Using Koszmider's strongly unbounded functions, we show the following consistency result: Suppose that $\kappa,\lambda$ are infinite cardinals such that $\kappa^{+++} \leq \lambda$, $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$ and $2^{\kappa}= \kappa^+$, and…

According to a conjecture of E. Witten proved by M. Kontsevich, a certain generating function for intersection indices on the Deligne -- Mumford moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces coincides with a certain tau-function of the KdV hierarchy.…

Let $(K,v)$ be a valued field, and $\mu$ an inductive valuation on $K[x]$ extending $v$. Let $G_\mu$ be the graded algebra of $\mu$ over $K[x]$, and $\kappa$ the maximal subfield of the subring of $G_\mu$ formed by the homogeneous elements…

We give a combinatorial rule for computing intersection numbers on a flag manifold which come from products of Schubert classes pulled back from Grassmannian projections. This rule generalizes the known rule for Grassmannians.

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a countably infinite group of unitary operators on a complex separable Hilbert space $H$. Let $X = \{x_{1},...,x_{r}\}$ and $Y = \{y_{1},...,y_{s}\}$ be finite subsets of $H$, $r < s$, $V_{0} = \bar{span}…

A few years ago Fritz Gesztesy raised the issue of whether there was a composition rule for the Witten index analogous to that satisfied by Fredholm operators. In this note we prove a result in this direction and provide an application to…

This is a survey article. We consider different problems in connection with the behavior of functions of operators under perturbations of operators. We deal with three classes of operators: unitary operators, self-adjoint operators, and…

We review progress on the generalized Witten conjecture and some of its major ingredients. This conjecture states that certain intersection numbers on the moduli space of higher spin curves assemble into the logarithm of the tau function of…

We explicitly construct a finite number of discrete components in the restriction of complementary series representations of rank one semisimple groups $G$ to rank one subgroups $G_1$. For this we use the realizations of complementary…

For $n<\omega$, we say that the $\Pi^1_n$-reflection principle holds at $\kappa$ and write $\text{Refl}_n(\kappa)$ if and only if $\kappa$ is a $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable cardinal and every $\Pi^1_n$-indescribable subset of $\kappa$ has a…

We construct a divided difference operator using GKM theory. This generalizes the classical divided difference operator for the cohomology of the complete flag variety. This construction proves a special case of a recent conjecture of…

In this paper we present a recurrent relation for counting meaningful compositions of the higher-order differential operations on the space $R^{n}$ (n=3,4,...) and extract the non-trivial compositions of order higher than two.

The expressions of the eigenfunctions of the Hawton photon position operator in the configuration space are derived for several classes of wave function, including the Riemann-Silberstein and Landau-Peierls cases. Although these…

Starting from the ELSV formula, we derive a number of new equations on the generating functions for Hodge integrals over the moduli space of complex curves. This gives a new simple and uniform treatment of certain known results on Hodge…

We get new Hopf algebras (HA): 1. A wealth of quotient HA's of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer HA (the Loday-Ronco HA being a special case). They consist of the permutations avoiding an {\it arbitrary} set of permutations without global descents,…

In this paper we study a certain recurrence relation, that can be used to generate ladder operators for the Laguerre Unitary ensemble, from the point of view of Sakai's geometric theory of Painlev\'e equations. On one hand, this gives us…

We compute the Welschinger invariants of blowups of the projective plane at an arbitrary conjugation invariant configuration of points. Specifically, open analogues of the WDVV equation and Kontsevich-Manin axioms lead to a recursive…

Geometric grid classes and the substitution decomposition have both been shown to be fundamental in the understanding of the structure of permutation classes. In particular, these are the two main tools in the recent classification of…

In the present paper we construct explicitly the intertwining differential operators for the Jacobi algebra ${\cal G}_2.$ For the construction we use the singular vectors of the Verma modules over ${\cal G}_2$ which we have constructed…

The space of invariants for a single matrix is generated by traces containing at most $N$ matrices per trace. We extend this analysis to multi-matrix models at finite $N$. Using the Molien-Weyl formula, we compute partition functions for…
