Best Fit

We formulate a variational problem on a Riemannian manifoldMwhose solutions are piecewise smooth geodesies that best fit a given data set of time labelled points inM. By a limiting process, these solutions converge to a single point inM. which we prove to be the Riemannian mean of the given points for some particular Riemannian manifolds such as Euclidean spaces, connected and compact Lie groups, and spheres.

AbstractTwisted K-theory on a manifold X, with twisting in the 3rd integral cohomology, is discussed in the case when X is a product of a circle and a manifold M. The twist is assumed to be decomposable as a cup product of the basic integral one form on and an integral class in H2(M,ℤ). This case was studied some time ago by V. Mathai, R. Melrose, and I.M. Singer. Our aim is to give an explicit construction for the twisted K-theory classes using a quantum field theory model, in the same spirit as the supersymmetric Wess-Zumino-Witten model is used for constructing (equivariant) twisted K-theory classes on compact Lie groups.

Natural Expansion

Given a compact linear Lie group G, we form a natural expansion of the theory of the reals where G and the graph of a logarithm function on G live. We prove its effective model-completeness and decidability modulo a suitable variant of Schanuel's Conjecture.
