A Scalable Machine Learning Pipeline for Building Footprint Detection in Historical Maps
Historical maps offer a valuable lens through which to study past landscapes and settlement patterns. While prior research has leveraged machine learning based techniques to extract building footprints from historical maps, such approaches have largely focused on urban areas and tend to be computationally intensive. This presents a challenge for research questions requiring analysis across extensive rural regions, such as verifying historical census data or locating abandoned settlements. In th…

Plabic Tangles and Cluster Promotion Maps
Inspired by the BCFW recurrence for tilings of the amplituhedron, we introduce the general framework of `plabic tangles' that utilizes plabic graphs to define rational maps between products of Grassmannians called `promotions'. The central conjecture of the paper is that promotion maps are quasi-cluster homomorphisms, which we prove for several classes of promotions. In order to define promotion maps, we utilize $m$-vector-relation configurations ($m$-VRCs) on plabic graphs. We relate $m$-VRCs …

Non-degenerate mixed maps and contact structures
We study the geometry and topology of real analytic maps $\mathbb{C}^n \to \mathbb{C}^k$, where $n > k$, regarded as mixed maps, defined below. Firstly, we give two natural families of mixed isolated complete intersection singularities, called mixed ICIS, which are interesting on their own. We consider the notion of (partial) non-degeneracy for mixed maps; we prove that these define mixed ICIS and that, under suitable conditions, admit a local Milnor fibration. Then, building on previous constr…

A $1000\times$ Faster LLM-enhanced Algorithm For Path Planning in Large-scale Grid Maps
Path planning in grid maps, arising from various applications, has garnered significant attention. Existing methods, such as A*, Dijkstra, and their variants, work well for small-scale maps but fail to address large-scale ones due to high search time and memory consumption. Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable performance in path planning but still suffer from spatial illusion and poor planning performance.

Topology of boundary special generic maps into Euclidean spaces
In this paper, we study global properties of boundary special generic maps. A boundary special generic map is defined as a submersion of a compact connected manifold with non-empty boundary into Euclidean spaces, in which all singular points of its restriction to the boundary are boundary definite fold points. In certain dimensions, we characterize the manifolds with boundary that admit such maps up to diffeomorphism.

Energy, equilibrium measure and entropy for toric surface maps
We consider the ergodic theory of plane rational maps that preserve the natural holomorphic volume form on the algebraic torus. Specifically we construct natural invariant probability measures for a large class of such maps by intersecting the equilibrium currents we constructed in our previous work [DR]. We show further that these measures are mixing and that each admits an underlying geometric product structure. The main result of [DDG3] then implies that the topological entropy of each map c…

Nonunique tangent maps at isolated singularities of minimizing $p$-harmonic maps
The analysis of ``tangent maps'' at singular points of energy minimizing maps plays an important role in our understanding of the fine structure of the singular set. This note presents the first example of a minimizing (not just stationary) $p$-harmonic map with nonunique tangent maps at an isolated singularity. We construct a $n$-dimensional manifold $N$ such that for every admissible tuple $p< m\le n+2$, there exists a map from $B_1^m$ into $N$ that minimizes the $p$-energy, has an isolated s…

Let $φ:\mathbb D \to \mathbb D$ be a parabolic self-map of the unit disc $\mathbb D$ having zero hyperbolic step. We study holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb D$ commuting with $φ$. In particular, we answer a question from Gentili and Vlacci (1994) by proving that $ψ\in\mathsf{Hol(\mathbb D,\mathbb D)}$ commutes with $φ$ if and only if the two self-maps have the same Denjoy-Wolff point and $ψ$ is a pseudo-iterate of $φ$ in the sense of Cowen. Moreover, we show that the centralizer of $φ$, …

Foreground cleaning is performed either in harmonic or pixel space after data cuts have excluded sky areas of strong contamination.

The Berger-Wang formula for order-preserving homogeneous maps on cones
We prove that the joint spectral radius and generalized spectral radius are equal for any bounded, equicontinuous family of order-preserving, homogeneous maps on a polyhedral cone. We also consider conditions which guarantee that the semigroup generated by a family of order-preserving, homogeneous maps is bounded when its generalized spectral radius $r(\mathcal{A}) = 1$. Finally, we extend the notions of joint and generalized spectral subradii to the setting of homogeneous maps on wedges.

The convolution product makes the space $L(\mathbb{C}_0[S],\mathcal{A})$ of linear maps from $\mathbb{C}_0[S]$ to $\mathcal{A}$ an associative algebra. We prove that the convolution al…

Semantic Subtyping for Maps in Erlang
In this paper we will construct a set-theoretic model of types featuring type variables, base types, set-theoretic types and map types. Syntax of map types spans all the map types available in Erlang. The model of types is used to define a semantic subtyping relation based on set containment. The novelty of this work is the definition of subtyping over parameteric map types.

