The Schroedinger eigenvalue problems for the Whittaker-Hill potential $Q_{2}(x)=\tfrac{1}{2} h^2\cos4x+4h\mu\cos2x$ and the periodic complex potential $Q_{1}(x)=\tfrac{1}{4}h^2{\rm e}^{-4ix}+2h^2\cos2x$ are studied using their realizations…

Let $P_h = \mathbb{F}_p[t_1,\dots,t_h]$ be the polynomial algebra over $\mathbb{F}_p$ ($p$ prime). We consider the hit problem: finding a minimal generating set for $P_h$ as a module over the mod $p$ Steenrod algebra $\mathscr{A}_p$, or…

Let $P_n$ be the graded polynomial algebra $\mathbb F_2[x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_n]$ with the degree of each generator $x_i$ being 1, where $\mathbb F_2$ denote the prime field of two elements. The Peterson hit problem is to find a minimal…

The goal of this article is to explain a precise sense in which Knoerrer periodicity in commutative algebra and Bott periodicity in topological K-theory are compatible phenomena. Along the way, we prove an 8-periodic version of Knoerrer…

The exact set of periodic points in $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ of the algebraic function $\widehat{F}(z)=(-1\pm \sqrt{1-z^4})/z^2$ is shown to consist of the coordinates of certain solutions $(x,y)=(\pi, \xi)$ of the Fermat equation…

This paper considers a class of non-local equations that are weakly dispersive perturbations of the inviscid Burgers equation, which includes the Fornberg-Whitham equation as a special case. We precise the known results on finite time…

We study a three-parameter family of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians, related via the ODE/IM correspondence to the Perk-Schultz models. We show that real eigenvalues merge and become complex at quadratic and cubic exceptional points, and explore…

The Problem of Time (PoT) is a multi-faceted conceptual incompatibility between various areas of Theoretical Physics. Whilst usually stated as between GR and QM, in fact 8/9ths of it is already present at the classical level. Thus we adopt…

We announce two breakthrough results concerning important questions in the Theory of Computational Complexity. In this expository paper, a systematic and comprehensive geometric characterization of the Subset Sum Problem is presented. We…

We are concerned with the dynamics of $N$ point vortices $z_1,\dots,z_N\in\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ in a planar domain. This is described by a Hamiltonian system \[ \Gamma_k\dot{z}_k(t)=J\nabla_{z_k} H\big(z(t)\big),\quad k=1,\dots,N, \]…

We use Bott periodicity to relate previously defined quantum classes to certain "exotic Chern classes" on $BU$. This provides an interesting computational and theoretical framework for some Gromov-Witten invariants connected with…

The spontaneous breaking of parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry yields rich critical behavior in non-Hermitian systems, and has stimulated much interest, albeit most previous studies were performed within the single-particle or mean-field…

We propose a renormalisable model based on $A_4$ family symmetry with an $SU(5)$ grand unified theory (GUT) which leads to the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with a two right-handed neutrino seesaw mechanism. Discrete…

This paper deals with periodic solutions of the Hamilton equation with many parameters. Theorems on global bifurcation of solutions with periods $2\pi/j,$ $j\in\mathbb{N},$ from a stationary point are proved. The Hessian matrix of the…
