Shapes of Alignments

چکیده
We present a general approach for representing, composing, and computing alignments, based on the category theoretic notions of diagram, pushout, and colimit. This generalises the possible ‘shapes’ of alignments that have been introduced previously in similar approaches. We use the theory of institutions to represent heterogeneous ontologies, and show how the tool Hets can be employed to compute the colimit ontology of an alignment diagram.

Intrinsic alignments of BOSS LOWZ galaxies – II. Impact of shape measurement methods
Measurements of intrinsic alignments of galaxy shapes with the large-scale density field, and the inferred intrinsic alignments model parameters, are sensitive to the shape measurement methods used. In this paper we measure the intrinsic alignments of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III (SDSS-III) Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) LOWZ galaxies using three different shape measurement ...

We present a general approach for representing and combining alignments and computing these combinations, based on the category theoretic notions of diagram, pushout, and colimit. This generalises the possible ‘shapes’ of alignments that have been introduced previously in similar approaches. We use the theory of institutions to represent heterogeneous ontologies, and show how the tool Hets can ...

متن کاملLarge-scale structure and the intrinsic alignment of galaxies
Coherent alignments of galaxy shapes, often called “intrinsic alignments” (IA), are the most significant source of astrophysical uncertainty in weak lensing measurements. We develop the tidal alignment model of IA and demonstrate its success in describing observational data. We also describe a technique to separate IA from galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements. Applying this technique to luminous ...
متن کاملAutocorrelation Descriptor for Efficient Co-Alignment of 3D Shape Collections
Co-aligning a collection of shapes to a consistent pose is a common problem in shape analysis with applications in shape matching, retrieval and visualization. We observe that resolving among some orientations is easier than others, for example, a common mistake for bicycles is to align front-to-back, while even the simplest algorithm would not erroneously pick orthogonal alignment. The key ide...
