The motion of tiny heavy particles transported in a co-rotating vortex pair, with or without particle inertia and sedimentation, is investigated. The dynamics of non-inertial sedimenting particles is shown to be chaotic, under the combined…
We study maps on the set of permutations of n generated by the R\'enyi-Foata map intertwined with other dihedral symmetries (of a permutation considered as a 0-1 matrix). Iterating these maps leads to dynamical systems that in some cases…
We investigate the dynamics of passive particles in a two-dimensional incompressible open flow composed of a fixed topographical point vortex and a background current with a periodic component. The tracer dynamics is found to be typically…
The unitarity of the 4D lattice theory of gravity in the case of the Minkowski signature is proved. The proof is valid only for lattices that conserve the number of degrees of freedom during time evolution. The Euclidean signature and the…
We show that real tight frames that generate lattices must be rational, and use this observation to describe a construction of lattices from vertex transitive graphs. In the case of irreducible group frames, we show that the corresponding…
We analyze perturbative aspects of gauged matrix models, including those where classically the gauge symmetry is partially broken. Ghost fields play a crucial role in the Feynman rules for these vacua. We use this formalism to elucidate the…
We propose an operatorially-exact formalism for describing the equilibrium and quantum-dynamical properties of many-electron systems interacting locally on a lattice, called "ghost rotationally-invariant slave-Boson theory" (g-RISB). We…
In 2021, J.~Agler and J.~E. McCarthy proposed a two-step programme toward the celebrated Krzy\.z conjecture. The first step is to prove an entropy conjecture for polynomials whose zeros all lie on the unit circle; the second is to establish…
We consider the minimizing problem for energy functionals with two types of competing particles and completely monotone potential on a lattice. We prove that the minima of sum of two completely monotone functions among lattices is located…
We study a simple lattice model with local symmetry, whose construction is based on a crossed module of finite groups. Its dynamical degrees of freedom are associated both to links and faces of a four-dimensional lattice. In special limits…
The purpose of this work is to analyze the flow due to a potential point vortex pair in the vicinity of a symmetry line (or "wall"), in order to understand why the presence of the wall, even far from the vortices, accelerates fluid mixing…
Lorentz lattice gases (LLGs) are discrete-time transport models in which a point particle moves ballistically between lattice sites and is scattered by randomly placed, quenched local scatterers such as ``rotators'' or ``mirrors.'' Despite…
It is commonly accepted that general relativity is the only solution to the consistency problem that appears when trying to build a theory of interacting gravitons (massless spin-2 particles). Padmanabhan's 2008 thought-provoking analysis…
Approximate lattices of locally compact groups were first studied in a seminal monograph of Yves Meyer and were subsequently used in the theory of aperiodic order to model objects such as Pisot numbers, quasi-cristals or aperiodic tilings.…
It has been shown recently that intermittency of the Gledzer Ohkitani Yamada (GOY) shell model of turbulence has to be related to singular structures whose dynamics in the inertial range includes interactions with a background of…
A lattice gauge theory with an action polynomial in independent field variables is considered. The link variables are described by unconstrained complex matrices instead of unitary ones. A mechanism which permits to switch off in the…
Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$. Given an infinite measure preserving action $T$ of $\Gamma$ and a "direction" in $G$ (i.e. an element $\theta$ of the projective space $P(\goth g)$ of the Lie algebra…
The antibracket in BRST theory is known to define a map $\rm{H^p \times H^q \longrightarrow H^{p+q+1}}$ associating with two equivalence classes of BRST invariant observables of respective ghost number p and q an equivalence class of BRST…
In this work we compute, at the "one-loop-dressed" level, the nonperturbative contribution of the ghost loops to the self-energy of the gluon propagator, in the Landau gauge. This is accomplished within the PT-BFM formalism, which…
The lattice definition of the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory [Fukuma, {\em et al}, Commun.~Math.~Phys.\ {\bf 161}, 157 (1994)] is generalized to arbitrary (not necessarily orientable) compact surfaces. It is shown that…
