The toric Hilbert scheme of a lattice L in Z^n is the multigraded Hilbert scheme parameterizing all ideals in k[x_1,...,x_n] with Hilbert function value one for every degree in the grading monoid N^n/L. In this paper we show that if L is…

As a difference with the positive-definite Riemannian case, in the Lorentzian case there exists proper second-order symmetric spacetimes, i.e., those with vanishing second covariant derivative of the Riemannian tensor…

An analogue of Brylinski's knot beta function is defined for a compactly supported (Schwartz) distribution $T$ on $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. This is a holomorphic function on a right half-plane. If $T$ is a (uniform) double-layer on a…

All beta-type functions, which are p-homogeneous, are determined. Applying this result, we show that a beta-type function is a homogeneous mean iff it is the harmonic one. A reformulation of a result due to Heuvers in terms of a Cauchy…

In some previous papers, a Legendre duality between Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics has been developed. The (\rho,\eta)-tangent application of the Legendre bundle morphism associated to a Lagrangian L or Hamiltonian H is presented.…

We prove that functions of locally bounded deformation on $\mathbb{R}^n$ are $\mathrm{L}^{n/(n-1)}$-differentiable almost everywhere. More generally, we show that this critical $\mathrm{L}^p$-differentiability result holds for functions of…

A translation-invariant gapped local Hamiltonian is in the trivial phase if it can be connected to a completely decoupled Hamiltonian with a smooth path of translation-invariant gapped local Hamiltonians. For the ground state of such a…

We propose various properties of renormalization group beta functions for vector operators in relativistic quantum field theories. We argue that they must satisfy compensated gauge invariance, orthogonality with respect to scalar beta…

We define a family of three related reducibilities, $\leq_T$, $\leq_{tt}$ and $\leq_m$, for arbitrary functions $f,g:X\rightarrow\mathbb R$, where $X$ is a compact separable metric space. The $\equiv_T$-equivalence classes mostly coincide…

For an integrable Hamiltonian $H_0=1/2\sum_{i=1}^dy_i^2$ $(d\geq 2)$, we show that any Lagrangian torus with a given unique rotation vector can be destructed by arbitrarily $C^{2d-\delta}$-small perturbations. In contrast with it, it has…

The real homology of a compact, n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M is naturally endowed with the stable norm. The stable norm of a homology class is the minimal Riemannian volume of its representatives. If M is orientable the stable norm…

In this paper we study differentiability properties of the map $T\mapsto\phi(T)$, where $\phi$ is a given function in the disk-algebra and $T$ ranges over the set of contractions on Hilbert space. We obtain sharp conditions (in terms of…

Let $(A,\Theta)$ be a complex principally polarized abelian variety of dimension $g\geq 4$. Based on vanishing theorems, differentiation techniques and intersection theory, we show that whenever the theta divisor $\Theta$ is irreducible,…

For a symmetric differential on the compact quotient $\Sigma = \mathbb{B}^n / \Gamma$ of the complex unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ by a discrete subgroup $\Gamma \subset \mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{B}^n)$, there exists a…

We write the relations that characterize the simpliest timed automaton, the inertial delay buffer, in two versions: the non-deterministic and the deterministic one, by making use of the derivatives of the R->{0,1} functions.

We construct examples of twice differentiable functions in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with continuous Laplacian and unbounded Hessian. The same construction is also applicable to higher order differentiability.

We prove that for every function $f:X\to Y$, where $X$ is a separable Banach space and $Y$ is a Banach space with RNP, there exists a set $A\in\tilde\mcA$ such that $f$ is Gateaux differentiable at all $x\in S(f)\setminus A$, where $S(f)$…

For $\alpha$ a positive irrational, let $\mathcal{A}_{\alpha}$ be the subalgebra of continuous functions on the two-torus whose Fourier transform vanishes at $(m, n)$ if $m + \alpha n < 0.$ These algebras were studied by Wermer and others,…

A differentiable function is pseudoconvex if and only if its restrictions over straight lines are pseudoconvex. A differentiable function depending on one variable, defined on some closed interval $[a,b]$ is pseudoconvex if and only if…

We perform a Hamiltonian analysis of a large class of scalar-tensor Lagrangians which depend quadratically on the second derivatives of a scalar field. By resorting to a convenient choice of dynamical variables, we show that the Hamiltonian…
