What the math gives to ML
The paper supplies two explicit stability tools with potential use in geometric machine learning: a distance-weighted perimeter-excess inequality and an exact inverse-square Dirichlet spectral law for conical domains. The first can become a geometry-aware regularizer for networks predicting regions or decision sets, where ordinary pixelwise losses do not distinguish boundary displacements by geometric cost. The second suggests fixed, scale-compatible radial features for coordinate networks or neural operators, with Bessel zeros enforcing boundary-aware modes. These ideas are most relevant to segmentation, shape learning, and PDE surrogates rather than generic language models.

Add a distance-weighted disagreement penalty to a binary segmentation or implicit-shape network, using the ground-truth boundary as the reference cone or local conical approximation. The penalty emphasizes disagreements according to geometric displacement and scale rather than treating every misclassified pixel equally, while the paper's quadratic inequality supplies a calibration target relating boundary-energy excess to region disagreement.

Replace or augment ordinary radial positional features with Dirichlet Bessel eigenfunctions whose first zero exactly matches the domain boundary. This creates a scale-normalized basis aligned with the lowest Jacobi modes of a cone, potentially improving learning of fields or shapes with radial geometry and hard outer boundaries.
