• Abstract: The relation between manifold topology, observables and gauge group is clarified on the basis of the classification of the representations of the algebra of observables associated to positions and displacements on the manifold. The guiding, physically motivated, principles are i) locality, i.e. the generating role of the algebras localized in small, topological trivial, regions, ii) diffeomorphism covariance, which guarantees the intrinsic character of the analysis, iii) the exclusion of additional local degrees of freedom with respect to the Schroedinger representation. The locally normal representations of the resulting observable algebra are classified by unitary representations of the fundamental group of the manifold, which actually generate an observable, "topological", subalgebra. The result is confronted with the standard approach based on the introduction of the universal covering ${\tilde{\cal M}}$ of $\cal{M}$ and on the decomposition of $L^2({\tilde{\cal M}})$ according to the spectrum of the fundamental group, which plays the role of a gauge group. It is shown that in this way one obtains all the representations of the observables iff the fundamental group is amenable. The implications on the observability of the Permutation Group in Particle Statistics are discussed.

• Relative Representations: Topological and Geometric Perspectives [53.88896255693922]
  Relative representations are an established approach to zero-shot model stitching. We introduce a normalization procedure in the relative transformation, resulting in invariance to non-isotropic rescalings and permutations. Second, we propose to deploy topological densification when fine-tuning relative representations, a topological regularization loss encouraging clustering within classes.

  We use our framework to reproduce the symmetry-based representations from the symmetry-based disentangled representation learning formalism. We then study the algebras of the transformations of worlds with features that occur in simple reinforcement learning scenarios. Using computational methods, that we developed, we extract the algebras of the transformations of these worlds and classify them according to their properties.

• Representing and Learning Functions Invariant Under Crystallographic Groups [18.6870237776672]
  Crystallographic groups describe the symmetries of crystals and other repetitive structures encountered in nature and the sciences. We derive linear and nonlinear representations of functions that are (1) smooth and (2) invariant under such a group. We show that such a basis exists for each crystallographic group, that it is orthonormal in the relevant $L$ space, and recover the standard Fourier basis as a special case for pure shift groups.

We show that other methods treating features as the Fourier coefficients in the stabilizer subgroup are special cases of our activation.

  We present a theory of localisation in quasiperiodic chains with nearest-neighbour hoppings, based on the convergence of local propagators. Analysing the convergence of these continued fractions, localisation or its absence can be determined, yielding in turn the critical points and mobility edges. Results are exemplified by analysing the theory for three quasiperiodic models covering a range of behaviour.
