Bounded and unbounded cohomology of homeomorphism and diffeomorphism groups

We determine the bounded cohomology of the group of homeomorphisms of certain low-dimensional manifolds. In particular, for the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle and of the closed 2-disc, it is isomorphic to the polynomial ring g ...

Examples of normal, not geometrically normal, projective Gorenstein del Pezzo surfaces with at most Du Val singularities

Ursina Schweizer

While over fields of characteristic at least 5, a normal, projective and Gorenstein del Pezzo surface is geometrically normal, this does not hold for characteristic 2 and 3. There is no characterization of all such non-geometrically normal surfaces, but th ...

Coherent actions by homeomorphisms on the real line or an interval

Yash Lodha

We study actions of groups by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on R (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at +/-infinity and contain a pair of elements of a certain dynamical type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such ...

Approximating nonabelian free groups by groups of homeomorphisms of the real line

Yash Lodha

We show that for a large class C of finitely generated groups of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the real line, the following holds: Given a group G of rank k in C, there is a sequence of k-markings (G,S-n), n is an element of N whose limit in the ...

Method, system, and device for learned invariant feature transform for computer images

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Kwang Moo Yi, Eduard Trulls Fortuny

A method for training a feature detector of an image processing device, including the steps of detecting features in the image to generate a score map, computing a center of mass on the score map to generate a location, extracting a patch from the image at ...

Smooth Shapes with Spherical Topology: Beyond Traditional Modeling, Efficient Deformation, and Interaction

Michaël Unser, Pablo Garcia-Amorena Garcia, Daniel Andreas Schmitter

Existing shape models with spherical topology are typically designed either in the discrete domain using interpolating polygon meshes or in the continuous domain using smooth but non-interpolating schemes such as subdivision or NURBS. Both polygon models a ...

Smoothly Deformable Spheres: Modeling, Deformation, and Interaction

Michaël Unser, Pablo Garcia-Amorena Garcia, Daniel Andreas Schmitter

Existing shape models with spherical topology are typically designed either in the discrete domain using interpolating polygon meshes or in the continuous domain using smooth but non-interpolating schemes such as NURBS. Polygon models and subdivision metho ...

An indiscrete Bieberbach theorem: from amenable CAT$(0)$ groups to Tits buildings

Nicolas Monod

Non-positively curved spaces admitting a cocompact isometric action of an amenable group are investigated. A classification is established under the assumption that there is no global fixed point at infinity under the full isometry group. The visual bounda ...

Closing Large Hyperbolic 2g-gons : a Way to Study Hyperelliptic Riemann Surfaces of Genus g

Poincaré's uniformisation theorem says that any Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to a unique (up to isometry) surface of constant Gauss curvature 0, 1 or –1. The (topologically) richest of these three worlds is for curvature –1 formed of hyperboli ...

Effect of deposition angle on the structure and properties of pulsed-DC magnetron sputtered TiAlN thin films

Marco Cantoni, Alireza Karimi, Akshath Raghu Shetty

This article reports the comparison of structure and properties of titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) films deposited onto Si(100) substrates under normal and oblique angle depositions using pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering. The substrate temperature was set ...
