The volume of on-shell D=4, N=8 superspace is shown to vanish. Despite this, it is shown that there is a fully supersymmetric and duality-invariant candidate d^8 R^4 counterterm corresponding to an anticipated seven-loop logarithmic…
Let $\Pi$ be a polar space of type $\textsf{D}_{n}$. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{\delta}(\Pi)$, $\delta\in \{+,-\}$ the associated half-spin Grassmannians and write $\Gamma_{\delta}(\Pi)$ for the corresponding half-spin Grassmann graphs. In…
We present the first example of a grand unified theory (GUT) with a modular symmetry interpreted as a family symmetry. The theory is based on supersymmetric $SU(5)$ in 6d, where the two extra dimensions are compactified on a…
A partitioned matroid $(M, \{X_1,X_2,\dots,X_n\})$ consists of a matroid $M$ and a partition $\{X_1,X_2,\dots,X_n\}$ of its ground set. As such structures arise frequently in structural matroid theory, this paper introduces a general…
We report the first experimental evidence that electromagnetic coupling between physically separated planar metal patterns located in parallel planes provides for exceptionally strong polarization rotatory power if one pattern is twisted in…
From May to July 2004, the central radian of the Galactic Plane was scanned by the H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) telescopes at energies above 200 GeV. This survey was performed from -$3^o$ to +$3^o$ in latitude, for a total of…
We prove that the $E_8$ root lattice and the Leech lattice are universally optimal among point configurations in Euclidean spaces of dimensions $8$ and $24$, respectively. In other words, they minimize energy for every potential function…
We study elliptic vortices on $\mathbb{C}\times T^2$ by considering the 2d quiver gauge theory describing their moduli spaces. The elliptic genus of these moduli spaces is the elliptic version of vortex partition function of the 4d theory.…
This paper is concerned with a compatible family of 4-dimensional \ell-adic representations \rho_{\ell} of G_\Q:=\Gal(\bar \Q/\Q) attached to the space of weight 3 cuspforms S_3 (\Gamma) on a noncongruence subgroup \Gamma \subset \SL. For…
We give a new construction of the outer automorphism of the symmetric group on six points. Our construction features a complex Hadamard matrix of order six containing third roots of unity and the algebra of split quaternions over the real…
We conduct a systematic study of the Ehrhart theory of certain slices of rectangular prisms. Our polytopes are generalizations of the hypersimplex and are contained in the larger class of polypositroids introduced by Lam and Postnikov;…
This paper shows that orbital equations generated by iteration of polynomial maps do not have necessarily a unique representation. Remarkably, they may be represented in an infinity of ways, all interconnected by certain nonlinear…
We study the minimal unitary representation (minrep) of SO(6,2) over an Hilbert space of functions of five variables, obtained by quantizing its quasiconformal realization. The minrep of SO(6,2), which coincides with the minrep of SO*(8)…
Let $k$ be an arbitrary field. The main aim of this paper is to prove the Tits-Weiss conjecture for Albert division algebras over $k$ which are pure first Tits constructions. This conjecture asserts that for an Albert division algebra $A$…
We study generic conformally flat (local-)hypersurfaces in the Euclidean 4-space $\mathbb{R}^4$. Such a hypersurface $f$ has the dual (hypersurface) $f^*$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$, which is also generic and conformally flat. By repeating the…
When W is a finite Coxeter group of classical type (A, B, or D), noncrossing partitions associated to W and compatibility of almost positive roots in the associated root system are known to be modeled by certain planar diagrams. We show how…
We prove that the ring of Weyl invariant $E_8$ weak Jacobi forms is isomorphic to that of joint covariants of a binary sextic and a binary quartic form. The ring is therefore finitely generated. A minimal basis of generators is obtained…
We classify four-dimensional effective field theories (EFTs) with enhanced soft limits, which arise due to non-linearly realised symmetries on the Goldstone modes of such theories. We present an algorithm for deriving all possible algebras…
Novel extended networks of C8, Si8 and silicon carbide Si4C4 are proposed based on crystal chemistry rationale and optimized structures to ground state energies and derived physical properties within the density functional theory (DFT). The…
The Eichler-Shimura isomorphism realizes the automorphic representation generated by an automorphic newform in certain cohomology of an arithmetic group. In this short note, we give a cohomological interpretation of the Eichler-Shimura…
