We study two-dimensional WZW models with target space a nonreductive Lie group. Such models exist whenever the Lie group possesses a bi-invariant metric. We show that such WZW models provide a lagrangian description of the nonreductive…
Inspired by the work of L. Drewnowski in [Studia Math. 77 (1984) 373--391], our research reveals new insights and characterizes the notion of spaceability in the context of complements of subspaces (not necessarily closed) within the…
It is an interesting, maybe surprising, fact that different dense subspaces of even "nice" topological spaces can have different densities. So, our aim here is to investigate the set of densities of all dense subspaces of a topological…
A set $A$ is dually Dedekind finite if every surjection from $A$ onto $A$ is injective; otherwise, $A$ is dually Dedekind infinite. An amorphous set is an infinite set that cannot be partitioned into two infinite subsets. A strictly…
We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…
Let \Sigma be a minimal submanifold of \R^{n+m} that can be represented as the graph of a smooth map f:\R^n-->\R^m. We apply a formula we derived in the study of mean curvature flow to obtain conditions under which \Sigma must be an affine…
A basic problem in the study of algebraic morphisms is to determine which sets can be realised as the image of an endomorphism of affine space. This paper extends the results previously obtained by the first author on the question of…
In this paper we present two different problems within the framework of shift-invariant theory. First, we develop a triangular form for shift-preserving operators acting on finitely generated shift-invariant spaces. In case of the normal…
We study generalizations of the non-invertible duality defects present in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ SU(N) SYM by studying theories with larger duality groups. We focus on 4d $\mathcal{N} = 2$ theories of class $\mathcal{S}$ obtained by the…
We consider Quantum Toda theory associated to a general Lie algebra. We prove that the conserved quantities in both conformal and affine Toda theories exhibit duality interchanging the Dynkin diagram and its dual, and inverting the coupling…
The goal of this chapter is to illustrate a generalization of the Fibonacci word to the case of 2-dimensional configurations on $\mathbb{Z}^2$. More precisely, we consider a particular subshift of $\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{Z}^2}$ on the…
The unitary $N = 2$ superconformal minimal models have a long history in string theory and mathematical physics, while their non-unitary (and logarithmic) cousins have recently attracted interest from mathematicians. Here, we give an…
This paper has the characteristics of a review paper in which results of shift-invariant subspaces of Sobolev type are summarized without proofs. The structure of shift-invariant spaces $V_s$, $s\in\mathbb{R}$, generated by at most…
We show that there is some absolute constant $c>0$, such that for any union-closed family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}$, if \mbox{$|\mathcal{F}| \geq (\frac{1}{2}-c)2^n$}, then there is some element $i \in [n]$ that appears in at least…
Duality transformations play a very important role in theoretical physics. In this paper I propose new duality transformations for fermionic theories. They map the strong coupling regime of one theory to the weak coupling regime of another…
We discuss a statistical variant of Ruzsa's covering lemma and use it to show that if G is an Abelian group of bounded exponent and A in G has |A+A| < K|A| then the subgroup generated by A has size at most exp(O(K log^22K))|A|, where the…
We propose an abelian categorification of $\hat{Z}$-invariants for Seifert $3$-manifolds. First, we give a recursive combinatorial derivation of these $\hat{Z}$-invariants using graphs with certain hypercubic structures. Next, we consider…
Weighted discrete Hilbert transforms $(a_n)_n \mapsto \sum_n a_n v_n/(z-\gamma_n)$ from $\ell^2_v$ to a weighted $L^2$ space are studied, with $\Gamma=(\gamma_n)$ a sequence of distinct points in the complex plane and $v=(v_n)$ a…
Let G be a finite abelian group. We examine the discrepancy between subspaces of l^2(G) which are diagonalized in the standard basis and subspaces which are diagonalized in the dual Fourier basis. The general principle is that a Fourier…
In this paper we consider the isoperimetric problem with double density in an Euclidean space, that is, we study the minimisation of the perimeter among subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with fixed volume, where volume and perimeter are relative to…
