  text: 'Simplicial approximation provides a framework for constructing simplicial
    complexes that are homotopy equivalent to a given manifold, provided a CW structure
    is explicitly known. However, its conventional implementation quickly becomes
    intractable on a computer: barycentric subdivision produces poorly shaped simplices,
    and the star condition introduces many vertices. To address these limitations,
    this article develops a subdivision scheme based on spherical Delaunay triangulations,
    which attains better refinement properties than barycentric subdivisions. Moreover,
    the star condition is reframed as two independent problems, one geometric and
    the other combinatorial, respectively tackled in the language of locally equiconnected
    spaces and the list homomorphism problem, allowing an exponential reduction in
    the number of vertices. Via a prototype implementation, we obtain simplicial complexes
    homotopy equivalent to Grassmannians and Stiefel manifolds up to dimension 5.'

  text: We investigate a framework for train-free MRI segmentation based on Topological
    Data Analysis. The pipeline proceeds in three steps, first identifying the whole
    object to segment via automatic thresholding, then detecting a distinctive subset
    whose topology is known in advance, and finally deducing the various components
    of the segmentation. A key ingredient is the extraction of approximate representative
    cycles from persistence diagrams, which provides an interpretable link between
    persistent features and anatomical components. To clarify the method’s scope,
    we make the underlying topological and intensity assumptions explicit, quantify
    when they hold on real data, and analyze typical failure modes. We evaluate the
    approach on glioblastoma and on fetal cortical plate segmentation, with comparisons
    to unsupervised and deep-learning references. By operating without large annotated
    datasets, the method is well suited to scarce-data settings and provides an interpretable
    baseline and practical initialization for expert refinement or learning-based
    pipelines.

  text: 'Binding precedents (súmulas vinculantes) constitute a juridical instrument
    unique to the Brazilian legal system and whose objectives include the protection
    of the Federal Supreme Court against repetitive demands. Studies of the effectiveness
    of these instruments in decreasing the Court’s exposure to similar cases, however,
    indicate that they tend to fail in such a direction, with some of the binding
    precedents seemingly creating new demands. We empirically assess the legal impact
    of five binding precedents, 11, 14, 17, 26, and 37, at the highest Court level
    through their effects on the legal subjects they address. This analysis is only
    possible through the comparison of the Court’s ruling about the precedents’ themes
    before they are created, which means that these decisions should be detected through
    techniques of Similar Case Retrieval, which we tackle from the angle of Case Classification.
    The contributions of this article are therefore twofold: on the mathematical side,
    we compare the use of different methods of Natural Language Processing — TF-IDF,
    LSTM, Longformer, and regex — for Case Classification, whereas on the legal side,
    we contrast the inefficiency of these binding precedents with a set of hypotheses
    that may justify their repeated usage. We observe that the TF-IDF models performed
    slightly better than LSTM and Longformer when compared through common metrics;
    however, the deep learning models were able to detect certain important legal
    events that TF-IDF missed. On the legal side, we argue that the reasons for binding
    precedents to fail in responding to repetitive demand are heterogeneous and case-dependent,
    making it impossible to single out a specific cause. We identify five main hypotheses,
    which are found in different combinations in each of the precedents studied.'

  text: We suggest a new algorithm to estimate representations of compact Lie groups
    from finite samples of their orbits. Different from other reported techniques,
    our method allows the retrieval of the precise representation type as a direct
    sum of irreducible representations. Moreover, the knowledge of the representation
    type permits the reconstruction of its orbit, which is useful for identifying
    the Lie group that generates the action, from a finite list of candidates. Our
    algorithm is general for any compact Lie group, but only instantiations for SO(2),
    T^d, SU(2), and SO(3) are considered. Theoretical guarantees of robustness in
    terms of Hausdorff and Wasserstein distances are derived. Our tools are drawn
    from geometric measure theory, computational geometry, and optimization on matrix
    manifolds. The algorithm is tested for synthetic data up to dimension 32, as well
    as real-life applications in image analysis, harmonic analysis, density estimation,
    equivariant neural networks, chemical conformational spaces, and classical mechanics
    systems, achieving very accurate results.
