However, the first results in the classical theory of translation surfaces go back to the early 20th century. The objects were not called translation surfaces then but had different names over the years. This is due to the fact that translation surfaces arise in very different contexts which makes them particularly interesting. There are relations to dynamical systems, Teichmüller theory, algebraic geometry, topology, geometric group theory, and many other fields. The most visual way to define a classical translation surface isby considering finitely many polygons in the plane. If every edge ofthe polygons can be identified with a parallel edge of the same length so that we obtain a connected, orientable surface then the resulting object is a translation surface. It is locally flat at all points with the possible exception of the former vertices of the polygons. These exceptional points are called singularities and they are cone points of the resulting surface with cone angle 2πk for some k ≥ 2. Classical translation surfaces arise for example in the study of billiards in a polygon with rational angles, i.e. in a polygon with angles that are rational multiples of π. Fox and Kershner study billiard paths in such polygons in [FK36] by “unfolding” the polygon. This means they reflect the polygon across all edges, then reflect the images of the polygon across all images of the edges, and so on. The original, perhaps complicated billiard path in the polygon can then be considered as a straight line flow in this space of copies. To obtain a translation surface, Fox and Kershner choose a finite subset of these copies that constitute a fundamental domain under the group of reflections. The edges of the reflected polygons are identified via the product of the corresponding reflections which isinfact a translation. The condition on the rationality of the angles is important to guarantee that the fundamental domain consists of finitely many polygons. In Introduction particular, it ensures that the singularities of the resulting translation surface are cone points as discussed above. The unfolding construction of Fox and Kershner is described again by Katok and Zemlyakov in [ZK76] which leads to a number of articles, for instance [KMS86] by Kerckhoff, Masur, and Smillie which provides an ergodicity result on billiard paths. This is also where abelian differentials come into the theory. One obtains a translation structure on a Riemann surface by integrating over an abelian differential in neighborhoods of all points except for the zeros of the differential. The name “translation surface”, however, goes back to Thurston’s lecture notes [Thu81, Chapter 3] where he defines (G, X)-manifolds and G-manifolds without mentioning translation surfaces explicitly. In the related language of F-structures, the translation surfaces occur again in the work of Veech. His article [Vee89] associates a group, now called Veech group, to a translation surface and relates the group to properties of the dynamics on the Teichmüller space. In [Vee90], Veech introduces the idea to use translation surfaces to estimate the volume of moduli spaces which opens up the field to algebraic geometry. Since then, the theory of classical translation surfaces has grown to a research field on its own with numerous mathematicians, including several Fields medalists, from algebraic geometry, dynamical systems, and geometric group theory working on it. Having spoken about the classical translation surfaces (which are called finite translation surfaces from now on) so far, a more general concept shines through along the way. In the literature, it is often called infinite translation surface but as the more general object it should have the more general name – translation surface – in the author’s view. The definition of a general translation surface is that it is a connected surface with a translation structure (see Definition 1.1). If we do not insist, for example, on rational angles then the unfolding of a polygon provides an infinite translation surface, studied by Valdez in [Val09] and [Val12]. As we have indicated in the discussion before, the singularities of the resulting translation surface do not need to be cone points. Another possibility to produce examples is to consider infinite coverings of finite translation surfaces as was done by Hubert and Schmithüsen in [HS10], by Hooper, Hubert, and Weiss in [HW12], [HHW13], and [HW13], 2 Introduction and by Frączek and Ulcigrai in [FU14], for example. A special example of this class of translation surfaces is the wind-tree model which goes back to a model of Ehrenfest and Ehrenfest that describes the movement of gaseous particles. Many different aspects of the wind-tree model are studied, for instance, by Avila, Delecroix, Hubert, Lelièvre, and Troubetzkoy in [DHL14], [HLT11], and [AHar]. In the two mentioned constructions, the singularities of the translation surfaces are not cone points in the strict sense any more but they can be considered as infinite angle analogs of cone points. For both kinds of cone points it is true that there exists a punctured neighborhood of the singularity which is a finite or infinite cyclic translation covering ofthe once-punctured flat disk. In [Cha04], Chamanara describes a first example of a family of transla- tion surfaces so that each translation surface in that family has a singularity which has no punctured neighborhood that is a translation covering of a once-punctured disk. In particular, every neighborhood of a singularity in that family has infinite genus and so the topology of the corresponding translation surface is more complicated but also raises more interesting questions. Singularities of this type are called wild and translation surfaces with wild singularities are called wild translation surfaces. Different examples of wild translation surfaces have then been studied, for instance arising as a geometric limit of the Arnoux-Yoccoz surfaces defined by Bowman in [Bow13] and arising from a generalization of Thurston’s construction (see [Thu88]) by Hooper in [Hoo15]. However, the systematic study of wild singularities started quite recently with the work of Bowman and Valdez. In [BV13], they define linear approaches and rotational components (see Section 1.2 for definitions) which makes it possible to study a wild singularity in terms of geodesic rays emanating from the singularity. In the theory of finite translation surfaces, an easy-to-prove but fasci- nating equation is true: the Gauß-Bonnet formula provides a correlation between the topology of translation surfaces and the geometry of their sin- gularities. In fact, the equation relates the genus and the cone angle of the singularities, without using any other information (see Proposition 1.14). A similar result on general translation surfaces would not only be nice in itself but could help to classify translation surfaces. For finite translation surfaces, there exists a well-established theory on moduli spaces and strata 3 Introduction of translation surfaces which has recently made a big leap with the results of Eskin, Mirzakhani, and Mohammadi in [EMM15] and of Eskin and Mirzakhani in [EM13]. Such a theory is desirable for general translation surfaces but there is still a lack of a good notion of moduli spaces and even more of strata of translation surfaces. To remedy this lack it seems natural to first study singularities (especially wild singularities) in more detail and establish relations between the singularities as a geometric object of a translation surface and the topology in terms of genus and ends. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to these new aspects of the theory. We do this under three different points of view. As one aspect, we study the local neighborhood of a singularity, in terms of topological properties and their spaces of rotational components. As a second aspect we consider the global topology of wild translation surfaces, in particular the spaces of ends that can occur. The third aspect is to bring together these two points of view and show under which conditions the existence of a singularity with given properties can imply topological properties of the translation surface.

