We consider (0+1) and (1+1) dimensional Yukawa theory in various scalar field backgrounds, which are solving classical equations of motion: $\ddot{\phi}_{cl} = 0$ or $\Box \phi_{cl} = 0$, correspondingly. The (0+1)--dimensional theory we…
Let $T$ be a complete theory of fields, possibly with extra structure. Suppose that model-theoretic algebraic closure agrees with field-theoretic algebraic closure, or more generally that model-theoretic algebraic closure has the exchange…
Fields of spin $s \geq 1/2$ satisfying wave equations in a curved space obey the Huygens principle under certain conditions clarified by a known theorem. Here this theorem is generalized to spin zero and applied to an inflaton field in de…
We prove a Torelli-like theorem for higher-dimensional function fields, from the point of view of "almost-abelian" anabelian geometry.
Noncommutative three-dimensional gravity can be described in terms of a noncommutative Chern-Simons theory. We extend this structure and also propose an action for gravitational fields on an even dimensional noncommutative space. The action…
We present counterexamples to Fujita's conjecture in positive characteristics. Precisely, we show that over any algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ and for any positive integer $m$, there exists a smooth projective…
Kopparty and Wang studied in [3] the relation between the roots of a univariate polhynomial over GF(q) and the zero-nonzero pattern of its coefficients. We generalize their results to polynomials in more variables.
We explore the relationship between (non-planar) rooted trees and free trees, i.e. without root. We give in particular, for non-rooted trees, a substitute for the Lie bracket given by the antisymmetrization of the pre-Lie product.
Toy models of interacting Pomerons with triple and quaternary Pomeron vertices in zero transverse dimension are investigated. Numerical solutions for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the corresponding Hamiltonians are obtained, providing…
We study some consequences of dimensionally reducing systems with massless fermions and Abelian gauge fields from 3+1 to 2+1 dimensions. We first consider fermions in the presence of an external Abelian gauge field. In the reduced theory,…
We consider quantum field theory on a spacetime representing the Big Crunch/Big Bang transition postulated in the ekpyrotic or cyclic cosmologies. We show via several independent methods that an essentially unique matching rule holds…
Contrary to popular belief conformality does not require zero beta functions. This follows from the work of Jack and Osborn, and examples in non-supersymmetric theories were recently found by some of us. In this note we show that such…
The evolution of a closed NSR string is considered in the background of constant graviton and antisymmetric fields. The $\sigma$-model action is written in a manifestly supersymmetric form in terms of superfields. The first order formalism…
We investigate compactifications of M-theory from $11\to 5\to 4$ dimensions and discuss geometrical properties of 4-d moduli fields related to the structure of 5-d theory. We study supersymmetry breaking by compactification of the fifth…
We show that there exists a stably free module over a polynomial ring which is not extended from the ground ring. This provides a counterexample to the Hermite ring conjecture.
The paper presents a counterexample to the Hodge conjecture.
We present algorithms for computing zero-dimensional tropical varieties as implemented in OscarZerodimensionalTropicalization.jl. The algorithms include a mathematical workaround for a common practical issue arising when working with…
We describe quasi-Hopf twist deformations of flat closed string compactifications with non-geometric R-flux using a suitable cochain twist, and construct nonassociative deformations of fields and differential calculus. We report on our new…
We give necessary conditions and we give sufficient conditions for perfectoid Nullstellensatz to hold. As a consequence, we prove that perfectoid Nullstellensatz does not hold for $\mathbb{C}_p$ and other natural p-adic fields.
We construct a one dimensional, second countable, simply connected manifold that exhibits a single non Hausdorff fiber, sufficient to destroy the fundamental properties of classical covering space theory. The space, called the line with k…
