Recall first the algebraic treatment of flows or tensions in a transportation network $N$, i.e. a connected antisymmetric 1-graph $G(X, U)$. Assume that, unusually, we take the values of flows (resp. tensions) in $\mathbb{C}$. So the…

Constrained symplectic quantization is a functional formulation of quantum field theory in which quantum fluctuations are sampled through a deterministic Hamiltonian flow in an auxiliary intrinsic time $\tau$. In this paper we extend the…

We define a novel class of tensor networks motivated by the Python's Lunch Conjecture (PLC) in local tensor network models of the black hole interior. We start from the observation that, for extended black brane states with short-range…

Topological techniques are used to study the motions of systems of point vortices in the infinite plane, in singly-periodic arrays, and in doubly-periodic lattices. The reduction of each system using its symmetries is described in detail.…

We consider N single server infinite buffer queues with service rate \beta. Customers arrive at rate N\alpha, choose L queues uniformly, and join the shortest. We study the processes R^N for large N, where R^N_t(k) is the fraction of queues…

Low-dimensional descriptions of large systems of coupled oscillators and spiking neurons rely heavily on the Lorentzian Ansatz. We show that its privileged role is geometric rather than heuristic: for the transport induced by Riccati…
