The spectral determinant $D(E)$ of the quartic oscillator is known to satisfy a functional equation. This is mapped onto the $A_3$-related $Y$-system emerging in the treatment of a certain perturbed conformal field theory, allowing us to…
We consider the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of one dimensional stochastic differential equations and Langevin equations in periodic backgrounds with zero average. We prove that in several such models, there is generically a non…
A global O$(2,2)$ symmetry is found in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravity when the dilaton is coupled to axion and moduli fields. The symmetry is broken if a cosmological constant is introduced. Within the class of spatially homogeneous…
The existence of stationary solutions to the Einstein-Vlasov system which are axially symmetric and have non-zero total angular momentum is shown. This provides mathematical models for rotating, general relativistic and asymptotically flat…
A quantum particle on a circle in a quadratic potential exhibits a spectrum that is not harmonic, despite having all algebraic properties of the quantum harmonic oscillator. This raises the question where the usual algebraic argument --…
In this work an observation concerning a positivity property of the quantum anharmonic oscillator is made. This positivity property is suggested by the BMV conjecture.
Strict mathematics reveals that the strict solution of a Vlasov-Maxwell equation set cannot be of a zero-temperature mathematical form. This universal property of Vlasov-Maxwell system can lead to a closed equation set of three macroscopic…
The nonrelativistic many-electron system in the forward, exchange and BCS approximation is considered. In this approximation, which is still quartic in the annihilation and creation operators, the model is explicitly solvable for arbitrary…
A BPHZ renormalized form for the master equation of the field antifiled (or BV) quantization has recently been proposed by De Jonghe, Paris and Troost. This framework was shown to be very powerful in calculating gauge anomalies. We show…
We provide brief answers to a number of recurring questions about the BMV effect and the related experimental proposal (Bose et al., 2017; Marletto and Vedral, 2017). Some of these questions include alleged counter-examples to our result,…
The recently introduced equivariant BV formalism is extended to the case of manifolds with boundary under appropriate conditions. AKSZ theories are presented as a practical example.
We consider a single Brownian particle in a spatially symmetric, periodic system far from thermal equilibrium. This setup can be readily realized experimentally. Upon application of an external static force F, the average particle velocity…
We classify all the first-order vertices of gravity consistently coupled to a system of 2-form gauge fields by computing the local BRST cohomology H(s|d) in ghost number 0 and form degree n. The consistent deformations are at most linear in…
One way to understand more about spacetime singularities is to construct solutions of the Einstein equations containing singularities with prescribed properties. The heuristic ideas of the BKL picture suggest that oscillatory singularities…
The general BRST-BFV analysis of anomaly in the string theory coupled to background fields is carried out. An exact equation for c-valued symbol of anomaly operator is found and structure of its solutions is studied.
Given a closed invariant set $\mathcal{C}$ of a dynamical system generated by a smooth vector field, $X$, for each $\lambda > 0$, we construct a control vector field, $X_{0}^{\lambda}$, such that the perturbed dynamics generated by the…
We obtain a complete solution for the mean-field dynamics of the BCS paired state with a large, but finite number of Cooper pairs in the non-adiabatic regime. We show that the problem reduces to a classical integrable Hamiltonian system and…
The classical and quantum dynamics of the noncanonically coupled oscillators is considered. It is shown that though the classical dynamics is well--defined for both harmonic and anharmonic oscillators, the quantum one is well--defined in…
We consider the analog in one spatial dimension of the Bose-Fermi transmutation for planar systems. A quantum mechanical system of a spin 1/2 particle coupled to an abelian gauge field, which is classically invariant under gauge…
We consider Vinberg $\theta$-groups associated to a cyclic quiver on $k$ nodes. Let $K$ be the product of the general linear groups associated to each node. Then $K$ acts naturally on $\oplus \text{Hom}(V_i, V_{i+1})$ and by Vinberg's…
