We use random matrix theory for the Circular Unitary Ensemble (CUE) to study moments of derivatives of the Riemann zeta function shifted a small distance from the critical line. The corresponding CUE moments are studied in the limit of…
An infinite family of integrable vortex equations is studied and related to the Cartan geometry of the underlying Riemann surfaces. This Cartan picture gives an interpretation of the vortex equations as the flatness of a non-Abelian…
Let $\Omega$ be a Riemannian manifold with boundary. The time-optimal version of the BC-method determines the parameters in the $T$-neigh\-bor\-hood $\Omega^T$ of $\partial\Omega$ from the boundary observations (response operator) $R^{2T}$…
The purpose of this article is to address the issues of dimensional consistency that arise in the process of replacing the ordinary time derivative operator by a fractional derivative operator in order to write a fractional differential…
We introduce a spatially extended mathematical model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy based on a damage-driven paradigm, in which immune recruitment is triggered by tissue injury. The model is formulated as a reaction--diffusion--chemotaxis…
Metriplectic dynamical systems consist of a special combination of a Hamiltonian and a (generalized) entropy-gradient flow, such that the Hamiltonian is conserved and entropy is dissipated/produced (depending on a sign convention). It is…
We investigate the semiclassical regularity of thermal equilibria in the presence of a harmonic potential at low temperature; that is, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the Schatten norms of commutators of the one-body operators…
Organising the space of entanglement structures of a multipartite quantum system is a much more challenging task than its bipartite version: while the local unitary (LU) orbit of a bipartite pure state can be conveniently characterized by…
We construct the functional integral of Abelian Chern-Simons theory with toral gauge group $\mathbb T=\mathfrak t/\Lambda \cong U(1)^n$ at level $K$, where $K:\Lambda\times\Lambda\to\mathbb Z$ is an even, integral, nondegenerate symmetric…
We develop a renormalization group (RG)-based perturbation scheme for a class of ordinary differential equations, including first-order systems with semisimple or nilpotent linear parts, as well as scalar higher-order equations. The key…
In this work, we study the Anderson model on graphs with Ahlfors $\alpha$-regular volume growth. We show that, under mild regularity assumptions of the random distribution, Lifshitz-tail type estimates near the bottom of the spectrum lead…
This work is devoted to the study of the symmetries of (quasi)periodic architectured materials. For this purpose, the weaker symmetry criterion of indistinguishability is used. It relies on a statistical description of the mesostructure and…
This study provides an exact solution to Chandrasekhar's H function for isotropic scattering. The H function, which is governed by a nonlinear integral equation, plays a central role in radiative transfer theory. To facilitate the solution,…
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation of classical mechanics is approached as a model reduction of conservative particle mechanics where the velocity degrees-of-freedom are eliminated. This viewpoint allows an extension of the association of the…
This paper considers the family of Schr\"odinger operators on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ given by independent but not necessarily identically distributed and possibly unbounded potentials. We assume a finite exponential moment and allow the…
We consider the continuum limit of some products of random matrices in $\text{SL}(d,{\mathbb R})$ that arise as discretisations of incompressible renewing flows -- that is, of flows corresponding to a divergence-free velocity field that…
We give a rigorous mathematical result, supported by numerical simulations, of the aggregation of a concentrated vortex blob with an underlying non-constant vorticity field: the blob moves in the direction of the gradient of the field. It…
We initiate a novel application of the quantum inverse scattering method for the 20-vertex model, building upon seminal work from Faddeev and Takhtajan on the study of Hamiltonian systems. In comparison to a previous work of the author in…
We establish the linear instability of the semiclassical Einstein-Klein-Gordon system linearised about the Minkowski vacuum spacetime. The proof relies on formulating a forcing problem for both metric and state perturbations within the…
We construct toral Chern-Simons theory with gauge group $\mathbb T=\mathfrak t/\Lambda\cong U(1)^n$ from an even, integral, nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form $K:\Lambda\times\Lambda\to\mathbb Z$ by geometric quantization via real…
