The cyclic sieving phenomenon provides a link between a polynomial analogue of Gauss congruence known as $q$-Gauss congruence, and a combinatorial analogue of Gauss congruence based on sequences of cyclic group actions. We strengthen this…
A general diffeomorphism invariant SU(2) gauge theory is a gravity theory with two propagating polarizations of the graviton. We develop this description of gravity, in particular for future applications to the perturbative quantization.…
We revisit the gravitational lensing phenomenon using a new visualization technique. It consists in projecting the observers sky into the source plane, what gives rise to a folded and stretched surface. This provides a clear graphical tool…
It is well known that in a generally covariant gravitational theory the choice of spacetime scalars as coordinates yields phase-space observables (or "invariants"). However their relation to the symmetry group of diffeomorphism…
The notion of an upward plane graph in graph theory and that of a progressive plane graph (or plane string diagram) in category theory are essentially the same thing. In this paper, we combine the ideas in graph theory and category theory…
We give a full classification of general affine connections on Galilei manifolds in terms of independently specifiable tensor fields. This generalises the well-known case of (torsional) Galilei connections, i.e. connections compatible with…
The duality cascade, and its dual description as string theory on the warped deformed conifold, brings together several sophisticated topics, some of which are not widely known. These lectures, which contain a number of previously…
Differential categories provide the categorical foundations for the algebraic approaches to differentiation. They have been successful in formalizing various important concepts related to differentiation, such as, in particular,…
In this paper we consider developable surfaces which are isometric to planar domains and which are piecewise differentiable, exhibiting folds along curves. The paper revolves around the longstanding problem of existence of the so-called…
A \emph{graceful labeling} of a graph $G$ is an injective function $f : V(G) \to \{0, \ldots, |E(G)|\}$ such that $\{\,|f(u)-f(v)| : uv \in E(G)\,\} = \{1, \ldots, |E(G)|\}$. If such a labeling exists, then we call $G$ \emph{graceful}.…
Duality groups as (spontaneously broken) gauge symmetries for toroidal backgrounds, and their role in ($\infty$-dimensional) underlying string gauge algebras are reviewed. For curved backgrounds, it is shown that there is a duality in the…
In this paper three notions of emergent geometry arising from the study of gauge/gravity duals are discussed. The unifying theme behind these notions of emergent geometry is that one can derive properties of the effective action of a probe…
Galois comodules of a coring are studied. The conditions for a simple comodule to be a Galois comodule are found. A special class of Galois comodules termed principal comodules is introduced. These are defined as Galois comodules that are…
Gaussian process classification is a popular method with a number of appealing properties. We show how to scale the model within a variational inducing point framework, outperforming the state of the art on benchmark datasets. Importantly,…
We introduce a class of perverse sheaves on a partial flag manifold of a connected reductive group G defined over a finite field which are equivariant under the action of the group of rational points of G. The definition of this class is…
In this communication, based on our paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.4186, we discuss a way of enhancing Gauge/Gravity Duality and response of a dual strongly coupled medium on placing the inhomogeneity on the gravity side.
Bayesian learning using Gaussian processes provides a foundational framework for making decisions in a manner that balances what is known with what could be learned by gathering data. In this dissertation, we develop techniques for…
The Gaussian entire function is a random entire function, characterised by a certain invariance with respect to isometries of the plane. We study the fluctuations of the increment of the argument of the Gaussian entire function along planar…
Path calculus, or graphical linear algebra, is a string diagram calculus for the category of matrices over a base ring. It is the usual string diagram calculus for a symmetric monoidal category, where the monoidal product is the direct sum…
A bipartite graph $G=(A, B, E)$ is said to be a biconvex bipartite graph if there exist orderings $<_A$ in $A$ and $<_B$ in $B$ such that the neighbors of every vertex in $A$ are consecutive with respect to $<_B$ and the neighbors of every…
