A spinorial energy functional: Critical points and gradient flow
On the universal bundle of unit spinors we study a natural energy functional whose critical points, if dimM ≥ 3, are precisely the pairs (g,φ) consisting of a Ricci-flat Riemannian metric g together with a parallel g-spinor φ. We investigate the basic properties of this functional and study its negative gradient flow, the so-called spinor flow. In particular, we prove short-time existence and u...
متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Association Studies: A Few Critical Points
Uncovering DNA sequence variations that correlate with phenotypic changes, e.g., diseases, is the aim of sequence variation studies. Common types sequence variations are Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip).SNPs are the third-generation molecular marker. SNP represents a DNA sequence variant of a single base pair with the minor allele occurring in more than 1% of a given popula...
متن کاملDetecting Critical Points of Skeletons Using Triangle Decomposition of Gradient Vector Flow Field
Skeletons of an object have a variety of applications, such as automatic path generation, shape matching, identification, and classification. In this paper, we introduce a method to detect the critical points of skeletons, then skeletons of an object can be generated by linking the detected critical points. The method is based on concepts from 2-D phase plane analysis of the linear Gradient Vec...
متن کاملEnergy functional and fixed points of a neural network
A dynamic system, which is used in the neural network theory, Ising spin glasses and factor analysis, has been investigated. The properties of the connection matrix, which guarantee the coincidence of the set of the fixed points of the dynamic system with the set of local minima of the energy functional, have been determined. The influence of the connection matrix diagonal elements on the struc...
متن کاملCritical points of the Onsager functional on a sphere
We study Onsager’s model of nematic phase transitions with orientation parameter on a sphere. We consider two interaction potentials: the antisymmetric (with respect to orientation inversion) dipolar potential and symmetric Maier-Saupe potential. We obtain a complete classification and explicit expressions of all critical points, analyze their stability, and construct the corresponding bifurcat...
