Classifying groups up to quasi-isometry is a fundamental problem in geometric group theory. In the context of hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups, one of the key invariants in this classification is the boundary at infinity. F.…

Quasifuchsian hyperbolic manifolds, or more generally convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds, have infinite volume, but they have a well-defined ``renormalized'' volume. We outline some relations between this renormalized volume and the…

We present a variation of quasi-isometry to approach the problem of defining a geometric notion equivalent to commensurability. In short, this variation can be summarized as "quasi-isometry with uniform parameters for a large enough family…

This paper tentatively conjectures a possible physical picture that may help explain links between quantum field theories and string theories. A correspondence might occur if the stringy parameters $\tau $ and $\sigma_i $ are interpreted as…

We discuss the dimensional reduction of various effective actions, particularly that of the closed Bosonic string and pure gravity, to two and three dimensions. The result for the closed Bosonic string leads to coset symmetries which are in…

We show that in a knapsack feasibility problem an integral vector $p$, which is short, and near parallel to the constraint vector gives a branching direction with small integer width. We use this result to analyze two computationally…

We categorify the notion of an infinitesimal braiding in a linear strict symmetric monoidal category, leading to the notion of a (strict) infinitesimal 2-braiding in a linear symmetric strict monoidal 2-category. We describe the associated…

We study 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that admit an almost contact metric structure. In particular, we generalize the class of quasi-Sasaki manifolds and characterize these structures by their intrinsic torsion. Among other things, we…

A geometrical approach in the non-symmetric connection framework is employed to examine the issue of higher order $\alpha'$ corrections to D=10 type IIB superstring backgrounds with a covariantly constant null Killing isometry and non-zero…

We show that it is algebraically consistent to express some string field theory operators as inner derivations of the B-V algebra of string vertices. In this approach, the recursion relations for the string vertices are found to take the…

It has long been argued that the continuum limit of the 3D Ising model is equivalent to a string theory. Unfortunately, in the usual starting point for this equivalence -- a certain lattice theory of surfaces -- it is not at all obvious how…

We study permanence results for almost quasi-isometries, the maps arising from the Gromov construction of finitely generated random groups that contain expanders (and hence that are not C*-exact). We show that the image of a sequence of…

Symmetric monoidal theories (SMTs) generalise algebraic theories in a way that make them suitable to express resource-sensitive systems, in which variables cannot be copied or discarded at will. In SMTs, traditional tree-like terms are…

This paper is a more succinct version of the author's 1993 UCLA mathematics thesis. It proves that any group quasi-isometric to the product of the hyperbolic plane with the real line is a finite extension of a cocompact lattice in either…

In this note we explore duality in reverse convex optimization with reverse convex inequality constraints. While we are examining the special case of a finite index set of the inequality constraints, we are primarily interested in the…

Quasi-realistic string models in the free fermionic formulation typically contain an anomalous U(1), which gives rise to a Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term that breaks supersymmetry at the one--loop level in string perturbation theory. Supersymmetry…

Based on a reduction processing, we rewrite a hypergeometric term as the sum of the difference of a hypergeometric term and a reduced hypergeometric term (the reduced part, in short). We show that when the initial hypergeometric term has a…

We study quasiisometric embeddings between finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes. More specifically, we introduce geometric branching conditions under which flats in the domain, not necessarily of top rank, are mapped within finite…

We investigate the truth-table degrees of (co-)c.e.\ sets, in particular, sets of random strings. It is known that the set of random strings with respect to any universal prefix-free machine is Turing complete, but that truth-table…

In this note, an intrinsic description of some families of linear codes with symmetries is given, showing that they can be described more generally as quasi group codes, that is, as linear codes allowing a group of permutation automorphisms…
