Henry Theriault
No full textHenry C. Theriault is currently Professor in and Chair of the Philosophy Department at Worcester State University in the United States, where he has taught since 1998. From 1999 to 2007, he coordinated the University’s Center for the Study of Human Rights. He earned his B.A. in English from Princeton University and his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Massachusetts, with specializations in social and political as well as continental philosophy. Theriault’s expertise is in genocide and human rights studies, and his research focuses on reparations, victim-perpetrator relations, genocide denial, genocide prevention, and mass violence against women and girls. Since 2007, he has chaired the Armenian Genocide Reparations Study Group and is lead author of its March 2015 final report, Resolution with Justice. He has published numerous journal articles and chapters in the area of genocide studies.https://commons.erau.edu/genocide-bios/1057/thumbnail.jp
The homotopy type of the polyhedral product for shifted complexes
No full textWe prove a conjecture of Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen and Gitler: if K is a shifted simplicial complex on n vertices,X1,...,Xn are pointed connected CW-complexes and CXi is the cone on Xi, then the polyhedral product determined by K and the pairs (C Xi , Xi ) is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of suspensions of smashes of the Xi ’s. Earlier work of the authors dealt with the special case where each Xi is a loop space. New techniques are introduced to prove the general case. These have the advantage of simplifying the earlier results and of being sufficiently general to show that the conjecture holds for a substantially larger class of simplicial complexes. We discuss connections between polyhedral products and toric topology, combinatorics, and classical homotopy theory
Odd primary homotopy decompositions of gauge groups
No full textWe construct p–local decompositions of certain gauge groups when p is an odd prime. Specifically, we decompose SU(n), Sp(n) and Spin(n)–gauge groups over simply connected 4–manifolds and U(n)–gauge groups over compact, orientable Riemann surfaces, given certain restrictions on n that depend on p
Homotopy groups of highly connected Poincare Duality complexes
No full textMethods are developed to relate the action of a principal fibration to relative Whitehead products in order to determine the homotopy type of certain spaces. The methods are applied to thoroughly analyze the homotopy type of the based loops on certain cell attachments. Key examples are (n − 1)-connected Poincaré Duality complexes of dimension 2n or 2n + 1 with minor cohomological conditions.</p
Moment-angle manifolds and Panov's Problem
No full textWe answer a problem posed by Panov, which is to describe the relationship between the wedge summands in a homotopy decomposition of the moment-angle complex corresponding to a disjoint union of k points and the connected sum factors in a diffeomorphism decomposition of the moment-angle manifold corresponding to the simple polytope obtained by making k vertex cuts on a standard d-simplex. This establishes a bridge between two very different approaches to moment-angle manifolds
Dense Hopfield networks in the teacher-student setting
No full textDense Hopfield networks with p-body interactions are known for their feature to prototype transition and adversarial robustness. However, theoretical studies have been mostly concerned with their storage capacity. We derive the phase diagram of pattern retrieval in the teacher-student setting of p-body networks, finding ferromagnetic phases reminiscent of the prototype and feature learning regimes. On the Nishimori line, we find the critical amount of data necessary for pattern retrieval, and we show that the corresponding ferromagnetic transition coincides with the paramagnetic to spin-glass transition of p-body networks with random memories. Outside of the Nishimori line, we find that the student can tolerate extensive noise when it has a larger p than the teacher. We derive a formula for the adversarial robustness of such a student at zero temperature, corroborating the positive correlation between number of parameters and robustness in large neural networks. Our model also clarifies why the prototype phase of p-body networks is adversarially robust

Homotopy rigidity for quasitoric manifolds over a product of d-simplices
No full textFor a fixed integer d ≥ 1, we show that two quasitoric manifolds over a product of d-simplices are homotopy equivalent after appropriate localization, provided that their integral cohomology rings are isomorphic.<br/
