Surfaces of minimal degree of tame representation type and mutations of Cohen–Macaulay modules
2017
We provide two examples of smooth projective surfaces of tame CM type, by showing that any parameter space of isomorphism classes of indecomposable ACM bundles with fixed rank and determinant on a rational quartic scroll in projective 5-space is either a single point or a projective line. For surfaces of minimal degree and wild CM type, we classify rigid Ulrich bundles as Fibonacci extensions. For the rational normal scrolls S(2,3) and S(3,3), a complete classification of rigid ACM bundles is given in terms of the action of the braid group in three strands.
Rotation Forms and Local Hamiltonian Monodromy
2017
International audience; The monodromy of torus bundles associated with completely integrable systems can be computed using geometric techniques (constructing homology cycles) or analytic arguments (computing discontinuities of abelian integrals). In this article, we give a general approach to the computation of monodromy that resembles the analytical one, reducing the problem to the computation of residues of polar 1-forms. We apply our technique to three celebrated examples of systems with monodromy (the champagne bottle, the spherical pendulum, the hydrogen atom) and to the case of non-degenerate focus-focus singularities, re-obtaining the classical results. An advantage of this approach …
Torsion of a finite base locus
2018
We interpret geometrically the torsion of the symmetric algebra of the ideal sheaf of a zero-dimensional scheme Z defined by $n+1$ equations in an $n$-dimensional variety. This leads us to generalise a formula of A.Dimca and S.Papadima in positive characteristic for a rational transformation with finite base locus. Among other applications, we construct an explicit example of a homaloidal curve of degree $5$ in characteristic $3$, answering negatively a question of A.V.D\'oria, S.H.Hassanzadeh and A.Simis.
Convergence Rates for Persistence Diagram Estimation in Topological Data Analysis
2014
International audience; Computational topology has recently seen an important development toward data analysis, giving birth to the field of topological data analysis. Topological persistence, or persistent homology, appears as a fundamental tool in this field. In this paper, we study topological persistence in general metric spaces, with a statistical approach. We show that the use of persistent homology can be naturally considered in general statistical frameworks and that persistence diagrams can be used as statistics with interesting convergence properties. Some numerical experiments are performed in various contexts to illustrate our results.
The non-degenerate Dupin cyclides in the space of spheres using Geometric Algebra
2012
International audience; Dupin cyclides are algebraic surfaces of degree 4 discovered by the French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin early in the 19th century and \textcolor{black}{were} introduced in CAD by R. Martin in 1982. A Dupin cyclide can be defined, in two different ways, as the envelope of a one-parameter family of oriented spheres. So, it is very interesting to model the Dupin cyclides in the space of spheres, space wherein each family of spheres can be seen as a conic curve. In this paper, we model the non-degenerate Dupin cyclides and the space of spheres using Conformal Geometric Algebra. This new approach permits us to benefit from the advantages of the use of Geometric Alge…
THE HOMOLOGY OF DIGRAPHS AS A GENERALIZATION OF HOCHSCHILD HOMOLOGY
2010
J. Przytycki has established a connection between the Hochschild homology of an algebra $A$ and the chromatic graph homology of a polygon graph with coefficients in $A$. In general the chromatic graph homology is not defined in the case where the coefficient ring is a non-commutative algebra. In this paper we define a new homology theory for directed graphs which takes coefficients in an arbitrary $A-A$ bimodule, for $A$ possibly non-commutative, which on polygons agrees with Hochschild homology through a range of dimensions.
A note on the Lawrence-Krammer-Bigelow representation
2002
A very popular problem on braid groups has recently been solved by Bigelow and Krammer, namely, they have found a faithful linear representation for the braid group B_n. In their papers, Bigelow and Krammer suggested that their representation is the monodromy representation of a certain fibration. Our goal in this paper is to understand this monodromy representation using standard tools from the theory of hyperplane arrangements. In particular, we prove that the representation of Bigelow and Krammer is a sub-representation of the monodromy representation which we consider, but that it cannot be the whole representation.
3-manifolds which are orbit spaces of diffeomorphisms
2008
Abstract In a very general setting, we show that a 3-manifold obtained as the orbit space of the basin of a topological attractor is either S 2 × S 1 or irreducible. We then study in more detail the topology of a class of 3-manifolds which are also orbit spaces and arise as invariants of gradient-like diffeomorphisms (in dimension 3). Up to a finite number of exceptions, which we explicitly describe, all these manifolds are Haken and, by changing the diffeomorphism by a finite power, all the Seifert components of the Jaco–Shalen–Johannson decomposition of these manifolds are made into product circle bundles.
On the classification of mapping class actions on Thurston's asymmetric metric
2011
AbstractWe study the action of the elements of the mapping class group of a surface of finite type on the Teichmüller space of that surface equipped with Thurston's asymmetric metric. We classify such actions as elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic and pseudo-hyperbolic, depending on whether the translation distance of such an element is zero or positive and whether the value of this translation distance is attained or not, and we relate these four types to Thurston's classification of mapping class elements. The study is parallel to the one made by Bers in the setting of Teichmüller space equipped with Teichmüller's metric, and to the one made by Daskalopoulos and Wentworth in the setting of Te…
Approche adaptative de simplification géométrique temps réel de modèles 3D distribués pour la visualisation et l'interaction à distance
2010
National audience; Deux moyens permettent aujourd'hui d'accéder visuellement à des données 3D volumineuses à distance : le premier consiste à transférer les données entre le serveur et le poste client/utilisateur, le second consiste à générer et à transférer des " photographies" de ces données 3D qui restent alors localisées sur le serveur. Le goulot d'étranglement principal dans les deux cas est la bande passante du réseau qui ne permet pas de transférer des volumes de données importants. Bien plus, la visualisation de plusieurs centaines de giga-octets d'informations nécessite de grandes capacités de stockage (disque dur ou mémoire) et des équipements de visualisation très performants (ca…
