Superconformal symmetry in six-dimensions is analyzed in terms of coordinate transformations on superspace. A superconformal Killing equation is derived and its solutions are identified in terms of supertranslations, dilations, Lorentz…
We generalized to higher dimensions the notions of optical orthogonal codes. We establish uper bounds on the capacity of general $ n $-dimensional OOCs, and on specific types of ideal codes (codes with zero off-peak autocorrelation). The…
Many parametrization and mapping-related problems in geometry processing can be viewed as metric optimization problems, i.e., computing a metric minimizing a functional and satisfying a set of constraints, such as flatness. Penner…
Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the…
In the framework of multidimensional $f(R)$ gravity, we study the metrics of compact extra dimensions assuming that our 4D space has the de Sitter metric. Manifolds described by such metrics could be formed at the inflationary and even…
We consider first order symmetry operators for the equations of motion of differential $p$-form fields in general $D$-dimensional background geometry of any signature for both massless and massive cases. For $p=1$ and $p=2$ we give the…
The question of whether a Sasakian metric can admit an additional compatible (K-)contact structure is addressed. In the complete case if the second structure is also assumed Sasakian, works of Tachibana-Yu and Tanno show that the manifold…
It is well known that exact notions of model abstraction and reduction for dynamical systems may not be robust enough in practice because they are highly sensitive to the specific choice of parameters. In this paper we consider this problem…
We show that every graph of maximum degree three can be drawn in three dimensions with at most two bends per edge, and with 120-degree angles between any two edge segments meeting at a vertex or a bend. We show that every graph of maximum…
The maximally complicated arbitrary-dimensional "maximal" Galileon field equations simplify dramatically for symmetric configurations. Thus, spherical symmetry reduces the equations from the D- to the two-dimensional Monge-Ampere equation,…
We give some examples of the existence of solutions of geometric PDEs (Yamabe equation, Prescribed Scalar Curvature Equation, Gaussian curvature). We also give some remarks on second order PDE and Green functions and on the maximum…
We develop a mathematical theory of symmetry protected trivial (SPT) orders and anomaly-free symmetry enriched topological (SET) orders in all dimensions via two different approaches with an emphasis on the second approach. The first…
We algorithmically characterize the maximal contact number problem for finite congruent lattice sphere packings in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and show that in $\mathbb{R}^3$ this problem is equivalent to determining the maximal coordination of a…
Many problems of systems control theory boil down to solving polynomial equations, polynomial inequalities or polyomial differential equations. Recent advances in convex optimization and real algebraic geometry can be combined to generate…
We completely determine, up to homeomorphism, which simply connected compact oriented 4-manifolds admit scalar-flat, anti-self-dual Riemannian metrics. The key new ingredient is a proof that the connected sum of five reverse-oriented…
We continue the study of model-independent constraints on the unitary Conformal Field Theories in 4-Dimensions, initiated in arXiv:0807.0004. Our main result is an improved upper bound on the dimension \Delta of the leading scalar operator…
We study the physics of 2 and 3 mutually intersecting conformal defects forming wedges and corners in general dimension. For 2 defects we derive the beta function of the edge interactions for infinite and semi-infinite wedges and study them…
We provide an algorithmic approach to the construction of point transformations for scalar ordinary differential equations that admit three-dimensional symmetry algebras which lead to their respective canonical forms.
The symmetry classification method is applied to the string-like scalar fields in two-dimensional space-time. When the configurational space is three-dimensional and reducible we present the complete list of the systems admiting higher…
The scalars in vector multiplets of N=2 supersymmetric theories in 4 dimensions exhibit `special Kaehler geometry', related to duality symmetries, due to their coupling to the vectors. In the literature there is some confusion on the…
