A conceptual framework for learning to listen by reward: Curiosity-driven search for novel sources

Reinforcement learning is a powerful learning paradigm that has spearheaded progress in numerous domains. Its core promise lies in learning through high-level goals without the need for granular labels. However, it still remains elusive in the realm of audio, where it has received substantially less attention than in computer vision or other domains. The key question remains: how can agents learn to listen purely via reward-driven exploration? In this contribution, we present an overview of previous attempts and a new conceptual framework for learning to listen by reward. Our approach depends on the continuous search for novel sound sources. We formulate our framework, discuss open technical challenges, and present a first proof-of-concept implementation that showcases the feasibility of our approach.

The moduli space of conically singular instantons over an SU(3)-manifold

In this article we study the moduli space of conically singular instantons (or Hermitian Yang--Mills connections) with prescribed tangent connections over a 6-manifold equipped with an $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structure. That is, we develop a Fredholm deformation theory for such $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-instantons in which we fix the tangent connection but allow the underlying principal bundle (and, in particular, the singular set) to vary. This leads to the existence of a Kuranishi structure for this moduli space. Moreover, we investigate the cokernel of the instanton deformation operator and give under certain assumptions a formula for its dimension. Ultimately, we apply our results to conically singular instantons with structure group $\mathbb{P}\mathrm{U}(n)$ and give a formula for the virtual dimension of their moduli space in terms of sheaf cohomology of certain vector bundles over $\mathbb{P}^2$.

Ricci-flat manifolds of generalized ALG asymptotics

In complex dimensions $\geq 3$, we provide a geometric existence for generalized ALG complete non-compact Ricci flat Kähler manifolds with Schwartz decay i.e. metric decay in any polynomial rate to an ALG model $\mathbb{C}\times Y$ modulo finite cyclic group action, where $Y$ is Calabi-Yau. Consequently, for any $K3$ surface with a purely non-symplectic automorphism $σ$ of finite order, a Kähler crepant resolution of the orbifold $\frac{\mathbb{C} \times K3}{\langle σ\rangle}$ admits ALG Ricci-flat Kähler metrics with Schwartz decay. It is known that Kähler crepant resolution exists in our case. Hence there are $39$ integers, such that $2π$ divided by each of them is the asymptotic angle of an ALG Ricci-flat Kähler $3-$fold with Schwartz decay. We also exhibit a 1638 parameters family of ALG Ricci-flat Kähler $3-$folds with asymptotic angle $π$ that realize $64$ distinct triples of Betti numbers. They are iso-trivially fibred by $K3$ surface with a non-symplectic Nikulin involution. A simple version of local Kunneth formula for $H^{1,1}$/local $i\partial\overline{\partial}-$lemma plays a role in both the Schwartz decay, and the construction of ansatz that equals a Ricci flat ALG model outside a compact set (isotrivial ansatz). The proof of Schwartz decay relies on a non-concentration of the Newtonian potential, and can not be immediately generalized to fibration with higher dimensional base, due to existence of concentrating sequence of $L^{2}$ normalized eigen-functions on unit round spheres of (real) dimension $\geq 2$.

On partial uniqueness of complete non-compact Ricci flat metrics

Using techniques for Caccioppoli inequality, on a fairly general class of complete non-compact Kähler manifolds with sub-quadratic volume growth, we show uniqueness of bounded $C^{1,1}$ solution to Monge-Ampere equation. This does not a priori require any decay of the solution.

Atiyah classes and the essential obstructions in deforming a singular $G_{2}-$instanton

When the rank of the bundle is $\geq 2$, in a certain sense, we found an essential obstruction for the gluing construction of $G_{2}-$instantons with $1-$dimensional singularities. It involves the Atiyah classes generated by contracting a vector in $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ with the curvature. Intuitively speaking, the gluing does not work if the tangent connection at a component of the $1-$dimensional singular locus is not the twisted Fubini-Study connection on a twisted tangent bundle of $\mathbb{P}^{2}$. Particularly, it fails if the rank of the bundle is $\geq 3$.

Moduli spaces of $G_{2}$ and $Spin(7)-$instantons on product manifolds

Let $X$ be a closed $6-$dimensional manifold with a half-closed $SU(3)-$structure. On the product manifold $X\times S^{1}$, with respect to the product $G_{2}-$structure and on a pullback vector bundle from $X$, we show that any $G_{2}-$instanton is equivalent to a Hermitian Yang-Mills connection on $X$ via a "broken gauge". This result reveals the topological type of the moduli of $G_{2}-$instantons on $X\times S^{1}$. In dimension $8$, similar result holds for moduli of $Spin(7)-$instantons. A generalization and an example are given.

Cohomogeneity-one $G_2$-Laplacian flow on 7-torus

We prove the hypersymplectic flow of simple type on standard torus $\mathbb{T}^4$ exists for all time and converges to the standard flat structure modulo diffeomorphisms. This result in particular gives the first example of a cohomogeneity-one $G_2$-Laplacian flow on a compact $7$-manifold which exists for all time and converges to a torsion-free $G_2$ structure modulo diffeomorphisms.

