In this article, we construct matrices associated to Pachner $\frac{n-1}{2}$-$\frac{n-1}{2}$ moves for odd $n$ and matrices associated to Pachner $(\frac{n}{2}-1)$-$\frac{n}{2}$ moves for even $n$. The entries of these matrices are rational…
We introduce the equation of n-dimensional totally geodesic submanifolds of a manifold E as a submanifold of the second order jet space of n-dimensional submanifolds of E. Next we study the geometry of n-Grassmannian equivalent connections,…
We construct vast families of orthogonal operators obeying pentagon relation in a direct sum of three n-dimensional vector spaces. As a consequence, we obtain pentagon relations in Grassmann algebras, making a far reaching generalization of…
We propose that a simple, Lagrangian 2d $\mathcal{N}=(0, 2)$ duality interface between the 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ XYZ model and 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SQED can be associated to the simplest triangulated 4-manifold: the 4-simplex. We then begin to…
We interpolate the Gauss-Manin connection in p-adic families of nearly overconvergent modular forms. This gives a family of Maass-Shimura type differential operators from the space of nearly overconvergent modular forms of type r to the…
Dependence on the gauge parameters is an important issue in gauge theories: physical quantities have to be independent. Extending BRS transformations by variation of the gauge parameter into a Grassmann variable one can control gauge…
Hexagon relations are combinatorial or algebraic realizations of four-dimensional Pachner moves. We introduce some simple set-theoretic hexagon relations and then `quantize' them using what we call `polynomial hexagon cohomologies'. Based…
We obtain a combinatorial expression for the coefficients of the boundary map of real isotropic and odd orthogonal Grassmannians providing a natural generalization of the formulas already obtained for Lagrangian and maximal isotropic…
Almost para-quaternionic structures on smooth manifolds of dimension $2n$ are equivalent to almost Grassmannian structures of type $(2,n)$. We remind the equivalence and exhibit some interrelations between subjects that were previously…
We consider the asymptotic behaviour of the Gauss hypergeometric function when several of the parameters a, b, c are large. We indicate which cases are of interest for orthogonal polynomials (Jacobi, but also Krawtchouk, Meixner, etc.),…
We present a hierarchy of gauged Grassmanian models in $4p$ dimensions, where the gauge field takes its values in the $2^{2p- 1}\times 2^{2p-1}$ chiral representation of SO(4p). The actions of all these models are absolutely minimised by a…
We consider polygon and simplex equations, of which the simplest nontrivial examples are pentagon (5-gon) and Yang--Baxter (2-simplex), respectively. We examine the general structure of (2n+1)-gon and 2n-simplex equations in direct sums of…
We prove that the Grassmann graphs $J_2(2D+3,D)$, $D\geq 3$, are characterized by their intersection numbers, which settles one of the few remaining cases.
Hexagon relations are algebraic realizations of four-dimensional Pachner moves. `Constant' -- not depending on a 4-simplex in a triangulation of a 4-manifold -- hexagon relations are proposed, and their polynomial-valued cohomology is…
The Grassmann manifold of linear subspaces is important for the mathematical modelling of a multitude of applications, ranging from problems in machine learning, computer vision and image processing to low-rank matrix optimization problems,…
The superconformal index of a three-dimensional supersymmetric field theory can be expressed in terms of basic hypergeometric integrals. By comparing the indices of dual theories, one can find new integral identities for basic…
Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected three-dimensional Lie group (unimodular or non-unimodular) equipped with a left-invariant (Riemannian or Lorentzian) metric $g$. By definition, the isometry group $\mathrm{Isom}(G, g)$ contains $G$…
It is shown that a simple model of 2N-Grassmann variables with a four-body coupling involves caustics when the integral has been converted to a bosonic form with the aid of the auxiliary field. Approximation is then performed to assure…
In this article we discuss the interaction between the geometry of a quaternion-Kahler manifold M and that of the Grassmannian G(3,g) of oriented 3-dimensional subspaces of a compact Lie algebra g. This interplay is described mainly through…
We give a classification theorem for certain four-dimensional families of geometric $\lambda$-adic Galois representations attached to a pure motive. More precisely, we consider families attached to the cohomology of a smooth projective…
