For more than 50 years the Delta N gamma form factors have been studied experimentally, theoretically, and phenomenologically. Although there has been substantial progress in understanding their behavior, there remains much work to be done.…

We use the construction of unfolded Seiberg-Witten Floer spectra of general 3-manifolds defined in our previous paper to extend the notion of relative Bauer-Furuta invariants to general 4-manifolds with boundary. One of the main purposes of…

We report general forms of one family of the N-fold supersymmetry in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. The N-fold supersymmetry is characterized by the supercharges which are N-th order in differential operators. The family reported here…

The isotropy of multiples of Pfister forms is studied. In particular, an improved lower bound on the value of their first Witt index is obtained. This result and certain of its corollaries are applied to the study of the weak isotropy index…

With the aid of the exponentiation functor and Fourier transform we introduce a class of modules $T(g,V,S)$ of $\mathfrak{sl} (n+1)$ of mixed tensor type. By varying the polynomial $g$, the $\mathfrak{gl}(n)$-module $V$, and the set $S$, we…

Let $(b,u)$ be a pair consisting of a symplectic form $b$ on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$, and of a $b$-alternating endomorphism $u$ of $V$ (i.e. $b(x,u(x))=0$ for all $x$ in $V$). Let $p$ and $q$ be…

Let $G$ be the group of $\mathbb R$--points of a semisimple algebraic group $\mathcal G$ defined over $\mathbb Q$. Assume that $G$ is connected and noncompact. We study Fourier coefficients of Poincar\' e series attached to matrix…

The q-state Potts model in two dimensions exhibits a first-order transition for q>4. As q->4+ the correlation length at this transition diverges. We argue that this limit defines a massive integrable quantum field theory whose lowest…

We construct an intrinsic q-deformation of the vector derivative on radial algebras. The construction is not obtained from a coordinate realization by replacing ordinary partial derivatives with one-variable Jackson derivatives; that…

Let G be a group of type E8 of compact type over the field of rational numbers, let K be a field of characteristic 0, and q the 5-fold Pfister form which is the sum of 32 squares. J-P. Serre posed in a letter to M. Rost written on June 23,…

A derivation of the cyclic form factor equation from quantum field theoretical principles is given; form factors being the matrix elements of a field operator between scattering states. The scattering states are constructed from Haag-Ruelle…

We derive closed recursion equations for the symmetric polynomials occuring in the form factors of $D_n^{(1)}$ affine Toda field theories. These equations follow from kinematical- and bound state residue equations for the full form factor.…

The Dwyer-Fried invariants of a finite cell complex X are the subsets \Omega^i_r(X) of the Grassmannian of r-planes in H^1(X,\Q) which parametrize the regular \Z^r-covers of X having finite Betti numbers up to degree i. In previous work, we…

Given any unoriented link diagram, a group of new knot invariants are constructed. Each of them satisfies a generalized 4 term skein relation. The coefficients of each invariant is from a commutative ring. Homomorphisms and representations…

Given two smooth manifolds with tangent subbundle distributions, an embedding is Pfaffian if its differential sends the distribution on the source into the distribution on the target. In this paper, we consider the question of existence of…

We consider $N\times N$ tensors for $N= 3,4,5,6$. In the case $N=3$, it is desired to find the three principal invariants $i_1, i_2, i_3$ of $\bf U$ in terms of the three principal invariants $I_1, I_2, I_3$ of ${\bf C}={\bf U}^2$.…

The quadratic phase Fourier transform (QPFT) is a generalization of several well-known integral transforms, including the linear canonical transform (LCT), fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), and Fourier transform (FT). This paper…

We characterize and classify quantum correlations in two-fermion systems having 2K single-particle states. For pure states we introduce the Slater decomposition and rank (in analogy to Schmidt decomposition and rank), i.e. we decompose the…

Given a semisimple stable autonomous tensor category over a field $K$, to any group presentation with finite number of generators we associate an element $Q(P)\in K$ invariant under the Andrews-Curtis moves. We show that in fact, this is…

In this article we consider the cycle structure of compositions of pairs of involutions in the symmetric group S_n chosen uniformly at random. These can be modeled as modified 2-regular graphs, giving rise to exponential generating…