  • Entropy Generation in Gaussian Quantum Transformations: Applying the Replica Method to Continuous-Variable Quantum Information Theory
    www.nature.com/npjqi All rights reserved 2056-6387/15 ARTICLE OPEN Entropy generation in Gaussian quantum transformations: applying the replica method to continuous-variable quantum information theory Christos N Gagatsos1, Alexandros I Karanikas2, Georgios Kordas2 and Nicolas J Cerf1 In spite of their simple description in terms of rotations or symplectic transformations in phase space, quadratic Hamiltonians such as those modelling the most common Gaussian operations on bosonic modes remain poorly understood in terms of entropy production. For instance, determining the quantum entropy generated by a Bogoliubov transformation is notably a hard problem, with generally no known analytical solution, while it is vital to the characterisation of quantum communication via bosonic channels. Here we overcome this difficulty by adapting the replica method, a tool borrowed from statistical physics and quantum field theory. We exhibit a first application of this method to continuous-variable quantum information theory, where it enables accessing entropies in an optical parametric amplifier. As an illustration, we determine the entropy generated by amplifying a binary superposition of the vacuum and a Fock state, which yields a surprisingly simple, yet unknown analytical expression. npj Quantum Information (2015) 2, 15008; doi:10.1038/npjqi.2015.8; published online 16 February 2016 INTRODUCTION Gaussian states (e.g., the vacuum state, resulting after amplifica- Gaussian transformations are ubiquitous in quantum physics, tion in a thermal state of well-known

  • Generalized Multiple Correlation Coefficient As a Similarity
    Generalized Multiple Correlation Coefficient as a Similarity Measurement between Trajectories Julen Urain1 Jan Peters1;2 Abstract— Similarity distance measure between two trajecto- ries is an essential tool to understand patterns in motion, for example, in Human-Robot Interaction or Imitation Learning. The problem has been faced in many fields, from Signal Pro- cessing, Probabilistic Theory field, Topology field or Statistics field. Anyway, up to now, none of the trajectory similarity measurements metrics are invariant to all possible linear trans- formation of the trajectories (rotation, scaling, reflection, shear mapping or squeeze mapping). Also not all of them are robust in front of noisy signals or fast enough for real-time trajectory classification. To overcome this limitation this paper proposes a similarity distance metric that will remain invariant in front of any possible linear transformation. Based on Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient and the Coefficient of Determination, our similarity metric, the Generalized Multiple Correlation Fig. 1: GMCC applied for clustering taught trajectories in Coefficient (GMCC) is presented like the natural extension of Imitation Learning the Multiple Correlation Coefficient. The motivation of this paper is two-fold: First, to introduce a new correlation metric that presents the best properties to compute similarities between trajectories invariant to linear transformations and compare human-robot table tennis match. In [11], HMM were used it with some state of the art similarity distances. Second, to to recognize human gestures. The recognition was invariant present a natural way of integrating the similarity metric in an to the starting position of the gestures.

We apply this formalism to the construction of functional space and operators for quadratic potentials- gaussian pricing kernels in finance. We describe the Black-Scholes theory, the Ho-Lee interest rate model and the Euclidean repulsive and attractive oscillators. The symmetry group used in this work has the structure of a principal bundle with base (dynamical) group a + semi-direct extension of the Heisenberg-Weyl group by SL(2;R), and structure group (fiber) R . + By using a R central extension, we obtain the appropriate commutator between the momentum and coordinate operators [pˆ;xˆ] = 1 from the beginning, rather than the quantum-mechanical [pˆ;xˆ] = −i}.

Rotation in R3 around the x-axis Opens a modal. So what is a1 plus b? That's my first condition for this to be a linear transformation. Let me define my transformation. This means that applying the transformation T to a vector is the same as multiplying by this matrix. Distributive property of matrix products Opens a modal. Sorry, what is vector a plus vector b? The distinction between active and passive transformations is important. Name optional. Now, we just showed you that if I take the transformations separately of each of the vectors and then add them up, I get the exact same thing as if I took the vectors and added them up first and then took the transformation. Example of finding matrix inverse Opens a modal. We can view it as factoring out the c. We already had linear combinations so we might as well have a linear transformation.

  • 3D Oriented Projective Geometry Through Versors of R3,3
    Adv. Appl.

It is possible to set up a correspondence between 3D space and R3,3, interpretable as the space of oriented lines (and screws), such that special projective collineations of the 3D space become represented as rotors in the geometric algebra of R3,3. We show explicitly how various primitive projective transformations (translations, rotations, scalings, perspectivities, Lorentz transformations) are represented, in geomet- rically meaningful parameterizations of the rotors by their bivectors. Odd versors of this representation represent projective correlations, so (oriented) reflections can only be represented in a non-versor manner. Specifically, we show how a new and useful ‘oriented reflection’ can be defined directly on lines. We compare the resulting framework to the unoriented R3,3 approach of Klawitter (Adv Appl Clifford Algebra, 24:713–736, 2014), and the R4,4 rotor-based approach by Goldman et al. (Adv Appl Clifford Algebra, 25(1):113–149, 2015) in terms of expres- siveness and efficiency. Mathematics Subject Classification. 15A33, 51M35. Keywords.
