This note studies the quantized corner structure of four-dimensional $BF$ theory, classifies the associated free and physical corner algebras and constructs possible representations. In the abelian case, for arbitrary closed oriented…
We study the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) term as the leading higher-curvature correction to pure Einstein gravity. Assuming a tree-level ultraviolet completion free of ghosts or tachyons, we prove that the GB term has a nonnegative coefficient in…
We give a stereological version of the Gauss-Bonnet formula in order to compute the Euler characteristic of a domain with boundary in a smooth orientable surface in R^3, by looking at contacts with a "sweeping" plane.
There is substantiated the four-dimensional Goursat problem with non-classical conditions for a hyperbolic equation.
In this note, the polar decomposition of binary fields of even extension degree is used to reduce the evaluation of the Walsh transform of binomial Boolean functions to that of Gauss sums. In the case of extensions of degree four times an…
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in five-dimensional spacetime provides an excellent example of a theory that, while including higher-order curvature corrections to General Relativity, still shares many of its features, such as second-order…
We provide a complete classification of all abelian gauge invariant $p$-form theories with equations of motion depending only on the second derivative of the field---the $p$-form analogues of the Galileon scalar field theory. We construct…
We define rigorously a solution to the fourth-order total variation flow equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$. If $n\geq3$, it can be understood as a gradient flow of the total variation energy in $D^{-1}$, the dual space of $D^1_0$, which is the…
We study the equal-mass classical three rotor problem, a variant of the three body problem of celestial mechanics. The quantum $N$-rotor problem has been used to model chains of coupled Josephson junctions and also arises via a partial…
Studied in this paper is the sixth-order Boussinesq equation. We extend the local well-posedness theory for this equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities to the high dimensional case. In spite of having the ``bad'' fourth term…
In the paper the Dirichlet problem with non-classical conditions not requiring agreement conditions is considered for a fourth order pseudoparabolic equation with non-classical coefficients. The equivalence of these conditions with the…
Some solutions for one class of nonlinear fourth-order partial differential equations \[u_{tt} = ({\kappa u + \gamma u^2})_{xx} + \nu uu_{xxxx} + \mu u_{xxtt} + \alpha u_x u_{xxx} + \beta u_{xx}^2 \] where $\alpha ,\;\beta ,\;\gamma ,\;\mu…
In this paper, we consider the Gauss quadrature formulae corresponding to some modifications of anyone of the four Chebyshev weights, considered by Gautschi and Li in \cite{gauli}. As it is well known, in the case of analytic integrands,…
We prove higher-order Euler-Lagrange and DuBois-Reymond stationary conditions to fractional action-like variational problems. More general fractional action-like optimal control problems are also considered.
This paper investigates the quadratic irrationals that arise as periodic points of the Gauss type shift associated to the odd continued fraction expansion. It is shown that these numbers, which we call O-reduced, when ordered by the length…
We call attention to the unusual properties that the 4 dimensional solutions for a modified Fueter-Dirac equations satisfy: In a coordinate-free, constant-free and strictly mathematical way it is possible to show that all the solutions for…
In this contribution we deal with Gaussian quadrature rules based on orthogonal polynomials associated with a weight function $w(x)= x^{\alpha} e^{-x}$ supported on an interval $(0,z)$, $z>0.$ The modified Chebyshev algorithm is used in…
In this paper we perform a fine blow-up analysis for a fourth order elliptic equation involving critical Sobolev exponent, related to the prescription of some conformal invariant on the standard sphere. We derive from this analysis some a…
We characterize the solutions of the Poisson equation and the domain of its associated one-sided Hilbert transform for Ces\`aro bounded operators of fractional order. The results obtained fairly generalize the corresponding ones for…
The possibility of evading Lovelock's theorem at $d=4$, via a singular redefinition of the dimensionless coupling of the Gauss-Bonnet term, has been extensively discussed in the cosmological context. The term is added as a quadratic…
