Diffusion maps for changing data

Graph Laplacians and related nonlinear mappings into low dimensional spaces have been shown to be powerful tools for organizing high dimensional data. Here we consider a data set X in which the graph associated with it changes depending on some set of parameters. We analyze this type of data in terms of the diffusion distance and the corresponding diffusion map. As the data changes over the parameter space, the low dimensional embedding changes as well. We give a way to go between these embeddings, and furthermore, map them all into a common space, allowing one to track the evolution of X in its intrinsic geometry. A global diffusion distance is also defined, which gives a measure of the global behavior of the data over the parameter space. Approximation theorems in terms of randomly sampled data are presented, as are potential applications.Comment: 38 pages. 9 figures.

Open mirror symmetry for Pfaffian Calabi-Yau 3-folds

We investigate the open mirror symmetry of certain non-complete intersection Calabi- Yau 3-folds, so called pfaffian Calabi-Yau. We perform the prediction of the number of disk invariants of several examples by using the direct integration method proposed recently and the open mirror symmetry. We treat several pfaffian Calabi-Yau 3-folds in $\mathbb{P}^6$ and branes with two discrete vacua. Some models have the two special points in its moduli space, around both of which we can consider different A-model mirror partners. We compute disc invariants for both cases. This study is the first application of the open mirror symmetry to the compact non-complete intersections in toric variety.Comment: 64 pages; v2: typos corrected, minor changes, references added; v3: published version, minor corrections and improvement

Two-weight norm inequalities for potential type and maximal operators in a metric space

We characterize two-weight norm inequalities for potential type integral operators in terms of Sawyer-type testing conditions. Our result is stated in a space of homogeneous type with no additional geometric assumptions, such as group structure or non-empty annulus property, which appeared in earlier works on the subject. One of the new ingredients in the proof is the use of a finite collection of adjacent dyadic systems recently constructed by the author and T. Hyt\"onen. We further extend the previous Euclidean characterization of two-weight norm inequalities for fractional maximal functions into spaces of homogeneous type.Comment: 33 pages, v8 (some typos corrected; clarified the relationship between the different constants present in the several steps of the proof of the main result; Lemma 6.18 modified; examples of spaces and operators included; fixed some technical details; Definition 2.14 and Lemma 2.15 modified; Lemma 6.17 corrected; measures allowed with point masses; some imprecise arguments clarified
