We give a development of the fine structure of mice with long extenders, to the level of $\kappa^+$-supercompact cardinals $\kappa$. We do this using a hierarchy with features more analogous to those familiar in the short extender context…
The present paper provides a general formula for the dimension of spline space over T-meshes using smoothing cofactor-conformality method. And we introduce a new notion, Diagonalizable T-mesh, over which the dimension formula is only…

Modular invariance is a necessary condition for the consistency of any closed string theory. In particular, it imposes stringent constraints on the spectrum of orbifold theories, and in principle determines their spectrum uniquely up to…
Assume that $V_h$ is a space of piecewise polynomials of degree less than $r\geq 1$ on a family of quasi-uniform triangulation of size $h$. Then the following well-known upper bound holds for a sufficiently smooth function $u$ and $p\in [1,…

In a previous work, we have constructed a reparametrization invariant worldsheet action from which one can derive the super-Poincare covariant pure spinor formalism for the superstring at the fully quantum level. The main idea was the…
The purpose of this paper is to provide tools for analyzing the compactness of sequences in Sobolev spaces, in particular if the sequence gets mapped onto a compact set by some nonlinear operator. Here, our focus lies on a very general…
This paper considers affine analogues of the isoperimetric inequality in the sense of piecewise linear topology. Given a closed polygon P embedded in R^d having n edges, we give upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of triangles…
The question how an $M$-dimensional extended object must be shaped so that a rigid motion gives an $M$-brane solution ($M+1$ dimensional timelike zero mean curvature surface) in $M+2$ dimensional Minkowski space is discussed for closed…
Ballico proved that a smooth projective variety $X$ of degree $d$ over a finite field of $q$ elements admits a smooth hyperplane section if $q\geq d(d-1)^{\dim X}$. In this paper, we refine this criterion for higher codimensional linear…
A procedure to extend a superintegrable system into a new superintegrable one is systematically tested for the known systems on $\mathbb E^2$ and $\mathbb S^2$ and for a family of systems defined on constant curvature manifolds. The…
In this paper, we present some checkable criteria for the spectral finiteness of a finite subset of the real $d\times d$ matrix space $\mathbb{R}^{d\times d}$, where $2\le d<\infty$.
We construct smooth finite element de Rham complexes in two space dimensions. This leads to three families of curl-curl conforming finite elements, two of which contain two existing families. The simplest triangular and rectangular finite…
Embedding of a Green-Schwarz superbrane into a generic curved target space in a general covariant way is considered. It is demonstrated explicitely, that the customary superbrane formulation based on finite-component spinors extends to a…
The classical continuous mixed formulation of linear elasticity with pointwise symmetric stresses allows for a conforming finite element discretization with piecewise polynomials of degree at least three. Symmetric stress approximations of…
We construct embeddings of simplicial complexes into a (surface of a) simplicial ball whose triangulation has bounded degrees and low volume. This construction can be used either to efficiently "simplify a complicated space" by realizing it…
