The Zariski orbit closures of the representations of type-A Dynkin quivers under the action of general linear groups are related in deep ways to Schubert varieties. In this paper, we construct a scheme-theoretic isomorphism from a type-A quiver locus to the intersection of some opposite Schubert cell and Schubert variety, also known as a Kazhdan-Lusztig variety in geometric representation theory. This isomorphism is a generalization, and also an unification, of the Zelevinsky maps on equioriented type-A quiver loci and bipartite type-A quiver loci which are respectively presented by A. V. Zelevinsky in 1985 and by R. Kinser and J. Rajchgot in 2015. This result provides a more direct and natural connection between type-A quiver loci and Schubert varieties than prior similar work.

A priori error analysis and greedy training algorithms for neural networks solving PDEs.

We provide an a priori error analysis for methods solving PDEs using neural networks. We show that the resulting constrained optimization problem can be efficiently solved using greedy algorithms, which replaces stochastic gradient descent. Following this, we show that the error arising from discretizing the energy integrals is bounded both in the deterministic case, i.e. when using numerical quadrature, and also in the stochastic case, i.e. when sampling points to approximate the integrals. This innovative greedy algorithm is tested on several benchmark examples to confirm its efficiency and robustness.
