It will be proved that a model of lattice field theories which satisfies (A1) Hermiticity, (A2) translational invariance, (A3) reflection positivity, and (A4) polynomial boundedness of correlations, permits the…

Two lattice points are visible from one another if there is no lattice point on the open line segment joining them. Let $S$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^k$. The asymptotic density of the set of lattice points, visible from all points…

We discuss the apparent conflict between reflection positivity and positivity of the topological susceptibility in two-dimensional nonlinear sigma models and in four-dimensional gauge theories. We pay special attention to the fact that this…

If $X, Y,$ and $Z$ are finite sets of selfadjoint elements in a tracial von Neumann algebra and $X$ generates a hyperfinite von Neumann algebra, then $\delta_0(X \cup Y \cup Z) \leq \delta_0(X \cup Y) + \delta_0(X \cup Z) - \delta_0(X).$ We…

Using arguments from two dimensional Yang-Mills theory and the collective coordinate formulation of the Calogero-Sutherland model, we conjecture the dynamical density correlation function for coupling $l$ and $1/l$, where $l$ is an integer.…

We prove anti-concentration bounds for the inner product of two independent random vectors, and use these bounds to prove lower bounds in communication complexity. We show that if $A,B$ are subsets of the cube $\{\pm 1\}^n$ with $|A| \cdot…

The HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) galaxy catalogue is cross-correlated with known low redshift, low column density (N_HI <10^15 cm^-2) Lyman-alpha absorbers from the literature. The redshift-space correlation is found to be similar in…

We show that an Ahlfors $d$-regular set $E$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is uniformly rectifiable if the set of pairs $(x,r)\in E\times (0,\infty)$ for which there exists $y \in B(x,r)$ and $0<t<r$ satisfying $\mathscr{H}^{d}_{\infty}(E\cap…

We prove that if $\mathcal{L} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a lattice such that $\det(\mathcal{L}') \geq 1$ for all sublattices $\mathcal{L}' \subseteq \mathcal{L}$, then \[ \sum_{\substack{\mathbf{y}\in\mathcal{L}\\\mathbf{y}\neq\mathbf0}}…

For any $\sigma$ with $0\leq \sigma\leq 1$ and any $T>10$ sufficiently large, let $N_{\zeta}(\sigma,K,T)$ be the number of zeros $\rho=\beta+i\gamma$ of $\zeta_{K}(s)$ with $|\gamma|\leq T$ and $\beta\geq \sigma$ and the zero being counted…

By a 1997 result of R. Freese, an $n$-element lattice has at most $2^{n-1}$ congruences. This motivates us to define the congruence density cd$(L)$ of a finite $n$-element lattice as $|$Con$(L)|/2^{n-1}$, where $|$Con$(L)|$ is the number of…

Inspired by the work of Newhouse in one real variable, we introduce a relevant notion of thickness for dynamical Cantor sets of the plane associated to a holomorphic IFS. Our main result is a complex version of Newhouse's Gap Lemma : we…

The two-point correlation function, $\xi$, of Lyman-alpha forest is found to be large, $\xi = 1.8^{+1.6}_{-1.2}$, > 90% confidence level, on the scale of 250-500 km/s for a sample of absorbers (0 < z < 1.3) assembled from HST Key Project…

In this note we prove equicontinuity for the family of one-point densities with respect to a two-dimensional Coulomb gas at an inverse temperature $\beta\ge 1/2$ confined by an external potential of Hele-Shaw (or quasi-harmonic) type. As a…

Let $C\subseteq \{1,\ldots,k\}^n$ be such that for any $k$ distinct elements of $C$ there exists a coordinate where they all differ simultaneously. Fredman and Koml\'os studied upper and lower bounds on the largest cardinality of such a set…

For a one-dimensional model in which the two-body interactions are long-range and strong, the system almost crystallizes. The harmonic modes of such a lattice can be used to compute the ground state wave function and the dynamical…

Despite extensive experimental and theoretical efforts, a concise quantitative theory to predict the occurrence of like-charge attraction (LCA) between polarizable spheres remains elusive. In this work, we first derive a novel three-point…

We present exact results for the dynamical structure function, i.e.~the density-density correlations for the 1/r^2 system of interacting particles at three special values of the coupling constant. The results are interpreted in terms of…

We examine the correlational property of $\lya$ clouds in detail and compare it to that of mass and galaxies. We show that the correlation strength of $\lya$ clouds is somewhat weaker than that of the underlying matter, which in turn is…

Pure CFTs have vanishing $\beta$-function at any value of the coupling. One example of a pure CFT is the O(N) Wess-Zumino model in 2+1 dimensions in the large N limit. This model can be analytically solved at finite temperature for any…
