HYPERBOLA METHOD ON TORIC VARIETIES

We develop a very general version of the hyperbola method which extends the known method by Blomer and Brudern for products of projective spaces to complete smooth split toric varieties. We use it to count Campana points of bounded log-anticanonical height ...

Incorporating Projective Geometry into Deep Learning

Michal Jan Tyszkiewicz

In this thesis we explore the applications of projective geometry, a mathematical theory of the relation between 3D scenes and their 2D images, in modern learning-based computer vision systems. This is an interesting research question which contradicts the ...

A smooth compactification of the space of genus two curves in projective space: via logarithmic geometry and Gorenstein curves

Francesca Carocci

We construct a modular desingularisation of (M) over bar (2,n)(P-r, d)(main). The geometry of Gorenstein singularities of genus two leads us to consider maps from prestable admissible covers; with this enhanced logarithmic structure, it is possible to desi ...

The cohomology of semi-simple Lie groups, viewed from infinity

Nicolas Monod

We prove that the real cohomology of semi-simple Lie groups admits boundary values, which are measurable cocycles on the Furstenberg boundary. This generalises known invariants such as the Maslov index on Shilov boundaries, the Euler class on projective sp ...

A geographical study of (M)over-bar(2)(P-2, 4)(main)

Francesca Carocci

We discuss criteria for a stable map of genus two and degree 4 to the projective plane to be smoothable, as an application of our modular desingularisation of (M) over bar (2,n)(P-r, d)(main) via logarithmic geometry and Gorenstein singularities. ...

Dual Approach for Two-Stage Robust Nonlinear Optimization

Jianzhe Zhen

Adjustable robust minimization problems where the objective or constraints depend in a convex way on the adjustable variables are generally difficult to solve. In this paper, we reformulate the original adjustable robust nonlinear problem with a polyhedral ...

Preserving Self-Duality During Logic Synthesis for Emerging Reconfigurable Nanotechnologies

Giovanni De Micheli, Heinz Riener, Shubham Rai, Akash Kumar

Emerging reconfigurable nanotechnologies allow the implementation of self-dual functions with a fewer number of transistors as compared to traditional CMOS technologies. To achieve better area results for Reconfigurable Field-Effect Transistors (RFET)-base ...

Graph-based image representation learning

Renata Khasanova

Though deep learning (DL) algorithms are very powerful for image processing tasks, they generally require a lot of data to reach their full potential. Furthermore, there is no straightforward way to impose various properties, given by the prior knowledge a ...

Material Parameter Extraction for Complex AlScN Thin Film Using Dual Mode Resonators in Combination with Advanced Microstructural Analysis and Finite Element Modeling

Paul Muralt, Thomas La Grange, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Mohammad Fazel Parsapour Kolour, Vladimir Pashchenko, Kaoru Yamashita

Accurate property determination of the piezoelectric thin film material Al(1-x)Sc(x)N is necessary for designing the next generation of radio frequency resonators in mobile communication, and for testing results of ab initio calculations. Sound velocity an ...

For Their Own Good and For the Good of Others: Identity Duality in New Venture Evaluation and Investor Decision-Making

Nettra Danette Pan

Organizing is a managerial process which demands a sense of purpose. When stories about "who we are" and "what we do" are salient and coherent (Voss, Cable & Voss, 2006), organizations can better plan, explain and justify collective action (Whetten & Macke ...

Extension complexity of stable set polytopes of bipartite graphs

Yuri Faenza, Manuel Francesco Aprile

The extension complexity xc(P) of a polytope P is the minimum number of facets of a polytope that affinely projects to P. Let G be a bipartite graph with n vertices, m edges, and no isolated vertices. Let STAB(G) be the convex hull of the stable sets of G. ...

Discrete variational Lie group formulation of geometrically exact beams dynamics

Yves Weinand, Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz, François Marie Alain Demoures

The goal of this paper is to derive a structure preserving integrator for geometrically exact beam dynamics, by using a Lie group variational integrator. Both spatial and temporal discretization are implemented in a geometry preserving manner. The resultin ...

Higman ideal, stable Hochschild homology and Auslander-Reiten conjecture

Yuming Liu

Let A and B be two finite dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field, related to each other by a stable equivalence of Morita type. We prove that A and B have the same number of isomorphism classes of simple modules if and only if their 0-degr ...

The norm of the Euler class

Nicolas Monod

We prove that the norm of the Euler class

The Holder-Poincaré duality for Lqp-cohomology

Marc Troyanov

We prove the following version of Poincaré, duality for reduced L (q,p) -cohomology: For any 1 < q, p < a, the Lqp -cohomology of a Riemannian manifold is in duality with the interior Lp'q'-cohomology for 1/p + 1/p' = 1/q + 1/q' = 1. ...

Modélisation géométrique itérative sous contraintes

Gilles Gouaty

Iterative models are widely used today in CAD. They allow, with a limited number of parameters, to represent relatively complex forms through a subdivision algorithm. There is a wide variety of such models (Catmull-Clark, Doo-Sabin, L-Systems...). Most ite ...

Efficient and side-channel-aware implementations of elliptic curve cryptosystems over prime fields

Yusuf Leblebici

Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECCs) are utilised as an alternative to traditional public-key cryptosystems, and are more suitable for resource-limited environments because of smaller parameter size. In this study, the authors carry out a thorough investiga ...

In-Plane Polarities of Nonpolar Wurtzite Epitaxial Films Deposited on m- and r-plane Sapphire Substrates

Nicolas Grandjean, Denis Martin, Tiankai Zhu

The in-plane polarities of GaN and ZnO non-polar films deposited on r- and m-sapphire are compared. The polarity is unique on r-sapphire and mixed on m-sapphire because the direction on the substrate surface parallel to the wurztite c-direction is polar in ...

Shape from Texture for Omnidirectional Images

Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato, Laurent Jacques, Eugenio De Vito

In this paper, we describe a method to infer 3-D scene information using a single view captured by an omnidirectional camera. The proposed technique is inscribed in the so called ``Shape from Texture'' problem : if the textures hold by 3-D surfaces respect ...

Representation of Radon Shape Diffusions via Hyperspherical Brownian Motion

Victor Panaretos

A framework is introduced for the study of general Radon shape diffusions, that is, shape diffusions induced by projections of randomly rotating shapes. This is done via a convenient representation of unoriented Radon shape diffusions in (unoriented) D.G. ...
