In this paper I shall consider various possible scalar-vector-tensor field theories which might be used to describe the Universe. After imposing numerous constraints of a physical and mathematical nature on the theories under consideration,…

We introduce a weighted de Rham operator which acts on arbitrary tensor fields by considering their structure as r-fold forms. We can thereby define associated superpotentials for all tensor fields in all dimensions and, from any of these…

Whenever the N=(2,2) supersymmetry algebra of non-linear sigma-models in two dimensions does not close off-shell, a holomorphic two-form can be defined. The only known superfields providing candidate auxiliary fields to achieve an off-shell…

We define the concepts of topological particles and topological radiation. These are nothing more than connected components of defects of a vector field. To each topological particle we assign an index which is an integer which is conserved…

A "2-group" is a category equipped with a multiplication satisfying laws like those of a group. Just as groups have representations on vector spaces, 2-groups have representations on "2-vector spaces", which are categories analogous to…

A representation of partially spatially coherent and partially polarized stationary electromagnetic fields is given in terms of mutually uncorrelated, transversely shifted, fully coherent and polarized elementary electric-field modes. This…

Topological superconductors are gapped superconductors with gapless and topologically robust quasiparticles propagating on the boundary. In this paper, we present a topological field theory description of three-dimensional time-reversal…

We describe new theories of composite vector and tensor (p-form) gauge fields made out of zero-dimensional constituent scalar fields (``primitives''). The local gauge symmetry is replaced by an infinite-dimensional global Noether symmetry…

Restriction is a natural quasi-order on $d$-way tensors. We establish a remarkable aspect of this quasi-order in the case of tensors over a fixed finite field -- namely, that it is a well-quasi-order: it admits no infinite antichains and no…

We construct the tensor hierarchies of generic, bosonic, 5- and 6-dimensional field theories. The construction of the tensor hierarchy starts with the introduction of two tensors: the embedding tensor which tells us which vector is used for…

We consider the linear space of composite fields as an infinite dimensional vector bundle over the theory space whose coordinates are simply the parameters of a renormalized field theory. We discuss a geometrical expression for the short…

This paper aims to give a further study on quasi-convex subsets in Alexandrov spaces with lower curvature bound which are introduced in [SSW]. We first provide new insights on quasi-convex subsets (Theorem A and Corollary C), and then as…

A rigorous mathematical proof is given of a class of vector identities that provide a way to separate an arbitrary vector field (over a linear space) into the sum of a radial (i.e., pointing toward the radial unit vector) vector field,…

Defining the electric and magnetic field vectors in curved spacetime requires a proper choice of the observer's frame four-vector. Related literature shows that this fundamental issue in physics still needs to be properly resolved. In…

Under certain conditions, an element of a tensor product space can be identified with a compact operator and the singular value decomposition (SVD) applies to the latter. These conditions are not fulfilled in Sobolev spaces. In the previous…

We consider tensor-multiscalar representations for several types of modified gravity actions. The first example is the theory with the action representing an arbitrary smooth function of the scalar curvature R and (Box R), the integrand of…

A two-form formulation for the N=2 vector-tensor multiplet is constructed using superfield methods in central charge superspace. The N=2 non-Abelian standard supergauge multiplet in central charge superspace is also discussed, as is with…

We use the four-dimensional N=2 central charge superspace to give a geometrical construction of the Abelian vector-tensor multiplet consisting, under N=1 supersymmetry, of one vector and one linear multiplet. We derive the component field…

Let M be a CR submanifold of maximal CR dimension of a complex space form M. The shape operator A of the distinguished vector field {\xi} is recurrent if there exists a 1-form v such that \nabla A = A \otimes v. We show that M is an…

This note is propaedeutic to the forthcoming work \cite{sil}; here we develop the terminology and results required by that paper. More specifically we introduce the concept of scalarly essentially integrable locally convex vector-valued…
