Invariant Theory , Equivalence Problems , and the Calculus of Variations
This paper surveys some recent connections between classical invariant theory and the calculus of variations, stemming from the mathematical theory of elasticity. Particular problems to be treated include the equivalence problem for binary forms, covari-ants of biforms, canonical forms for quadratic variational problems, and the equivalence problem for particle Lagrangians. It is shown how thes...
متن کاملCoordinate-invariant Path Integral Methods in Conformal Field Theory
We present a coordinate-invariant approach, based on a Pauli-Villars measure, to the definition of the path integral in two-dimensional conformal field theory. We discuss some advantages of this approach compared to the operator formalism and alternative path integral approaches. We show that our path integral measure is invariant under conformal transformations and field reparametrizations, in...
متن کاملEta Invariant and Conformal Cobordism
In this note we study the problem of conformally flat structures bounding conformally flat structures and show that the eta invariants give obstructions. These lead us to the definition of an Abelian group, the conformal cobordism group, which classifies the conformally flat structures according to whether they bound conformally flat structures in a conformally invariant way. The eta invariant ...
متن کاملHodge Theory for Combinatorial Geometries
The matroid is called loopless if the empty subset of E is closed, and is called a combinatorial geometry if in addition all single element subsets of E are closed. A closed subset of E is called a flat of M, and every subset of E has a well-defined rank and corank in the poset of all flats of M. The notion of matroid played a fundamental role in graph theory, coding theory, combinatorial optim...
متن کاملConformal Flattening for Deformed Information Geometries on the Probability Simplex †
Recent progress of theories and applications regarding statistical models with generalized exponential functions in statistical science is giving an impact on the movement to deform the standard structure of information geometry. For this purpose, various representing functions are playing central roles. In this paper, we consider two important notions in information geometry, i.e., invariance ...
