On the Topology of Compact Affine Manifolds

چکیده
Geodesically complete affine manifolds are quotients of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous action of a subgroup of affine Euclidean transformations. An equivalent definition is that the tangent bundle of such a manifold admits a flat, symmetric and complete connection. If the completeness assumption is dropped, the manifold is not necessarily obtained as the quotient of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous group of affine transformations. In fact the universal cover may no longer be the Euclidean space. The main result of this paper states that all compact affine manifolds have 0 Euler characteristic and that the fundamental group of these manifolds is non-trivial.

A Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
متن کاملPseudoframe multiresolution structure on abelian locally compact groups
Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group. The concept of a generalized multiresolution structure (GMS) in $L^2(G)$ is discussed which is a generalization of GMS in $L^2(mathbb{R})$. Basically a GMS in $L^2(G)$ consists of an increasing sequence of closed subspaces of $L^2(G)$ and a pseudoframe of translation type at each level. Also, the construction of affine frames for $L^2(G)$ bas...
متن کاملDesign of a Novel Framework to Control Nonlinear Affine Systems Based on Fast Terminal Sliding-Mode Controller
In this paper, a novel approach for finite-time stabilization of uncertain affine systems is proposed. In the proposed approach, a fast terminal sliding mode (FTSM) controller is designed, based on the input-output feedback linearization of the nonlinear system with considering its internal dynamics. One of the main advantages of the proposed approach is that only the outputs and external state...
متن کاملPoisson Manifolds of Compact Types (pmct 1)
This is the first in a series of papers dedicated to the study of Poisson manifolds of compact types (PMCTs). This notion encompasses several classes of Poisson manifolds defined via properties of their symplectic integrations. In this first paper we establish some fundamental properties and constructions of PMCTs. For instance, we show that their Poisson cohomology behaves very much like the d...
متن کاملFractal Dimension of Graphs of Typical Continuous Functions on Manifolds
If M is a compact Riemannian manifold then we show that for typical continuous function defined on M, the upper box dimension of graph(f) is as big as possible and the lower box dimension of graph(f) is as small as possible.
