Suppose the usual description of spacetime as a 4-dimensional manifold with a Lorentzian metric breaks down at Planck energies. Can we still construct sensible theoretical models of the universe? Are they testable? Do they lead to a…

We study fermionic conformal field theories on surfaces with spin structure in the presence of boundaries, defects, and interfaces. We obtain the relevant crossing relations, taking particular care with parity signs and signs arising from…

Was paper 839 in the author's list until winter 2023 when it was divided into three. Part I: We would like to generalize imaginary elements, weight of ortp$(a,M,N), {\mathbf P}$-weight, ${\mathbf P}$-simple types, etc. from [She90, Ch.…

In the standard model, the weak scale is the only parameter with mass dimensions. This means that the standard model itself can not explain the origin of the weak scale. On the other hand, from the results of recent accelerator experiments,…

We establish a relationship between the equations that constitute the so-called good-bad-ugly model, whose nonlinearities are known to mimic those present in the Einstein field equations in generalized harmonic gauge. This relationship…

We prove the following two results. Theorem A: Let alpha be a limit ordinal. Suppose that 2^{|alpha|}<aleph_alpha and 2^{|alpha|^+}<aleph_{|alpha|^+}, whereas aleph_alpha^{|alpha|}>aleph_{|alpha|^+}. Then for all n< omega and for all…

We generalise the notions of good, middling good, and Verdier good morphisms of distinguished triangles in triangulated categories, first introduced by Neeman, to the setting of $n$-angulated categories, introduced in Geiss, Keller, and…

Copositive and completely positive matrices play an increasingly important role in Applied Mathematics, namely as a key concept for approximating NP-hard optimization problems. The cone of copositive matrices of a given order and the cone…

We introduce a mathematical framework for quantifying fine-tuning in general physical settings. In particular, we identify two distinct perspectives on fine-tuning, namely, a local and a global perspective --- and develop corresponding…

We study criteria for the existence of a dense or comeager conjugacy class in the automorphism group of a given measure on the Cantor space. We concentrate on good measures, defined by Akin [\emph{Trans.\ Amer.\ Math.\ Soc.} \textbf{357}…

The Hamiltonian description of classical gauge theories is a very well studied subject. The two best known approaches, namely the covariant and canonical Hamiltonian formalisms have received a lot of attention in the literature. However, a…

Shelah showed that the existence of free subsets over internally approachable subalgebras follows from the failure of the PCF conjecture on intervals of regular cardinals. We show that a stronger property called the Approachable Bounded…

The following work is an exploration into certain topics in the broad world of integrable models, both classical and quantum, and consists of two main parts of roughly equal length. The first part, consisting of chapters 1-3, concerns…

Semiparametric discrete choice models are widely used in a variety of practical applications. While these models are point identified in the presence of continuous covariates, they can become partially identified when covariates are…

The critical loci of a map $f:X\to Y$ between smooth schemes over a field $k$ are the locally closed subschemes $\Sigma^i(f)\subseteq X$ where the differential of $f$ has constant rank. We prove that if $f : X\to \mathbb A^r$ is the general…

Recently, there has been a wide interest in the study of aggregation equations and Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) models for chemotaxis with degenerate diffusion. The focus of this paper is the unification and generalization of the…

We discuss the practical problems arising when constructing any (new or old) scales on slide rules, i.e. realizing the theory in the practice. This might help anyone in planning and realizing (mainly the magnitude and labeling of) new…

Let a cluster be a term with a number of patterns occurring in it. We give two accounts of clusters, a geometric one as sets of (node and edge) positions, and an inductive one as pairs of terms with gaps (2nd order variables) and…

Motivated by the notion of nice graphs, we introduce the concept of strongly nice property, which can be used to study the Schur positivity of symmetric functions. We show that a graph and all its induced subgraphs are strongly nice if and…

In this paper we develop a general theory which provides a unified treatment of two apparently different problems. The weak Gibbs property of measures arising from the application of Renormalization Group maps and the mixing properties of…
