The group of local unitary transformations acts on the space of n-qubit pure states, decomposing it into orbits. In a previous paper we proved that a product of singlet states (together with an unentangled qubit for a system with an odd…

For the minimal O(N) sigma model, which is defined to be generated by the O(N) scalar auxiliary field alone, all n-point functions, till order 1/N included, can be expressed by elementary functions without logarithms. Consequently, the…

Motivated by questions in number theory, Myerson asked how small the sum of 5 complex nth roots of unity can be. We obtain a uniform bound of O(n^{-4/3}) by perturbing the vertices of a regular pentagon, improving to O(n^{-7/3}) infinitely…

We consider a nonnegative potential $W:\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ invariant under the action of the rotation group $C_N$ of the regular polygon with $N$ sides, $N\geq 3$. We assume that $W$ has $N$ nondegenerate zeros and prove the…

Given $n+1$ unit vectors in $\mathbf{R}^n$ or $\mathbf{C}^n,$ consider the absolute values of the determinants of the vectors taken $n$ at a time. By taking a geometric perspective, we show that the minimum of these determinants is…

Recent investigations suggest that the discrete linear unitary group $U(N)$ can be represented by interlacing a finite sequence of diagonal phase operations with an intervening unitary operator. However, despite rigorous numerical…

Quantum hamiltonian reduction is a fundamental tool of conformal field theory and vertex algebra representation theory. It has traditionally been applied to study highest-weight modules. On the other hand, inverse quantum hamiltonian…

We present a code to construct initial data for binary neutron star systems in which the stars are rotating. Our code, based on a formalism developed by Tichy, allows for arbitrary rotation axes of the neutron stars and is able to achieve…

A sharp bound on the number of invariant components of an interval exchange transformation is provided. More precisely, it is proved that the number of periodic components n_per and the number of minimal components n_min of an interval…

The short range repulsion between nucleons is treated by a unitary correlation operator which shifts the nucleons away from each other whenever their uncorrelated positions are within the replusive core. By formulating the correlation as a…

Let $n$ be a positive integer divisible by 8. The Clifford-cyclotomic gate set $\mathcal{G}_n$ consists of the Clifford gates, together with a $z$-rotation of order $n$. It is easy to show that, if a circuit over $\mathcal{G}_n$ represents…

We give a small generating set for the twist subgroup of the mapping class group of a non-orientable surface by Dehn twists. The difference between the number of the generators and a lower bound of numbers of generators for the twist…

We classify all subgroups of $SO(3)$ that are generated by two elements, each a rotation of finite order, about axes separated by an angle that is a rational multiple of $\pi$. In all cases we give a presentation of the subgroup. In most…

Let A be a matrix whose entries are real i.i.d. centered random variables with unit variance and suitable moment assumptions. Then the smallest singular value of A is of order n^{-1/2} with high probability. The lower estimate of this type…

Using the Jordan-Schwinger form of the quantum angular momentum eigenstates, it is straight-forward to define rotational correlation tables such that the columns are Molien sequences for finite rotational subgroup $G$. This realization…

A Kakutani-von Neumann map is the push-forward of the group rotation (Z_2,+1) to a unit simplex via an appropriate topological quotient. The usual quotient towards the unit interval is given by the base 2 expansion of real numbers, which in…
