We provide a natural generalization to submanifolds of the holographic method used to extract higher-order local invariants of both Riemannian and conformal embeddings, some of which depend on a choice of parallelization of the normal…
Solitonic objects play a central role in gauge and string theory (as, e.g., monopoles, black holes, D-branes, etc.). Certain string backgrounds produce a noncommutative deformation of the low-energy effective field theory, which allows for…
We address Gromov's band width inequality and Rosenberg's $S^1$-stability conjecture for simply connected smooth four manifolds. Both results are known to be false in dimension 4 due to counterexamples based on Seiberg-Witten invariants.…
In the paper we describe the derivations of two $\mathbb{N}$-graded infinity-dimensional Lie algebras $\mathbf{n}_1$ and $\mathbf{n}_1$ what are positive parts of affine Kats-Moody algebras $A^{(1)}_1$ and $A^{(2)}_2$, respectively. Then we…
It is shown that in dimension at least three a local diffeomorphism of Euclidean n-space into itself is injective provided that the pull-back of every plane is a Riemannian submanifold which is conformal to a plane. Using a similar…
We provide a measure based topology for certain unions of C2 rectifiable submanifolds of mixed dimensions in Rn. In this topology lower dimensional sets remain in the limit as measures when higher dimensional sets collapse down to them. For…
Optical (or Robinson) structures are one generalisation of four-dimensional shearfree congruences of null geodesics to higher dimensions. They are Lorentzian analogues of complex and CR structures. In this context, we extend the…
The n-dimensional projective group gives rise to a one-parameter family of inhomogeneous first-order differential operator representations of sl(n+1). By partially swapping differential operators and multiplication operators, we obtain more…
We investigate the supersymmetric versions of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs or, equivalently, conformal Carroll symmetry in boundary dimensions $d>3$, with applications of flat space holography in mind. We identify the contraction of the relativistic…
Contrary to the decades-old understanding, SGn, the Sine-Gordon equation in (1+n) dimensions, has N-soliton solutions for any N >= 1, not only for n = 1, but also for n = 2 and 3. While SG1 solitons are confined to a line, SG2- and…
In theories with (sets of) two large extra dimensions and supersymmetry in the bulk, the presence of non-supersymmetric brane defects naturally induces a logarithmic potential for the volume of the transverse dimensions. Since the logarithm…
Using a one-to-one correspondence between observables and their spectral resolutions, we introduce the sum of any two bounded observables of a $\sigma$-MV-effect algebra. This sum is commutative, associative and with neutral element. Under…
We show a sharp and rigid spectral generalization of the classical Bishop--Gromov volume comparison theorem: if a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $n\geq3$ satisfies $$…
Generalized permutahedra are the polytopes obtained from the permutahedron by changing the edge lengths while preserving the edge directions, possibly identifying vertices along the way. We introduce a "lifting" construction for these…
Motivated by applications to soft supersymmetry breaking, we revisit the expansion of the Seiberg-Witten solution around the multi-monopole point on the Coulomb branch of pure $SU(N)$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theory in four dimensions. At this…
We apply the coadjoint orbit method to construct relativistic nonlinear sigma models (NLSM) on the target space of coadjoint orbits coupled with the Chern-Simons (CS) gauge field and study self-dual solitons. When the target space is given…
We show that when using the underlying positive model structure on symmetric spectra one obtains cofibrancy conditions for operadic constructions under much milder hypothesis than one would need for general categories. Our main result…
We show explicitly how the Newton-Hooke groups act as symmetries of the equations of motion of non-relativistic cosmological models with a cosmological constant. We give the action on the associated non-relativistic spacetimes and show how…
On a closed manifold, consider the space of all Riemannian metrics for which -Delta + kR is positive (nonnegative) definite, where k > 0 and R is the scalar curvature. This spectral generalization of positive (nonnegative) scalar curvature…
We demonstrate how one can construct renormalizable perturbative expansion in formally nonrenormalizable higher dimensional scalar theories. It is based on 1/N-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent perturbation theory in…
