One discusses a problem of asymptotical behavior for some operators in a general theory of pseudo differential equations on manifolds with borders. Using the distribution theory one obtains certain explicit representations for these…
We study the problem of semiclassical limit of Loop Quantum Gravity theory defined by the new spin foam models. This is done by analyzing the large-spin asymptotics of the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction. By using the stationary phase method we…
We study perturbation theory for spin foam models on triangulated manifolds. Starting with any model of this sort, we consider an arbitrary perturbation of the vertex amplitudes, and write the evolution operators of the perturbed model as…
We consider the on-shell amplitudes in N=(1,1) SYM in D=6 dimensions within the spinor helicity and on-shell superspace formalism. This leads to an effective and straightforward technique reducing the calculation to a set of scalar master…
Local flatness is a property shared by all the spin foam models. It ensures that the theory's fundamental building blocks are flat by requiring locally trivial parallel transport. In the context of simplicial Lorentzian spin foam theory, we…
We find asymptotical expansions as $\nu \to 0$ for integrals of the form $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} F(x) / \big(\omega(x)^2 + \nu^2\big)\, dx$, where sufficiently smooth functions $F$ and $\omega$ satisfy natural assumptions for their behaviour…
Asymptotic expansions are presented for the moments of bound states in one-dimensional anharmonic potentials. The results are derived by using the SAFE method and include only the first non-zero wave-related correction to the familiar…
Open string amplitudes at tree level have been studied for over fifty years, but there is no known analytic form for general $n$-point amplitudes, and their conventional representation in terms of worldsheet integrals does not make many of…
The goal of this paper is to develop methodology for the systematic analysis of asymptotic statistical properties of data driven DRO formulations based on their corresponding non-DRO counterparts. We illustrate our approach in various…
We formulate the spin foam representation of discrete SU(2) gauge theory as a product of vertex amplitudes each of which is the spin network generating function of the boundary graph dual to the vertex. In doing so the sums over spins have…
In this paper, we derive sharp asymptotics for the spectral data (eigenvalues and weight numbers) of the fourth-order linear differential equation with a distribution coefficient and three types of separated boundary conditions. Our methods…
We study the SL(2,C) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients appearing in the lorentzian EPRL spin foam amplitudes for loop quantum gravity. We show how the amplitudes decompose into SU(2) nj-symbols at the vertices and integrals over boosts at the…
We show that the Euclidean and Lorentzian EPRL vertex amplitudes of covariant Loop Quantum Gravity are related through a ``Wick rotation'' of the real Immirzi parameter to purely imaginary values. Our result follows from the simultaneous…
Discrete fine-scale models, in the form of either particle or lattice models, have been formulated successfully to simulate the behavior of quasi-brittle materials whose mechanical behavior is inherently connected to fracture processes…
I discuss how to impose causality on spin-foam models, separating forward and backward propagation, turning a given triangulation to a 'causal set', and giving asymptotically the exponential of the Regge action, not a cosine. I show the…
We consider asymptotic behavior of the following fourth order equation \[ \Delta^2 u= \rho \frac{e^{u}}{\int_\Om e^{u} dx} {in} \Om, u= \partial_\nu u=0 {on} \partial \Omega \] where $\Om$ is a smooth oriented bounded domain in $\R^4$.…
We investigate new boundary conditions in three-dimensional asymptotically Anti-de Sitter gravity coupled to higher-spin fields, allowing for arbitrary boundary degrees of freedom. This generalization gives rise to an enlarged algebra of…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a spectral problem for the Laplacian in a domain with rapidly oscillating boundary. We consider the case where the eigenvalue of the limit problem is multiple. We construct the leading…
We investigate the structure of branching asymptotics appearing in solutions to elliptic edge problems. The exponents in powers of the half-axis variable, logarithmic terms, and coefficients depend on the variables on the edge and may be…
We study limit shapes for dimer models on domains of the hexagonal lattice with free boundary conditions. This is equivalent to the large deviation phenomenon for a random stepped surface over domains fixed only at part of the boundary.
