{"title":"Spectral geometry and Riemannian manifold mesh approximations: some autocorrelation lessons from spatial statistics","authors":"Daniel A. Griffith","doi":"10.1080/17513472.2023.2275489","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17513472.2023.2275489","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractA spectral geometry utility awareness, with specific reference to isospectralisation and art painting analytics, is permeating the academy today, with special interest in its ability to foster interfaces between a range of analytical quantitative disciplines and art, exhibiting popularity in, for example, computer engineering/image processing and GIScience/spatial statistics, among other subject areas. This paper contributes to the emerging literature about such mathematized interdisciplinarities and synergies. It more specifically extends the matrix algebra based 2-D Graph Moranian operator that dominates spatial statistics/econometrics to the 3-D Riemannian manifold sphere whose analysis the general Graph Laplacian (i.e. Laplace-Beltrami) operator monopolizes today. One conclusion is that harmonizing the use of these two operators offers a way to expand knowledge and comprehension. Another is a continuing demonstration that the understanding and analysis of art sculptures dovetails with mathematics-art studies.KEYWORDS: Geary ratioMoran coefficientRiemannian manifoldspatial autocorrelationspectral geometry AcknowledgementsDaniel A.

In musicology, this approach has already been applied to the phenomenon of tonal attraction, leading to a deformation of the circle of fifths. The underlying gauge symmetry turns out as the SO(2) Lie group of a musical quantum model. Here, I present an alternative description in terms of Riemannian geometry. Its essential constraint of invariance of the infinitesimal line element leads to a deformation of the circle of fifths into a heart of fifths. In vision, the same approach is applied to Fraser's twisted cord illusion where concentric circles are deformed to squircle objects by means of an optical gauge field induced through a checkerboard background.

In this paper, we use symmetry to organize a library of quilting patterns using the Drunkard's Path quilt block. The organizational strategy begins by arranging the basic quilt blocks into squares that we call arrangements. We categorize these arrangements by symmetry type. We also act upon the arrangements by rotations, reflections, and colour exchanges, using the results to produce squares that we call tiles. These tiles are subsequently considered as tiles for quilt tops, thereby giving fodder for analysis of the underlying wallpaper symmetry groups and sometimes even two-colour symmetry patterns. Over 90 of the tiles are shown representing just a small number of the possible quilt patterns.
