Grothendieck proved that any finite epimorphism of noetherian schemes factors into a finite sequence of effective epimorphisms. We define the complexity of a flat groupoid $R\rightrightarrows X$ with finite stabilizer to be the length of…
The paper aims to extend major equations in the electromagnetic and gravitational theories from the flat space into the complex octonion curved space. Maxwell applied simultaneously the quaternion analysis and vector terminology to describe…
The construction of a microthermodynamic formalism for isolated systems based on the concept of adiabatic invariance is an old but seldom appreciated effort in the literature, dating back at least to P. Hertz [Ann. Phys. (Leipzig) 33, 225…
In the realm of complexity, it is argued that adequate modeling of TeV-physics demands an approach based on fractal operators and fractional calculus (FC). Non-local theories and memory effects are connected to complexity and the FC. The…
This evocative essay focuses on mathematical activities witnessed by the author along 1962-64 at IMPA. The list of research problems proposed in September 1962 by Mauricio Peixoto at the Seminar on the Qualitative Theory of Differential…
We introduce and initiate the study of new parameters associated with any norm and any log-concave measure on $\mathbb R^n$, which provide sharp distributional inequalities. In the Gaussian context this investigation sheds light to the…
The Grothedieck bound formalism is studied using `rescaling transformations', in the context of a single quantum system. The rescaling transformations enlarge the set of unitary transformations (which apply to isolated systems), with…
The notion of two-numbers of connected Riemannian manifolds was introduced about 35 years ago in [Un invariant geometrique riemannien, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Math. 295 (1982), 389--391] by B.-Y. Chen and T. Nagano. Later, two-numbers have…
In these lectures I will give an introduction to Feynman integrals. In the first part of the course I review the basics of the perturbative expansion in quantum field theories. In the second part of the course I will discuss more advanced…
We show that dimensional recurrence relation and analytical properties of the loop integrals as functions of complex variable $\mathcal{D}$ (space-time dimensionality) provide a regular way to derive analytical representations of loop…
Let $f \colon X \to Y$ be a morphism of concentrated schemes. We characterize $f$-perfect complexes $\mathcal{E}$ as those such that the functor $\mathcal{E} \otimes^{\mathbf{L}}_X \mathbf{L} f^*-$ preserves bounded complexes. We prove, as…
This work investigates intensive vortices, which are characterised by the existence of a converging radial flow that significantly intensifies the flow rotation. Evolution and amplification of the vorticity present in the flow play…
This text is a slightly edited version of lecture notes for a course I gave at ETH, during the Winter term 2000-2001, to undergraduate Mathematics and Physics students. Contents: Chapter 1 - Examples of Dynamical Systems Chapter 2 -…
In these lecture notes, I describe the motivation behind a recent formulation of a non-perturbative gravitational path integral for Lorentzian (instead of the usual Euclidean) space-times, and give a pedagogical introduction to its main…
Complex numbers enter fundamental physics in at least two rather distinct ways. They are needed in quantum theories to make linear differential operators into Hermitian observables. Complex structures appear also, through Hodge duality, in…
Many enumeration problems in combinatorics, including such fundamental questions as the number of regular graphs, can be expressed as high-dimensional complex integrals. Motivated by the need for a systematic study of the asymptotic…
The extended Lomon-Gari-Kr\"umpelmann model of nucleon electromagnetic form factors, which embodies \rho, \rho', \omega, \omega' and \phi vector meson contributions and the perturbative QCD high momentum transfer behavior has been extended…
Over the past decades, many authors advertised models on complexified spacetime algebras for use in describing gravity. This work aims at providing phenomenological support to such claims, by introducing a one-parameter real phase $\alpha$…
In information theory, the link between continuous information and discrete information is established through well-known sampling theorems. Sampling theory explains, for example, how frequency-filtered music signals are reconstructible…
A general theory of frames of reference proposed in a preceding publication is considered here in the framework of the post-Newtonian approximation, assuming that the frame of reference is centered on a time-like geodesic. The problem of…
