Let $M$ be a finitely generated skew field over a ground field $k$, and let $G$ be a finite group of $k$-linear automorphisms of $M$. This paper investigates finite generation of the skew subfield $M^G$ of $G$-invariants in $M$, and…

Given the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of a finite-volume complete hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$, it is possible to associate to any representation $\rho:\Gamma \rightarrow \text{Isom}(\mathbb{H}^3)$ a numerical invariant called volume. This…

We consider the XY spin chain with arbitrary time-dependent magnetic field and anisotropy. We argue that a certain subclass of Gaussian states, called Coherent Ensemble (CE) following [1], provides a natural and unified framework for…

Let the circle act in a Hamiltonian fashion on a compact symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ of dimension $2n$. Then the $S^1$-action has at least $n+1$ fixed points. We study the case when the fixed point set consists of precisely $n+1$…

This paper studies Hamiltonian circle actions, i.e. circle subgroups of the group Ham(M,\om) of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold (M,\om). Our main tool is the Seidel representation of \pi_1(\Ham(M,\om)) in the…

The results of Culler and Shalen for 2,3 or 4-free hyperbolic 3-manifolds are contingent on properties specific to and special about rank two subgroups of a free group. Here we determine what construction and algebraic information is…

The Motzkin spin chain is a spin-1 model introduced in \cite{shor} as an example of a system exhibiting a high degree of quantum fluctuations whose ground state can be mapped to Motzkin paths that are generated with local equivalence moves.…

We extend our previous analysis of Riemannian four-manifolds M admitting rigid supersymmetry to N=1 theories that do not possess a U(1)_R symmetry. With one exception, we find that M must be a Hermitian manifold. However, the presence of…

We prove a version of the strong half-space theorem between the classes of recurrent minimal surfaces and complete minimal surfaces with bounded curvature of $\mathbb{R}^{3}_{\raisepunct{.}}$ We also show that any minimal hypersurface…

We establish a global rigidity theorem for Riemannian metrics without conjugate points on three-manifolds of the form $M = \Sigma \times S^1$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact orientable surface of genus at least 2. The main result states that…

We revisit the problem of the surface superconductivity nucleation focusing on the detailed study of the critical field $H_{c3}$ as a function of temperature and disorder. Using the semiclassical Eilenberger formalism we find that away from…

In symmetric Hamiltonian systems, relative equilibria usually arise in continuous families. The geometry of these families in the setting of free actions of the symmetry group is well-understood. Here we consider the question for non-free…

The asymptotically flat structure of $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ supergravity in three spacetime dimensions is explored. The asymptotic symmetries are spanned by an extension of the super-BMS$_3$ algebra, with two independent $\hat{u}(1)$ currents…

We introduce $\Delta$-groups and show how they fit in the context of lattice field theory. To a manifold $M$ we associate a $\Delta$-group $\Gamma(M)$. We define the symmetric cohomology $HS^n(G,A)$ of a group $G$ with coefficients in a…

We study the closures of subgroups, semilattices and different kinds of semigroup extensions in semitopological inverse semigroups with continuous inversion. In particularly we show that a topological group $G$ is $H$-closed in the class of…

Any action of a group $\Gamma$ on $\mathbb H^3$ by isometries yields a class in degree three bounded cohomology by pulling back the volume cocycle to $\Gamma$. We prove that the bounded cohomology of finitely generated Kleinian groups…

For any g>1 we construct a graph G_g in S^3 whose exterior M_g supports a complete finite-volume hyperbolic structure with one toric cusp and a connected geodesic boundary of genus g. We compute the canonical decomposition and the isometry…

Generalized symmetries often appear in the form of emergent symmetries in low energy effective descriptions of quantum many-body systems. Non-invertible symmetries are a particularly exotic class of generalized symmetries, in that they are…

Let $M$ be a complete connected Riemannian manifold with boundary $\pp M$, $Q$ a bounded continuous function on $\pp M$, and $L= \DD+Z$ for a $C^1$-vector field $Z$ on $M$. By using the reflecting diffusion process generated by $L$ and its…

We construct knots in S^3 with Heegaard splittings of arbitrarily high distance, in any genus. As an application, for any positive integers t and b we find a tunnel number t knot in the three-sphere which has no (t,b)-decomposition.