On the number of components of folds of image simple fold maps
A smooth map between manifolds is said to be \emph{image simple} if its restriction to its singular point set is a topological embedding. We study the parity of the number of connected components of the singular point set for image simple fold maps from a closed manifold of dimension $\ge 2$ to a surface. It is known that this parity is a homotopy invariant when the source manifold is of even dimension and the target surface is orientable. In this paper we show that for an arbitrary image simpl…

Multi-shooting parameterization methods for invariant manifolds and heteroclinics of 2 DOF Hamiltonian Poincaré maps, with applications to celestial resonant dynamics
Studying 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) Hamiltonian dynamical systems often involves the computation of stable & unstable manifolds of periodic orbits, due to the homoclinic & heteroclinic connections they can generate. Such study is generally facilitated by the use of a Poincaré section, on which the manifolds form 1D curves. A common method of computing such manifolds in the literature involves linear approximations of the manifolds, while the author's past work has developed a nonlinear manifold…

An Encoder-Decoder Network for Beamforming over Sparse Large-Scale MIMO Channels
We develop an end-to-end deep learning framework for downlink beamforming in large-scale sparse MIMO channels. The core is a deep EDN architecture with three modules: (i) an encoder NN, deployed at each user end, that compresses estimated downlink channels into low-dimensional latent vectors. The latent vector from each user is compressed and then fed back to the BS. (ii) a beamformer decoder NN at the BS that maps recovered latent vectors to beamformers, and (iii) a channel decoder NN at the B…

Interpretable EEG-to-Image Generation with Semantic Prompts
Decoding visual experience from brain signals offers exciting possibilities for neuroscience and interpretable AI. While EEG is accessible and temporally precise, its limitations in spatial detail hinder image reconstruction. Our model bypasses direct EEG-to-image generation by aligning EEG signals with multilevel semantic captions -- ranging from object-level to abstract themes -- generated by a large language model. A transformer-based EEG encoder maps brain activity to these captions through…

Rescaling of unconditional Schauder frames in Hilbert spaces and completely bounded maps
We prove that if every element $u$ in a Hilbert space $H$ admits a representation as unconditionally convergent series $$u=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \langle u, y_k\rangle x_k,$$ then there exist nonzero scalars $\{α_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ such that both sequences $\{α_k x_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ and $\{\overlineα_k^{-1}y_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ are frames. Our result has the following equivalent reformulation: if $Φ:\ell^\infty\to B(H)$ is a bounded linear map such that for every element of the unit vector basis $e…

Existence of minimal maps of degree one in $W^{\frac1p,p}(\mathbb S^1,\mathbb S^1)$ for $p \in [p',2]$, where $p' \approx 1.13924$
In this note, we show how the results of Mazowiecka--Schikorra, combined with those of Bourgain--Brezis--Mironescu, imply the existence of minimal maps of degree one in $ W^{\frac{1}{p},p}(\mathbb{S}^1,\mathbb{S}^1) $ for $ p \in [p', 2] $, where $ p' \approx 1.13924 $. This provides an affirmative answer in this range to a question posed by Mironescu and Brezis--Mironescu. In order to do so, we complement the results of Mazowiecka--Schikorra by extending them to the case $ n = 1 $ and $ 1 < p …

DepthGait: Multi-Scale Cross-Level Feature Fusion of RGB-Derived Depth and Silhouette Sequences for Robust Gait Recognition
Robust gait recognition requires highly discriminative representations, which are closely tied to input modalities. While binary silhouettes and skeletons have dominated recent literature, these 2D representations fall short of capturing sufficient cues that can be exploited to handle viewpoint variations, and capture finer and meaningful details of gait. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework, termed DepthGait, that incorporates RGB-derived depth maps and silhouettes for enhanced gait r…

Scalable Quantum Optimisation using HADOF: Hamiltonian Auto-Decomposition Optimisation Framework
Quantum Annealing (QA) and QAOA are promising quantum optimisation algorithms used for finding approximate solutions to combinatorial problems on near-term NISQ systems. Many NP-hard problems can be reformulated as Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimisation (QUBO), which maps naturally onto quantum Hamiltonians. However, the limited qubit counts of current NISQ devices restrict practical deployment of such algorithms. In this study, we present the Hamiltonian Auto-Decomposition Optimisation Fr…

Debiasing Machine Learning Predictions for Causal Inference Without Additional Ground Truth Data: "One Map, Many Trials" in Satellite-Driven Poverty Analysis
Machine learning models trained on Earth observation data, such as satellite imagery, have demonstrated significant promise in predicting household-level wealth indices, enabling the creation of high-resolution wealth maps that can be leveraged across multiple causal trials. However, because standard training objectives prioritize overall predictive accuracy, these predictions inherently suffer from shrinkage toward the mean, leading to attenuated estimates of causal treatment effects and limit…

