Abstract:In this talk, I will discuss in detail the convergence result of the Gaussian mixture particle filters, in which each particle in the estimation system is regarded as a Gaussian distributed random variable, rather than a simple particle as in the classical particle filters. The convergence rate of the particle system will be given. The relationship between the Gaussian mixture particl...
Abstract: Non-abelian Hodge theory relates representations of the fundamental group of a compact Riemann surface X into a Lie group G with holomorphic objects on X known as Higgs bundles, introduced by Hitchin more than 35 years ago. Starting with the case in which G is the circle, and the 19th century Abel-Jacobi's theory, we will move to the case of G=SL(2,R) and the relation to Teichmüller t...
