For a fairly general class of two-dimensional tiling substitutions, we prove that if the length expansion $\beta$ is a Pisot number, then the tilings defined by the substitution must be locally finite. We also give a simple example of a…
We classify orbifold geometries which can be interpreted as moduli spaces of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}\geq 3$ superconformal field theories up to rank 2 (complex dimension 6). The large majority of the geometries we find correspond to…
By some SL(2, Z) modular forms introduced in [4] and [10], we construct some modular forms over SL2(Z) and some modular forms over {\Gamma}^0(2) and {\Gamma}_0(2) in odd dimensions. In parallel, we obtain some new cancellation formulas for…
We study irreducible ${\rm SL}_2$-representations of twist knots. We first determine all non-acyclic ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$-representations, which turn out to lie on a line denoted as $x=y$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Our main tools are character…
We review the existing results on the scaling dimensions of operators with more than two derivatives in the non-linear sigma models. We argue that the speculations on the relevance of these operators, and correspondingly on the breakdown of…
We show the existence of classes of non-tiling domains satisfying P\'{o}lya's conjecture in any dimension, in both the Euclidean and non-Euclidean cases. This is a consequence of a more general observation asserting that if a domain…
A theorem of Glasner says that if $X$ is an infinite subset of the torus $\mathbb{T}$, then for any $\epsilon>0$, there exists an integer $n$ such that the dilation $nX=\{nx: x \in \mathbb{T} \}$ is $\epsilon$-dense (i.e, it intersects any…
In the present work we describe 3-dimensional complex SL_2-varieties where the generic SL_2-orbit is a surface. We apply this result to classify the minimal 3-dimensional projective varieties with Picard-number 1 where a semisimple group…
Coincidence Site Lattices (CSLs) are a well established tool in the theory of grain boundaries. For several lattices up to dimension $d=4$, the CSLs are known explicitly as well as their indices and multiplicity functions. Many of them…
We shall define a general notion of dimension, and study groups and rings whose interpretable sets carry such a dimensio. In particular, we deduce chain conditions for groups, definability results for fields and domains, and show that…
We explore visual representations of tilings corresponding to Schl\"afli symbols. In three dimensions, we call these tilings "honeycombs". Schl\"afli symbols encode, in a very efficient way, regular tilings of spherical, euclidean and…
Oscillons are spatially stationary, quasi-periodic solutions of nonlinear field theories seen in settings ranging from granular systems, low temperature condensates and early universe cosmology. We describe a new class of oscillon in which…
For any finitely dimensional associative algebra with global dimension $\leq 2$, we show that there is an embedding from the twisted Ringel-Hall algebra to the Brigeland's Ringel-Hall algebra. In particular, this result is true for tilted…
There are many Rankin-Selberg integrals representing Langlands $L$-functions, and it is not apparent what the limits of the Rankin-Selberg method are. The Dimension Equation is an equality satisfied by many such integrals that suggests a…
Lifting theorems form an important collection of tools in showing that Galois representations are associated to automorphic forms. (Key examples in dimension n>2 are the lifting theorems of Clozel, Harris and Taylor and of Geraghty.) All…
Linear constraint systems (LCS) have proven to be a surprisingly prolific tool in the study of non-classical correlations and various related issues in quantum foundations. Many results are known for the Boolean case, yet the generalisation…
We construct a unilateral lattice tiling of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into hypercubes of two differnet side lengths $p$ or $q$. This generalizes the Pythagorean tiling in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We also show that this tiling is unique up to symmetries, which…
We explore self-similar collapse solutions to the Einstein-axion-dilaton system in arbitrary spacetime dimensions, which are invariant under spacetime dilation combined with internal $SL(2,R)$ transformations. We set up a numerical…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the global categorical symmetries that arise when gauging finite higher groups in three or more dimensions. The motivation is to provide a common perspective on constructions of non-invertible…
We review an approach which aims at studying discrete (pseudo-)manifolds in dimension $d\geq 2$ and called random tensor models. More specifically, we insist on generalizing the two-dimensional notion of $p$-angulations to higher…
