We study continuous processes indexed by a special family of graphs. Processes indexed by vertices of graphs are known as probabilistic graphical models. Burdzy and Pal in their paper proposed a continuous version of graphical models --…

In this paper we show that the flat space Galilean theories with up to three scalars in the equation of motion (the quartic Galileons) are recovered in the decoupling limit of certain scalar theories non-minimally coupled to gravity, the…

The potential of the hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method has been recognized for the computation of stationary flows. Extending the method to time-dependent problems can, e.g., be done by backward difference formulae (BDF) or…

We generalize the submodel of nonlinear CP^1 models. The generalized models include higher order derivatives. For the systems of higher order equations, we construct a B\"acklund-like transformation of solutions and an infinite number of…

We explore the bulk-edge correspondence for topological insulators (superconductors) without time-reversal symmetry from the point of view of the index theorem for open spaces. We assume generic Hamiltonians not only with a linear…

Within the Schottky problem, the study of special subvarieties of the Torelli locus has long been of great interest. We describe a representation-theoretic criterion for a Jacobian variety arising from a $G$-Galois cover of $\mathbb{P}^1$…

Classical (maximal) superintegrable systems in $n$ dimensions are Hamiltonian systems with $2n-1$ independent constants of the motion, globally defined, the maximum number possible. They are very special because they can be solved…

We study the geometries generated by two-dimensional causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) coupled to $d$ massless scalar fields. Using methods similar to those used to study four-dimensional CDT we show that there exists a $c=1$ "barrier",…
