Pseudo-Riemannian geodesic orbit nilmanifolds of signature $\boldsymbol{(n-2,2)}$

The geodesic orbit property is useful and interesting in itself, and it plays a key role in Riemannian geometry. It implies homogeneity and has important classes of Riemannian manifolds as special cases. Those classes include weakly symmetric Riemannian manifolds and naturally reductive Riemannian manifolds. The corresponding results for indefinite metric manifolds are much more delicate than in Riemannian signature, but in the last few years important corresponding structural results were proved for geodesic orbit Lorentz manifolds. Here we extend Riemannian and Lorentz results to trans-Lorentz nilmanifolds. Those are the geodesic orbit pseudo Riemannian manifolds $M = G/H$ of signature $(n-2,2)$ such that a nilpotent analytic subgroup of $G$ is transitive on $M$. For that we suppose that there is a reductive decomposition $\g = \h \oplus \n \text{ (vector space direct sum) with } [\h,\n] \subset \n$ and $\n$ nilpotent. When the metric is nondegenerate on $[\n,\n]$ we show that $\n$ is abelian or 2-step nilpotent. That is the same result as for geodesic orbit Riemannian and Lorentz nilmanifolds. When the metric is degenerate on $[\n,\n]$ we show that $\n$ is a double extension of a geodesic orbit nilmanifold of either Riemannian or Lorentz signature.

The moment map for the variety of Leibniz algebras

We consider the moment map $m:\mathbb{P}V_n\rightarrow \text{i}\mathfrak{u}(n)$ for the action of $\text{GL}(n)$ on $V_n=\otimes^{2}(\mathbb{C}^{n})^{*}\otimes\mathbb{C}^{n}$, and study the functional $F_n=\|m\|^{2}$ restricted to the projectivizations of the algebraic varieties of all $n$-dimensional Leibniz algebras $L_n$ and all $n$-dimensional symmetric Leibniz algebras $S_n$, respectively. Firstly, we give a description of the maxima and minima of the functional $F_n: L_n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, proving that they are actually attained at the symmetric Leibniz algebras. Then, for an arbitrary critical point $[μ]$ of $F_n: S_n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, we characterize the structure of $[μ]$ by virtue of the nonnegative rationality. Finally, we classify the critical points of $F_n: S_n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ for $n=2$, $3$, respectively.

The classification of $ω$-Lie algebras

Zusmanovich gave a fundamental result on the structure of $ω$-Lie algebras. But up to now, the classification of $ω$-Lie algebras is still open. In this paper, we give a complete classification of $ω$-Lie algebras over $\mathbb C$.

On the Geometric Orbit Property for Lorentz Manifolds

The geodesic orbit property has been studied intensively for Riemannian manifolds. Geodesic orbit spaces are homogeneous and allow simplifications of many structural questions using the Lie algebra of the isometry group. Weakly symmetric Riemannian manifolds are geodesic orbit spaces. Here we define "naturally reductive" for pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and note that they are geodesic orbit spaces. A few years ago two of the authors proved that weakly symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifolds are geodesic orbit spaces. In particular these results apply to pseudo-Riemannian Lorentz manifolds. There our main results are Theorems 4.2 and 5.1. In the Riemannian case the nilpotent isometry group for a geodesic orbit nilmanifold is abelian or $2$-step nilpotent. Examples show that this fails dramatically in the pseudo-Riemannian case. Here we concentrate on the geodesic orbit property for Lorentz nilmanifolds $G/H$ with $G = N \rtimes H$ and $N$ nilpotent. When the metric is nondegenerate on $[\mathfrak{n},\mathfrak{n}]$, Theorem 4.2 shows that $N$ either is at most $2$-step nilpotent as in the Riemannian situation, or is $4$-step nilpotent, but cannot be $3$-step nilpotent. Examples show that these bounds are the best possible. Surprisingly, Theorem 5.1 shows that $N$ is at most $2$-step nilpotent when the metric is degenerate on $[\mathfrak{n},\mathfrak{n}]$. Both theorems give additional structural information and specialize to naturally reductive and to weakly symmetric Lorentz nilmanifolds. Key Words: Geodesic Orbit Space; Lorentz nilmanifold; Weakly Symmetric Space; Naturally Reductive Space; Pseudo-Riemannian Manifold.

