We use various topological operations to systematically study phase transitions between theories with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and time reversal symmetry in two spacetime dimensions. The phases (and accompanying CFTs) we consider come in two types -…
We reconsider the study of the geometric transitions and brane/flux dualities in various dimensions. We first give toric interpretations of the topology changing transitions in the Calabi-Yau conifold and the $Spin(7)$ manifold. The latter,…
In this paper we are interested in computability aspects of subshifts and in particular Turing degrees of 2-dimensional SFTs (i.e. tilings). To be more precise, we prove that given any \pizu subset $P$ of $\{0,1\}^\NN$ there is a SFT $X$…
Dendric shifts are defined by combinatorial restrictions of the extensions of the words in their languages. This family generalizes well-known families of shifts such as Sturmian shifts, Arnoux-Rauzy shifts and codings of interval exchange…
An important question in dynamical systems is the classification problem, i.e., the ability to distinguish between two isomorphic systems. In this work, we study the topological factors between a family of multidimensional substitutive…
For a ${\mathbb Z}^{d}$-topological dynamical system $(X, T, {\mathbb Z}^{d})$, an isomomorphism is a self-homeomorphism $\phi : X\to X$ such that for some matrix $M\in {\rm GL}(d,{\mathbb Z})$ and any ${n}\in {\mathbb Z}^{d}$, $\phi\circ…
We propose a new method for studying the anomaly of magnetic susceptibility $\chi$ that indicates a phase transition for quantum spin systems. In addition, we introduce the fourth derivative $A$ of the lowest energy eigenvalue per site with…
Bidouble covers $\pi : S \mapsto Q$ of the quadric Q are parametrized by connected families depending on four positive integers a,b,c,d. In the special case where b=d we call them abc-surfaces. Such a Galois covering $\pi$ admits a small…
Treating the two-dimensional Minkowski space as a Wick rotated version of the complex plane, we characterize the causal automorphisms in two-dimensional Minkowski space as the M\"{a}rzke-Wheeler maps of a certain class of observers. We also…
This paper studies algebraic and analytic structures associated with the Lerch zeta function, extending the complex variables viewpoint taken in part II. The Lerch transcendent $\Phi(s, z, c)$ is obtained from the Lerch zeta function…
We first find an explicit formula for the square root of positive $2 \times 2$ operator matrices with commuting entries, and then use it to define and study semi-hyponormality for commuting pairs of Hilbert space operators. \ For the…
According to the celebrated Jaworski Theorem, a finite dimensional aperiodic dynamical system $(X,T)$ embeds in the $1$-dimensional cubical shift $([0,1]^{\mathbb{Z}},shift)$. If $X$ admits periodic points (still assuming $\dim(X)<\infty$)…
In this short review paper the detailed analysis of six two-dimensional quantum {\it superintegrable} systems in flat space is presented. It includes the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials I-II (the Holt potential), the Fokas-Lagerstrom…
Self-dual Yang-Mills theory admits an underlying infinite dimensional symmetry algebra, which has been obtained from mode expansion of Mellin transformed 4d scattering amplitudes and separately, Koszul duality on twistor space. In this…
We study the restriction of the Bump-Friedberg integrals to affine lines $\{(s+\alpha,2s),s\in\C\}$. It has a simple theory, very close to that of the Asai $L$-function. It is an integral representation of the product…
The two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ Wess-Zumino (WZ) model with a cubic superpotential is numerically studied with a momentum-cutoff regularization that preserves supersymmetry. A numerical algorithm based on the Nicolai map is employed…
Let $\mathcal{W}$ be the corresponding wandering subspace of an invariant subspace of the Bergman shift. By identifying the Bergman space with $H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)\ominus[z-w]$, a sufficient and necessary conditions of a closed subspace of…
The following questions are germane to our understanding of gauge-(in)variant quantities and physical possibility: how are gauge transformations and spacetime diffeomorphisms understood as symmetries, in which ways are they similar, and in…
Theta-graphs are a type of spatial graph with two vertices connected by three edges. We investigate embeddings of theta-graphs in the square and simple cubic lattices, using a combination of the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo method with a variant…
Let $\Gamma$ be a group of type rotating automorphisms of a building $\cB$ of type $\widetilde A_2$, and suppose that $\Gamma$ acts freely and transitively on the vertex set of $\cB$. The apartments of $\cB$ are tiled by triangles, labelled…
