We show that in any $2n+2$ dimensions, the higher Chern-Simons action built from a semistrict Lie 2-algebra gives a non-trivial higher Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term under a higher gauge transformation. The key point is that the non-zero…

A universal weight function for a quantum affine algebra is a family of functions with values in a quotient of its Borel subalgebra, satisfying certain coalgebraic properties. In representations of the quantum affine algebra it gives…

Domain wall fermions use a $2n$-dimensional spacetime defect embedded in $(2n+1)$-dimensional spacetime to realize massless lattice Dirac fermions. Recent work has extended this idea to realize a single unpaired Weyl fermion in a finite…

A family of Gaussian analytic functions (GAFs) has recently been linked to the Gabor transform of white Gaussian noise [Bardenet et al., 2017]. This answered pioneering work by Flandrin [2015], who observed that the zeros of the Gabor…

Let $n$ be an even number such that $n\equiv 0 \pmod{4}$. We show that a power function $x^d$, with $d=2^{\frac{n+2}{2}}+2^{\frac{n-2}{2}}-1$, on $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ is an APN function of degree $n/2$ which is CCZ-equivalent to Kasami…

String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes, involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the dual nature of polygraphs as presentations of…

In a recent paper, F. Zanello showed that level Artinian algebras in 3 variables can fail to have the Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP), and can even fail to have unimodal Hilbert function. We show that the same is true for the Artinian…

We generalize the usual relationship between irreducible Zariski closed subsets of the affine space, their defining ideals, coordinate rings, and function fields, to a non-commutative setting, where "varieties" carry a PGL_n-action, regular…

Recently the operator algebra, including the twisted affine primary fields, and a set of twisted KZ equations were given for the WZW permutation orbifolds. In the first part of this paper we extend this operator algebra to include the…

We generalize the Callan-Harvey mechanism to the case of actions with a non local mass term for the fermions. Using a 2+1-dimensional model as a concrete example, we show that both the existence and properties of localized zero modes can…

A partial ordering P is said to have the weak Freese-Nation property (WFN) if there is a mapping f:P ---> [P]^{<= aleph_0} such that, for any a, b in P, if a <= b then there exists c in f(a) cap f(b) such that a <= c <= b. In this note, we…

We use operator algebras and operator theory to obtain new result concerning Berezin quantization of compact K\"ahler manifolds. Our main tool is the notion of subproduct systems of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, which enables all…

In this paper, we propose a new class of lattices constructed from polar codes, namely polar lattices, to achieve the capacity $\frac{1}{2}\log(1+\SNR)$ of the additive white Gaussian-noise (AWGN) channel. Our construction follows the…

We investigate the effect of basal-plane stacking faults on the structural, electronic, and polarization properties of wurtzite GaN and ZnO. This theoretical study is performed within density-functional theory (DFT) using periodic hexagonal…

Extending our earlier work on PSL(2|2), we explain how to reduce the solution of WZNW models on general type I supergroups to those defined on the bosonic subgroup. The new analysis covers in particular the supergroups GL(M|N) along with…

The class of quasi-Polish spaces admits several equivalent representations, including UF spaces, NP spaces, $\mathbf{\Pi}_2^0$ subspaces of $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N})$, and sober spaces of countably presented frames. In this paper, we…

We give a recursive formula for purely real Welschinger invariants of the following real Del Pezzo surfaces: the projective plane blown up at $q$ real and $s \leq 1$ pairs of conjugate imaginary points, where $q+2s\le 5$, and the real…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, and let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional space over the field GF$(q)$. A $Z_p$-valued function $C$ on the set of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$ is called a $k$-uniform $Z_p$-null design of strength $t$ if for…

We construct a sequence ${\phi_i(\cdot-j)\mid j\in{\ZZ}, i=1,...,r}$ which constitutes a $p$-frame for the weighted shift-invariant space [V^p_{\mu}(\Phi)=\Big{\sum\limits_{i=1}^r\sum\limits_{j\in{\mathbb{Z}}}c_i(j)\phi_i(\cdot-j) \Big|…

The present paper is devoted to discussing Gale duality from the Z-linear algebraic point of view. This allows us to isolate the class of Q-factorial complete toric varieties whose class group is torsion free, here called poly weighted…
