@arXiv_mathCV_bot@mastoxiv.pageA Hadamard Formula for Equilibrium Envelopes under Parallel Deformation

Abstract: Let $(X,\omega_0)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold, and let $U\Subset X$ have $C^{3,1}$ uniformly strongly pseudoconvex boundary. For the equilibrium envelope $u_0$ associated with $X\setminus U$, the normalized Monge--Amp\`ere measure vanishes on $U$ and equals the background measure $V^{-1}\omega_0^n$ on $X\setminus\overline U$; its remaining component is a singular measure supported on $\partial U$, where $V=\int_X\omega_0^n$. We identify this boundary component as the negative outward Anzellotti trace of a divergence-measure flux current. We then prove a one-sided Hadamard formula for the normalized Monge--Amp\`ere energy along the outward parallel family $U_\varepsilon=\{\rho<\varepsilon\}$. The nonlinear telescoping identity gives the mixed Bedford--Taylor boundary traces that sum up to the trace of the current
\[
\mathcal J_{\mathrm{tot}}
=\frac1V\mathrm{d}^c u_0\wedge\sum_{p=0}^{n-1}(p 1)\omega_{u_0}^p\wedge\omega_0^{n-1-p},
\qquad \omega_{u_0}=\omega_0 \mathrm{d}\mathrm{d}^c u_0.
\]
These results provide a local weak formulation of boundary flux and normal variation for regular interface problems related to Darcy/Hele--Shaw type problems and Monge--Amp\`ere growth.

@michabbb@social.vivaldi.net🔧 The implementation in laravel/horizon#1818 is tiny: sum log1p(size) across all queues, then divide each queue's log1p by that total instead of using the raw job count. No strategy interface, no custom allocator, no new service
🧮 Why log1p? It computes log(1 x), so an empty queue gets weight 0 instead of an undefined log(0). Natural log vs log10 does not matter — the base cancels out during normalization

Abstract: Neural network field theory (NN-FT) defines a field theory by a network architecture together with a probability density on its latent variables. For compact theories the local Gaussian sector is only part of the story: one must also sum over discrete topological sectors. We review a mixed continuous/discrete latent-variable construction and apply it to two compact bosons. For the Berezinskii--Kosterlitz--Thouless transition, a random Fourier feature spin-wave sampler supplemented by an explicit Coulomb gas vortex sector reproduces the Gaussian critical line below $T_c$, vortex proliferation above $T_c$, the essential singularity of the correlation length, and the Nelson--Kosterlitz jump. For the bosonic string, oscillator modes augmented by momentum--winding labels reproduce circle T-duality, Buscher transformations on constant toroidal backgrounds, self-dual current algebra enhancement, and a toy T-fold. The common lesson is that the same local neural sampler, paired with different discrete topological data, yields physically distinct compact theories. These proceedings are based on arXiv:2604.02313.

Abstract: Recovering a low-dimensional latent subspace from nonlinear observations of Gaussian covariates in high dimensions is a fundamental problem in feature learning. Here, we consider Gaussian multi-index models in which the covariates $\boldsymbol{x}_i \stackrel{\mathrm{i.i.d.}}{\sim} \mathcal{N}(0,\boldsymbol{I}_d)$ and the responses $\boldsymbol{y}_i$ depend on $\boldsymbol{x}_i$ only through its projection onto an unknown $r$-dimensional subspace. Earlier work based on approximate message passing (AMP) identified a sharp threshold for weak recovery [Troiani et al., 2025], raising the question of whether it can be attained, without side information, by a spectral method. We answer this affirmatively and develop a general random matrix theory for matrix-valued spectral estimators of the form \[\boldsymbol{D}_n=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\boldsymbol{T}(\boldsymbol{y}_i)\otimes\boldsymbol{x}_i\boldsymbol{x}_i^\top,\] where $\boldsymbol{T}$ is an arbitrary bounded symmetric matrix-valued preprocessing map of fixed dimension. As $n,d \to \infty$ with $n/d\to\alpha$, we prove that the empirical spectral measure of $\boldsymbol{D}_n$ converges almost surely to a deterministic compactly supported distribution characterized by a matrix-valued self-consistent equation. We then establish a spectral phase transition for the largest eigenvalue: below threshold it sticks to the bulk edge, while above threshold an outlier emerges. We characterize the outlier location through a finite-dimensional deterministic equation and show that the associated spectral estimator achieves weak recovery of the latent subspace. Finally, we prove that the AMP-derived preprocessing of [Defilippis et al., 2025] is optimal among all bounded matrix-valued preprocessing maps of any fixed dimension. Its transition coincides with the AMP weak-recovery threshold, proving the general spectral conjecture of [Defilippis et al., 2025].

