For non-interacting electrons the one-particle density matrix and the related Wannier functions characterize a material as insulating or metallic. Introducing many-body Wannier functions, we show that this characterization can be carried…
We consider isolated horizons (Killing horizons up to the second order) whose null flow has the structure of a U(1) principal fiber bundle over a compact Riemann surface. We impose the vacuum Einstein equations (with the cosmological…

Exhibiting an explicit Boolean function with a large high-order nonlinearity is an important problem in cryptography, coding theory, and computational complexity. We prove lower bounds on the second-order, third-order, and higher-order…
Recently, a universal formula for a non-holomorphic modular completion of the generating functions of refined BPS indices in various theories with $N=2$ supersymmetry has been suggested. It expresses the completion through the holomorphic…
Wannier functions that are maximally localized help in understanding many properties of crystalline materials. In the absence of topological obstructions, they are at least exponentially localized. In some cases such as flat-band…
We consider the barotropic Euler equations in dimension d>1 with decaying density at spatial infinity. The phase portrait of the nonlinear ode governing the equation for spherically symmetric self-similar solutions has been introduced in…
An extension to higher dimensions of the Bel-Debever characterization of the Weyl tensor is considered. This provides algebraic conditions that uniquely determine the multiplicity of a Weyl aligned null direction (WAND), and thus the…
We investigate the quantitative unique continuation properties of real-valued solutions to planar Schr\"odinger equations with potential functions that exhibit pointwise decay at infinity. That is, for equations of the form $-\Delta u + V u…
We propose a general method of constructing Wannier functions in disordered systems directly out of energy eigenstates. This method consists of two successive operations: (i) a phase transformation setting the proper localization center;…

We prove new non-existence results for vectorial monomial Dillon type bent functions mapping the field of order $2^{2m}$ to the field of order $2^{m/3}$. When $m$ is odd and $m>3$ we show that there are no such functions. When $m$ is even…
Given integers $a_1,a_2,a_3$, there is a complex rank $3$ topological bundle on $\mathbb CP^5$ with $i$-th Chern class equal to $a_i$ if and only if $a_1,a_2,a_3$ satisfy the Schwarzenberger condition. Provided that the Schwarzenberger…