Nearly full-sky low-multipole CMB temperature anisotropy: III. CMB anomalies
Unexpected features have been observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature on large scales. We revisit these CMB anomalies using new foreground-cleaned CMB temperature maps derived in a companion paper from WMAP and Planck data, which are tailored to low-resolution analysis and require only minimal masking of $1\%$ of the sky. These maps allow us to assess the impact of foreground-cleaning methods and the choice of sky cut on the significance of five commonly studied CMB anomal…

Singular Sets of Riemannian Exponential Maps in Hydrodynamics
We prove that the singular sets for the Lagrangian solution maps of the two-dimensional inviscid Euler and generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations are Gaussian null sets. To achieve this we carry out a spectral analysis of an operator related to the coadjoint representation of the algebra of divergence-free vector fields on the fluid domain. In particular, we establish sharp results on the Schatten-von Neumann class to which this operator belongs. Furthermore, its failure to be compact …

Using emission line data of M33 observed with SITELLE as part of the Star-formation, Ionized Gas, and Nebular Abundances Legacy Survey (SIGNALS), we present maps of the principal optical emission line ratios for NGC 604, the most luminous HII region in M33.

Unique equilibrium states for Viana maps with small potentials
We investigate the thermodynamic formalism for Viana maps-skew products obtained by coupling an expanding circle map with a slightly perturbed quadratic family on the fibers. For every Hölder potential $φ$ whose oscillation is below an explicit threshold, we show that an equilibrium state not only exists but is unique and satisfies an upper level-2 large-deviation principle. All of these conclusions persist under sufficiently small perturbations of the reference map.

MM-Nav: Multi-View VLA Model for Robust Visual Navigation via Multi-Expert Learning
Visual navigation policy is widely regarded as a promising direction, as it mimics humans by using egocentric visual observations for navigation. However, optical information of visual observations is difficult to be explicitly modeled like LiDAR point clouds or depth maps, which subsequently requires intelligent models and large-scale data. To this end, we propose to leverage the intelligence of the Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model to learn diverse navigation capabilities from synthetic expe…

On the characterization side, we derive optimization-based conditions equivalent to $k$-positivity that (a) reduce to a simple check when $k=d$, (b) reveal a direct link to the spectral norm of certain order-3 tensors (aligning with known NP-hardness barriers for $k

Within the framework of Lagrangian variables, we develop a method for deriving explicit solutions to the 2D Boussinesq equations using harmonic mapping theory. By reformulating the characterization of flow solutions described by harmonic functions, we reduce the problem to solving a particular nonlinear differential system in complex space. To solve this nonlinear differential system, we introduce the Schwarzian and pre-Schwarzian derivatives, and derive the properties of the sense-preserving h…

Inland-LOAM: Voxel-Based Structural Semantic Mapping for Inland Waterways
Accurate geospatial information is crucial for safe, autonomous Inland Waterway Transport (IWT), as existing charts (IENC) lack real-time detail and conventional LiDAR SLAM fails in waterway environments. These challenges lead to vertical drift and non-semantic maps, hindering autonomous navigation. This paper introduces Inland-LOAM, a LiDAR SLAM framework for waterways. It uses an improved feature extraction and a water surface planar constraint to mitigate vertical drift. A novel pipeline t…

Discrete Koenigs nets and finite Laplace sequences
Q-nets are maps from the square grid to projective space that have planar faces. We consider the Laplace sequences of Q-nets, which are determined by iterating a discrete time dynamics called Laplace transformations. In general, the Laplace sequences are bi-infinite. However, there are special cases in which a Laplace transform degenerates to a curve. In these cases we say that the sequences terminates. In this paper, we consider two special cases of Q-nets which are both called (discrete) Koen…

The boundary of chaos for piecewise smooth maps and the boundary of positive Hausdorff dimension for survivor sets of open maps
We describe the boundary of chaos separating regions of parameter space with positive topological entropy from those with zero topological entropy for a class of piecewise smooth maps. This coincides with the boundary of positive Hausdorff dimension for the survivor sets of a class of open maps. There are precisely two types of codimension one transitions across the boundaries. One of these involves heteroclinic connections, and in this case there is a finite number of periodic orbits at the tr…

Non-squeezing and capacities for some calibrated geometries
It was shown by Barron--Shafiee that an analogue of Gromov's non-squeezing theorem holds for affine maps which preserve a power $ω^k$ of the symplectic form $ω$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. In the present paper, we state and prove in two ways an improved version of their result which is closer to the classical affine non-squeezing theorem. One proof closely follows their argument, and the other consists of a reduction to the classical case by showing that, except for the case $k = n$, every linear m…

Consider the dynamical system constitued by a continuous function $F:\mathcal{A}^\mathbb{N}\to\mathcal{A}^\mathbb{N}$ where $\mathcal{A}$ is a finite alphabet. The perturbed counterpart, denoted by $F_ε$, is obtained after each iteration of $F$ by modifying each cell independently with probability $ε\in[0,1]$ and choosing the new value uniformly. We characterize the possible sets of $ε\in[0,1]$ such that $F_ε$ has a unique measure. These sets are exactly the $G_δ$ sets (countable intersect…
