Hidden symmetries of ReLU networks

J. Elisenda Grigsby, Kathryn Lindsey, David Rolnick

The parameter space for any fixed architecture of feedforward ReLU neural networks serves as a proxy during training for the associated class of functions - but how faithful is thi…

On the deck groups of iterates of bicritical rational maps

Sarah Koch, Kathryn Lindsey, Thomas Sharland

Given a rational map on the Riemann sphere, we define to be the group of Möbius transformations satisfying $f \…

Bicritical rational maps with a common iterate

Sarah Koch, Kathryn Lindsey, Thomas Sharland

Let be a degree bicritical rational map with critical point set and critical value set . Using the group of deck transfo…

Functional dimension of feedforward ReLU neural networks

J. Elisenda Grigsby, Kathryn Lindsey, Robert Meyerhoff +1

It is well-known that the parameterized family of functions representable by fully-connected feedforward neural networks with ReLU activation function is precisely the class of pie…

Local and global topological complexity measures OF ReLU neural network functions

J. Elisenda Grigsby, Kathryn Lindsey, Marissa Masden

We apply a generalized piecewise-linear (PL) version of Morse theory due to Grunert-Kuhnel-Rote to define and study new local and global notions of topological complexity for fully…

Existence of maximum likelihood estimates in exponential random graph models

Henry Bayly, Aditya Khanna, Kathryn Lindsey

We present a streamlined proof of the foundational result in the theory of exponential random graph models (ERGMs) that the maximum likelihood estimate exists if and only if the ta…

Master Teapots and Entropy Algorithms for the Mandelbrot Set

Kathryn Lindsey, Giulio Tiozzo, Chenxi Wu

We construct an analogue of W. Thurston's "Master teapot" for each principal vein in the Mandelbrot set, and generalize geometric properties known for the corresponding object for…

On transversality of bent hyperplane arrangements and the topological expressiveness of ReLU neural networks

J. Elisenda Grigsby, Kathryn Lindsey

Let F:R^n -> R be a feedforward ReLU neural network. It is well-known that for any choice of parameters, F is continuous and piecewise (affine) linear. We lay some foundations for…

A characterization of Thurston's Master Teapot

Kathryn Lindsey, Chenxi Wu

We prove an explicit characterization of the points in Thurston's Master Teapot. This description can be implemented algorithmically to test whether a point in $\mathbb{C} \times \…

Degree-d-invariant laminations

William P. Thurston, Hyungryul Baik, Yan Gao +4

Degree--invariant laminations of the disk model the dynamical action of a degree- polynomial; such a lamination defines an equivalence relation on that corresponds to d…

The Shape of Thurston's Master Teapot

Harrison Bray, Diana Davis, Kathryn Lindsey +1

We establish basic geometric and topological properties of Thurston's Master Teapot and the Thurston set for superattracting unimodal self-maps of intervals. In particular, the Mas…

A Game of Life on Penrose tilings

Duane A. Bailey, Kathryn A. Lindsey

We define rules for cellular automata played on quasiperiodic tilings of the plane arising from the multigrid method in such a way that these cellular automata are isomorphic to Co…

Fekete polynomials and shapes of Julia sets

Kathryn A. Lindsey, Malik Younsi

We prove that a nonempty, proper subset of the complex plane can be approximated in a strong sense by polynomial filled Julia sets if and only if is bounded and $\hat{\math…

Shapes of polynomial Julia sets, revisited

Kathryn A. Lindsey

Any finite union of disjoint, mutually exterior Jordan curves in the complex plane can be approximated arbitrarily well in the Hausdorff topology by polynomial Julia sets. Furtherm…

Convex shapes and harmonic caps

Laura DeMarco, Kathryn Lindsey

Any planar shape can be embedded isometrically as part of the boundary surface of a convex subset of such that supports the po…

Horocycle flow orbits and lattice surface characterizations

Jon Chaika, Kathryn Lindsey

The orbit closure of any translation surface under the horocycle flow in almost any direction equals its orbit closure. This result gives rise to new characteriz…

Flat surface models of ergodic systems

Kathryn Lindsey, Rodrigo Treviño

We propose a general framework for constructing and describing infinite type flat surfaces of finite area. Using this method, we characterize the range of dynamical behaviors possi…

Counting invariant components of hyperelliptic translation surfaces

Kathryn Lindsey

The flow in a fixed direction on a translation surface S determines a decomposition of S into closed invariant sets, each of which is either periodic or minimal. We study this deco…

Shapes of Polynomial Julia Sets

Kathryn A. Lindsey

Any Jordan curve in the complex plane can be approximated arbitrarily well in the Hausdorff topology by Julia sets of polynomials. Finite collections of disjoint Jordan domains can…

On ergodic transformations that are both weakly mixing and uniformly rigid

Jennifer James, Thomas Koberda, Kathryn Lindsey +2

We examine some of the properties of uniformly rigid transformations, and analyze the compatibility of uniform rigidity and (measurable) weak mixing along with some of their asympt…

Measurable Sensitivity

Jennifer James, Thomas Koberda, Kathryn Lindsey +2

We introduce the notion of measurable sensitivity, a measure-theoretic version of the condition of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. It is a consequence of light mixing,…
