Allard's interior $\varepsilon$-Regularity Theorem in Alexandrov spaces

In this paper, we prove Allard's Interior $\varepsilon$-Regularity Theorem for $m$-dimensional varifolds with generalized mean curvature in $L^p_{loc}$, $p > m$, in non-collapsed Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded both from above and below. We first develop an intrinsic proof of the theorem for varifolds in Riemannian manifolds with metric tensor of class $\mathcal{C}^2$, without appealing to Nash's Isometric Embedding Theorem. This yields explicitly computable constants depending only on $m$, $n$, the double sided sectional curvature bounds, and the harmonic radius (or, equivalently, the injectivity radius). We then extend the result to Alexandrov spaces via the Approximation Theorem of Berestovskij and Nikolaev, where the explicit control of the constants in terms of the geometric data is required for the approximation argument.

Calculating the distance from an electronic wave function to the manifold of Slater determinants through the geometry of Grassmannians

The set of all electronic states that can be expressed as a single Slater determinant forms a submanifold, isomorphic to the Grassmannian, of the projective Hilbert space of wave functions. We explored this fact by using tools of Riemannian geometry of Grassmannians as described by Absil et. al [Acta App. Math. 80, 199 (2004)], to propose an algorithm that converges to a Slater determinant that is critical point of the overlap function with a correlated wave function. This algorithm can be applied to quantify the entanglement or correlation of a wave function. We show that this algorithm is equivalent to the Newton method using the standard parametrization of Slater determinants by orbital rotations, but it can be more efficiently implemented because the orbital basis used to express the correlated wave function is kept fixed throughout the iterations. We present the equations of this method for a general configuration interaction wave function and for a wave function with up to double excitations over a reference determinant. Applications of this algorithm to selected electronic systems are also presented and discussed.
