Given a non-zero polynomial $P(x)$, we study Fuchsian differential operators of the form $L=\partial_x^2-u(x)$ such that for all $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ the operator $L+\lambda P(x)$ is monodromy free. We prove that all such operators are…

We study spaces of conformal blocks associated with line bundles over elliptic curves, with coefficients in a vertex algebra. For vertex algebras satisfying suitable finiteness and semisimplicity conditions, which are met by all admissible…

The term Gibbons conjecture is widely used in connection with symmetry results for the Allen-Cahn equation. However, its origin is less transparent than its frequent citation suggests. In this note, we revisit its emergence, tracing it to a…

We develop a graphical calculus for monoidal categories equipped with twisted pivotal structures, which are a generalization of pivotal structures originating from the study of orientation structures in the context of the Cobordism…

We study the geodesic flow on the unit cotangent bundle $M=S^{*}\mathcal{N}$ of a closed hyperbolic surface $\mathcal{N}$, using the representation theory of $SL_{2}(\mathbb{R})$. We construct explicit $X$-adapted Hilbert spaces, obtained…

In one of his posthumous papers, conserved in G\"ottingen, Riemann considers the derivatives of $\log\zeta(s)$ at the point $1/2$, giving explicit values for them. Around 2010 we shared Riemann's value of the second derivative with some…

In this paper, we develop a mixed quantization technique for graph vector bundles and apply it to several asymptotic spectral problems, including the Alon-Boppana bound, the Kesten-McKay law, asymptotic determinant, quantum ergodicity, zero…

We extend a property of Mazzola's theory of cadential sets in relation to the modulation between minor and major tonalities from triadic to tetradic harmony, using the PLRQ group of Cannas et al. (2017) as the analogue of the classical PLR…

In this paper, we explore the connections between Christiaan Huygens and Niels Henrik Abel through the tautochrone problem. The problem -- determining the curve along which a particle descends under gravity in the same time, regardless of…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain. For any $\epsilon\in (0,1)$ we show that for any Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_k(\Omega)>\Lambda(\epsilon,\Omega)$, it holds \begin{align*} k&\le…

We develop the theory of $\hbar$-vertex algebras, algebraic structures closely related to vertex algebras but with a deformed translation covariance axiom. We establish their structure theory, including analogues of Goddard's Uniqueness…

In this paper, we introduce and study shifted twisted quantum affine algebras which provide a twisted counterpart of the theory of shifted quantum affine algebras. The shifted twisted quantum affine algebra $\U_q^{\mu_+,\mu_-}(\hgs)$ is…

This work studies spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators in the context of aperiodic order, using weighted Delone sets to explore the interplay between the underlying dynamics and spectral properties. We study parameter-dependent…

The goal of this note is to show that the left $\chi$-coalgebra, which is an additional structure on one of the coefficients used in the construction of the cyclic operator for the cyclic sets that generalises the twisted nerve of a group…

In the spirit of the geometric approach to two-dimensional conformal field theory, we explicitly associate to every holomorphic vertex operator algebra a section of a power of Hodge line bundle on the moduli space of curves of arbitrary…

We develop a spectral cut-off construction of real-time oscillatory integrals associated with non-autonomous Hamiltonian evolution equations. Let \(H_0\) be a positive self-adjoint reference operator on a Hilbert space \(\Hilb\), and let…

It is well-known that the tensor product of two bialgebras constitutes the binary product in the category of cocommutative bialgebras and morphisms of bialgebras between them. In this paper, we extend this result to triangular bialgebras…

This article is devoted to analytic (in the sense of Boutet de Monvel-Sj\"ostrand) estimates in $\hbar$, of the Bohr-Sommerfeld expansion of the eigenvalues of self-adjoint pseudodifferential operators acting on $L^2(R)$ in the regular…

We prove convergence and compatibility of iterated bulk and boundary operator product expansions (OPEs) in two-dimensional conformal field theory with locally $C_1$-cofinite chiral symmetry. For each tree, we give an explicit domain of…

Doplicher and Roberts originally posed the problem of extending their duality theory for compact groups and field reconstruction to theories admitting braided symmetry. In this paper, we address this problem for the Wess-Zumino-Witten model…
