Non-minimal renormalisation schemes such as the momentum subtraction scheme (MOM) have frequently been used for physical computations. The consistency of such a scheme relies on the existence of a coupling redefinition linking it to MSbar.…
Distributions of Monge type are a class of strongly regular bracket-generating distributions introduced by I. Anderson, Zh. Nie and P. Nurowski. Their symbol algebras prolong to simple graded Lie algebras, thus allowing one to associate a…
We study the diffusion of Brownian particles on the surface of a sphere and compute the distribution of solid angles enclosed by the diffusing particles. This function describes the distribution of geometric phases in two state quantum…
Dispersive deformations of the Monge equation u_u=uu_x are studied using ideas originating from topological quantum field theory and the deformation quantization programme. It is shown that, to a high-order, the symmetries of the Monge…
Holomorphic almost modular forms are holomorphic functions of the complex upper half plane which can be approximated arbitrarily well (in a suitable sense) by modular forms of congruence subgroups of large index in $\SL(2,\ZZ)$. It is…
We present a normal form for travelling waves in one-dimensional excitable media in form of a differential delay equation. The normal form is built around the well-known saddle-node bifurcation generically present in excitable media. Finite…
We consider the surface diffusion and Willmore flows acting on a general class of (possibly non-compact) hypersurfaces parameterized over a uniformly regular reference manifold possessing a tubular neighborhood with uniform radius. The…
We introduce a notion of normal form for transversely projective structures of singular foliations on complex manifolds. Our first main result says that this normal form exists and is unique when ambient space is two-dimensional. From this…
Normality equations describe Newtonian dynamical systems admitting normal shift of hypersurfaces. They were first derived in Euclidean geometry, then in Riemannian geometry. Recently they were rederived in more general case, when geometry…
We propose a generalized Langevin formalism to describe transport in combs and similar ramified structures. Our approach consists of a Langevin equation without drift for the motion along the backbone. The motion along the secondary…
If $(M,g)$ and $(\hM,\hg)$ are two smooth connected complete oriented Riemannian manifolds of dimensions $n$ and $\hn$ respectively, we model the rolling of $(M,g)$ onto $(\hM,\hg)$ as a driftless control affine systems describing two…
This paper contains theory on two related topics relevant to manifolds of normally hyperbolic singularities. First, theorems on the formal and $ C^k $ normal forms for these objects are proved. Then, the theorems are applied to give…
An expression for the first variation of the area functional of the second fundamental form is given for a hypersurface in a semi-Riemannian space. The concept of the "mean curvature of the second fundamental form" is then introduced. Some…
This paper surveys some combinatorial aspects of Smith normal form, and more generally, diagonal form. The discussion includes general algebraic properties and interpretations of Smith normal form, critical groups of graphs, and Smith…
Monge-Amp\`ere equations of the form, $u_{xx}u_{yy}-u_{xy}^2=F(u,u_x,u_y)$ arise in many areas of fluid and solid mechanics. Here it is shown that in the special case $F=u_y^4f(u, u_x/u_y)$, where $f$ denotes an arbitrary function, the…
Evaluation of the angular distribution function of particles scattered in an amorphous medium is improved by deforming the integration path in the Fourier integral representation into the complex plane. That allows us to present the…
Solitons, which describe the propagation of concentrated beams of light through nonlinear media, can exhibit a variety of behaviors as a result of the intrinsic dissipation, diffraction, and the nonlinear effects. One of these phenomena,…

We prove the existence of a smoothing for a toroidal crossing space under mild assumptions. By linking log structures with infinitesimal deformations, the result receives a very compact form for normal crossing spaces. The main approach is…
A notion of {\em normal submonoid} of a monoid $M$ is introduced that generalizes the normal subgroups of a group. When ordered by inclusion, the set $\mathsf{NorSub}(M)$ of normal submonoids of $M$ is a complete lattice. Joins are…
