In finite volume the partition function of QCD with a given $\theta$ is a sum of different topological sectors with a weight primarily determined by the topological susceptibility. If a physical observable is evaluated only in a fixed…
We describe a procedure to construct infinite sets of pairwise smoothly inequivalent 2-spheres in simply connected 4-manifolds, which are topologically isotopic and whose complement has a prescribed fundamental group that satisfies some…

We consider a four-parameter family of non-Volterra operators defined on the two-dimensional simplex and show that, with one exception, each such operator has a unique fixed point. Depending on the parameters, we establish the type of this…
We investigate the structure of logarithmic modes in critical topologically massive gravity (CTMG) at the chiral point $\mu \ell=1$ from the perspective of analytic continuation and monodromy. Starting from the degeneration of massive and…

Based on the recent progress in the irregular Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, we study the monodromies at infinity of the holomorphic solutions of Fourier transforms of holonomic D-modules in some situations. Formulas for their eigenvalues…
In this thesis, we present results related to complementarity problems. We study the linear complementarity problems on extended second order cones. We convert a linear complementarity problem on an extended second order cone into a mixed…
We investigate monodromy groups arising in enumerative geometry, with a particular focus on how these groups are influenced by prescribed symmetries. To study these phenomena effectively, we work in the framework of moduli stacks rather…
We consider linear scalar wave equations with a hereditary integral term of the kind used to model viscoelastic solids. The kernel in this Volterra integral is a sum of decaying exponentials (The so-called Maxwell, or Zener model) and this…
The spherical reduction of the rational Calogero model (of type $A_{n-1}$ and after removing the center of mass) is considered as a maximally superintegrable quantum system, which describes a particle on the $(n{-}2)$-sphere subject to a…
We constrain the spectrum of two-dimensional unitary, compact conformal field theories with central charge c > 1 using modular bootstrap. Upper bounds on the gap in the dimension of primary operators of any spin, as well as in the dimension…
Spherically symmetric equilibrium configurations of perfect fluid obeying a polytropic equation of state are studied in spacetimes with a repulsive cosmological constant. The configurations are specified in terms of three parameters---the…
The divergence of curvature invariants at a given point signals the impossibility of extending the spacetime to that point, with the derivative order of these diverging invariants determining the differentiability class of the considered…
The monodromy conjecture is an umbrella term for several conjectured relationships between poles of zeta functions, monodromy eigenvalues and roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials in arithmetic geometry and singularity theory. Even the…
Extensions of standard one-dimensional supersymmetric quantum mechanics are discussed. Supercharges involving higher order derivatives are introduced leading to an algebra which incorporates a higher order polynomial in the Hamiltonian. We…
Various aspects of the four point function for scalar fields in conformally invariant theories are analysed. This depends on an arbitrary function of two conformal invariants u,v. A recurrence relation for the function corresponding to the…
In this paper we study a class of quadratic operators named by Volterra operators on infinite dimensional space. We prove that such operators have infinitely many fixed points and the set of Volterra operators forms a convex compact set. In…
We propose to build a combinatorial invariant, called the spectral monodromy, from the spectrum of a single non-selfadjoint h-pseudodifferential operator with two degrees of freedom in the semi-classical limit. Our inspiration comes from…
We revisit the line of non-unitary theories that interpolate between the Virasoro minimal models. Numerical bootstrap applications have brought about interest in the four-point function involving the scalar primary of lowest dimension.…
