Parity is ubiquitous, but not always identified as a simplifying tool for computations. Using parity, having in mind the example of the bosonic/fermionic Fock space, and the framework of Z_2-graded (super) algebra, we clarify relationships…
By now it is well established that the quantum dimensions of descendants of the adjoint representation can be described in a universal form, independent of a particular family of simple Lie algebras. The Rosso-Jones formula then implies a…
We investigate the interplay between (-1)-form symmetries and their quantum-dual (d-1)-form counterparts within the framework of Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs). In this framework the phenomenon of decomposition -- a…
We introduce the class of outerspatial 2-complexes as the natural generalisation of the class of outerplanar graphs to three dimensions. Answering a question of O-joung Kwon, we prove that a locally 2-connected 2-complex is outerspatial if…
The bienergy of smooth maps between Riemannian manifolds, when restricted to unit vector fields, yields two different variational problems depending on whether one takes the full functional or just the vertical contribution. Their critical…
An obstruction theory for representing homotopy classes of surfaces in 4-manifolds by immersions with pairwise disjoint images is developed, using the theory of non-repeating Whitney towers. The accompanying higher-order intersection…
On every set A there is a rigid binary relation, i.e. such a relation R that there is no homomorphism (A,R)->(A,R) except the identity (Vopenka et al. [1965]). We state two conjectures which strengthen this theorem. We prove these…
The behaviour of limits of weak morphisms in 2-dimensional universal algebra is not 2-categorical in that, to fully express the behaviour that occurs, one needs to be able to quantify over strict morphisms amongst the weaker kinds.…
We consider manifolds endowed with a contact pair structure. To such a structure are naturally associated two almost complex structures. If they are both integrable, we call the structure a normal contact pair. We generalize the Morimoto's…
A general theory of preparational uncertainty relations for a quantum particle in one spatial dimension is developed. We derive conditions which determine whether a given smooth function of the particle's variances and its covariance is…
We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…
We consider a natural question: "Is it true that each homotopy domination of a polyhedron over itself is a homotopy equivalence?" and a strongly related problem of K. Borsuk (1967): "Is it true that two ANR's homotopy dominating each other…
Schmidt decomposition is a widely employed tool of quantum theory which plays a key role for distinguishable particles in scenarios such as entanglement characterization, theory of measurement and state purification. Yet, it is held not to…
We prove that the Gaussian parity on free two-dimensional knots is universal.
A generic computation of a subset A of the natural numbers consists of a a computation that correctly computes most of the bits of A, and which never incorrectly computes any bits of A, but which does not necessarily give an answer for…
We investigate relative holomorphic connections on a principal bundle over a family of compact complex manifolds. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of a relative holomorphic connection on a holomorphic principal bundle over…
We show that the conjugacy class of every pair of automoprhisms of the random poset is meager. This answers a question of Truss; see also Kuske-Truss. EDIT. Work in progress, at the moment there is a gap in the proof of Theorem 2.
We introduce the notion of coupled embeddability, defined for maps on products of topological spaces. We use known results for nonsingular biskew and bilinear maps to generate simple examples and nonexamples of coupled embeddings. We study…
The idea of pairwise paracompactness was studied by many authors in a bitopological space. Here we study the same in the setting of more general structure of a bispace using the thoughts of the same given by Bose et al[2].
We study transnormal and isoparametric functions on closed Riemannian 4-manifolds and establish fundamental restrictions on their topology and geometry. In particular, we show that such manifolds cannot be endowed with negatively curved…
