Superconformal indices of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories factorize into holomorphic blocks. We interpret this as a modular property resulting from the combined action of an $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ and $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes…
This paper addresses the classification problem of integrable deformations of solutions of "degenerate" Riemann-Hilbert-Birkhoff (RHB) problems. These consist of those RHB problems whose initial datum has diagonal pole part with coalescing…
We consider deformations of a differential system with Poincare' rank 1 at infinity and Fuchsian singularity at zero along a stratum of a coalescence locus. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the deformation to be strongly…
The relationship of two dimensional quantum field theory and isomonodromic deformations of Fuchsian systems has a long history. Recently four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories joined the party in a multitude of roles. In this paper…
In this paper we generalise the notion of Drinfeld modular form for the group $\Gamma$ := GL2(Fq[$\theta$]) to a vector-valued setting, where the target spaces are certain modules over positive characteristic Banach algebras over which are…
A new method to construct algebro-geometric solutions of rank two Schlesinger systems is presented. For an elliptic curve represented as a ramified double covering of CP^1, a meromorphic differential is constructed with the following…
Viewing the Knizhnik--Zamolodchikov equations as multi--time, nonautonomous Shr\"odinger equations, the transformation to the Heisenberg representation is shown to yield the quantum Schlesinger equations. These are the quantum form of the…
In recent years a Hopf algebraic structure underlying the process of renormalization in quantum field theory was found. It led to a Birkhoff factorization for (regularized) Hopf algebra characters, i.e. for Feynman rules. In this work we…
A matrix formalism is proposed for computations based on Picard--Lefschetz theory in a 2D case. The formalism is essentially equivalent to the computation of the intersection indices necessary for the Picard--Lefschetz formula and enables…
We verify a conjecture of Vershik by showing that Hall's universal countable locally finite group can be embedded as a dense subgroup in the isometry group of the Urysohn space and in the automorphism group of the random graph. In fact, we…
Schlesinger transformations are discrete monodromy preserving symmetry transformations of a meromorphic connection which shift by integers the eigenvalues of its residues. We study Schlesinger transformations for twisted sl_N-valued…
Let $k$ be an arbitrary field, $\Lambda$ be a $k$-algebra and $V$ be a $\Lambda$-module. When it exists, the universal deformation ring $R(\Lambda,V)$ of $V$ is a $k$-algebra whose local homomorphisms to $R$ parametrize the lifts of $V$ up…
In this paper, we survey physically related applications of a class of weighted quasi-Monte Carlo methods from a theoretical, deterministic perspective, and establish quantitative universal rapid convergence results via various regularity…
A class of two-dimensional superintegrable systems on a constant curvature surface is considered as the natural generalization of some well known one-dimensional factorized systems. By using standard methods to find the shape-invariant…
We establish a correspondence between consistent comprehension schemes and complete orthogonal factorisation systems. The comprehensive factorisation of a functor between small categories arises in this way. Similar factorisation systems…
A universality of deformed Heisenberg algebra involving the reflection operator is revealed. It is shown that in addition to the well-known infinite-dimensional representations related to parabosons, the algebra has also finite-dimensional…
We generalise well-known integrals of Ingham-Siegel and Fisher-Hartwig type over the unitary group $U(N)$ with respect to Haar measure, for finite $N$ and including fixed external matrices. When depending only on the eigenvalues of the…
We approach the question of complexification of the diffeomorphism group of the circle by considering real-analytic maps from the circle into the punctured complex plane with winding number +1. Such complex deformations form an…
Let $\varphi\colon\Gamma\to G$ be a homomorphism of groups. In this paper we introduce the notion of a subnormal map (the inclusion of a subnormal subgroup into a group being a basic prototype). We then consider factorizations…
This article deals with universal deformations of dihedral representations with a particular focus on the question when the universal deformation is dihedral. Results are obtained in three settings: (1) representation theory, (2) algebraic…
