Estimation of mutual information via quantum kernel method

Recently, the importance of analysing data and collecting valuable insight efficiently has been increasing in various fields. Estimating mutual information (MI) plays a critical role to investigate the relationship among multiple random variables with a nonlinear correlation. Particularly, the task to determine whether they are independent or not is called the independence test, whose core subroutine is estimating MI from given data. It is a fundamental tool in statistics and data analysis that can be applied in a wide range of application such as hypothesis testing, causal discovery and more. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating mutual information using the quantum kernel. We investigate the performance under various problem settings, such as different sample size or the shape of the probability distribution. As a result, the quantum kernel method showed higher performance than the classical one under the situation that the number of samples is small, the variance is large or the variables posses highly non-linear relationships. We discuss this behavior in terms of the central limit theorem and the structure of the corresponding quantum reproducing kernel Hilbert space.

Irregular cusps of ball quotients

We study the branch divisors on the boundary of the canonical toroidal compactification of ball quotients. We show a criterion, the low slope cusp form trick, for proving that ball quotients are of general type. Moreover, we classify when irregular cusps exist in the case of the discriminant kernel and construct concrete examples for some arithmetic subgroups. As another direction of study, when a complex ball is embedded into a Hermitian symmetric domain of type IV, we determine when regular or irregular cusps map to regular or irregular cusps studied by Ma.

Fano Shimura varieties with mostly branched cusps

We prove that the Satake-Baily-Borel compactification of certain Shimura varieties are Fano varieties, Calabi-Yau varieties or have ample canonical divisors with mild singularities. We also prove some variants statements, give applications and discuss various examples including new ones, for instance, the moduli spaces of unpolarized (log) Enriques surfaces.

The singularities and Kodaira dimension of unitary Shimura varieties

The Kodaira dimension of Shimura varieties has been studied by many people. Kondo and Gritsenko-Hulek-Sankaran studied the singularities of orthogonal Shimura varieties related to the moduli spaces of polarized K3 surfaces. They proved that they have canonical singularities and are of general type if the polarization degree is sufficiently large. In this paper, we work on similar problems for unitary Shimura varieties. We show that they have canonical singularities if $n > 4$. As an application, we show that certain unitary Shimura varieties associated with Hermitian forms over the rings of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$, $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ are of general type. We use modular forms of low weight vanishing on ramification divisors, which are the restrictions of the quasi-pullbacks of the Borcherds form $Φ_{12}$.

Modularity of special cycles on unitary Shimura varieties over CM-fields

We study the modularity of the generating series of special cycles on unitary Shimura varieties over CM-fields of degree $2d$ associated with a Hermitian form in $n+1$ variables whose signature is $(n,1)$ at $e$ real places and $(n+1,0)$ at the remaining $d-e$ real places for $1\leq e 1$, we prove that the generating series of special cycles of codimension $er$ in the Chow group is a Hermitian modular form of weight $n+1$ and genus $r$, assuming the Beilinson-Bloch conjecture with respect to orthogonal Shimura varieties. Our result is a generalization of $\textit{Kudla's modularity conjecture}$, solved by Liu unconditionally when $e=1$.

The modularity of special cycles on orthogonal Shimura varieties over totally real fields under the Beilinson-Bloch conjecture

We study special cycles on a Shimura variety of orthogonal type over a totally real field of degree $d$ associated with a quadratic form in $n+2$ variables whose signature is $(n,2)$ at $e$ real places and $(n+2,0)$ at the remaining $d-e$ real places for $1\leq e <d$. Recently, these cycles were constructed by Kudla and Rosu-Yott and they proved that the generating series of special cycles in the cohomology group is a Hilbert-Siegel modular form of half integral weight. We prove that, assuming the Beilinson-Bloch conjecture on the injectivity of the higher Abel-Jacobi map, the generating series of special cycles of codimension $er$ in the Chow group is a Hilbert-Siegel modular form of genus $r$ and weight $1+n/2$. Our result is a generalization of \textit{Kudla's modularity conjecture}, solved by Yuan-Zhang-Zhang unconditionally when $e=1$.
