We explore the cycles and convergence of Generalized Collatz Sequence, where $3n+1$ in original collatz function is replaced with $3n+k$. We present a generating function for cycles of GCS and show a particular inheritance structure of…

Using the root adjunction formalism developed in an earlier work and logarithmic THH, we obtain a simplified computation of $T(2)_*\text{K}(ku)$ for $p>3$. Through this, we also produce a new algebraic $K$-theory computation; namely we…

We study the vortex lines that are a feature of many random or disordered three-dimensional systems. These show universal statistical properties on long length scales, and geometrical phase transitions analogous to percolation transitions…

We develop a $p$-adic theory of periods for 1-motives, extending the classical theory of complex periods into the non-archimedean setting. For 1-motives with good reduction over $p$-adic local fields, we construct a $p$-adic integration…

We generalize the dual notions of "expansion" and "collapse" so they can be applied to arbitrary metric spaces. We also expand the theory to allow for infinitely many such moves. Those tools are then employed to prove a variety of…

We consider the structure of aperiodic points in $\mathbb Z^2$-subshifts, and in particular the positions at which they fail to be periodic. We prove that if a $\mathbb Z^2$-subshift contains points whose smallest period is arbitrarily…

In this paper we derive formulas for the N-point discrete Fourier transform and the R1 x R2 finite Zak transform of multiplicative characters on Z/N, where N is an odd integer, and R1 and R2 are co-prime factors of N. In one special case…

Fix $d \ge 2$ and a field $k$ such that $\mathrm{char}~k \nmid d$. Assume that $k$ contains the $d$th roots of $1$. Then the irreducible components of the curves over $k$ parameterizing preperiodic points of polynomials of the form $z^d+c$…

A basic problem in quantizing a field in curved space is the decomposition of the classical modes in positive and negative frequency. The decomposition is equivalent to a choice of a complex structure in the space of classical solutions. In…

Making use of inverse Mellin transform techniques for analytical continuation, an elegant proof and an extension of the zeta function regularization theorem is obtained. No series commutations are involved in the procedure; nevertheless the…

We consider a variant of the Zak transform for a finite group $G$ with respect to a fixed abelian subgroup $H$, and demonstrate a relationship with representations of $G$ induced from characters of $H$. We also show how the Zak transform…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$. Let $\mathcal{D}^2_{fg}(A)$ denote the derived category of $2$-periodic complexes with finitely generated cohomology modules. Let $\mathcal{K}^2(\proj A) $ denote the…

The long-standing problem of time in canonical quantum gravity is the source of several conceptual and technical issues. Here, recent mathematical results are used to provide a consistent algebraic formulation of dynamical symplectic…

When $p(t)$ is a polynomial of degree $d$, $k$-th column of the Riordan array $\bigl(1/(1 - t^{d+1}), tp(t)\bigr)$ is an eventually periodic sequence with the repeating part beginning at the $1 + (k-1)(d+1)$-st term. The pre-periodic terms…

We determine periodic and aperiodic points of certain piecewise affine maps in the Euclidean plane. Using these maps, we prove for $\lambda\in\{\frac{\pm1\pm\sqrt5}2,\pm\sqrt2,\pm\sqrt3\}$ that all integer sequences $(a_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}$…

Let M be a field of finite type over {\bf Q} and X a variety defined over M. We study when the set {P \in X(K) \mid f^{\circ n} (P) = P for some n \geq 1} is finite for any finite extension fields K of M and for any dominant K-morphisms f :…

Conformal transformations of a Euclidean (complex) plane have some kind of completeness (sufficiency) for the solution of many mathematical and physical-mathematical problems formulated on this plane. There is no such completeness in the…

For any complex simple Lie algebra, we generalize primary fileds in the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten conformal field theory with respect to the case of irregular singularities and we construct integral representations of hypergeometric…

When are two germs of analytic systems conjugate or orbitally equivalent under an analytic change of coordinates in the neighborhood of a singular point? A way to answer is to use normal forms. But there are large classes of dynamical…

We study numerically the SU(2) Kazakov-Migdal model of `induced QCD'. In contrast to our earlier work on the subject we have chosen here {\it not} to integrate out the gauge fields but to keep them in the Monte Carlo simulation. This allows…