End-to-end Neural Video Coding Using a Compound Spatiotemporal Representation

Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in learnt video coding. Most algorithms have solely relied on the vector-based motion representation and resampling (e.g., optical flow based bilinear sampling) for exploiting the inter frame redundancy. In spite of the great success of adaptive kernel-based resampling (e.g., adaptive convolutions and deformable convolutions) in video prediction for uncompressed videos, integrating such approaches with rate-distortion optimization for inter frame coding has been less successful. Recognizing that each resampling solution offers unique advantages in regions with different motion and texture characteristics, we propose a hybrid motion compensation (HMC) method that adaptively combines the predictions generated by these two approaches. Specifically, we generate a compound spatiotemporal representation (CSTR) through a recurrent information aggregation (RIA) module using information from the current and multiple past frames. We further design a one-to-many decoder pipeline to generate multiple predictions from the CSTR, including vector-based resampling, adaptive kernel-based resampling, compensation mode selection maps and texture enhancements, and combines them adaptively to achieve more accurate inter prediction. Experiments show that our proposed inter coding system can provide better motion-compensated prediction and is more robust to occlusions and complex motions. Together with jointly trained intra coder and residual coder, the overall learnt hybrid coder yields the state-of-the-art coding efficiency in low-delay scenario, compared to the traditional H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC, as well as recently published learning-based methods, in terms of both PSNR and MS-SSIM metrics.

PDWN: Pyramid Deformable Warping Network for Video Interpolation

Video interpolation aims to generate a non-existent intermediate frame given the past and future frames. Many state-of-the-art methods achieve promising results by estimating the optical flow between the known frames and then generating the backward flows between the middle frame and the known frames. However, these methods usually suffer from the inaccuracy of estimated optical flows and require additional models or information to compensate for flow estimation errors. Following the recent development in using deformable convolution (DConv) for video interpolation, we propose a light but effective model, called Pyramid Deformable Warping Network (PDWN). PDWN uses a pyramid structure to generate DConv offsets of the unknown middle frame with respect to the known frames through coarse-to-fine successive refinements. Cost volumes between warped features are calculated at every pyramid level to help the offset inference. At the finest scale, the two warped frames are adaptively blended to generate the middle frame. Lastly, a context enhancement network further enhances the contextual detail of the final output. Ablation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the coarse-to-fine offset refinement, cost volumes, and DConv. Our method achieves better or on-par accuracy compared to state-of-the-art models on multiple datasets while the number of model parameters and the inference time are substantially less than previous models. Moreover, we present an extension of the proposed framework to use four input frames, which can achieve significant improvement over using only two input frames, with only a slight increase in the model size and inference time.

Weakly Symmetric Pseudo-Riemannian Nilmanifolds

In an earlier paper we developed the classification of weakly symmetric pseudo--riemannian manifolds $G/H$ where $G$ is a semisimple Lie group and $H$ is a reductive subgroup. We derived the classification from the cases where $G$ is compact. As a consequence we obtained the classification of semisimple weakly symmetric manifolds of Lorentz signature $(n-1,1)$ and trans--lorentzian signature $(n-2,2)$. Here we work out the classification of weakly symmetric pseudo--riemannian nilmanifolds $G/H$ from the classification for the case $G = N\rtimes H$ with $H$ compact and $N$ nilpotent. It turns out that there is a plethora of new examples that merit further study. Starting with that riemannian case, we see just when a given involutive automorphism of $H$ extends to an involutive automorphism of $G$, and we show that any two such extensions result in isometric pseudo--riemannian nilmanifolds. The results are tabulated in the last two sections of the paper.

Semisimple Weakly Symmetric Pseudo--Riemannian Manifolds

We develop the classification of weakly symmetric pseudo--riemannian manifolds $G/H$ where $G$ is a semisimple Lie group and $H$ is a reductive subgroup. We derive the classification from the cases where $G$ is compact, and then we discuss the (isotropy) representation of $H$ on the tangent space of $G/H$ and the signature of the invariant pseudo--riemannian metric. As a consequence we obtain the classification of semisimple weakly symmetric manifolds of Lorentz signature $(n-1,1)$ and trans--Lorentz (conformal Lorentz) signature $(n-2,2)$.

Invariant Einstein metrics on generalized Wallach spaces

Invariant Einstein metrics on generalized Wallach spaces have been classified except $SO(k+l+m)/SO(k)\times SO(l)\times SO(m)$. In this paper, we give a survey on the study of invariant Einstein metrics on generalized Wallach spaces, and prove that there are infinitely many spaces of the type $SO(k+l+m)/SO(k)\times SO(l)\times SO(m)$ admitting exactly two, three, or four Einstein invariant metrics up to a homothety.

Geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces with two isotropy summands. I

The paper is devoted to the study of geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces that could be characterize by the property that any geodesic is an orbit of a 1-parameter group of isometries. The main result is the classification of compact simply connected geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces $G/H$ with two irreducible submodules in the isotropy representation.

New Non-naturally reductive Einstein metrics on Exceptional simple Lie groups

In this article, we achieved several non-naturally reductive Einstein metrics on exceptional simple Lie groups, which are formed by the decomposition arising from general Wallach spaces. By using the decomposition corresponding to the two involutive automorphisms, we calculated the non-zero coefficients in the expression for the components of Ricci tensor with respect to the given metrics. The Einstein metrics are obtained as solutions of systems polynomial equations, which we manipulate by symbolic computations using Gröbner bases.
