We construct a new model with exponential mass hierarchy by starting with the Einstein-Hilbert action with the cosmological constant in five dimensions plus an action describing many domain walls in four dimensions. The model includes many…
We show how to represent a class of expressions involving discrete sums over partitions as matrix models. We apply this technique to the partition functions of 2* theories, i.e. Seiberg-Witten theories with the massive hypermultiplet in the…
In this paper a general theory of semi-classical matrix orthogonal polynomials is developed. We define the semi-classical linear functionals by means of a distributional equation $D(u A) = u B,$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrix polynomials.…
We study heterotic vacua with four supercharges in three and four space-time dimensions and their duals obtained as M/F-theory compactified on Calabi-Yau fourfolds. We focus on their respective moduli spaces and derive the Kahler potential…
We study the differential identities of the algebra $M_k(F)$ of $k\times k$ matrices over a field $F$ of characteristic zero when its full Lie algebra of derivations, $L=\mbox{Der}(M_k(F))$, acts on it. We determine a set of 2 generators of…
We introduce a new duality for $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauged matrix models. This $0d$ duality is an order 4 symmetry, namely an equivalence between four different theories, hence we call it Quadrality. Our proposal is motivated by…
This course, intended for undergraduates familiar with elementary calculus and linear algebra, introduces the extension of differential calculus to functions on more general vector spaces, such as functions that take as input a matrix and…
The properties of the vortex and the gradient of divergence operators ( $ \text{rot}$ and $\nabla \text{div}$ ) are studied in the space $ \mathbf {L}_2 (G) $ in a bounded domain $ G \subset \textrm {R}^3 $ with a smooth boundary $ \Gamma$…
We initiate a systematic study of intrinsic dimensional versions of classical functional inequalities which capture refined properties of the underlying objects. We focus on model spaces: Euclidean space, Hamming cube, and manifolds of…
A finite-dimensional pseudo-unitary framework is set up for describing the dynamics of free elementary particles in a purely relativistic quantum mechanical way. States of any individual particles or antiparticles are defined as suitably…
The spline space $C_k^r(\Delta)$ attached to a subdivided domain $\Delta$ of $\R^{d} $ is the vector space of functions of class $C^{r}$ which are polynomials of degree $\le k$ on each piece of this subdivision. Classical splines on planar…
We introduce a new class of duality symmetries amongst quantum field theories. The new class is based upon global spacetime symmetries, such as Poincare invariance and supersymmetry, in the same way as the existing duality transformations…
This is the first in a series of papers addressing the phenomenon of dimensional transmutation in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics within the framework of dimensional regularization. Scale-invariant potentials are identified and their…
Discrete symmetries play an important role in several extensions of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. For instance, in order to avoid flavor changing neutral currents, a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry is imposed on the Two-Higgs-Doublet…
Lectures presented at the 33rd Karpacz Winter School ``Duality: Strings and Fields'' briefly introducing dualities in four-dimensional quantum field theory, and summarizing results found in supersymmetric field theories. The first lecture…
Using the fact that the algebra M(3,C) of 3 x 3 complex matrices can be taken as a reduced quantum plane, we build a differential calculus Omega(S) on the quantum space S defined by the algebra C^\infty(M) \otimes M(3,C), where M is a…
We define the lower and upper mutual dimensions $mdim(x:y)$ and $Mdim(x:y)$ between any two points $x$ and $y$ in Euclidean space. Intuitively these are the lower and upper densities of the algorithmic information shared by $x$ and $y$. We…
In braneworld models, Space-Time-Matter and other Kaluza-Klein theories, our spacetime is devised as a four-dimensional hypersurface {\it orthogonal} to the extra dimension in a five-dimensional bulk. We show that the FRW line element can…
Complexified spacetime algebra is defined as the geometric (Clifford) algebra of spacetime with complex coefficients, isomorphic $\mathcal{G}_{1,4}$. By resorting to matrix representation by means of Dirac-Pauli gamma matrices, the paper…
We propose halfspace depth concepts for scatter, concentration and shape matrices. For scatter matrices, our concept is similar to those from Chen, Gao and Ren (2017) and Zhang (2002). Rather than focusing, as in these earlier works, on…
