The Union Closed Sets Conjecture states that in every finite, nontrivial set family closed under taking unions there is an element contained in at least half of all the sets of the family. We investigate two new directions with respect to…
We study the limiting shape of the connected components of the vacant set of two-dimensional Brownian random interlacements: we prove that the connected component around $x$ is close in distribution to a rescaled \emph{Brownian amoeba} in…
Exact solutions are reported for a stream of asymmetric bubbles steadily moving in a Hele-Shaw channel. From the periodicity along the streamwise direction, the flow region is reduced to a rectangular unit cell containing one bubble, which…
We study in a systematic and modular invariant way gaugino condensation in the hidden sector as a potential source of hierarchical supersymmetry breaking and a non--trivial potential for the dilaton $S$ whose real part corresponds to the…
For Euclidean pure point diffractive Delone sets of finite local complexity and with uniform patch frequencies it is well known that the patch counting entropy computed along the closed centred balls is zero. We consider such sets in the…
Some of the peculiar electrodynamical effects associated with gauged ``dimension bubbles'' are presented. Such bubbles, which effectively enclose a region of 5d spacetime, can arise from a 5d theory with a compact extra dimension. Bubbles…
The spontaneous breaking of an approximate discrete symmetry is considered, with the resulting protodomains of true and false vacuum being separated by domain walls. Given a strong, symmetric Yukawa coupling of the real scalar field to a…
The paper elucidates the relationship between the density of a Banach space and possible sizes of well-separated subsets of its unit sphere. For example, it is proved that for a large enough space $X$, the unit sphere $S_X$ always contains…
Motivated by the overwhelming evidence some type of quantum criticality underlies the power-law for the optical conductivity and $T-$linear resistivity in the cuprates, we demonstrate here how a scale-invariant or unparticle sector can lead…
We identify $m_{12}^2$ as a spurion of non-invertible Peccei-Quinn symmetry in the type II 2HDM with gauged quark flavor. Thus a UV theory which introduces quark color-flavor monopoles can naturally realize alignment without decoupling and…
We introduce a family of (nonlinear) pairing measures that ensure the validity of the divergence rule for composite functions $\boldsymbol{B}(x,u(x))$, where $\boldsymbol{B}(\cdot,t)$ is a bounded divergence-measure vector field, and $u$ is…
We present a unified numerical method to determine the shapes of multiple Hele-Shaw bubbles in steady motion, and in the absence of surface tension, in three planar domains: free space, the upper half-plane, and an infinite channel. Our…
Let $u$ be a harmonic function in a $C^1$ domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, which vanishes on an open subset of the boundary. In this note we study its critical set $\{x \in \overline{D}: \nabla u(x) = 0 \}$. When $D$ is a $C^{1,\alpha}$…
Dynamical supersymmetry breaking in a long-lived meta-stable vacuum is a phenomenologically viable possibility. This relatively unexplored avenue leads to many new models of dynamical supersymmetry breaking. Here, we present a surprisingly…
The observed hierarchy of fermion masses and mixings may be generated by renormalization group flow if the Standard Model is coupled to a near-conformal sector at high energies. If the conformal sector is supersymmetric, these effects are…
Let M be a compact smooth manifold of dimension n with or without boundary, and f : M $\rightarrow$ R be a smooth Gaussian random field. It is very natural to suppose that for a large positive real u, the random excursion set {f $\ge$ u} is…
For $d \in \{1,2,3\}$, let $(B^d_t;~ t \geq 0)$ be a $d$-dimensional standard Brownian motion. We study the $d$-Brownian span set $Span(d):=\{t-s;~ B^d_s=B^d_t~\mbox{for some}~0 \leq s \leq t\}$. We prove that almost surely the random set…
Turbulent flows laden with small bubbles are ubiquitous in many natural and industrial environments. From the point of view of numerical modeling, to be able to handle a very large number of small bubbles in direct numerical simulations,…
The two-dimensional Hubbard model is studied for small values of the interaction strength (U of the order of the hopping amplitude t), using a variational ansatz well suited for this regime. The wave function, a refined Gutzwiller ansatz,…
We study domain walls and vortices in chiral symmetry breaking in a QCD-like theory with N flavors in the chiral limit. If the axial anomaly is absent, there exist stable Abelian axial vortices winding around the spontaneously broken U(1)_A…
