Metric Geometry of the Signature Group for -Variation Rough Paths

Felix Medwed, Sylvie Paycha, Alexander Schmeding

The signatures of -rough paths form a subgroup of sufficiently high-level truncated tensor algebras, whose inverse limit is a subgroup of the full tensor algebra. For …

Flows and Homotopies of Banach Lie algebroids

Fernand Pelletier, Alexander Schmeding

We establish flow and homotopy tools for Banach Lie algebroids that do not rely on compactly supported extensions. Under suitable hypotheses, we construct parameter-dependent local…

Optimization on Weak Riemannian Manifolds

Valentina Zalbertus, Max Pfeffer, Alexander Schmeding

Riemannian structures on infinite-dimensional manifolds arise naturally in shape analysis and shape optimization. These applications lead to optimization problems on manifolds whic…

Group Contractions via Infinite-Dimensional Lie Theory

David Prinz, Alexander Schmeding, Philip K. Schwartz

Contractions are a procedure to construct a new Lie algebra out of a given one via a singular limit. Specifically, the İnönü--Wigner construction starts with a Lie algebra $\mathfr…

Cotangent Bundles as Coadjoint Orbits and Asymptotic Character Formulas

Michael Gjertsen, Alexander Schmeding

We present geometric quantization on cotangent bundles as a special instance of Kirillov's orbit method. To this end, the cotangent bundle is realized as a coadjoint orbit of an in…

The Stacey-Roberts Lemma for Banach Manifolds

Peter Kristel, Alexander Schmeding

The Stacey-Roberts lemma states that a surjective submersion between finite-dimensional manifolds gives rise to a submersion on infinite-dimensional manifolds of smooth mappings by…

On the singularities of the exponential function of a semidirect product

Alexandru Chirvasitu, Rafael Dahmen, Karl-Hermann Neeb +1

We show that the Fréchet--Lie groups of the form resulting from smooth flows on compact manifolds fail to be locally exponential in several ca…

Manifolds of continuous BV-functions and vector measure regularity of Banach-Lie groups

Helge Glockner, Alexander Schmeding, Ali Suri

We construct a smooth Banach manifold BV whose elements are suitably-defined functions of bounded variation with values in a smooth Banach manif…

Boundary values of diffeomorphisms of simple polytopes, and controllability

Helge Glöckner, Erlend Grong, Alexander Schmeding

We consider the Lie group of smooth diffeomorphisms Diff of a simple polytope in the euclidean space. Simple polytopes are special cases of manifolds with corners. The geo…

Controllability and diffeomorphism groups on manifolds with boundary

Erlend Grong, Alexander Schmeding

In this article we consider diffeomorphism groups of manifolds with smooth boundary. We show that the diffeomorphism groups of the manifold and its boundary fit into a short exact…

The Ebin-Marsden toolbox for stochastic PDEs: stochastic Euler equations

Zdzisław Brzeźniak, Mario Maurelli, Alexander Schmeding

The Ebin-Marsden theory is a powerful geometric framework for many PDEs from fluid dynamics. In this paper we provide a toolbox to apply the Ebin-Marsden approach to stochastic PDE…

Decompositions of Nonlinear Input-Output Systems to Zero the Output

W. Steven Gray, Kurusch Ebrahimi-Fard, Alexander Schmeding

Consider an input-output system where the output is the tracking error given some desired reference signal. It is natural to consider under what conditions the problem has an exact…

On the unit component of the Newman-Unti group

Alexander Schmeding

In this short note we identify the unit component of the Newman--Unti (NU) group in the fine very strong topology. In previous work, this component has been endowed with an infinit…

Deep neural networks on diffeomorphism groups for optimal shape reparameterization

Elena Celledoni, Helge Glöckner, Jørgen Riseth +1

One of the fundamental problems in shape analysis is to align curves or surfaces before computing geodesic distances between their shapes. Finding the optimal reparametrization rea…

A topological splitting of the space of meromorphic germs in several variables and continuous evaluators

Rafael Dahmen, Sylvie Paycha, Alexander Schmeding

We prove a topological decomposition of the space of meromorphic germs at zero in several variables with prescribed linear poles as a sum of spaces of holomorphic and polar germs.…

The geometry of controlled rough paths

Mazyar Ghani Varzaneh, Sebastian Riedel, Alexander Schmeding +1

We prove that the spaces of controlled (branched) rough paths of arbitrary order form a continuous field of Banach spaces. This structure has many similarities to an (infinite-dime…

An introduction to infinite-dimensional differential geometry

Alexander Schmeding

The present document is the draft of a book which presents an introduction to infinite-dimensional differential geometry beyond Banach manifolds. As is well known the usual calculu…

Lie Theory for Asymptotic Symmetries in General Relativity: The NU Group

David Prinz, Alexander Schmeding

We study the Newman--Unti (NU) group from the viewpoint of infinite-dimensional geometry. The NU group is a topological group in a natural coarse topology, but it does not become a…

Continuity of Formal Power Series Products in Nonlinear Control Theory

W. Steven Gray, Mathias Palmstrøm, Alexander Schmeding

Formal power series products appear in nonlinear control theory when systems modeled by Chen-Fliess series are interconnected to form new systems. In fields like adaptive control a…
