We reprove twice, in a simpler but as elementary way, a result by Hor\'ak and Skula (1985) who determined, among all sequences of integers defined by $$u_1=1,\quad u_2=R,\quad u_{n+2}=Pu_{n+1}-Qu_n$$ for some integers $P,Q,R$, those which…

We study the relation between the palindromic and factor complexity of infinite words. We show that for uniformly recurrent words one has P(n)+P(n+1) \leq \Delta C(n) + 2, for all n \in N. For a large class of words it is a better estimate…

In this paper, new refinements for integral and sum forms of H\"older inequality are established. We note that many existing inequalities related to the H\"older inequality can be improved via obtained new inequalities in here, we show this…

We reexamine the large N limit of matrix integrals over the orthogonal group O(N) and their relation with those pertaining to the unitary group U(N). We prove that lim_{N to infty} N^{-2} \int DO exp N tr JO is half the corresponding…

We consider the variety of $(p+1)$-tuples of matrices $M_j$ from given conjugacy classes from $GL(n,{\bf C})$ such that $M_1... M_{p+1}=I$. This variety is connected with the Deligne-Simpson problem and the matrices $M_j$ are interpreted as…

We consider the continuous superposition of operators of the form \[ \iint_{[0, 1]\times (1, N)} (-\Delta)_p^s \,u\,d\mu(s,p), \] where $\mu$ denotes a signed measure over the set $[0, 1]\times (1, N)$, joined to a nonlinearity satisfying a…

This paper consists of two (still only vaguely) related parts: in the first, we briefly review work done in the past three years on the ``planar equivalence" between a class of non-supersymmetric theories (including limiting cases of QCD)…

The microscopic justification of the emergence of SU(3) symmetry in heavy nuclei remains an interesting problem. In the past, the pseudo-SU(3) approach has been used, with considerable success. Recent results seem to suggest that the key…

Let $\{U_n\}$ be given by $U_0=1$ and $U_n=-2\sum_{k=1}^{[n/2]} \b n{2k}U_{n-2k}\ (n\ge 1)$, where $[\cdot]$ is the greatest integer function. In the paper we present a summation formula and several congruences involving $\{U_n\}$.

In this note we envisage the relation existing between the Lie Groups and the Theory of Complex Variables. In particular, it is shown that the dimensions of the irreducibles representations of $SU(N)$ may be written in terms of the…

For an element $a$ of an integral domain D under an equivalence relation \tau, the \tau-factorization of a is defined as \lambda a_1 a_2... a_k, where \lambda is a unit in D and a_i \tau a_j for all i, j. An irreducible element has no…

We consider generalizations of the standard model (SM) which are based on the gauge symmetry $SU(n)_c\otimes SU(m)_L\otimes U(1)_N$. Although the most interesting possibilities occur when $n=3$, we will consider also the cases $n=4,5$ both…

Bounding sup-norms of modular forms in terms of the level has been the focus of much recent study. In this work the sup norm of a half integral weight cusp form is bounded in terms of the level.

I summarise what recent lattice calculations tell us about the large-N limit of SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions. The focus is on confinement, how close SU(oo) is to SU(3), new stable strings at larger N, deconfinement, topology and…

We calculate the mass spectra and string tensions of SU(2), SU(3), SU(4) and SU(5) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. We do so by simulating the corresponding lattice theories and then extrapolating dimensionless mass ratios to the continuum…

We consider certain generalized binomial sums $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell)$ and discuss the nonintegrality of their values for integral parameters $n,r \geq 1$ and $\ell \in \mathbb{Z}$ in several cases using $p$-adic methods. In particular,…

A non-minimal, semi-realistic version of supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory is discussed. The solution of the doublet-triplet splitting problem leads to a better agreement between the predicted and observed values of the low-energy…

We discuss implications of improved upper bounds on the $|\Delta L|=2$ processes (i) $K^+ \to \pi^- \mu^+ \mu^+$, from an experiment at BNL, and (ii) $\mu^- \to e^+$ conversion, from an experiment at PSI. In particular, we address the issue…

We present our preliminary results of SO(2N) gauge theories, approaching the large-N limit. SO(2N) theories may help us to understand QCD at finite chemical potential since there is an orbifold equivalence between SO(2N) and SU(N) gauge…

Let P_nk(x) denote the sum of the lowest k+1 terms in the expansion of (1+x)^n. We investigate the irreducibility of P_nk(x) and more general univariate polynomials related to it. Polynomials P_nk(x) naturally arise in Schubert calculus,…
