Yang-Mills theory has extended well beyond its original role in describing the strong force and now emerges as an effective theory in condensed matter, ultracold atomic, and photonic systems. In these systems, the theory has been successful…

We investigate the stability of four-dimensional dyonic soliton and black hole solutions of ${\mathfrak {su}}(2)$ Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in anti-de Sitter space. We prove that, in a neighbourhood of the embedded trivial…
The theory of Physical Structures (TPS) was put forward by Professor Yu.I. Kulakov for the sake of classifying the laws of Physics. The history of the development of that theory is given in his monograph [1]. A physical structure is a…
This survey is mostly concerned with unstable analogues of the Lichtenbaum-Quillen Conjecture. The Lichtenbaum-Quillen Conjecture (now implied by the Voevodsky-Rost Theorem) attempts to describe the algebraic K-theory of rings of integers…
In this paper, the stability of $\theta$-methods for delay differential equations is studied based on the test equation $y'(t)=-A y(t) + B y(t-\tau)$, where $\tau$ is a constant delay and $A$ is a positive definite matrix. It is mainly…
Quantum Field Theory (QFT) makes predictions by combining two sets of assumptions: (1) quantum dynamics, such as a Schrodinger or Liouville equation; (2) quantum measurement, such as stochastic collapse to an eigenfunction of a measurement…

Mathematical proofs are a cornerstone of control theory, and it is important to get them right. Deduction systems can help with this by mechanically checking the proofs. However, the structure and level of detail at which a proof is…
We investigate a two-dimensional transmission model consisting of a wave equation and a Kirchhoff plate equation with dynamical boundary controls under geometric conditions. The two equations are coupled through transmission conditions…
The well-posedness of the three dimensional Prandtl equation is an outstanding open problem due to the appearance of the secondary flow even though there are studies on analytic and Gevrey function spaces. This problem is raised as the…
There exists a small family of analytic SO(4)-invariant but time-dependent SU(2) Yang-Mills solutions in any conformally flat four-dimensional spacetime. These might play a role in early-universe cosmology for stabilizing the symmetric…
We point out that quantum field theories based on the concept of Clifford space and Clifford algebra valued-fields involve both positive and negative energies. This is a consequence of the indefinite signature (p,q) of the Clifford space.…
The linearization of semiclassical theories of gravity is investigated in a toy model, consisting of a quantum scalar field in interaction with a second classical scalar field which plays the role of a classical background. This toy model…
We consider the class of higher derivative field equations whose wave operator is a square of another self-adjoint operator of lower order. At the free level, the models of this class are shown to admit a two-parameter series of integrals…
We demonstrate that the problems of finding stable or metastable vacua in a low energy effective field theory requires solving nested NP-hard and co-NP-hard problems, while the problem of finding near-vacua is in P. Multiple problems…
We reinterpret the Faddeev-Popov gauge-fixing procedure of Yang-Mills theories as the definition of a topological quantum field theory for gauge group elements depending on a background connection. This has the advantage of relating…
We investigate the stability of plane wave solutions of equations describing quantum particles interacting with a complex environment. The models take the form of PDE systems with a non local (in space or in space and time) self-consistent…
The stability of dynamical systems against perturbations (variations in initial conditions/model parameters) is a property referred to as structural stability. The study of sensitivity to perturbation is essential because in experiment…
