These notes expand upon our lectures on {\em profinite rigidity} at the international colloquium on randomness, geometry and dynamics, organised by TIFR Mumbai at IISER Pune in January 2024. We are interested in the extent to which groups…

We develop a general perturbative framework based on a superconducting atomic limit for the description of Andreev bound states (ABS) in interacting quantum dots connected to superconducting leads. A local effective Hamiltonian for dressed…

We give sharp bounds in Breuillard, Green and Tao's finitary version of Gromov's theorem on groups with polynomial growth. Precisely, we show that for every non-negative integer d there exists $c=c(d)>0$ such that if $G$ is a group with…

Based on a combination of insights afforded by Rainer Picard and Serge Nicaise, we extend a set of abstract piezo-electromagnetic impedance boundary conditions. We achieve this by accommodating for the influence of heat with the inclusion…

We consider a problem posed by Shparlinski, of giving nontrivial bounds for rational exponential sums over the arithmetic function $\tau(n)$, counting the number of divisors of $n$. This is done using some ideas of Sathe concerning the…

In the paper we develop the method of higher energies. New upper bounds for the additive energies of convex sets, sets A with small |AA| and |A(A+1)| are obtained. We prove new structural results, including higher sumsets, and develop the…

Fix $k \geq 6$. We prove that any large enough finite group $G$ contains $k$ elements which span quadratically many triples of the form $(a,b,ab) \in S \times G$, given any dense set $S \subseteq G \times G$. The quadratic bound is…

Motivated by a spectral analysis of the generator of completely positive trace-preserving semigroup, we analyze a real functional $$ A,B \in M_n(\mathbb{C}) \to r(A,B) = \frac{1}{2}\Bigl(\langle [B,A],BA\rangle + \langle [B,A^\ast],BA^\ast…

Grain boundary (GB) energy is a fundamental property that affects the form of grain boundary and plays an important role to unveil the behavior of polycrystalline materials. With a better understanding of grain boundary energy distribution…

A general framework for determining fundamental bounds in nanophotonics is introduced in this paper. The theory is based on convex optimization of dual problems constructed from operators generated by electromagnetic integral equations. The…

In this paper, building among others on earlier works by U. Krause and C. Zahlten (dealing with the case of cyclic groups), we obtain a new upper bound for the little cross number valid in the general case of arbitrary finite Abelian…

We demonstrate several new electron transport phenomena mediated by Andreev bound states (ABSs) that form on three-terminal carbon nanotube (CNT) QDs, with one superconducting (S) contact in the center and two adjacent normal metal (N)…

We generalize to the super context, the known fact that if an affine algebraic group $G$ over a commutative ring $k$ acts freely (in an appropriate sense) on an affine scheme $X$ over $k$, then the dur sheaf $X\tilde{\tilde{/}}G$ of…

This paper introduces new variational methods centered on the direct application of a profile decomposition theorem for bounded sequences in Sobolev spaces. We employ these methods to prove the existence of ground state solutions for a…

We prove that every smooth affine variety of dimension $d$ embeds into every simple algebraic group of dimension at least $2d+2$. We do this by establishing the existence of embeddings of smooth affine varieties into the total space of…
