Main objective of the present dissertation is the investigation for all the possible low energy models which emerge in four dimensions by the dimensional reduction of a gauge theory over multiple connected coset spaces. The higher…
The Borsuk number of a set S of diameter d >0 in Euclidean n-space is the smallest value of m such that S can be partitioned into m sets of diameters less than d. Our aim is to generalize this notion in the following way: The k-fold Borsuk…
We formulate certain inequalities for the geometric quantities characterizing causal diamonds in curved and Minkowski spacetimes. These inequalities involve the red-shift factor which, as we show explicitly in the spherically symmetric…
If $(X,d)$ is a Polish metric space of dimension $0$, then by Wadge's lemma, no more than two Borel subsets of $X$ can be incomparable with respect to continuous reducibility. In contrast, our main result shows that for any metric space…
Kaluza-Klein reduction of conformally flat spaces is considered for arbitrary dimensions. The corresponding equations are particularly elegant for the reduction from four to three dimensions. Assuming circular symmetry leads to explicit…
We study a minisuperspace quantum cosmology for a 2+1 dimensional de Sitter universe and find the wave function both exactly and in WKB approximation. Then we extend the model to a canonically quantized field theory for quantum gravity,…
We propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor. In this framework, the gravitational and gauge interactions become united at the weak scale, which we take as the only…
We study lower bounds for the Minkowski and Hausdorff dimensions of the algebraic sum E+K of two subsets E and K of d-dimensional Euclidean space.
Motivated by the manifold hypothesis, which states that data with a high extrinsic dimension may yet have a low intrinsic dimension, we develop refined statistical bounds for entropic optimal transport that are sensitive to the intrinsic…
The manifold hypothesis suggests that the generalization performance of machine learning methods improves significantly when the intrinsic dimension of the input distribution's support is low. In the context of KRR, we investigate two…
Treating the two-dimensional Minkowski space as a Wick rotated version of the complex plane, we characterize the causal automorphisms in two-dimensional Minkowski space as the M\"{a}rzke-Wheeler maps of a certain class of observers. We also…
Motivated by various geometric problems, we study the nodal set of solutions to Dirac equations on manifolds, of general form. We prove that such set has Hausdorff dimension less than or equal to $n-2$, $n$ being the ambient dimension. We…
We review a recently introduced effective graph approximation of causal dynamical triangulations (CDT), the multigraph ensemble. We argue that it is well suited for analytical computations and that it captures the physical degrees of…
We use a characterization of Minkowski measurability to study the asymptotics of best packing on cut-out subsets of the real line with Minkowski dimension $d\in(0,1)$. Our main result is a proof that Minkowski measurability is a sufficient…
Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be an Ahlfors metric measure space. We give sufficient conditions on a closed set $F\subseteq X$ and on a real number $\beta$ in such a way that $d(x,F)^\beta$ becomes a Muckenhoupt weight. We give also some illustrations to…
The critical behavior of d-dimensional systems with an n-component order parameter is reconsidered at (m,d,n)-Lifshitz points, where a wave-vector instability occurs in an m-dimensional subspace of ${\mathbb R}^d$. Our aim is to sort out…
We investigate the approximate j-dimensionality of the singularity sets of minimal surfaces prescribed by Simon. This leads to the clasification of 8 variations of approximately j-dimensional surfacs in terms of dimension and locally finite…
Finding a positive state-space realization with the minimum dimension for a given transfer function is an open problem in control theory. In this paper, we focus on positive realizations in Markov form and propose a linear programming…
We compute the supersymmetry constraints on the R^4 type corrections in maximal supergravity in dimension 8, 6, 4 and 3, and determine the tensorial differential equations satisfied by the function of the scalar fields multiplying the R^4…
Recent results on causality in noncommutative space-time are reviewed. We study, in particular, quantum causal structures in 1+1 dimensional kappa Minkowski space-time. This later is described by a twisted Lorentzian Spectral Triple build…
