A Comparison between Star Products on Regular Orbits of Compact Lie Groups

In this paper an algebraic star product and differential one defined on a regular coadjoint orbit of a compact semisimple group are compared. It is proven that there is an injective algebra homomorphism between the algebra of polynomials with the algebraic star product and the algebra of differential functions with the differential star product structure.Comment: AMS-LaTeX, 19 pages.

On algebraic supergroups, coadjoint orbits and their deformations

In this paper we study algebraic supergroups and their coadjoint orbits as affine algebraic supervarieties. We find an algebraic deformation quantization of them that can be related to the fuzzy spaces of non commutative geometry.Comment: 37 pages, AMS-LaTe

On the deformation quantization of affine algebraic varieties

We compute an explicit algebraic deformation quantization for an affine Poisson variety described by an ideal in a polynomial ring, and inheriting its Poisson structure from the ambient space.Comment: AMS-LaTeX, 20 page

The quantum chiral Minkowski and conformal superspaces

We give a quantum deformation of the chiral super Minkowski space in four dimensions as the big cell inside a quantum super Grassmannian. The quantization is performed in such way that the actions of the Poincar\'e and conformal quantum supergroups on the quantum Minkowski and quantum conformal superspaces are presented.Comment: 54 page

Quadratic deformation of Minkowski space

We present a deformation of the Minkowski space as embedded into the conformal space (in the formalism of twistors) based in the quantum versions of the corresponding kinematic groups. We compute explicitly the star product, whose Poisson bracket is quadratic. We show that the star product although defined on the polynomials can be extended differentiably. Finally we compute the Eucliden and Minkowskian real forms of the deformation.Comment: Presented at XVII European Workshop on String Theory 2011. Padova (Italy) September 05-09; Fortschr.

On chiral quantum superspaces

We give a quantum deformation of the chiral Minkowski superspace in 4 dimensions embedded as the big cell into the chiral conformal superspace. Both deformations are realized as quantum homogeneous superspaces: we deform the ring of regular functions together with a coaction of the corresponding quantum supergroup.Comment: 36 pages.

Thermodynamics modeling of deep learning systems for a temperature based filter pruning technique

We analyse the dynamics of convolutional filters' parameters of a convolutional neural networks during and after training, via a thermodynamic analogy which allows for a sound definition of temperature. We show that removing high temperature filters has a minor effect on the performance of the model, while removing low temperature filters influences majorly both accuracy and loss decay. This result could be exploited to implement a temperature-based pruning technique for the filters and to determine efficiently the crucial filters for an effective learning
