We discuss the discrete symmetries of the Stueckelberg-Schrodinger relativistic quantum theory and its associated 5D local gauge theory, a dynamical description of particle/antiparticle interactions, with monotonically increasing…
In the study of critical phenomena of QCD, a linear sigma model (LSM) is often analyzed as it shares many properties with QCD. Motivated by recent arguments on effective restoration of the U_A(1) symmetry around the critical temperature,…
We study (1+1)-dimensional non-linear sigma models whose target space is the flag manifold $U(N)\over U(N_1)\times U(N_2)\cdots U(N_m)$, with a specific focus on the special case $U(N)/U(1)^{N}$. These generalize the well-known…
An exact analytical derivation is presented, showing that the Ising model on the Cayley tree exhibits a line of third order phase transition points, between temperatures $T_2=2k_B^{-1}J\ln ({\sqrt 2}+1) $ and $T_{BP}=k_B^{-1}J\ln (3)$, and…
In this paper, we consider a family of seamlessly coupled nonlocal models associated with transmission conditions across an interface. The models are derived from the variation of a parameterized family of energies consisting of a…
A new nonlocal form of the off-shell kinetic equation is derived. While being equivalent to the Kadanoff--Baym and Botermans--Malfliet formulations in the range of formal applicability, it has certain advantages beyond this range. It…
In this note we consider inhomogeneous solutions of two-dimensional linear sigma model in the large $N$ limit. These solutions are similar to the ones found recently in two-dimensional $CP^N$ sigma model. The solution exists only for some…
This is the third of the series of articles on the large-$N$ two-dimensional $\mathbb{CP}^{N-1}$ sigma model, defined on a finite space interval $L$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here the cases of the general Dirichlet boundary…
In this work, we present novel general analytical solutions for the currents that are developed in the edges of network-like circuits when some nodes of the network act as sources/sinks of DC or AC current. We assume that Ohm's law is valid…
These lecture notes are on automorphism groups of Cayley graphs and their applications to optimal fault-tolerance of some interconnection networks. We first give an introduction to automorphisms of graphs and an introduction to Cayley…
Let $G$ be a finite group. For each $m>1$ we define the symmetric canonical subset $S=S(m)$ of the Cartesian power $G^m$ and we consider the family of Cayley graphs $\mathscr{G}_m(G)=Cay(G^m,S)$. We describe properties of these graphs and…
We review non-linear sigma-models with (2,1) and (2,2) supersymmetry. We focus on off-shell closure of the supersymmetry algebra and give a complete list of (2,2) superfields. We provide evidence to support the conjecture that all N=(2,2)…
This work concerns weakly confined particle systems in the plane, characterized by a large number of outliers away from a droplet where the bulk of the particles accumulate in the many-particle limit. We are interested in the asymptotic…
The paper concerns the $q$-state Potts model (i.e., with spin values in $\{1,\dots,q\}$) on a Cayley tree $\mathbb{T}^k$ of degree $k\geq 2$ (i.e., with $k+1$ edges emanating from each vertex) in an external (possibly random) field. We…
A mathematical model is identifiable if its parameters can be recovered from data. Here, we focus on a particular class of model, linear compartmental models, which are used to represent the transfer of substances in a system. We analyze…
We construct novel conformal sigma models in three dimensions. Nonlinear sigma models in three dimensions are nonrenormalizable in perturbation theory. We use Wilsonian renormalization group equation method to find the fixed points.…
