We discuss a gauged $U(1)_R$ supergravity on five-dimensional orbifold ($S^1/Z_2$) in which a $Z_2$-even U(1) gauge field takes part in the $U(1)_R$ gauging, and show the structure of Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) terms allowed in such model. Some…

The notion of maximal extension of a globally hyperbolic space-time arises from the notion of maximal solutions of the Cauchy problem associated to the Einstein's equations of general relativity. In 1969 Choquet-Bruhat and Geroch proved…

In this paper we study approximations of functions of Sobolev spaces $W^2_{p,\loc}(\Omega)$, $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, by Lipschitz continuous functions. We prove that if $f\in W^2_{p,\loc}(\Omega)$, $1\leq p<\infty$, then there exists a…

We prove that any weak immersion in the critical Sobolev space $W^{\frac{n}{2}+1,2}(\mathbb{R}^n;\mathbb{R}^d)$ in even dimension $n\geq 4$, has global harmonic coordinates if its second fundamental form is small in the Sobolev space…

We calculate the critical amplitudes of the Polyakov loop and its susceptibility at the deconfinement transition of SU(2) gauge theory. To this end we carefully study the corrections to the scaling functions of the observables coming from…

In this paper, we develop the theory of Sobolev spaces on locally finite graphs, including completeness, reflexivity, separability, and Sobolev inequalities. Since there is no exact concept of dimension on graphs, classical methods that…

We consider the extension of the Standard electroweak Model through an $SU(2)$ quadruplet of scalars with hypercharge either $3/2$ or $1/2$ (with an additional reflection symmetry in the latter case). We establish, through $\textit{exact…

For an integer $n$ and the parameter $\gamma\in(0,n)$, the Riesz potential $I_\gamma$ is known to take boundedly $L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ into $L^{\frac{n}{n-\gamma},\infty}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, and also that the target space is the smallest possible…

We present a general prescription for determining the global U(1) symmetries of six-dimensional superconformal field theories (6D SCFTs). We use the quiver-like gauge theory description of the tensor branch to identify candidate U(1)…

Lorentz covariant generalisations of the notions of supersymmetry, superspace and self-duality are discussed. The essential idea is to extend standard constructions by allowing tangent vectors and coordinates which transform according to…

We study the physics of the Seiberg-Witten and Argyres-Faraggi-Klemm-Lerche-Theisen-Yankielowicz solutions of $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ and $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(N)$ supersymmetric gauge theory. The $\mathcal{N}=1$ theory is confining and its…

We show that the In\"{o}n\"{u}-Wigner contraction of $so(\ell+1,\ell+d)$ with the integer $\ell>1$ may lead to algebra which contains a variety of conformal extensions of the Galilei algebra as subalgebras. These extensions involve the…

We extend the results of Cachazo, Seiberg and Witten to N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with gauge groups SO(2N), SO(2N+1) and Sp(2N). By taking the superpotential which is an arbitrary polynomial of adjoint matter \Phi as a small…

We investigate conditions for the extendibility of continuous algebra homomorphisms $\phi$ from the Fourier algebra $A(F)$ of a locally compact group $F$ to the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ to maps between…

We show that F-theory compactifications with abelian gauge factors generally exhibit a non-trivial global gauge group structure. The geometric origin of this structure lies with the Shioda map of the Mordell--Weil generators. This results…

The aim of this work is to study the controllability of the bilinear Schr\"odinger equation on compact graphs. In particular, we consider the equation (BSE) $i\partial_t\psi=-\Delta\psi+u(t)B\psi$ in the Hilbert space…

Let $L_{q,\mu}$, $1\leq q\leq\infty$, denotes the weighted $L_q$ space of functions on the unit ball $\Bbb B^d$ with respect to weight $(1-\|x\|_2^2)^{\mu-\frac12},\,\mu\ge 0$, and let $W_{2,\mu}^r$ be the weighted Sobolev space on $\Bbb…

A missing piece is added to the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture. The spin model in the same universality class as the (2+1)d SU(4) theory, the 2d Ashkin-Teller model, has a line of continuously varying critical exponents. The exponents measured…

We construct the so far unknown Lagrangian of D=6, N=2 F(4) Supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets whose scalars span the coset manifold SO(4,n)/{SO(4) x SO(n)}. This is done first in the ungauged case and then…

Let g denote a real analytic function on an open subset U of Euclidean space, and let S denote the boundary points of U where g does not admit a local analytic extension. We show that if g is semialgebraic (respectively, globally…
