We study the spectrum of primordial fluctuations in theories where the inflaton field is coupled to massless fields and/or to itself. Conformally invariant theories generically predict a scale invariant spectrum. Scales entering the theory…
We investigate the ability of current CMB data to reliably constrain the form of the primordial power spectrum generated during inflation. We attempt to identify more exotic power spectra that yield equally good fits to the data as simple…
Recently we showed that the spectral flow acting on the N=2 twisted topological theories gives rise to a topological algebra automorphism. Here we point out that the untwisting of that automorphism leads to a spectral flow on the untwisted…
Studying various functionals and associated gradient ows are known problems in differential geometry. The perpose of this article is to provide a general overview of curvature functionals in Finsler geometry and use their information for…
The main purpose of this article is to alert spectroscopists, particularly those involved in surveys, to the fact that rapidly pulsating sources induce periodic structures in spectra. This would allow the detection of new classes of objects…
We introduce a framework for implementing quantum operations as steady states of a subsystem in an extended Hilbert space. Each operation has a spectral criterion for reaching the steady state. This adds a `spectral switch' mechanism to the…
We consider general (not necessarily Hamiltonian) first-order symmetric system $J y'-B(t)y=\D(t) f(t)$ on an interval $\cI=[a,b) $ with the regular endpoint $a$. A distribution matrix-valued function $\Si(s), \; s\in\bR,$ is called a…
This paper determines how to define a discretely implemented Fourier transform when analysing an observed spatial point process. To develop this transform we answer four questions; first what is the natural definition of a Fourier…
In this article we give a comprehensive treatment of a `Clifford module flow' along paths in the skew-adjoint Fredholm operators on a real Hilbert space that takes values in KO${}_{*}(\mathbb{R})$ via the Clifford index of…
The space of $(2,0)$ models is of particular interest among all heterotic-string models because it includes the models with the minimal $SO(10)$ unification structure, which is well motivated by the Standard Model of particle physics data.…
The work concerns the spectral, entropy and bifurcation analysis of the dynamics of a reverse-flow system. The existence of chaotic oscillations was demonstrated in a wide range of changes in the parameters of the model. The model of such a…
We study the eta-invariant, defined by Atiyah-Patodi-Singer a real valued invariant of an oriented odd-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a unitary representation of its fundamental group. When the representation varies…
We consider the running of the spectral index as a probe of both inflation itself, and of the overall evolution of the very early universe. Surveying a collection of simple single field inflationary models, we confirm that the magnitude of…
In classic graph signal processing, given a real-valued graph signal, its graph Fourier transform is typically defined as the series of inner products between the signal and each eigenvector of the graph Laplacian. Unfortunately, this…
We adapt the precise definition of the flowing effective action in order to obtain a functional flow equation with simple properties close to physical intuition. The simplified flow equation is invariant under local gauge transformations…
Both sampling a time-varying signal, and its spectral analysis are activities subjected to theoretically compelling, such as Shannon's theorem and the objectively limiting of the frequency's resolution. Usually, the signals' spectra are…
The global constraints on chaotic dynamics induced by the analyticity of smooth flows are used to dispense with individual periodic orbits and derive infinite families of exact sum rules for several simple dynamical systems. The associated…
We derive renormalised finite functional flow equations for quantum field theories in real and imaginary time that incorporate scale transformations of the renormalisation conditions, hence implementing a flowing renormalisation. The flows…
We present a spectral analysis for matrix scaling and operator scaling. We prove that if the input matrix or operator has a spectral gap, then a natural gradient flow has linear convergence. This implies that a simple gradient descent…
The spectra of parallel flows (that is, flows governed by first-order differential operators parallel to one direction) are investigated, on both $L^2$ spaces and weighted-$L^2$ spaces. As a consequence, an example of a flow admitting a…
