The simplest toroidally compactified string theories exhibit a duality between large and small radii: compactification on a circle, for example, is invariant under R goes to 1/R. Compactification on more general Lorentzian lattices (i.e.…
We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of elasticae, unless the limit curve is a straight segment. As an application, we obtain smooth stability results for minimizers with respect to clamped boundary data.
Generalising an analysis of Corvino and Schoen, we study surjectivity properties of the constraint map in general relativity in a large class of weighted Sobolev spaces. As a corollary we prove several perturbation, gluing, and extension…
Inspired by the study of $V$-static manifold about classification, in this article, we apply the recent results obtained by Freitas and Gomes (Compact gradient Einstein-type manifolds with boundary, 2022) to prove the rigidity results for…
An arithmetic framework to string compactification is described. The approach is exemplified by formulating a strategy that allows to construct geometric compactifications from exactly solvable theories at $c=3$. It is shown that the…
We consider immersions admitting uniform representations as an L-Lipschitz graph. In codimension 1, we show compactness for such immersions for arbitrary fixed finite L and uniformly bounded volume. The same result is shown in arbitrary…
We construct six- and four-dimensional toroidal compactifications of the Type I string with magnetic flux on the D-branes. The open strings in this background probe a noncommutative internal geometry. Phenomenologically appealing features…
We study properties of programs with monotone and convex constraints. We extend to these formalisms concepts and results from normal logic programming. They include the notions of strong and uniform equivalence with their characterizations,…
The effective string describing the large distance behaviour of the quark sources of gauge field theories in the confining phase in D=3 or D=4 space-time dimensions can be formulated, in the infrared limit, as a suitable 2D conformal field…
The Regge trajectories, upon which string theory is based, behave as rigid rotators rather than vibrating strings. The same relation, between the angular momentum, and the square of the mass, can be found in gravity, the electroweak, and…
We develop a suitable generalization of Almgren's theory of varifolds in a lorentzian setting, focusing on area, first variation, rectifiability, compactness and closure issues. Motivated by the asymptotic behaviour of the scaled hyperbolic…
In this paper, two main results concerning uniformly continuous retractions are proved. First, an $\alpha$-H\"older retraction from any separable Banach space onto a compact convex subset whose closed linear span is the whole space is…
The present paper is concerned with Lipschitz properties of convex mappings. One considers the general context of mappings defined on an open convex subset $\Omega$ of a locally convex space $X$ and taking values in a locally convex space…
We demonstrate how recent developments in string field theory provide a framework to systematically study type II flux compactifications with non-trivial Ramond-Ramond profiles. We present an explicit example where physical observables can…
We prove generalized Gaffney inequalities and the discrete compactness for finite element differential forms on $s$-regular domains, including general Lipschitz domains. In computational electromagnetism, special cases of these results have…
String backgrounds, defined here as metric connections with skew-symmetric torsion and reduced holonomy, yield generalized Ricci solitons relative to the Lee vector field. By a variational argument using the string action, they are also…
In this paper we give log-convexity properties for solutions to discrete Schr\"odinger equations with different discrete versions of Gaussian decay at two different times. For free evolutions, we use complex analysis arguments to derive…
Owing to Lorentz invariance, the leading terms in the effective action describing the low-energy dynamics of flux tubes in a confining gauge theory are universal. Besides the terms corresponding to the Nambu-Goto action, Lorentz invariance…
We study the dynamics of an open membrane with a cylindrical topology, in the background of a constant three form, whose boundary is attached to p-branes. The boundary closed string is coupled to a two form potential to ensure gauge…
We introduce a new geometric characteristic of compact sets on the plane called $r$-convexity, which fits nicely into the concept of generalized convexity and extends essentially the conventional convexity. For a class of subharmonic…
