We continue the study of symmetries in the Lagrangian formalism of arbitrary order with the help of the so-called Anderson-Duchamp-Krupka equations. For the case of second-order equations and arbitrary vector fields we are able to establish…
We study the density of periodic configurations for shift spaces defined on (the Cayley graph of) a finitely generated group. We prove that in the case of a full shift on a residually finite group and in that of a group shift space on an…
Many-body systems relaxing to equilibrium can exhibit complex dynamics even if their steady state is trivial. At low temperatures or high densities their evolution is often dominated by steric hindrances affecting particle motion [1,2,3].…
In this paper we initiate the study of racks from the combined perspective of combinatorics and finite group theory. A rack R is a set with a self-distributive binary operation. We study the combinatorics of the partially ordered set {\cal…
We discuss the infinite dimensional algebras appearing in integrable perturbations of conformally invariant theories, with special emphasis in the structure of the consequent non-abelian infinite dimensional algebra generalizing $W_\infty$…
We characterize a closure of the set of dynamical-lexicographic orderings on $\mathrm{Homeo}_{+}{(\mathbb{R})}$ and prove the existence of orders outside of it.
By an $\ell$-group $G$ we mean a lattice-ordered abelian group. This paper is concerned with the category $\FP$ of finitely presented {\it unital} $\ell$-groups, those $\ell$-groups having a distinguished order-unit $u$. Using the duality…
A characterization is given of the subsets of a group that extend to the positive cone of a right order on the group and used to relate validity of equations in lattice-ordered groups (l-groups) to subsets of free groups that extend to…
In this paper we study, from a variational and geometrical point of view, second-order variational problems on Lie groupoids and the construction of variational integrators for optimal control problems. First, we develop variational…
We study the topology of orbits of dynamical systems defined by finite-dimensional representations of nilpotent Lie groups. Thus, the following dichotomy is established: either the interior of the set of regular points is dense in the…
We study groups of formal diffeomorphisms in several complex variables. For abelian, metabelian or nilpotent groups we investigate the existence of suitable formal vector fields and closed differential forms which exhibit an invariance…
Homeomorphisms of the Cantor set play a central role in topology, dynamical systems and descriptive set theory. In parallel, several classes of fence-like spaces - such as the hairy Cantor set, hairy arcs, Cantor bouquets in complex…
There is developed a differential-algebraic approach to studying the representations of commuting differentiations in functional differential rings under nonlinear differential constraints. An example of the differential ideal with the only…
We introduce a homology theory for subspace arrangements, and use it to extract a new system of numerical invariants from the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant of a group. We use these to characterize when the set of basis conjugating outer…
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in modelling and computation of physical systems with neural networks. Hamiltonian systems are an elegant and compact formalism in classical mechanics, where the dynamics is fully determined…
Active fluids, such as cytoskeletal filaments, bacterial colonies and epithelial cell layers, exhibit distinctive orientational coherence, often characterized by nematic order and topological defects. By contrast, little is known about…
The space of directions is a notion of boundary associated to an arbitrary totally disconnected locally compact group. We explicitly calculate the space of directions of a group acting vertex transitively with compact open vertex…
Covtree - a partial order on certain sets of finite, unlabeled causal sets - is a manifestly covariant framework for causal set dynamics. Here, as a first step in picking out a class of physically well-motivated covtree dynamics, we study…
Let $Homeo(\Omega)$ be the group of all homeomorphisms of a Cantor set $\Omega$. We study topological properties of $Homeo(\Omega)$ and its subsets with respect to the uniform $(\tau)$ and weak $(\tau_w)$ topologies. The classes of…
We study the category whose objects are graphs of fixed genus and whose morphisms are contractions. We show that the corresponding contravariant module categories are Noetherian and we study two families of modules over these categories.…
