We solve a problem posed by Cardinali and Sastry [2] about factorization of $2$-covers of finite classical generalized quadrangles. To that end, we develop a general theory of cover factorization for generalized quadrangles, and in…
These are notes from an informal mini-course on factorization homology, infinity-categories, and topological field theories. The target audience was imagined to be graduate students who are not homotopy theorists.
Starting with a general discussion, a program is sketched for a quantization based on dilations. This resolving-power quantization is simplest for scalar field theories. The hope is to find a way to relax the requirement of locality so that…
We show that the recent result of Casta\~neda and Wu about the ramification filtration in certain $p$-extensions of function fields of prime characteristic $p$ is equally valid over local fields of mixed characteristic $(0,p)$. Apart from…
A large class of two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ superconformal field theories can be understood as IR fixed-points of Landau-Ginzburg models. In particular, there are rational conformal field theories that also have a Landau-Ginzburg…
This is a survey of several exciting recent results in which techniques originating in the area known as additive combinatorics have been applied to give results in other areas, such as group theory, number theory and theoretical computer…
Factorization theorem plays the central role at high energy colliders to study standard model and beyond standard model physics. The proof of factorization theorem is given by Collins, Soper and Sterman to all orders in perturbation theory…
We present a new perspective on the weak approximation conjecture of Hassett and Tschinkel: formal sections of a rationally connected fibration over a curve can be approximated to arbitrary order by regular sections. The new approach…
We continue the rigorous study of classical effective field theories (EFTs) that was recently initiated in the work of Reall and Warnick [RW22]. We study a system with one light and one heavy field with cubic coupling and prove global…
In 2021, Marco Besier and the first author introduced the concept of rationalizability of square roots to simplify arguments of Feynman integrals. In this work, we generalize the definition of rationalizability to field extensions. We then…
The characteristics of a meaningful effective field theory (EFT) analysis are discussed and compared with traditional approaches to NN scattering. A key feature of an EFT treatment is a systematic expansion in powers of momentum, which is…
In this paper we address the problem of understanding the success of algorithms that organize patches according to graph-based metrics. Algorithms that analyze patches extracted from images or time series have led to state-of-the art…
A mathematically rigorous Hamiltonian formulation for classical and quantum field theories is given. New results include clarifications of the structure of linear fields, and a plausible formulation for nonlinear fields. Many mathematical…
We continue the program of extending the scattering equation framework by Cachazo, He and Yuan to a double-cover prescription. We discuss how to apply the double-cover formalism to effective field theories, with a special focus on the…
A review is given of the Peierls bracket formalism in field theory, and of a new, recent application of this concept to the analysis of dissipative systems.
Group field theories are a generalization of matrix models which provide both a second quantized reformulation of loop quantum gravity as well as generating functions for spin foam models. While states in canonical loop quantum gravity, in…
Let H be a connected reductive group defined over a non-archimedean local field F of characteristic p>0. Using Poincar\'e series, we globalize supercuspidal representations of H(F) in such a way that we have control over ramification at all…
We study a two-matrix toy model with a BFSS-like interaction term using the collective field formalism. The main technical simplification is obtained by gauge-fixing first, and integrating out the off-diagonal elements, before changing to…
We adapt an old local-to-global technique of Ore to compute, under certain mild assumptions, an integral basis of a number field without a previous factorization of the discriminant of the defining polynomial. In a first phase, the method…
This paper is concerned with the factorization method with a single far-field pattern to recover an arbitrary convex polygonal scatterer/source in linear elasticity. The approach also applies to the compressional (resp. shear) part of the…
