Addition formulas for theta functions of arbitrary order are shown and applied to the theoretical understanding of the fractional quantum Hall effect in a multi-layer two-dimensional many-electron system under periodic conditions.
We study the connectivity of the excursion sets of additive Gaussian fields, i.e.\ stationary centred Gaussian fields whose covariance function decomposes into a sum of terms that depend separately on the coordinates. Our main result is…
We prove a differential analog of a theorem of Chevalley on extending homomorphisms for rings with commuting derivations, generalizing a theorem of Kac. As a corollary, we establish that, under suitable hypotheses, the image of a…
We show that the new result on H\"older continuity of solutions to a class of nondiagonal elliptic systems with $p$-growth in [2] can be used to improve the $L^q$ theory for such systems.
We develop a field-theoretic description of large-scale structure formation by taking the non-relativistic limit of a canonically transformed, real scalar field which is minimally coupled to scalar gravitational perturbations in…
The geometrical structure is among the most fundamental ingredients in understanding complex systems. Is there any systematic approach in defining structures quantitatively, rather than illustratively? If yes, what are the basic principles…
Nonrelativistic scalar field theories can exhibit a natural cascading hierarchy of scales, protected by a hierarchy of polynomial shift symmetries. Using a simple model, we argue that a high-energy cross-over to such nonrelativistic…
We prove, under some mild hypothesis, that an \'etale cover of curves defined over a number field has infinitely many specializations into an everywhere unramified extension of number fields. This constitutes an "absolute" version of the…
We give an explicit construction of a large subset of F^n, where F is a finite field, that has small intersection with any affine variety of fixed dimension and bounded degree. Our construction generalizes a recent result of Dvir and Lovett…
In this note, we study non-transitive graphs and prove a number of results when they satisfy a coarse version of transitivity. Also, for each finitely generated group $G$, we produce continuum many pairwise non-quasi-isometric regular…
A gauge invariant formulation for the massive axion is considered. The axion acquires mass through a topological term which couples a (pseudo)scalar and a third rank antisymmetric tensor. Duality, local and canonical equivalences with the…
I describe the manifestation of the non-Euclidean geometry in the behavior of collective observables of some complex physical systems. Specifically, I consider the formation of equilibrium shapes of plants and statistics of sparse random…
We present a new construction of gradient-like vector fields in the setting of Morse theory on a complex analytic stratification. We prove that the ascending and descending sets for these vector fields possess cell decompositions satisfying…
The multilevel geometrically--covariant generalization of the field--antifield BV--formalism is suggested. The structure of quantum generating equations and hypergauge conditions is studied in details. The multilevel formalism is…
We introduce a new construction of towers of algebraic curves over finite fields and provide a simple example of an optimal tower.
Suppose that $K$ is a characteristic zero field with infinite transcendence degree over its prime subfield. We show that if there is a gt-henselian topology on $K$ then there are $2^{2^{|K|}}$ pairwise incomparable gt-henselian topologies…
In this paper, we derive tail approximations of integrals of exponential functions of Gaussian random fields with varying mean functions and approximations of the associated point processes. This study is motivated naturally by multiple…
We refine the notion of variety over the "field with one element" developed by C. Soul\'e by introducing a grading in the associated functor to the category of sets, and show that this notion becomes compatible with the geometric viewpoint…
We describe the geomety of a set of scalar fields coupled to gravity. We consider the formalism of a differential Z_2-graded algebra of $2\times 2$ matrices whose elements are differential forms on space-time. The connection and the…
Let $X(t), t\in \mathcal{T}$ be a centered Gaussian random field with variance function $\sigma^2(\cdot)$ that attains its maximum at the unique point $t_0\in \mathcal{T}$, and let $M(\mathcal{T}):=\sup_{t\in \mathcal{T}} X(t)$. For…