The spectrum of an operator associated with $G_{2}-$instantons with $1-$dimensional singularities and Hermitian Yang-Mills connections with isolated singularities

This is the first step in an attempt at a deformation theory for $G_{2}-$instantons with $1-$dimensional conic singularities. Under a set of model data, the linearization yields a self-adjoint first order elliptic operator $P$ on a certain bundle over $\mathbb{S}^{5}$. As a dimension reduction, the operator $P$ also arises from Hermitian Yang-Mills connections with isolated conic singularities on a Calabi-Yau $3$-fold. Using the Quaternion structure in the Sasakian geometry of $\mathbb{S}^{5}$, we describe the set of all eigenvalues of $P$ (denoted by $Spec P$). We show that $SpecP$ consists of finitely many integers induced by certain sheaf cohomologies on $\mathbb{P}^{2}$, and infinitely many real numbers induced by the spectrum of the rough Laplacian on the pullback endomorphism bundle over $\mathbb{S}^{5}$. The multiplicities and the form of an eigensection can be described fairly explicitly. Using the representation theory of $SU(3)$ and the subgroup $S[U(1)\times U(2)]$, we show an example in which $SpecP$ and the multiplicities can be completely determined.

An elliptic theory of indicial weights and applications to non-linear geometry problems

Given an elliptic operator $P$ on a non-compact manifold (with proper asymptotic conditions), there is a discrete set of numbers called indicial roots. It's known that $P$ is Fredholm between weighted Sobolev spaces if and only if the weight is not indicial. We show that an elliptic theory exists even when the weight is indicial. We also discuss some simple applications to Yang-Mills theory and minimal surfaces.

Smooth approximations of the Conical Kahler-Ricci flows

In this note, we show that the conical Kähler-Ricci flows introduced in \cite{CYW} exist for all time $t\in [0,\infty)$ in the weak sense. As a key ingredient of the proof, we show that a conical Kähler-Ricci flow is actually the limit of a sequence of smooth Kähler-Ricci flows.

Remarks on the Hölder-continuity of solutions to parabolic equations with conic singularities

This is a note on \cite{LSU} and \cite{FS}. Using their work line by line, we prove the Hölder-continuity of solutions to linear parabolic equations of mixed type, assuming the coefficient of $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ has time-derivative bounded from above. On a Kähler manifold, this Hölder estimate works when the metrics possess conic singularities along a normal crossing divisor.

Deformation of singular connections I: $G_{2}-$instantons with point singularities

In dimension 7, we establish a Fredholm theory for a Dirac-type operator associated to a connection with point singularities. There are two applications. $1$. over a closed 7-manifold, under some natural conditions, a $G_{2}-$instanton and its point singularities can still be "seen" when the $G_{2}-$structure is properly perturbed. $2$. over a ball in $\R^{7}$, for any almost-Euclidean $G_{2}-$structure, there exists a $G_{2}-$monopole asymptotic to an arbitrary Hermitian Yang-Mills connection on $S^{6}$.

On the regularity problem of complex Monge-Ampere equations with conical singularities

In the category of metrics with conical singularities along a smooth divisor with angle in $(0, 2π)$, we show that locally defined weak solutions ($C^{1,1}-$solutions) to the Kähler-Einstein equations actually possess maximum regularity, which means the metrics are actually Hölder continuous in the singular polar coordinates. This shows the weak Kähler-Einstein metrics constructed by Guenancia-Paun \cite{GP}, and independently by Yao \cite{GT}, are all actually strong-conical Kähler-Einstein metrics. The key step is to establish a Liouville-type theorem for weak-conical Kähler-Ricci flat metrics defined over $\C^{n}$, which depends on a Calderon-Zygmund theory in the conical setting.

On the long time behaviour of the Conical Kähler- Ricci flows

We prove that the conical Kähler-Ricci flows introduced in \cite{CYW} exist for all time $t\in [0,+\infty)$. These immortal flows possess maximal regularity in the conical category. As an application, we show if the twisted first Chern class $C_{1,β}$ is negative or zero, the corresponding conical Kähler-Ricci flows converge to Kähler-Einstein metrics with conical singularities exponentially fast. To establish these results, one of our key steps is to prove a Liouville type theorem for Kähler-Ricci flat metrics (which are defined over $\mathbb{C}^{n}$) with conical singularities.

On the Kähler-Ricci flows near the Mukai-Umemura 3-fold

In this short note, we show that given a special Kähler-Einstein degeneration with bounded geometry, for any noncentral fiber, there exists a Kähler-Ricci flow which converges to the Kähler-Einstein metric of the central fiber. As an example, Tian's deformations \cite{Tian97} of the Mukai 3-fold admit Kähler-Ricci flows which converge to Donaldson's Kähler-Einstein metric \cite{Don08} over the Mukai 3-fold.

Bessel Functions, Heat Kernel and the Conical Kähler-Ricci Flow

Following Donaldson's oppenness theorem on deforming a conical Kähler-Einstein metric, we prove a parabolic Schauder-type estimate with respect to conical metrics. As a corollary, we show that the conical Kähler-Ricci Flow exists for short time. The key is to establish the relevant heat kernel estimates, where we use the Weber's formula on Bessel function of the second kind and Carslaw's heat kernel representation in \cite{Car}.
