Short homology bases for hyperelliptic hyperbolic surfaces

Given a hyperelliptic hyperbolic surface S of genus g >= 2, we find bounds on the lengths of homologically independent loops on S. As a consequence, we show that for any lambda is an element of (0, 1) there exists a constant N(lambda) such that every such ...

Arithmetic and geometric deformations of threefolds

Fabio Bernasconi, Stefano Filipazzi

We show that mixed-characteristic and equicharacteristic small deformations of 3-dimensional canonical (resp., terminal) singularities with perfect residue field of characteristic p>5 are canonical (resp., terminal). We discuss applications to arithmetic a ...

Vanishing theorems in positive characteristic

Emelie Kerstin Arvidsson

The topic of this thesis is vanishing theorems in positive characteristic. In particular, we use "the covering trick of Ekedahl" to investigate the vanishing of

Logic Resynthesis of Majority-Based Circuits by Top-Down Decomposition

Giovanni De Micheli, Heinz Riener, Siang-Yun Lee

Logic resynthesis is the problem of finding a dependency function to re-express a given Boolean function in terms of a given set of divisor functions. In this paper, we study logic resynthesis of majority-based circuits, which is motivated by the increasin ...

Positivity of the CM line bundle for families of K-stable klt Fano varieties

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Giulio Codogni

The Chow-Mumford (CM) line bundle is a functorial line bundle on the base of any family of klt Fano varieties. It is conjectured that it yields a polarization on the moduli space of K-poly-stable klt Fano varieties. Proving ampleness of the CM line bundle ...

Convex Combination of Diffusion Strategies Over Networks

Ali H. Sayed, Jie Chen

Combining diffusion strategies with complementary properties enables enhanced performance when they can be run simultaneously. In this article, we first propose two schemes for the convex combination of two diffusion strategies, namely, the power-normalize ...

Compute-Forward for DMCs: Simultaneous Decoding of Multiple Combinations

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Adriano Pastore, Sung Hoon Lim, Chen Feng

Algebraic network information theory is an emerging facet of network information theory, studying the achievable rates of random code ensembles that have algebraic structure, such as random linear codes. A distinguishing feature is that linear combinations ...

Dictionary Learning for Two-Dimensional Kendall Shapes

Michaël Unser, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Anna You-Lai Song

We propose a novel sparse dictionary learning method for planar shapes in the sense of Kendall, namely configurations of landmarks in the plane considered up to similitudes. Our shape dictionary method provides a good trade-off between algorithmic simplici ...

Birational characterization of abelian varieties and ordinary abelian varieties in characteristic p>0

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Lei Zhang

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We give a birational characterization of ordinary abelian varieties over k: a smooth projective variety X is birational to an ordinary abelian variety if and only if kappa(S)(X) = 0 and b(1)(X ...

THE LMMP FOR LOG CANONICAL 3-FOLDS IN CHARACTERISTIC p > 5

Joseph Allen Waldron

We prove that one can run the log minimal model program for log canonical 3-fold pairs in characteristic p > 5. In particular, we prove the cone theorem, contraction theorem, the existence of flips and the existence of log minimal models for pairs with log ...

The Shifted Convolution of Generalized Divisor Functions

Berke Topacogullari

We prove an asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution of the divisor functions d(k)(n) and d(n) with k >= 4, which is uniform in the shift parameter and which has a power saving error term, improving results obtained previously by Fouvry and Tenenbaum ...

Algebraic and topological methods in combinatorics

Adrian Claudiu Valculescu

The present thesis deals with problems arising from discrete mathematics, whose proofs make use of tools from algebraic geometry and topology. The thesis is based on four papers that I have co-authored, three of which have been published in journals, and o ...

Scalable Low-rank Matrix and Tensor Decomposition on Graphs

Nauman Shahid

In many signal processing, machine learning and computer vision applications, one often has to deal with high dimensional and big datasets such as images, videos, web content, etc. The data can come in various forms, such as univariate or multivariate time ...

Towards an algebraic network information theory: Simultaneous joint typicality decoding

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Adriano Pastore, Sung Hoon Lim, Chen Feng

Recent work has employed joint typicality encoding and decoding of nested linear code ensembles to generalize the compute-forward strategy to discrete memoryless multiple-access channels (MACs). An appealing feature of these nested linear code ensembles is ...

Enumeration of reversible functions and its application to circuit complexity

Giovanni De Micheli, Nabila Abdessaied, Mathias Soeken

We review combinational results to enumerate and classify reversible functions and investigate the application to circuit complexity. In particularly, we consider the effect of negating and permuting input and output variables and the effect of applying li ...

Graph Embedded Nonparametric Mutual Information For Supervised Dimensionality Reduction

Nikolaos Arvanitopoulos Darginis

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for dimensionality reduction that uses as a criterion the mutual information (MI) between the transformed data and their cor- responding class labels. The MI is a powerful criterion that can be used as a proxy to ...

Phase estimation from noisy phase fringe patterns using linearly independent basis functions

Pramod Rastogi, Rishikesh Dilip Kulkarni

A novel technique is proposed for obtaining unwrapped phase estimation from a highly noisy exponential phase field. In this technique, the interference phase is represented as a linear combination of linearly independent and pre-defined basis functions alo ...

Signal structure: from manifolds to molecules and structured sparsity

Gaussian distribution for the divisor function and Hecke eigenvalues in arithmetic progressions

Philippe Michel

We show that, in a restricted range, the divisor function of integers in residue classes modulo a prime follows a Gaussian distribution, and a similar result for Hecke eigenvalues of classical holomorphic cusp forms. Furthermore, we obtain the joint distri ...

Functional Connectivity Eigennetworks Reveal Different Brain Dynamics In Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Jonas Richiardi, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Nora Leonardi

Resting state functional connectivity is defined as correlations in brain activity measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging without any stimulation paradigm. Such connectivity is dynamic, even over the course of minutes, and the development of too ...
