A weak invariance principle for triangular arrays of independent random variables in some Besov spaces

Davide Giraudo, Sadillo Sharipov

We establish a Donsker-Prokhorov invariance principle in some Besov spaces. Specifically, we show that polygonal line processes associated with partial sum processes of a triangula…

Radon Measure Representations for Infinite-Width Neural Networks with Singular Activations

Mathias Dus

The theoretical foundation of infinite-width shallow neural networks relies heavily on continuous integral representations and Barron spaces. Recently, harmonic analysis-specifical…

On the construction of geographical maps: Lagrange, Chebyshev, Darboux and Milnor

Hideki Miyachi, Ken'Ichi Ohshika, Athanase Papadopoulos

Lagrange, Chebyshev, and Darboux, in 1779, 1856, and 1911, respectively, wrote articles all bearing the same title, \emph{On the Construction of Geographical Maps}. In 1969, Milnor…

Convergence-Symmetric Metric Spaces

Ismail Saglam, Ken'Ichi Ohshika, Athanase Papadopoulos +1

We study some basic properties of spaces which satisfy the usual axioms of a metric space but without the symmetry axiom. We realised that such a study is needed in view of the rel…

Generalizing Lusztig's total positivity II : geometric properties

Olivier Guichard, Anna Wienhard

Positive structures in Lie groups with respect to a subset of the set of positive roots provide a generalization of Lusztig's total positivity in split real Lie groups to the s…

Functional central limit theorems for -statistics of beta-mixing data

Davide Giraudo

We investigate the convergence of partial sum processes based on a strictly stationary -mixing sequence of random variables. The convergence in the space of continuous function…

Polytopes and posets associated to preorders

Frédéric Chapoton, Christos A. Athanasiadis

Preorder polytopes, defined from preorders on finite sets, are introduced and studied from a lattice point enumeration point of view. They naturally generalize arbor polytopes, rec…

The combinatorial structure of the unit tangent spheres and cotangent spheres of Teichm{ü}ller space with Thurston's Finsler metric

Ken'Ichi Ohshika, Athanase Papadopoulos

We prove several new results on the combinatorial structures of the unit spheres of the norms induced by Thurston's metric on the tangent and cotangent spaces of the Teichm{ü}ller…

Integrals of general geometric random variables on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces

Victor Le Guilloux

In this article we provide an integration formula enabling us to integrate random variables defined on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces which involve the lengths of closed g…

Chern classes of Laughlin bundles on the quasihole moduli space

Florent Dupont, Semyon Klevtsov

We study fractional quantum Hall states with quasihole excitations, on Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. For configurations with quasiholes we construct a vector bundle abov…

Spherical trigonometry before the modern era:The treatise of Nasir al-Din al-Tusi

Athanase Papadopoulos

This is an overview of Nasir al-Din al-Tusi's Treatise of the quadrilateral, an invaluable 13th century document on spherical geometry which was translated into French in 1891. The…

Wasserstein Formulation of Reinforcement Learning. An Optimal Transport Perspective on Policy Optimization

Mathias Dus

We present a geometric framework for Reinforcement Learning (RL) that views policies as maps into the Wasserstein space of action probabilities. First, we define a Riemannian struc…

Simulation Based Inference of a Simple Neural Network Structure

Pierre Charitat, Ségolen Geffray, Christophe Pouzat

Neurophysiologists are nowadays able to record from a large number of extracellular electrodes and to extract, from the raw data, the sequences of action potentials or spikes gener…

Probabilistic Weyl Law for Twisted Toeplitz Matrices with Rough Symbols

Lucas Noël

In this article, we study the convergence of the empirical spectral measure of twisted Toeplitz matrices subject to small random perturbations. We show that the empirical spectral…

Notes on angles and solid angles, in relation with Euler's memoir De mensura angulorum solidorum

Stelios Negrepontis, Athanase Papadopoulos

We provide some historical context to the study of solid angles carried out by Euler in his memoir \emph{De mensura angulorum solidorum} (On the measure of solid angles). We extend…

Johann Heinrich Lambert's memoir "Theorie der Parallellinien": A review with commentary

Athanase Papadopoulos, Guillaume Théret

We review the memoir \emph{heorie der Parallellinien} by Johann Heinrich Lambert, written in 1766. Lambert, a victim of the prejudices of his time, conceived this memoir as an atte…

Wide-Surface Furnace for In Situ X-Ray Diffraction of Combinatorial Samples using a High-Throughput Approach

Giulio Cordaro, Juande Sirvent, Cristian Mocuta +7

The combinatorial approach applied to functional oxides has enabled the production of material libraries that formally contain infinite compositions. A complete ternary diagram can…

Grassmannian Geometry and Global Convergence of Variable Projection for Neural Networks

Mathias Dus

Training deep neural networks and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) often leads to ill-conditioned and stiff optimization problems. A key structural feature of these models…

On the Lambert conformal conical projection and the general map of the Russian Empire

Hideki Miyachi, Ken'Ichi Ohshika, Athanase Papadopoulos +1

The problem of drawing geographical maps is the one of mapping a subset of the sphere, representing a country or some other region on the surface of the Earth, into the Euclidean p…