Abstract: We propose the Long-Short-Range Neural Network (LSR-Net), an extensible operator-learning framework for predicting pattern dynamics on planar domains, spherical surfaces, and general manifolds. The method decomposes the forward evolution operator into a long-range component, represented by a compact Fourier multiplier constructed via the Sum-of-Exponentials (SOE) approximation, and a short-range component adapted to the underlying geometry and its intrinsic symmetries. For general manifolds represented by irregularly sampled point clouds, the long-range component is implemented by Gaussian gridding onto an auxiliary regular grid, where the Fourier multiplier is efficiently applied in k-space using FFT and the result is interpolated back to the original sample points. We evaluate LSR-Net on several benchmark systems, including the Allen-Cahn, Cahn-Hilliard, Schnakenberg, and Turing systems, over planar domains, spherical surfaces, and a blob-shaped manifold. Numerical results demonstrate that LSR-Net consistently achieves higher accuracy and improved stability compared with baseline operator-learning models. In particular, for Allen-Cahn dynamics on the sphere, the RMSE is reduced by approximately three orders of magnitude compared with the Spherical Fourier Neural Operator (SFNO). Rotation and reflection equivariance tests further confirm that the learned operator is consistent with these geometric transformations. These results indicate that LSR-Net provides an effective and robust approach for learning pattern dynamics on complex geometries.

Abstract: For a $T_1$-space $X$, let $Cld(X)$ denote all its nonempty closed subsets and $T_4(X)=\{(F_1,F_2)\in Cld(X)^2:F_1\cap F_2=\emptyset\}$. In terms of closed sets, $X$ is $T_4$ iff for each $(F_1,F_2)\in T_4(X)$, there is a pair of closed sets $\phi_1(F_1,F_2)$ and $\phi_2(F_1,F_2)$ such that their union is $X$ and $F_j\cap \phi_j(F_1,F_2)=\emptyset$ for $j=1,2$. Thus, in this paper, for a topology $\tau$ on $Cld(X)$, we introduce the definition: A $T_1$-space $X$ is called $CT_4$ for the topology $\tau$ if the above maps $\phi_j:T_4(X)\to Cld(X)$ are continuous on $\tau$. Similarly, for $i=1,2,3$, we can define a $T_1$-space to be $CT_i$ for $\tau$. We only consider the Vietoris topology on $Cld(X)$ and show that every $CT_4$-space is countably compact, and every $CT_3$-space is a Fr\'{e}chet-Urysohn space, every separable subspace of a $CT_3$-space is metrizable. We give relevant examples. Any finite-dimensional cubes, the infinite-dimensional cube, any finite-dimensional spheres, and all 0-dimensional compact metrizable spaces are $CT_4$. All infinite discrete spaces, all finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces and all countable limit ordinal spaces are $CT_3$ but not $CT_4$. Also, each metrizable space with a unique non-isolated point is $CT_3$, and is $CT_4$ if it is compact. Moreover, the infinite sum of $CT_3$ spaces is $CT_3$ but not $CT_4$. Every countable space with a unique non-isolated point is $CT_2$, and it is $CT_3$ if and only if it is metrizable. All subfields of real numbers and their complement spaces are $CT_2$ but not $CT_4$; and their $CT_3$ status remains unclear. All uncountable ordinal spaces are not $CT_2$. The one-point compactification of any uncountable discrete space is not $CT_2$. $CT_1$ and $T_1$ are equivalent, hence all spaces above are $CT_1$. Open Problems: is there a non-metrizable $CT_3$ or $CT_4$ space? Is any compact $CT_2$ space $CT_3$ or $CT_4$?

Abstract: For a given real number $a>0$ and a given real polynomial $P_n\in \mathbb{R}[x]$ of degree $n=0, 1, 2, \ldots$ it is easy to see that $ \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(a)_k}{k!} P_n(k) z^k =\frac{S_{n, a}(z)}{(1-z)^{a n}}, \ |z|<1, $ where $S_{n, a}$ is a real polynomial of degree not greater than $n.$ Here $(a)_k =a(a 1)\cdot \ldots \cdot (a k-1),\ (a)_0 = 1,$ is the rising factorial, or the Pochhammer symbol. We consider the following open problem: to describe the set of real polynomials $P_n\in \mathbb{R}[x]$ of degree $n=0, 1, 2, \ldots,$ such that the corresponding polynomial $S_{n, a}$ has all real non-positive zeros. In the case $a=1$ this problem has been studied in \cite{vish}. We establish several new necessary conditions and several sufficient conditions, present a number of important examples, and formulate several open problems.

Abstract: String-derived higher-curvature scalar--tensor gravities encode microscopic coupling data in boundary response, raising the question of whether holographic observables can reconstruct the underlying higher-dimensional parameters. We answer this question for the five-dimensional string-derived Lovelock--Horndeski (SDLH) theory on its exact linear-dilaton asymptotically locally AdS branch, constructing the renormalized generating functional for an arbitrary boundary metric and spacetime-dependent scalar source. A boundary-covariant radial hierarchy unifies the variational problem, local backreaction, logarithmic obstruction, finite one-point functions, and Ward identities. Two response determinants organize the recursion, resonant obstructions, and metric--scalar mixing. The Weyl anomaly condenses into an Euler density, a Weyl-squared density, and a single curvature--scalar square whose paired variations generate the metric and scalar obstructions. The resulting renormalized functional carries string-selected coupling data into boundary geometry, operator response, anomaly coefficients, and a calculable interface with gravitational observables. On the regular branch, four scalar-normalization-invariant holographic combinations admit a global rational inverse to the continuous reduced couplings. At fixed compactification dimension the map has maximal rank, while the curvature-anomaly sum reconstructs the higher-dimensional Gauss--Bonnet coefficient without sign ambiguity. Holographic response thus provides an explicit, overdetermined boundary fingerprint of the underlying string reduction.
