We demonstrate a novel strong law of large numbers for branching processes, with a simple proof via measure-theoretic manipulations and spine theory. Roughly speaking, any sequence of events that eventually occurs almost surely for the…
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…
The generalized Jeffreys-type law is formulated as a multi-term time-fractional Jeffreys-type equation, whose dynamics exhibit rich scaling crossover phenomena entailing different diffusion mechanisms. In this work, we provide a novel…
In a quantum theory of gravity the gravitational Wilson loop, defined as a suitable quantum average of a parallel transport operator around a large near-planar loop, provides important information about the large-scale curvature properties…
When approximating the joint distribution of the component counts of a decomposable combinatorial structure that is `almost' in the logarithmic class, but nonetheless has irregular structure, it is useful to be able first to establish that…
The prediction of the strong coupling constant in grand unified theories is reviewed, first in the standard model, then in the supersymmetric version. Various corrections are considered. The predictions in both supergravity-induced and…
We apply our previously developed approach to marginal quartic interactions in multiscalar QFTs, which shows that one-loop RG flows can be described in terms of a commutative algebra, to various models in 4d. We show how the algebra can be…
We study the level lines of a Gaussian free field in a planar domain with general boundary data $F$. We show that the level lines exist as continuous curves under the assumption that $F$ is regulated (i.e., admits left and right limits at…
We generalize the optimal coupling theorem to multiple random variables: Given a collection of random variables, it is possible to couple all of them so that any two differ with probability comparable to the total-variation distance between…
We consider large uniform labeled random graphs in different classes with prescribed decorations in their modular decomposition. Our main result is the estimation of the number of copies of every graph as an induced subgraph. As a…
We develop a probabilistic approach to the celebrated Jacobian conjecture, which states that any Keller map (i.e. any polynomial mapping $F\colon \mathbb{C}^n \to \mathbb{C}^n$ whose Jacobian determinant is a nonzero constant) has a…
Given a simply connected planar domain D, distinct points x,y \in \partial D, and \kappa >0, the Schramm-Loewner evolution SLE_\kappa is a random continuous non-self-crossing path in the closure of D from x to y. The…
Coupling the galileons to a curved background has been a tradeoff between maintaining second order equations of motion, maintaining the galilean shift symmetries, and allowing the background metric to be dynamical. We propose a construction…
SLE is a random growth process based on Loewner's equation with driving parameter a one-dimensional Brownian motion running with speed $\kappa$. This process is intimately connected with scaling limits of percolation clusters and with the…
We consider the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE$_\kappa$) with $\kappa=4$, the critical value of $\kappa > 0$ at or below which SLE$_\kappa$ is a simple curve and above which it is self-intersecting. We show that the range of an SLE$_4$…
We use recently obtained 2-loop string coupling constants to analyze a class of string models based on orbifold compactification. Assuming weak coupling at the string scale and single-scale unification leads to restrictions on the spectrum…
We numerically study the flow of dense granular materials between parallel plates driven by an external force. The granular materials form a jammed solid-like state when the external force is below a critical force, while they flow like…
In 2004, Kim and Vu conjectured that, when $d=\omega(\log n)$, the random $d$-regular graph $G_d(n)$ can be sandwiched with high probability between two random binomial graphs $G(n,p)$ with edge probabilities asymptotically equal to…
In the high energy Regge limit, the six gluons scattering amplitude is controlled by the adjoint BFKL eigenvalue and impact factor. In this paper we determine these two building blocks at any value of the 't Hooft coupling in planar…
Using the Matsubara formalism, we consider the massive $(\lambda \phi^{4})_{D}$ vector $N$-component model in the large $N$ limit, the system being confined between two infinite paralell planes. We investigate the behavior of the coupling…
