A Neural Network Framework for Geodesic-Like Curve Computation on Parametric Surfaces

arXiv:2606. 18759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The concept of geodesic-like curves was introduced by Chen in 2010 as a method for estimating shortest paths (geodesics) on parametric surfaces, with its convergence established theoretically.

Minimal surfaces, Knots, and Neural Networks

arXiv:2605. 26234v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A recent conjecture by Joel Fine posits a relationship between the coefficients of the HOMFLY polynomial of a knot $K$ in the 3-sphere $S^3$, and the signed count of minimal surfaces in hyperbolic 4-space $\mathrm{H}^4$ meeting the sphere at infinity at $K$, with prescribed genus and self-intersection number.

NeuralSRNF: Neural Square Root Normal Fields for the Statistical Shape Analysis and Generation of Nonrigid 3D and 4D Objects

NeuralSRNF is a new framework that enables efficient statistical shape analysis and generation of genus‑zero 3D and 4D objects undergoing nonrigid deformations. It replaces costly numerical SRNF inversion with a continuous, resolution‑agnostic neural representation that accurately reconstructs shapes and computes inverse SRNF maps in under 3 s, compared to over 10 min for traditional methods. Experiments on multiple datasets show that NeuralSRNF outperforms existing techniques in accuracy and speed across tasks such as geodesic computation, deformation transfer, statistical summarization, and shape generation.

Higher-Order Geometric Updates for Levenberg-Marquardt Method via Riemann Normal Coordinates

Nonlinear least-squares optimization is central to regression, physics-informed neural networks, and other machine-learning tasks. Such problems have a natural geometric interpretation, model predictions form a manifold in data space, while the chosen parameterization can introduce parameter-effects curvature that becomes a dominant source of nonlinearity.

Riemannian Deep Learning:Modules, Networks, and Geometries

arXiv:2607. 19305v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks on manifold-valued representations have attracted growing interest, but many basic components remain tied to specific manifolds, rely on Euclidean approximations, or require costly and numerically fragile geometric operations.
