Abstract

The goal of this paper is to present invariants of planar point clouds, that is functions which take the same value before and after a linear transformation of a planar point cloud via a $2 \times 2$ invertible matrix. In the approach we adopt here, these invariants are functions of two variables derived from the least squares straight line of the planar point cloud under consideration. A linear transformation of a point cloud induces a nonlinear transformation of these variables. The said invariants are solutions to certain Partial Differential Equations, which are obtained by employing Lie theory. We find cloud invariants in the general case of a four$-$parameter transformation matrix, as well as, cloud invariants of various one$-$parameter sets of transformations which can be practically implemented. Case studies and simulations which verify our findings are also provided.

Geometric Duality Between Constraints and Gauge Fields: Mirror Realization and Reduction Geometry on Principal Bundles

A connection and a nonzero parallel adjoint field determine an invariant hyperplane constraint on a principal bundle. Its sign mirror preserves the hyperplane and reverses its coorientation; global gauge realization is controlled by a twisted stabilizer reduction. For regular fields we identify the normalizing gauge extension as a pushout of the torus-normalizer extension, giving exact lift orders and simultaneous-splitting criteria. In singular rank-two block families, reductions on a fixed trivial bundle form an affine second-Chern lattice whose Weyl stabilizers and finite-order lift spectra detect topology invisible to paired curvature. The reduction framework also determines the structure group and second cohomology of the matched-flag diagonalization space of Friedman and Park, and gives a first- and second-Chern criterion for normal matrices with fixed separated spectrum on four-complexes; every integral solution of their three-eigenline equation on $S^2\times S^2$ is realized. For moving reductions, the projected circle curvature differs from the ambient paired curvature by a covariant-derivative term. Full fatness on a closed four-manifold forces a nontrivial sign-mirror obstruction for every circle reduction; hyperbolic self-dual-form bundles also provide circle reductions in the $y$-fat setting of Florit and Ziller. Contact transgression, bundle automorphism twists, and the natural first-jet Spencer operator complete the geometric picture.

Ramanujan-Type Series of Signature 2: Analytical Evaluation via Degree-2 Transformations and Associated Harmonic Expansions

We provide an explicit analytical evaluation of the known rational Ramanujan-type series for the theory of signature 2. Focusing on the singular moduli $k_r$ for $r \in \{2, 3, 4, 7\}$, we demonstrate that the underlying elliptic identities can be established through modular transformations of degree 2. In particular, we showcase a family of rational harmonic Ramanujan-type series for $1/π$ involving higher-degree polynomials
