We present a quantum mechanical model of spherical supermembranes. Using superfields to represent the cartesian coordinates of the membrane, we are able to exactly determine its supersymmetric vacua. We find there are two classical vacua,…

A persistence diagram is a finite multiset of birth-death pairs representing the lifetimes of topological features across a filtration. Persistence diagrams do not carry intrinsic spectral or kernel structures, so applications typically use…

We define holomorphic structures on canonical line bundles of the quantum projective space $\qp^{\ell}_q$ and identify their space of holomorphic sections. This determines the quantum homogeneous coordinate ring of the quantum projective…

Let M be a closed surface other than the sphere or projective plane. Goldberg defined a natural homomorphism from the n-stranded pure braid group of M to the n-fold product of the fundamental group of M and showed that the kernel of the…

Suppose that a Lie algebra $L$ admits a finite Frobenius group of automorphisms $FH$ with cyclic kernel $F$ and complement $H$ such that the characteristic of the ground field does not divide $|H|$. It is proved that if the subalgebra…

Semidefinite programming optimises a linear objective function over a spectrahedron, and is one of the major advances of mathematical optimisation. Spectrahedra are described by linear pencils, which are linear matrix polynomials with…

A new link between tetrahedra and the group SU(2) is pointed out: by associating to each face of a tetrahedron an irreducible unitary SU(2) representation and by imposing that the faces close, the concept of quantum tetrahedron is seen to…

We present an exact description of the metric on the moduli space of vacua and the spectrum of massive states for four dimensional N=2 supersymmetric SU(n) gauge theories. The moduli space of quantum vacua is identified with the moduli…

The uniform $\mathcal{F}_p$-isomorphism theorem of Quillen gives a comparison map between the Borel equivariant $\mathbf{Z}/p$-cohomology of a space and a limit involving only the Borel equivariant cohomology groups of the same space with…

A class of homogeneous isotropic space-time models including pseudo-Euclidean space as a special case is considered. Such a model is chosen, where the particle motion is described in the most adequate way. It means that the world tubes of…

We use mirror symmetry to establish the first concrete arena of spacetime topology change in string theory. In particular, we establish that the {\it quantum theories} based on certain nonlinear sigma models with topologically distinct…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a set of $k$ orientations in the plane, and let $P$ be a simple polygon in the plane. Given two points $p,q$ inside $P$, we say that $p$ $\mathcal{O}$-\emph{sees} $q$ if there is an $\mathcal{O}$-\emph{staircase}…

Four zero neutrino Yukawa textures in a specified weak basis, combined with $\mu\tau$ symmetry and type-I seesaw, yield a highly constrained and predictive scheme. Two alternately viable $3\times3$ light neutrino Majorana mass matrices…

Kernel-based learning algorithms are widely used in machine learning for problems that make use of the similarity between object pairs. Such algorithms first embed all data points into an alternative space, where the inner product between…

Symmetry is an important composition feature by investigating similar sides inside an image plane. It has a crucial effect to recognize man-made or nature objects within the universe. Recent symmetry detection approaches used a smoothing…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize a theorem of Segal from [Seg79] proving that the space of holomorphic maps from a Riemann surface to a complex projective space is homology equivalent to the corresponding space of continuous maps…

The twistor space of a Riemannian 4-manifold carries two almost complex structures, $J_+$ and $J_-$, and a natural closed 2-form $\omega$. This article studies limits of manifolds for which $\omega$ tames either $J_+$ or $J_-$. This amounts…

Let X be a compact (resp. compact and nonsingular) real algebraic variety and let Y be a homogeneous space for some linear real algebraic group. We prove that a continuous (resp. C^infinity) map f:X-->Y can be approximated by regular maps…

While the topology of the space of all smooth immersed curves on the $2$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ that start and end at given points in given directions is well known, it is an open problem to understand the homotopy type of its subspaces…

Vacuum stability in the Standard Model is problematic as the Higgs quartic self-coupling runs negative at a renormalization scale of about $10^{10}$ GeV. We consider a non-supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification model for which gauge…
