Interactions of gauge-invariant systems are severely constrained by several consistency requirements. One is the preservation of the number of gauge symmetries, another is causal propagation. For lower-spin fields, the emphasis is usually…

The characteristic forms in the bundle of connections of a principal bundle P over M determine the characteristic classes of P for degree less or equal to the dimension of M, and differential forms on the space of connections for higher…

We treat the question of base-change in $THH$ for faithful Galois extensions of ring spectra in the sense of Rognes. Given a faithful Galois extension $A \to B$ of ring spectra, we consider whether the map $THH(A) \otimes_A B \to THH(B)$ is…

We present an approach that gives rigorous construction of a class of crossing invariant functions in $c=1$ CFTs from the weakly invariant distributions on the moduli space $\mathcal M_{0,4}^{SL(2,\mathbb{C})}$ of $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ flat…

Donaldson-Thomas theory on a Calabi-Yau can be described in terms of a certain six-dimensional cohomological gauge theory. We introduce a certain class of defects in this gauge theory which generalize surface defects in four dimensions.…

We prove the Effective Bogomolov Conjecture, and so the Bogomolov Conjecture, over a function field of characteristic 0 by proving Zhang's Conjecture about certain invariants of metrized graphs. In the function field case, these conjectures…

Twirling, i.e. averaging over symmetry actions, is a standard tool for reducing quantum states and channels to a symmetry-invariant form. We study channel twirling from the perspective of the channel-state duality and provide a constructive…

The existence of invariant transversals for a normal subgroup $H$ in a group $G$ is investigated. This yields counterexamples to a conjecture in case $H$ is abelian and $G$ is finite.

Let F be a nonarchimedean local field and let G = GL(n) = GL(n,F). Let E/F be a finite Galois extension. We investigate base change E/F at two levels: at the level of algebraic varieties, and at the level of K-theory. We put special…

The goal of the article is to improve constants in the infimum convolution inequalities (IC for short) which were introduced by R. Lata{\l}a and J.O. Wojtaszczyk. We show that the exponential distribution satisfies IC with constant $2$ but…

We study the analogue of Sidki's weak commutativity construction, defined originally for groups, in the category of Lie algebras. This is the quotient $\chi(\mathfrak{g})$ of the Lie algebra freely generated by two isomorphic copies…

A self-consistent theory of shot noise in ballistic two-terminal conductors under the action of long-range Coulomb correlations is presented. Analytical formulas for the electron distribution function and its fluctuation along the…

The rational cohomology of the moduli space of rank two, odd degree stable bundles over a curve (of genus g > 1) has been studied intensely in recent years and in particular the invariant subring generated by Newstead's generators alpha,…

Abelian gauge theory in $d\neq 4$ spacetime dimensions is an example of a scale invariant theory which does not possess conformal symmetry -- the special conformal transformation(SCT) explicitly breaks the gauge invariance of the theory. In…

We present abstraction techniques that transform a given non-linear dynamical system into a linear system or an algebraic system described by polynomials of bounded degree, such that, invariant properties of the resulting abstraction can be…

Inspired by several works on jet schemes and motivic integration, we consider an extension to singular varieties of the classical definition of discrepancy for morphisms of smooth varieties. The resulting invariant, which we call Jacobian…

The covariant form of the non-Abelian gauge anomaly on noncommutative R2n is computed for U(N) groups. Its origin and properties are analyzed. Its connection with the consistent form of the gauge anomaly is established. We show along the…

Deep neural networks can obtain impressive performance on various tasks under the assumption that their training domain is identical to their target domain. Performance can drop dramatically when this assumption does not hold. One…

We formulate a twisted version of the conjectured duality between heterotic and type I string theories. Our formulation relates the chiral part of the heterotic string with a type I topological B-model on a Calabi-Yau five-fold. We provide…

In this paper we briefly survey the classical problem of understanding which Lie algebras admit a complex structure, put in the broader perspective of almost complex structures with special properties. We focus on the different behavior of…
