The purpose of this thesis is to provide an intrinsic proof of a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for complete Riemannian manifolds with finitely many conical singularities and asymptotically conical ends. A geometric invariant is associated to the link of both ...
Simultaneous and proportional control of a prosthetic hand and wrist is still a controversial issue, although giant steps have lately been made in this direction. In this paper, we study the application of a novel machine learning method to the problem, wi ...
A polarized variety is K-stable if, for any test configuration, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant is positive. In this paper, inspired by classical geometric invariant theory, we describe the space of test configurations as a limit of a direct system of Tits ...
In this report we benchmark the plane-to-plane objective quality metric. This is, a metric that measures the angular similarity of tangent planes between two point cloud models and relies on normal vectors that are carried with associated pairs of points. ...
Euclidean distance matrices (EDMs) are a major tool for localization from distances, with applications ranging from protein structure determination to global positioning and manifold learning. They are, however, static objects which serve to localize point ...
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently announced the public-key cryptosystems (PKC) that have passed to the second round of the post-quantum standardization process. Most of these PKC come in two flavours: a weak IND-CPA vers ...
In this paper, we propose kinetic Euclidean distance matrices (KEDMs) a new algebraic tool for localization of moving points from spatio temporal distance measurements. KEDMs are inspired by the well-known Euclidean distance matrices (EDM) which model stat ...
In this note we prove an explicit formula for the lower semicontinuous envelope of some functionals defined on real polyhedral chains. More precisely, denoting by H:R→[0,∞) an even, subadditive, and lower semicontinuous function with H(0)=0, and by ΦH the ...
In the present paper, we revisit gravitational theories which are invariant under TDiffs-transverse (volume-preserving) diffeomorphisms and global scale transformations. It is known that these theories can be rewritten in an equivalent diffeomorphism-invar ...
The geodesic flows are studied on real forms of complex semi-simple Lie groups with respect to a left-invariant (pseudo-)Riemannian metric of rigid body type. The Williamson types of the isolated relative equilibria on generic adjoint orbits are determined ...
