We compare closed and rigid monoidal categories. Closedness is defined by the tensor product having a right adjoint: the internal hom functor. Rigidity, on the other hand, generalises the duality of finite-dimensional vector spaces. In the…

The admittable Sobolev regularity is quantified for a function, $w$, which has a zero in the $d$--dimensional torus and whose reciprocal $u=1/w$ is a $(p,q)$--multiplier. Several aspects of this problem are addressed, including zero--sets…

Visibility $V$ and distinguishability $D$ quantify wave-ray duality: $V^2 + D^2 \le 1$. We join them to polarization $P$ via the Polarization Coherence Theorem, a tight equality: $P^2 = V^2 + D^2$.

The existence of two stationary solutions of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation for inelastic hard spheres or disks is investigated. They are restricted neither to weak dissipation nor to small gradients. The one-particle distribution…

We show various uncertainty principles for the Fourier transform on harmonic manifolds of rank one. In particular, we derive a Heisenberg uncertainty principle, a Morgen theorem, an uncertainty principle for the Schr\"odinger equation and a…

Incompatible observables underlie pillars of quantum physics such as contextuality and entanglement. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is a fundamental limitation on the measurement of the product of incompatible observables, a `joint'…

Spontaneous mirror symmetry violation is carried out in nature as the transition between the usual left (right)-handed and the mirror right (left)-handed spaces, in each of which the usual and mirror particles have the different lifetimes.…

Understanding whether a polaritonic phenomenon is fundamentally quantum or classical is essential for building accurate theoretical models and guiding experimental design. Here, we address this question in the context of polaritonic…

Bohlin-Arnold-Vassiliev's duality transformation establishes a correspondence between motions in different central potentials. It offers a very direct way to construct the dynamical conserved quantities associated to the isotropic harmonic…

In many applications data are measured or defined on a spherical manifold; spherical harmonic transforms are then required to access the frequency content of the data. We derive algorithms to perform forward and inverse spin spherical…

We prove that a certain bilinear pairing (analagous to the Poincare-Lefschetz intersection pairing) between filtered sub- and quotient complexes of a Floer-type chain complex and of its "opposite complex" is always nondegenerate on…

We give the definition of a duality that is applicable to arbitrary $k$-forms. The operator that defines the duality depends on a fixed form $\Omega$. Our definition extends in a very natural way the Hodge duality of $n$-forms in $2n$…
