In this paper, we study the small-time global null controllability of the generalized Burgers' equations $y_t + \gamma |y|^{\gamma-1}y_x-y_{xx}=u(t)$ on the segment $[0,1]$. The scalar control $u(t)$ is uniform in space and plays a role…
Cosmological models that are locally consistent with general relativity and the standard model in which an object transported around the universe undergoes P, C and CP transformations, are constructed. This leads to generalization of the…
The Wegner $Z_2$ gauge theory-$Z_2$ Ising spin model duality in $(2+1)$ dimensions is revisited and derived through a series of canonical transformations. The Kramers-Wannier duality is similarly obtained. The Wegner $Z_2$ gauge-spin…
We examine SU(2) gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions at finite temperature in the vicinity of critical point. For various lattice sizes in time direction ($N_\tau=1,2,4,8$) we extract high precision values of the inverse critical coupling and…
We analyse a class of four-dimensional heterotic ground states with N=2 space-time supersymmetry. From the ten-dimensional perspective, such models can be viewed as compactifications on a six-dimensional manifold with SU(2) holonomy, which…
The global magnificent four theory is the homological version of a maximally supersymmetric $(8+1)$-dimensional gauge theory on a Calabi-Yau fourfold fibered over a circle. In the case of a toric fourfold we conjecture the formula for its…

We consider the extension of the general-linear and special-linear algebras by employing the Maxwell symmetry in $D$ space-time dimensions. We show how various Maxwell extensions of the ordinary space-time algebras can be obtained by a…
We construct several towers of scalar quantum field theories with an $O(N)$ symmetry which have higher derivative kinetic terms. The Lagrangians in each tower are connected by lying in the same universality class at the $d$-dimensional…
We construct a few parameter approximate fixed point action for SU(2) pure gauge theory and subject it to scaling tests, via Monte Carlo simulation. We measure the critical coupling for deconfinement for lattices of temporal extent $N_t=2$,…
We study how the global structure of rank-one 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric field theories is encoded into global aspects of the Seiberg-Witten elliptic fibration. Starting with the prototypical example of the $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ gauge…
Gribov copies of the vacuum in two dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge models are constructed. On the basis of this a gauge fixing algorithm is developped, wich finds the minimum of the sum of link field squares. Numerical experience in…
We prove that a metric measure space $(X,d,m)$ satisfying finite dimensional lower Ricci curvature bounds and whose Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$ is Hilbert is rectifiable. That is, a $RCD^*(K,N)$-space is rectifiable, and in particular for…
This article contains a characterization of when certain weighted Sobolev spaces on $\Bbb R^n$ embed compactly into $L^2(\mathbb R^n, \varphi)$. The characterization is in terms of derivatives of the weight function $\varphi$ and involves…

It is well known that standard gauge theories are renormalizable in D=4 while Einstein gravity is renormalizable in D=2. This is where the research in the field of two derivatives theories is currently standing. We hereby present a class of…
We prove that particle models whose action is given by the integrated $n$-th curvature function over the world line possess $n+1$ gauge invariances. A geometrical characterization of these symmetries is obtained via Frenet equations by…
We study N=1 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions with a large number of massless quarks. We argue that effective superpotentials as a function of local gauge-invariant chiral fields should exist for these theories. We show…
We investigate $\phi^{2n+1}$ deformations of the generalized free theory in the $\epsilon$ expansion, where the canonical kinetic term is generalized to a higher-derivative version. For $n=1$, we use the conformal multiplet recombination…
