Using the non-canonical model of scalar field, the cosmological consequences of a pervasive, self-interacting, homogeneous and rolling scalar field are studied. In this model, the scalar field potential is nonlinear and decreases in…
The main results of this paper are twofold: the first one is a matrix theoretical result. We say that a matriz is superregular if all of its minors that are not trivially zero are nonzero. Given a a times b, a larger than or equal to b,…
From the simplest point of view, transseries are a new kind of expansion for real-valued functions. But transseries constitute much more than that--they have a very rich (algebraic, combinatorial, analytic) structure. The set of transseries…
In general relativity with vector and scalar fields given by the Lagrangian ${\cal L}(F,\phi,X)$, where $F$ is a Maxwell term and $X$ is a kinetic term of the scalar field $\phi$, we study the linear stability of static and spherically…
Many automatic sequences, such as the Thue-Morse sequence or the Rudin-Shapiro sequence, have some desirable features of pseudorandomness such as a large linear complexity and a small well-distribution measure. However, they also have some…
We introduce and study a generalization of the notion of exact operator space that we call subexponential. Using Random Matrices we show that the factorization results of Grothendieck type that are known in the exact case all extend to the…
We prove that if a homogeneous, continuously differentiable vector field is asymptotically stable, then it admits a Lyapunov function which is the ratio of two polynomials (i.e., a rational function). We further show that when the vector…
In various supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model there appear non-topological solitons due to the existence of U(1) global symmetries associated with Baryon and/or Lepton quantum numbers. Trilinear couplings (A-terms) in the…
Based on the hyperboloidal framework, we research the dynamical process of charged de Sitter black holes scattered by a charged scalar field. From the linear perturbation analysis, with the coupling strength within a critical interval, the…
Extending the work of Freese and Cook, which develop the basic theory of calculus and power series over real associative algebras, we examine what can be said about the logarithmic functions over an algebra. In particular, we find that for…
Let T_n denote the set of log canonical thresholds of pairs (X,Y), with X a nonsingular variety of dimension n, and Y a nonempty closed subscheme of X. Using non-standard methods, we show that every limit of a decreasing sequence in T_n…
It is proven that, contrarily to the common belief, the notion of zero is not necessary for having positional representations of numbers. Namely, for any positive integer $k$, a positional representation with the symbols for $1, 2, \ldots,…
We explore the nonlinear dynamics of classical field theories containing ghost degrees of freedom, focusing on two coupled scalar fields with opposite kinetic terms in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Using a spacetime…
In this paper, we prove the codimension-one nonlinear asymptotic stability of the extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om family of black holes in the spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell-neutral scalar field model, up to and including the event…
Let surreal numbers be defined by means of sign sequences. We give a proof that if $S < T$ are sets of surreals, then there is some surreal $w$ such that $S < w < T$. The classical proof is simplified by observing that, for every set $S$ of…
The logarithmic running of marginal double-trace operators is a general feature of 4-d field theories containing scalar fields in the adjoint or bifundamental representation. Such operators provide leading contributions in the large N…
Superconformal algebras embedding space-time in any dimension and signature are considered. Different real forms of the $R$-symmetries arise both for usual space-time signature (one time) and for Euclidean or exotic signatures (more than…
Motivated by intuitive properties of physical quantities, the notion of a non-anomalous semigroup is formulated. These are totally ordered semigroups where there are no `infinitesimally close' elements. The real numbers are then defined as…
I review a particular class of physical applications of Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory in strings propagating in changing (not necessarily conformal) backgrounds, namely D-brane recoil in flat or time-dependent cosmological backgrounds.…
This paper discusses a general and useful stability principle which, roughly speaking, says that given a uniformly continuous function defined on an arbitrary metric space, if the function is bounded on the constraint set and we slightly…
