Recent studies (arXiv:1610.07916, arXiv:1711.07921, arXiv:1807.00186) of six-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories that are engineered by a class of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds $X_{N,M}$, have uncovered a vast web of dualities. In this…
The quest for unification of particles and fields and for reconciliation of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity has led us to gauge theories, string theories, supersymmetry and higher-extended objects: membranes... Our spacetime is…
We define a Hamilton-Jacobi semigroup acting on continuous functions on a compact length space. Following a strategy of Bobkov, Gentil and Ledoux, we use some basic properties of the semigroup to study geometric inequalities related to…
Consideration of some perturbatively calculated gauge-invariant expectation values of local noncomposite operators in pure Yang-Mills theory indicates that those expectation values which are not dimension specific, and which are well…
For an arbitrary representation $\rho$ of a complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra, we construct a collection of numbers that we call the Jordan-Kronecker invariants of $\rho$. Among other interesting properties, these numbers provide lower…
We establish a dimension formula for the harmonic measure of a finitely supported and symmetric random walk on a hyperbolic group. We also characterize random walks for which this dimension is maximal. Our approach is based on the Green…
Given a "Green function" $G$ on a locally compact space $X$ with countable base, a Borel set $A$ in $X$ is called $G$-semipolar, if there is no measure $\nu\ne 0$ supported by $A$ such that $G\nu:=\int G(\cdot,y)\,d\nu(y)$ is a continuous…
In this paper we revisit the theory of one-parameter semigroups of linear operators on Banach spaces in order to prove quantitative bounds for bounded holomorphic semigroups. Subsequently, relying on these bounds we obtain new quantitative…
This is intended as a broad introduction to Chern-Simons gravity and supergravity. The motivation for these theories lies in the desire to have a gauge invariant system --with a fiber bundle formulation-- in more than three dimensions,…
We study symmetries of bases and spanning sets in finite element exterior calculus, using representation theory. We want to know which vector-valued finite element spaces have bases invariant under permutation of vertex indices. The…
The lack of an inner product structure in Banach spaces yields the motivation to introduce a semi-inner product with a more general axiom system, one missing the requirement for symmetry, unlike the one determing a Hilbert space. We use it…
Semiclassical mechanics of systems with first-class constraints is developed. Starting from the quantum theory, one investigates such objects as semiclassical states and observables, semiclassical inner product, semiclassical gauge…
We are going to study the dynamical properties of the rational semigroup $Q_{t}(\mu)$ where $Q_{t}(\mu)= (1-t) \mu * (1- t \mu)^{-1},$ for $t \in [0,1)$, that is defined for $\mu \in \mathcal{P}(G)$, the set of Borel probabilities over $(G,…
The goal of this paper is to study some basic properties of the Fatou and Julia sets for a family of holomorphic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^k,\; k \ge 2$. We are particularly interested in studying these sets for semigroups generated by…
Previous work introduced two measure-conjugacy invariants: the $f$-invariant (for actions of free groups) and $\Sigma$-entropy (for actions of sofic groups). The purpose of this paper is to show that the $f$-invariant is a special case of…
We define and prove existence of fractional $P(\phi)_1$-processes as random processes generated by fractional Schr\"odinger semigroups with Kato-decomposable potentials. Also, we show that the measure of such a process is a Gibbs measure…
Let $M(S)$ be the Banach algebra of all bounded regular Borel measures on a locally compact Hausdorff semitopological semigroup $S$ with variation norm and convolution as multiplication. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for…
Let $\{P_t\}_{t>0}$ be the Dunkl-Poisson semigroup associated with a root system $R\subset \mathbb R^N$ and a multiplicity function $k\geq 0$. Analogously to the classical theory, we say that a bounded measurable function $f$ defined on…
In a recent paper, Dave Benson and Peter Symonds defined a new invariant $\gamma_G(M)$ for a finite dimensional module $M$ of a finite group $G$ which attempts to quantify how close a module is to being projective. In this paper, we…
Let $(X, \sigma_X), (Y, \sigma_Y)$ be one-sided subshifts with the specification property and $\pi:X\rightarrow Y$ a factor map. Let $\mu$ be a unique invariant Gibbs measure for a sequence of continuous functions $\F=\{\log…
