We show that periodically doped, flat surfaces can act as reflective diffraction gratings for atomic and molecular matter waves. The diffraction element is realized by exploiting that charged dopants locally suppress quantum reflection from…

We set up some basic module theory over semirings, with particular attention to what is needed in scheme theory over semirings. We show that while not all the usual definitions of vector bundle agree over semirings, all the usual…

We discuss an interesting duality known to occur for certain complex reflection groups, namely the duality groups. Our main construction yields a concrete, representation theoretic realisation of this duality. This allows us to naturally…

Let $V$ be a vector space endowed with a non-degenerate quadratic form $Q$. If the base field $\mathbb{F}$ is different from $\mathbb{F}_2$, it is known that every isometry can be written as a product of reflections. In this article, we…

The reflection principle is the statement that if a sentence is provable then it is true. Reflection principles have been studied for first-order theories, but they also play an important role in propositional proof complexity. In this…

Given a partial action $\theta$ of a group on a set with an algebraic structure, we construct a reflector of $\theta$ in the corresponding subcategory of global actions and study the question when this reflector is a globalization. In…

We propose that observables in quantum theory are properly understood as representatives of symmetry-invariant quantities relating one system to another, the latter to be called a reference system. We provide a rigorous mathematical…

We develop a gauge-theoretical framework to investigate the quanta of surface plasmons. Our formulation, based on quantum electrodynamics, highlights the importance of residual gauge symmetry. We emphasize that residual gauge symmetry,…

In the present paper, we introduce the new construction of quandles. For a group $G$ and its subset $A$ we construct a quandle $Q(G,A)$ which is called the $(G,A)$-quandle and study properties of this quandle. In particular, we prove that…

Induced representations for quantum groups are defined starting from coisotropic quantum subgroups and their main properties are proved. When the coisotropic quantum subgroup has a suitably defined section such representations can be…

We introduce the construction of induced corepresentations in the setting of locally compact quantum groups and prove that the resulting induced corepresentations are unitary under some mild integrability condition. We also establish a…

Quantum machine learning, as an extension of classical machine learning that harnesses quantum mechanics, facilitates effiient learning from data encoded in quantum states. Training a quantum neural network typically demands a substantial…

Quantum sphere is introduced as a quotient of the so-called Reflection Equation Algebra. This enables us to construct some line bundles on it by means of the Cayley-Hamilton identity whose a quantum version was discovered in \cite{PS},…

A commutative semigroup of abstract factorials is defined in the context of the ring of integers. We study such factorials for their own sake, whether they are or are not connected to sets of integers. Given a subset X of the positive…

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a large class of $\mathfrak{g}$-module algebras which we call factorizable by generalizing the Gauss factorization of (square or rectangular) matrices. This class includes coordinate algebras…

We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.

We give a brief account of a construction called tokens here, which is significant in algebra, analysis, combinatorics, and physics. Tokens allow to express a semigroup on one set via a semigroup convolution on another set. Therefore tokens…
