The authors review results implicit in their recent paper [2] on the product/quotient representation of rationals by rationals of the type $( an + b )/ ( An+ B )$ and give a detailed account of a particular related non-intuitive…

A graph $G = (V, E)$ is word-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that, for any two distinct vertices $x, y \in V$, $xy \in E$ if and only if $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$. Two letters $x$ and $y$ are said to…

We study the symbol of the two-loop n-gluon MHV amplitude for all Mandelstam regions in multi-Regge kinematics in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. While the number of distinct Mandelstam regions grows exponentially with n, the increase of…

In this contribution we describe computational tools that permit the evaluation of multi-loop scattering amplitudes in N=8 supergravity, in terms of amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. We also discuss the remarkable ultraviolet…

Let $G=\Sp(2g,\mathbb{Z})$ be the symplectic group over the integers. Given $m\in \mathbb{N}$, it is natural to ask if there exists a non-trivial matrix $A\in G$ such that $A^{m}=I$, where $I$ is the identity matrix in $G$. In this paper,…

Consider a planar polynomial vector field $X$, and assume it admits a symbolic first integral $\mathcal{F}$, i.e. of the $4$ classes, in growing complexity: Rational, Darbouxian, Liouvillian and Riccati. If $\mathcal{F}$ is not rational, it…

We present preliminary results obtained using a new code for $SU (N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory which performs a 2-level sampling of glueball correlators obtained from a suitably chosen basis of (APE) smeared and unsmeared operators. The code…

The form of the spectral curve for $4d$ $N=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with matter fields in the fundamental representation of the gauge group suggests that its $1d$ integrable counterpart should be looked for among (inhomogeneous)…

We show how to make a topological string theory starting from an $N=4$ superconformal theory. The critical dimension for this theory is $\hat c= 2$ ($c=6$). It is shown that superstrings (in both the RNS and GS formulations) and critical…

Using the method of maximal cuts, we construct the complete D-dimensional integrand of the five-loop four-point amplitude of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory, including nonplanar contributions. In the critical dimension where this amplitude…

We study the common splitting fields of symbol algebras of degree $p^m$ over fields $F$ of $\operatorname{char}(F)=p$. We first show that if any finite number of such algebras share a degree $p^m$ simple purely inseparable splitting field,…

Over fields of characteristic zero, we show that for $n=1,d\geq4$ or $n=2,d\geq5$ or $n\geq3, d\geq 2n$, the generic $m$-marked degree-$d$ hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ admits the $m$ marked points as all the rational points. Over…

Let $\mathbb{S}_g$ be the orientable surface of genus $g$. We show that the number of vertex-labelled cubic multigraphs embeddable on $\mathbb{S}_g$ with $2n$ vertices is asymptotically $c_g n^{5(g-1)/2-1}\gamma^{2n}(2n)!$, where $\gamma$…

We study linear relations between color-ordered all-plus amplitudes at one loop in Yang--Mills theory. We show that on general grounds, there are $(n-1)!/2-2$ relations for $n\ge 5$, leaving only two independent color-ordered amplitudes. We…

In [B-G1] and [B-G2], Borisov and Gunnells constructed for each level (N > 1) and for each weight (k > 1) a modular symbol with values in $Sk(\Gamma_1(N))$ using products of Eisenstein series. In this paper we generalize this result by…

Markov numbers, i.e. positive integers appearing in solutions to $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 3xyz$, can be viewed as specializations of cluster variables. The second author and Matsushita gave a generalization of the Markov equation, $x^2 + y^2 +…

We present evidence that loop amplitudes in maximally supersymmetric $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills (SYM) beyond the planar limit share some of the remarkable structures of the planar theory. In particular, we show that through two loops, the…

In this short note, we first associate a new simple undirected graph with a given word over an ordered alphabet of $n$-letters. We will call it the Lyndon graph of that word. Then, we introduce the concept of the Lyndon-word representable…

Given a normal toric algebra $R$, we compute a uniform integer $D = D(R) > 0$ such that the symbolic power $P^{(D N)} \subseteq P^N$ for all $N >0$ and all monomial primes $P$. We compute the multiplier $D$ explicitly in terms of the…

The article gives a ring theoretic perspective on cluster algebras. Gei{\ss}-Leclerc-Schr\"oer prove that all cluster variables in a cluster algebra are irreducible elements. Furthermore, they provide two necessary conditions for a cluster…
