We consider the rigidity and global rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in Euclidean $d$-space under additional dilation constraints in specified coordinate directions. In this setting we obtain a complete characterisation of generic rigidity.…
For simple electromagnetic models of a rod and a clock, a change of the shape of the rod and of the rate of the clock when they are set in uniform motion is calculated exactly, employing the correct equation of motion of a charged particle…
A previously discussed clockwork mechanism within heterotic M-theory is applied to its axion landscape. We identify a unique candidate for a QCD-axion with a decay constant in the preferred "axion window" around $10^{11}\,$GeV. It is…
Several characterizations of complex ellipsoids among convex bodies in Cn, in terms of their sections and projections are proved. Characterizing complex symmetry in similar terms is an important tool.
We have studied the nonlinear structure formation of the environmentally dependent dilaton model using $N$-body simulations. We find that the mechanism of suppressing the scalar fifth force in high-density regions works very well. Within…
The clockwork is a mechanism for generating light particles with exponentially suppressed interactions in theories which contain no small parameters at the fundamental level. We develop a general description of the clockwork mechanism valid…
We propose a general method for the construction and analysis of unweighted $\epsilon$ - recurrence networks from chaotic time series. The selection of the critical threshold $\epsilon_c$ in our scheme is done empirically and we show that…
The cosmic time dilation observed in Type Ia supernova light curves suggests that the passage of cosmic time varies throughout the evolution of the Universe. This observation implies that the rate of proper time is not constant, as assumed…
In this paper, we present extensively the observational consequences of massless dilaton theories at the post-Newtonian level. We extend previous work by considering a general model including a dilaton-Ricci coupling as well as a general…
A nonlinear cyclic system with delay and the overall negative feedback is considered. The characteristic equation of the linearized system is studied in detail. Sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions and for the…
In this paper convolutional codes with cyclic structure will be investigated. These codes can be understood as left principal ideals in a suitable skew-polynomial ring. It has been shown in [3] that only certain combinations of the…

Understanding the continuum limit of a theory of discrete random geometries is a beautiful but difficult challenge. In this optic, we review here the insights that can be obtained for Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) by employing the…
In this article some noncommutative topological objects such as NC mapping cone and NC mapping cylinder are introduced. We will see that these objects are equipped with the NCCW complex structure of [PEDERSEN]. As a generalization we…
In the wake of our recent work on cyclotomic effects in quantum phase locking [M. Planat and H. C. Rosu, Phys. Lett. A 315, 1 (2003)], we briefly discuss here a cyclotomic extension of the Salecker and Wigner quantum clock. We also hint on…
Dilatation, i.e. scale, symmetry in the presence of the dilaton in Minkowski space is derived from diffeomorphism symmetry in curved spacetime, incorporating the volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. The conditions for scale invariance are…
I discuss the usefulness of lattice supersymmetry in relation to string phenomenology. I suggest how lattice results might be incorporated into string phenomenology. I outline difficulties and describe some constructions that contain an…
In this article we study networks of coupled dynamical systems with time-delayed connections. If two such networks hold different delays on the connections it is in general possible that they exhibit different dynamical behavior as well. We…
I give a pedagogical discussion of thermal dark matter (DM) within the clockwork mechanism. The clockwork mechanism, which is a natural way to generate small numbers starting from order-one couplings, allows to have a long-lived, but…
In these lectures we review the constraints on particle physics models arising from cosmic defects. This includes constraints on theories where stable cosmic string loops, or vortons result. These can arise in supersymmetric theories. We…
