We derive an analytical expression for the magnetochiral birefringence of a dilute diamagnetic chiral molecular medium subjet to a constant magnetic field. We use the single-oscillator model of Condon et al. [1, 2] to describe the optical…
The paper contains a combinatorial theorem (the sequence of Newton polygons of a reccurent sequence of polynomials is quasi-linear) and two applications of it in classical and quantum topology, namely in the behavior of the $A$-polynomial…
The looping pendulum is a simple physical system consisting of two masses connected by a string that passes over a rod. We derive equations of motion for the looping pendulum using Newtonian mechanics, and show that these equations can be…
By using combinatorics, we give a new proof for the recurrence relations of the characteristic polynomial coefficients, and then we obtain an explicit expression for the generic term of the coefficient sequence, which yields the trace…
We introduce and study a new complexity function in combinatorics on words, which takes into account the smallest second occurrence time of a factor of an infinite word. We characterize the eventually periodic words and the Sturmian words…
We study the Jordan frame formulation of generalizations of scalar-tensor theories conceived by replacing the scalar with other fields such as vectors. The generic theory in this family contains higher order time derivative terms in the…
We make precise and prove a conjecture of Klivans about actions of the sandpile group on spanning trees. More specifically, the conjecture states that there exists a unique ``suitably nice'' sandpile torsor structure on plane graphs which…
The paper has three parts. In the first part we apply the theory of commuting pairs of (pseudo) difference operators to the (formal) asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials: using purely geometrical arguments we show heuristically that the…
A gyration is an operation on Poincar\'{e} Duality complexes that arises from a certain surgery on the product of a given complex $N$ and a sphere, parametrised by a chosen twisting. Of particular recent interest is the notion of gyration…
We survey distributional properties of $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued cocycles of finite measure preserving ergodic transformations (or, equivalently, of stationary random walks in $\mathbb{R}^d$) which determine recurrence or transience.
The purpose of this paper is to prove the equivalence$-$under rotations of distinct terms$-$of different forms of a determinantal equation that appears in the studies of wave propagation in Hookean solids, in the context of the Christoffel…
We propose a basis for rational gl(N) spin chains in an arbitrary rectangular representation $(S^A)$ that factorises the Bethe vectors into products of Slater determinants in Baxter Q-functions. This basis is constructed by repeated action…
It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…
What might a combinatorial interpretation of the Kronecker coefficients even look like? We introduce a class of combinatorial objects called bitableaux, which we believe are a natural candidate, and we formulate a purely combinatorial…
The mechanism of the exponential transient statistics of Poincar\'e recurrences in the presence of chaos border with its critical structure is studied using two simple models: separatrix map and the kicked rotator ('microtron'). For the…
We present new exact expressions for a class of moments for the geometric Brownian motion, in terms of determinants, obtained using a recurrence relation and combinatorial arguments for the case of a Ito's Wiener process. We then apply the…
$B$-terms are built from the $B$ combinator alone defined by $B\equiv\lambda fgx. f(g~x)$, which is well known as a function composition operator. This paper investigates an interesting property of $B$-terms, that is, whether repetitive…
The authors of that work [Phys. Rev. D 88, 084014 (2013)], arXiv:1308.4552, derive quantum-mechanical equations valid for the covariant Dirac equation by restricting the choice of the tetrad field through the use of the "Schwinger gauge".…
The paper lays the foundation for the study of unimodular rows using Spin groups. We show that elementary orbits of unimodular rows (of any length $n\geq 3$) are equivalent to elementary Spin orbits on the unit sphere. (This bijection is…
The paper concerns a simple model of bicycle kinematics: a bicycle is represented by an oriented segment of constant length in n-dimensional space that can move in such a way that the velocity of its rear end is aligned with the segment…
