Israel M. Gelfand gave a geometric interpretation for general hypergeometric functions as sections of the tautological bundle over a complex Grassmannian $G_{k,n}$. In particular, the beta function can be understood in terms of $G_{2,3}$.…

We show that classical U(infinity) gauge theories can be obtained from the dimensional reduction of a certain class of higher-derivative theories. In general, the exact symmetry is attained in the limit of degenerate metric; otherwise, the…
Recently, the degenerate gamma functions are introduced as a degenerate version of the usual gamma function by Kim-Kim. In this paper, we investigate several properties of them. Namely, we obtain an analytic continuation as a meromorphic…

A thorough analysis of the general features of $(p=2)$ parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics is presented. It is shown that for both Rubakov--Spiridonov and Beckers--Debergh formulations of $(p=2)$-parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics, the…
We prove stochastic homogenization for integral functionals defined on Sobolev spaces, where the stationary, ergodic integrand satisfies a degenerate growth condition of the form \begin{equation*} c|\xi A(\omega,x)|^p\leq…
We show that the complex hypergeometric function describing $6j$-symbols for $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ group is a special degeneration of the $V$-function -- an elliptic analogue of the Euler-Gauss $_2F_1$ hypergeometric function. For this…
The computation of the partition function of supersymmetric gauge theories on compact manifolds can be reduced to matrix integrals by using the supersymmetric localization technique. Such matrix integrals in the case of three-dimensional…
We establish some new results about the $\Gamma$-limit, with respect to the $L^1$-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations of the so-called Euler's Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane.
We explicitly compute the one-loop exact beta function for a nonlocal extension of the standard gauge theory, in particular Yang-Mills and QED. The theory, made of a weakly nonlocal kinetic term and a local potential of the gauge field, is…
Recent progress in quantum field theory and quantum gravity relies on mixed boundary conditions involving both normal and tangential derivatives of the quantized field. In particular, the occurrence of tangential derivatives in the boundary…
We consider the rarefied elliptic beta integral in various limiting forms. In particular, we obtain an integral identity for parafermionic hyperbolic gamma functions which describes the star-triangle relation for parafermionic Liouville…
We define the adelic hypergeometric function of special Gaussian type by means of a tower of hypergeometric curves. This function takes values in an adelic completed group ring and interpolates all the hypergeometric functions of the same…
