They showed that one could even arrange for the predictors to be robust with respect to simple time shifts, and asked whether they could be robust with respect to other, more complicated time distortions. This question was partially answered by Bajpai and Velleman, who provided upper and lower frontiers (in the subgroup lattice of \u0000$mathrm{Homeo}^+(mathbb {R})$\u0000 ) on how robust a predictor can possibly be. We improve both frontiers, some of which reduce ultimately to consequences of Hölder’s Theorem (that every Archimedean group is abelian).","PeriodicalId":55284,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Mathematics-Journal Canadien De Mathematiques","volume":"22 1","pages":"1493 - 1515"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79180227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To projections of links in the 3-ball, and to projections of surfaces in the 4-ball into the boundary sphere, we associate a sequence of homology groups, called the disoriented homology. We show that the disoriented homology is isomorphic to the homology of the double branched cover of the link or surface. We define a pairing on the first disoriented homology group of a surface and show that this is equal to the intersection pairing of the branched cover. These results generalize work of Gordon and Litherland, for embedded surfaces in the 3-sphere, to arbitrary surfaces in the 4-ball. We also give a generalization of the signature formula of Gordon-Litherland to the general setting. Our results are underpinned by a theorem describing a handle decomposition of the branched double cover of a codimension-2 submanifold in the $n$-ball, which generalizes previous results of Akbulut-Kirby and others.","PeriodicalId":55284,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Mathematics-Journal Canadien De Mathematiques","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82305400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our prior work (joint with Jiang, Olson, and Wei), we describe precise necessary and sufficient conditions for two dyadic systems on the real line to be adjacent. Here, we extend this work to all dimensions, which turns out to have many surprising difficulties due to the fact that \u0000$d+1$\u0000 , not \u0000$2^d$\u0000 , grids is the optimal number in an adjacent dyadic system in \u0000$mathbb {R}^d$\u0000 . As a byproduct, we show that a collection of \u0000$d+1$\u0000 dyadic systems in \u0000$mathbb {R}^d$\u0000 is adjacent if and only if the projection of any two of them onto any coordinate axis are adjacent on \u0000$mathbb {R}$\u0000 . The underlying geometric structures that arise in this higher-dimensional generalization are interesting objects themselves, ripe for future study; these lead us to a compact, geometric description of our main result.
