Configuration space of abelian gauge theory on a periodic lattice becomes topologically disconnected by excising exceptional gauge field configurations. It is possible to define a U(1) bundle from the nonexceptional link variables by a…
Differential calculus on Euclidean spaces has many generalisations. In particular, on a set $X$, a diffeological structure is given by maps from open subsets of Euclidean spaces to $X$, a differential structure is given by maps from $X$ to…
A differential form defined on a Riemannian manifold is said to harmonic if it is closed and co-closed. Harmonic differential forms are a natural multi-dimensional extension of the concept of analytic function of complex variable. In this…
We construct an algebra and a complex of multidifferential operators on tensor products of a Courant algebroid E with values in the endomorphism bundle of a smooth vector bundle B, predual of E, extending the standard complex of the…
For a topological space X, let (RX)s := (RX,Ts) be the cartesian product of |X| copies of the real line R with the topology of the uniform convergence on separable subsets of X. In this article we analyze the subspace C(X) of (RX)s of all…
One of the central problems in High T_{c} superconductivity is to reconcile the abundant evidence for stripe-like physics at `short' distances with the equally convincing evidence for BCS like physics at large distance scales (the `nodal…
A discretisation of differential geometry using the Whitney forms of algebraic topology is consistently extended via the introduction of a pairing on the space of chains. This pairing of chains enables us to give a definition of the…
We introduce an alternative formalization of curved spaces in which the concept of a pointwise affine space, as defined here, replaces that of a manifold. New or modified definitions of familiar notions from differential geometry such as…
We construct the Hamiltonian of the D=11 Supermembrane with topological conditions on configuration space. It may be interpreted as a supermembrane theory where all configurations are wrapped in an irreducible way on a calibrated…
We identify a class of smooth Banach *-algebras that are differential subalgebras of commutative C*-algebras whose openness of multiplication is completely determined by the topological stable rank of the target C*-algebra. We then show…
Given a compact Kaehler manifold, we consider the complement U of a divisor with normal crossings. We study the variety of unitary representations of the fundamental group of U with certain restrictions related to the divisor. We show that…
A family of locally equivalent models is considered. They can be taken as a generalization to $d+1$ dimensions of the Topological Massive and ``Self-dual'' models in 2+1 dimensions. The corresponding 3+1 models are analized in detail. It is…
Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces (BFSs) are topologically protected regions of zero energy excitations in a superconductor whose dimension equals that of the underlying normal state Fermi surface. Examples of Hamiltonians exhibiting this…
In this paper, we examine various types of ${\mathcal F}$-hypercyclic (${\mathcal F}$-topologically transitive) and disjoint ${\mathcal F}$-hypercyclic (disjoint ${\mathcal F}$-topologically transitive) properties of binary relations over…
A (meromorphic) quadratic differential is a (meromorphic) section of the tensor square of the canonical bundle of a Riemann surface. They arose in the study of quasiconformal mappings in the works of Oswald Teichm\"uller, and have played a…
In this paper a general theory of semi-classical matrix orthogonal polynomials is developed. We define the semi-classical linear functionals by means of a distributional equation $D(u A) = u B,$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrix polynomials.…
It has long been known that the differential operator $D$ represents a typical examples of unbounded operators in many Banach spaces including the classical Fock spaces, the Fock--Sobolev spaces, and the generalized Fock spaces where the…
Differential calculus on discrete spaces is studied in the manner of non-commutative geometry by representing the differential calculus by an operator algebra on a suitable Krein space. The discrete analogue of a (pseudo-)Riemannian metric…
Noncommutative U(N) gauge theories at different N may be often thought of as different sectors of a single theory. For instance, U(1) theory possesses a sequence of vacua labeled by an integer parameter N, and the theory in the vicinity of…
This is an introduction to the subject of the differential topology of the space of smooth loops in a finite dimensional manifold. It began as the background notes to a series of seminars given at NTNU and subsequently at Sheffield. I am…
