We prove Carlos Simpson's "semi-strictification" (or "weak unit") conjecture in the case of infinity-groupoids. More precisely, we introduce two precise versions of the conjecture, the "general" and the "regular" conjecture, involving two…
This text contains some notes on the Griesmer bound. In particular, we give a geometric proof of the Griesmer bound for the generalized weights and show that a Solomon--Stiffler type construction attains it if the minimum distance is…
We construct a simple SO(10) SUSY GUT with $D_3$ family symmetry and low energy R parity. The model describes fermion mass matrices with 14 parameters and gives excellent fits to 20 observable masses and mixing angles in both quark and…
We review critically the main assumptions on which the standard theory of neutrino oscillations is based. We show that all assumptions are realistic, except the so-called "equal momentum assumption", which however is irrelevant. We conclude…
In the ADE classification of Virasoro minimal models, the E-series is the sparsest: their central charges $c=1-6\frac{(p-q)^2}{pq}$ are not dense in the half-line $c\in (-\infty,1)$, due to $q=12,18,30$ taking only 3 values -- the Coxeter…
We generalize the recently discovered relationship between JT gravity and double-scaled random matrix theory to the case that the boundary theory may have time-reversal symmetry and may have fermions with or without supersymmetry. The…
In this paper we extend the bump conjecture and a particular case of the separated bump conjecture with logarithmic bumps to iterated commutators $T_b^m$. Our results are new even for the first order commutator $T_b^1$. A new bump type…
We prove an Assmus-Mattson-type theorem for block codes where the alphabet is the vertex set of a commutative association scheme (say, with $s$ classes). This in particular generalizes the Assmus-Mattson-type theorems for…
We study quark and lepton mass matrices in the $A_4$ modular symmetry towards the unification of the quark and lepton flavors. We adopt modular forms of weights $2$ and $6$ for quarks and charged leptons, while we use modular forms of…
We use the idea of partial compositeness in a minimal supersymmetric model to relate the fermion and sfermion masses. By assuming that the Higgs and third-generation matter is (mostly) elementary, while the first- and second-generation…
We compute the weighted enumeration of plane partitions contained in a given box with complementation symmetry where adding one half of an orbit of cubes and removing the other half of the orbit changes the weight by -1 as proposed by…
Regularities in the hadron interaction energies are used to obtain formulas relating the masses of ground-state hadrons, most of which contain heavy quarks. Inputs are the constituent quark model, the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, and the…
Thirty years ago we proposed string junction model of hadrons and examined structure and reaction of hadrons including exotic ones. Mass $m$ of exotic hadrons of light quarks is roughly given by $m \sim N_J\cdot m_B$, where $N_J$ is the…
We adapt the hypercube decompositions introduced by Blundell-Buesing-Davies-Veli\v{c}kovi\'{c}-Williamson to prove the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture for Kazhdan-Lusztig $R$-polynomials in the case of elementary intervals in $S_n$.…
For a complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ or rank $r$, let $\rho$ be the half sum of positive roots and $P(2\rho)\subset \mathbb{R}^r$ be the convex hull of all dominant weights $\lambda$ of the form $\lambda=2\rho-\sum_{i=1}^r…
Correlations between light neutrino observables are arguably the strongest predictions of lepton avour models based on (discrete) symmetries, except for the very few cases which unambiguously predict the full set of leptonic mixing angles.…
QCD justification of SU(m/n) supergroups are shown to provide a basis for the existence of an approximate hadronic supersymmetry. Effective Hamiltonian of the relativistic quark model is derived, leading to hadronic mass formulae in…
We show that more than two generations of quarks and leptons are required to have an anomaly free discrete R-symmetry larger than R-parity, provided that the supersymmetric Standard Model can be minimally embedded into a grand unified…
In this paper, we prove under mild hypotheses the Iwasawa main conjectures of Lei--Loeffler--Zerbes for modular forms of weight $2$ at non-ordinary primes. Our proof is based on the study of the two-variable analogues of these conjectures…
In this work we develop some fifth-order integrable coupled systems of weight $0$ and $1$ which possess seventh-order symmetry. We establish four new systems, where in some cases, related recursion operator and bi-Hamiltonian formulations…
