We first introduce the class of quasi-algebraically stable meromorphic maps of $\P^k.$ This class is strictly larger than that of algebraically stable meromorphic self-maps of $\P^k.$ Then we prove that all maps in the new class enjoy a…
An optical equation for null strings is derived. The equation is similar to Sachs' optical equations for null geodesic congruences. The string optical equation is given in terms of a single complex scalar function $Z$, which is a…
In this note some properties of the sum of element orders of a finite abelian group are studied.
We construct a model for the string group as an infinite-dimensional Lie group. In a second step we extend this model by a contractible Lie group to a Lie 2-group model. To this end we need to establish some facts on the homotopy theory of…
We extend the structure of string topology from mapping spaces to embedding spaces $Emb(S^n,M)$. This extension comes from an action of the cleavage operad, a coloured $E_{n+1}$-operad. For all values of $n \in \mathbb{N}$, this gives an…
The solution term by term to the scattering of all consistent string theories is given. The moduli space of M-theory is derived and connects the various string theories. The solutions contain both the perturbative and non-perturbative…
We study the origin of non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetries in superstring theory. We classify all possible non-Abelian discrete flavor symmetries which can appear in heterotic orbifold models. These symmetries include D_4 and Delta(54).…
An algorithmic computation of the set of unpointed stable homotopy classes of equivariant fibrewise maps was described in a recent paper of the author and his collaborators. In the present paper, we describe a simplification of this…
Cosmological evolution of axionic strings is investigated by numerically solving field equations of a complex scalar field in 3+1 dimensions. It is shown that the global strings relax to the scaling solution with a significantly smaller…
A virtual string is a scheme of self-intersections of a closed curve on a surface. We study algebraic invariants of strings as well as two equivalence relations on the set of strings: homotopy and cobordism. We show that the homotopy…
The Addition Theorem for the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms of torsion abelian groups was proved in [4]. Later, this result was extended to all abelian groups [3] and, recently, to all torsion finitely quasihamiltonian groups [7].…
In this paper we study the description of the functional graphs associated with the power maps over finite groups. We present a structural result which describes the isomorphism class of these graphs for abelian groups and also for flower…
We introduce the concept of a prime band in a string algebra $\Lambda$ and use it to associate to $\Lambda$ its finite bridge quiver. Then we introduce a new technique of `recursive systems' for showing that a graph map between finite…
We discuss different formulations and approaches to string theory and $ 2d$ quantum gravity. The generic idea to get a unique description of {\it many} different string vacua altogether is demonstrated on the examples in $ 2d$ conformal,…
String graphs, that is, intersection graphs of curves in the plane, have been studied since the 1960s. We provide an expository presentation of several results, including very recent ones: some string graphs require an exponential number of…
We afford the problem of counting the blocks of a given length made with symbols drawn from an alphabet and relate this number to Fibonacci-like recurrent relations. The recurrence polynomia allows to calculate the limit ratio of two…
I review some recent work in which the quantum states of string theory which are associated with certain black holes have been identified and counted. For large black holes, the number of states turns out to be precisely the exponential of…
Examples of non-trivial higher string topology operations have been regrettably rare in the literature. In this paper, working in the context of string topology of classifying spaces, we provide explicit calculations of a wealth of…
We discuss functions from edges and vertices of an undirected graph to an Abelian group. Such functions, when the sum of their values along any cycle is zero, are called balanced labelings. The set of balanced labelings forms an Abelian…
Studied here is the effect of the presence of symmetry groups in a system of algebraic equations on the numerical resolution with fixed-point algorithms. It is proved that the symmetries imply two important properties of the system: the…
