We consider a singularly perturbed fourth-order problem with third-order terms on the unit square. With a formal power series approach, we decompose the solution into solutions of reduced (third-order) problems and various layer parts. The…
I review recent progress in perturbative QCD on two fronts: extending next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to a broader range of collider processes, and applying twistor-space methods (and related spinoffs) to computations of…
Quintessence issues can be achieved by taking into account higher order curvature invariants into the effective action of gravitational field. Such an approach is naturally related to fundamental theories of quantum gravity which predict…
These lectures introduce some of the basic methods of perturbative QCD and their applications to phenomenology at high energy. Emphasis is given to techniques that are used to study QCD and related field theories to all orders in…
In this article we present explicit formulae for q-differentiation on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e., q-deformed Minkowski space and q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions. The…
A brief history of the investigation of the Weil-Petersson curvature and a summary of Teichm\"{u}ller theory are provided. A report is presented on the program to describe an intrinsic geometry with the Weil-Petersson metric and…
I review some of the things we have learned about large N gauge theories (and QCD at N=oo) from lattice calculations in recent years. I point to some open problems.
For Einstein four-manifolds with positive scalar curvature, we derive relations among various positivity conditions on the curvature tensor, some of which are of great importance in the study of the Ricci flow. These relations suggest…
The functions on a lattice generated by the integer degrees of $q^2$ are considered, 0<q<1. The $q^2$-translation operator is defined. The multiplicators and the $q^2$-convolutors are defined in the functional spaces which are dual with…
We discuss the deformation quantization approach for the teaching of quantum mechanics. This approach has certain conceptual advantages which make its consideration worthwhile. In particular, it sheds new light on the relation between…
A many variable $q$-calculus is introduced using the formalism of braided covector algebras. Its properties when certain of its deformation parameters are roots of unity are discussed in detail, and related to fractional supersymmetry. The…
The Weitzenb\"ock curvature operators are the curvature terms of order zero that appear in the well known classical Weitzenb\"ock formula. In this paper, we use the formalism of double forms to prove a simple formula for this operators and…
The geometry of Quantum Mechanics in the context of uncertainty and complementarity, and probability is explored. We extend the discussion of geometry of uncertainty relations in wider perspective. Also, we discuss the geometry of…
In the previous three papers in this series, [WKO1]-[WKO3] (arXiv:1405.1956, arXiv:1405.1955, and to appear), Z. Dancso and I studied a certain theory of "homomorphic expansions" of "w-knotted objects", a certain class of knotted objects in…
This is a written version of lectures that I would have given myself about aspects of the differential operator that is obtained from the linearized Kapustin-Witten equations on the product of the half-line with a compact, oriented,…
In this article we discuss the solvability of some class of fully nonlinear equations, and equations with p-Laplacian in more general conditions by using a new approach given in [1] for studying the nonlinear continuous operator. Moreover…
This note is a sequel to the previous series "Tensor Track I-III". Assuming some familiarity with the tensor track approach to quantum gravity, we provide a brief introduction to the developments of the last two years and to their…

The properties of the Pastro polynomials on the real line are studied with the help of a triplet of $q$-difference operators. The $q$-difference equation and recurrence relation these polynomials obey are shown to arise as generalized…
The deformation equation and its integrability condition (Bianchi identity) of a non-associative deformation in operad algebra are found. Their relation to the theory of gravity is discussed.
