Trace maps for Mackey algebras

Let G be a finite group and R be a commutative ring. The Mackey algebra μR(G) shares a lot of properties with the group algebra RG however, there are some differences. For example, the group algebra is a symmetric algebra and this is not always the case fo ...

Homogeneous Sobolev Metric of Order One on Diffeomorphism Groups on Real Line

Martin Bauer, Martins Bruveris

In this article we study Sobolev metrics of order one on diffeomorphism groups on the real line. We prove that the space equipped with the homogeneous Sobolev metric of order one is a flat space in the sense of Riemannian geometry, as it is isometric to an ...

Overview of the Geometries of Shape Spaces and Diffeomorphism Groups

Martin Bauer, Martins Bruveris

This article provides an overview of various notions of shape spaces, including the space of parametrized and unparametrized curves, the space of immersions, the diffeomorphism group and the space of Riemannian metrics. We discuss the Riemannian metrics th ...

L-2-Betti numbers and Plancherel measure

Alain Valette, Henrik Densing Petersen

We compute L-2-Betti numbers of postliminal, locally compact, unimodular groups in terms of ordinary dimensions of reduced cohomology with coefficients in irreducible unitary representations and the Plancherel measure. This allows us to compute the L-2-Bet ...

Integrable G-strands on semisimple Lie groups

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

The present paper derives systems of partial differential equations that admit a quadratic zero curvature representation for an arbitrary real semisimple Lie algebra. It also determines the general form of Hamilton's principles and Hamiltonians for these s ...

Principal Polynomial Analysis

Devis Tuia

This paper presents a new framework for manifold learning based on a sequence of principal polynomials that capture the possibly nonlinear nature of the data. The proposed Principal Polynomial Analysis (PPA) generalizes PCA by modeling the directions of ma ...

Constructing reparameterization invariant metrics on spaces of plane curves

Martin Bauer, Martins Bruveris

Metrics on shape spaces are used to describe deformations that take one shape to another, and to define a distance between shapes. We study a family of metrics on the space of curves, which includes several recently proposed metrics, for which the metrics ...

Geodesic distance for right invariant Sobolev metrics of fractional order on the diffeomorphism group. II

Martin Bauer, Martins Bruveris

The geodesic distance vanishes on the group of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry, for the right invariant weak Riemannian metric which is induced by the Sobolev metric of order on the Lie algebra of vector fie ...

Harmonic Maps on Smooth Metric Measure Spaces and on Riemannian Polyhedra

Zahra Sinaei

This thesis is a study of harmonic maps in two different settings. The first part is concerned with harmonic maps from smooth metric measure spaces to Riemannian manifolds. The second part is study of harmonic maps from Riemannian polyhedra to non-positive ...

Geodesic distance for right invariant Sobolev metrics of fractional order on the diffeomorphism group

Martin Bauer, Martins Bruveris

We study Sobolev-type metrics of fractional order s a parts per thousand yen 0 on the group Diff (c) (M) of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a manifold M. We show that for the important special case M = S (1), the geodesic distance on Diff (c) (S (1) ...
