Roman Rudnik

Upon an intentional or emergency disconnection from the main grid, a microgrid is expected to continue working in islanded mode. Thus, (at least) one resource needs to act as slack and compensate for power variations to keep the power balance, and ensure t ...

Polarization and Channel Ordering: Characterizations and Topological Structures

Rajai Nasser

Information theory is the field in which we study the fundamental limitations of communication. Shannon proved in 1948 that there exists a maximum rate, called capacity, at which we can reliably communicate information through a given channel. However, Sha ...

Notes on Majority Boolean Algebra

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Anupam Chattopadhyay

A Majority-Inverter Graph (MIG) is a homogeneous logic network, where each node represents the majority function. Recently, a logic optimization package based on the MIG data-structure, with 3-input majority node (M3) has been proposed [2], [30]. It is dem ...

Data Reconciliation in Open Reaction Systems using the Concept of Extents

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Kinetic models of chemical reaction systems are typically represented in terms of state variables, such as concentrations, temperature and partial pressures [1]. These state variables in turn depend on the underlying reactions, transfer phenomena, and tran ...
