We develop the discrete set of Dyson-Schwinger equations for scalar fields and solve them for some cases. We show that their solutions are Gaussian in the continuum limit as expected from the theorems of Aizenman and of Aizenman and…

Gaussian random fields (GRFs) constitute an important part of spatial modelling, but can be computationally infeasible for general covariance structures. An efficient approach is to specify GRFs via stochastic partial differential equations…

In this paper, we study the level-set of the zero-average Gaussian Free Field on a uniform random $d$-regular graph above an arbitrary level $h\in (-\infty, h_{\star})$, where $h_{\star}$ is the level-set percolation threshold of the GFF on…

We continue the study of the level-set percolation of the discrete Gaussian free field (GFF) on regular trees in the critical regime, initiated in arXiv:2302.02753. First, we derive a sharp asymptotic estimate for the probability that the…

Compactifications of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on four-manifolds generate a large class of novel 2d quantum field theories. We consider in detail the case of the rank one simple non-Higgsable cluster 6D SCFTs. On the tensor…

Manifolds discovered by machine learning models provide a compact representation of the underlying data. Geodesics on these manifolds define locally length-minimising curves and provide a notion of distance, which are key for reduced-order…

A model for quantum gravity in one (time) dimension is discussed, based on Regge's discrete formulation of gravity. The nature of exact continuous lattice diffeomorphisms and the implications for a regularized gravitational measure are…

In this paper, we leverage the properties of non-Euclidean Geometry to define the Geodesic distance (GD) on the space of statistical manifolds. The Geodesic distance is a real and intuitive similarity measure that is a good alternative to…
