A geometric point of view on mean-variance models

Piotr Jaworski (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper deals with the mathematics of the Markowitz theory of portfolio management. Let E and V be two homogeneous functions defined on ℝⁿ, the first linear, the other positive definite quadratic. Furthermore let Δ be a simplex contained in ℝⁿ (the set of admissible portfolios), for example Δ : x₁+ ... + xₙ = 1, x i 0 . Our goal is to investigate the properties of the restricted mappings (V,E):Δ → ℝ² (the so called Markowitz mappings) and to classify them. We introduce the notion of a generic model...

A geometric procedure for robust decoupling control of contact forces in robotic manipulation

Paolo Mercorelli, Domenico Prattichizzo (2003)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with the problem of controlling contact forces in robotic manipulators with general kinematics. The main focus is on control of grasping contact forces exerted on the manipulated object. A visco-elastic model for contacts is adopted. The robustness of the decoupling controller with respect to the uncertainties affecting system parameters is investigated. Sufficient conditions for the invariance of decoupling action under perturbations on the contact stiffness and damping parameters...

A Geometrical Construction for the Polynomial Invariants of some Reflection Groups

Sarti, Alessandra (2005)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 20F55, 13F20; Secondary 14L30.We construct invariant polynomials for the reflection groups [3, 4, 3] and [3, 3, 5] by using some special sets of lines on the quadric P1 × P1 in P3. Then we give a simple proof of the well known fact that the ring of invariants are rationally generated in degree 2,6,8,12 and 2,12,20,30.

A global mirror symmetry framework for the Landau–Ginzburg/Calabi–Yau correspondence

Alessandro Chiodo, Yongbin Ruan (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show how the Landau–Ginzburg/Calabi–Yau correspondence for the quintic three-fold can be cast into a global mirror symmetry framework. Then we draw inspiration from Berglund–Hübsch mirror duality construction to provide an analogue conjectural picture featuring all Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces within weighted projective spaces and certain quotients by finite abelian group actions.

A group action on Losev-Manin cohomological field theories

Sergey Shadrin, Dimitri Zvonkine (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We discuss an analog of the Givental group action for the space of solutions of the commutativity equation. There are equivalent formulations in terms of cohomology classes on the Losev-Manin compactifications of genus  0 moduli spaces; in terms of linear algebra in the space of Laurent series; in terms of differential operators acting on Gromov-Witten potentials; and in terms of multi-component KP tau-functions. The last approach is equivalent to the Losev-Polyubin classification that was obtained...

A group law on smooth real quartics having at least 3 real branches

Johan Huisman (2002)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let C be a smooth real quartic curve in 2 . Suppose that C has at least 3 real branches B 1 , B 2 , B 3 . Let B = B 1 × B 2 × B 3 and let O B . Let τ O be the map from B into the neutral component Jac ( C ) ( ) 0 of the set of real points of the jacobian of C , defined by letting τ O ( P ) be the divisor class of the divisor P i - O i . Then, τ O is a bijection. We show that this allows an explicit geometric description of the group law on Jac ( C ) ( ) 0 . It generalizes the classical geometric description of the group law on the neutral component of the set of real points of...

A higher Albanese map for complex threefolds based on a construction by M. Green

Lorenz Schneider (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We construct a higher Abel-Jacobi map for 0-cycles on complex threefolds and prove that it can be used to describe Mumford's pull-back of a differential form, and that its image is infinite-dimensional in many cases. However, making a certain assumption, we show that it is not always injective.
