We extend the work of Robinson and Turner to use hypothesis testing with persistence homology to test for measurable differences in shape between point clouds from three or more groups. Using samples of point clouds from three distinct groups, we conduct a large-scale simulation study to validate our proposed extension. We consider various combinations of groups, samples sizes and measurement errors in the simulation study, providing for each combination the percentage of p-values below an alpha-level of 0.05. Additionally, we apply our method to a Cardiotocography data set and find statistically significant evidence of measurable differences in shape between normal, suspect and pathologic health status groups.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 55N35, 62H15.
The Hermitian eigenvalue problem asks for the possible eigenvalues of a sum of Hermitian matrices given the eigenvalues of the summands. This is a problem about the Lie algebra of the maximal compact subgroup of G " SLpnq . There is a polyhedral cone (the "eigencone") determining the possible answers to the problem. These eigencones can be defined for arbitrary semisimple groups G, and also control the (suitably stabilized) problem of existence of non-zero invariants in tensor products of irreducible representations of G.We give a description of the extremal rays of the eigencones for arbitrary semisimple groups G by first observing that extremal rays lie on regular facets, and then classifying extremal rays on an arbitrary regular face. Explicit formulas are given for some extremal rays, which have an explicit geometric meaning as cycle classes of interesting loci, on an arbitrary regular face, and the remaining extremal rays on that face are understood by a geometric process we introduce, and explicate numerically, called induction from Levi subgroups. Several numerical examples are given. The main results, and methods, of this paper generalize [Bel17] which handled the case of G " SLpnq.
In this paper we examine the saturation conjecture on decompositions of tensor products of irreducible representations for complex semisimple algebraic groups of type D (the even spin groups: Spinp2nq for n ě 4 an integer), extending work done by Kumar-Kapovich-Millson on Spin(8). Our main theorem asserts that the saturation conjecture holds for Spin(10) and Spin (12): for all triples of dominants weights λ, µ, ν such that λ`µ`ν is in the root lattice, and for any N ą 0,. Some related results for groups of other types are listed as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
