Emergence of fundamental forces from gauge symmetry is among our most profound insights about the physical universe. In nature, such symmetries remain hidden in the space of internal degrees of freedom of subatomic particles. Here we…
The 2-dimensional U(1) gauge-Higgs model with a topological term is a simple example of a lattice field theory where the complex action problem comes from the topological term. We show that the model can be exactly rewritten in terms of…
Gutzwiller projection is a way to construct many-body wave functions that could carry topological order or symmetry protected topological (SPT) order. However, an important issue is to determine whether or not a given Gutzwiller-projected…
We attach to each $\langle 0, \vee \rangle$-semilattice a graph $\boldsymbol{G}_{\boldsymbol{S}}$ whose vertices are join-irreducible elements of $\boldsymbol{S}$ and whose edges correspond to the reflexive dependency relation. We study…
Fields exhibit a variety of topological properties, like different topological charges, when field space in the continuum is composed by more than one topological sector. Lattice treatments usually encounter difficulties describing those…
The lattice polynomials $L_{i,j}(x)$ are introduced by Hough and Shapiro as a weighted count of certain lattice paths from the origin to the point $(i,j)$. In particular, $L_{2n, n}(x)$ reduces to the generating function of the numbers…
Wigner limits are given formally as the difference between a lattice sum, associated to a positive definite quadratic form, and a corresponding multiple integral. To define these limits, which arose in work of Wigner on the energy of static…
The gravitational path integral on $S^2 \times S^2$ can be interpreted either as evaluating a contribution to the norm of the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction conditional on spatial $S^1 \times S^2$ topology, or the pair creation rate of black…
A decorated surface S is a surface with a finite set of special points on the boundary, considered modulo isotopy. Let G be a split reductive group. A pair (G, S) gives rise to a moduli space A(G, S), closely related to the space of G-local…
We consider the system of equations $A_k(x)=p(x)A_{k-1}(x)(q(x)+\sum_{i=0}^k A_i(x))$ for $k\geq r+1$ where $A_i(x)$, $0\leq i \leq r$, are some given functions and show how to obtain a close form for $A(x)=\sum_{k\geq 0}A_k(x)$. We apply…
We recall the main types of lattice paths, which are sequences in the lattice of integer coordinates points in the plane. We start with the fundamental central lattice paths and Dyck paths and proceed in elementary terms through recently…
We present a unifying variational calculus derivation of Groverian geodesics for both quantum state vectors and quantum probability amplitudes. In the first case, we show that horizontal affinely parametrized geodesic paths on the Hilbert…
We review and motivate recently-observed relationships between exactly solvable lattice models and modular representations of Hecke algebras. Firstly, we describe how the set of $n$-regular partitions label both of the following classes of…
The strong geodetic problem is a recent variation of the classical geodetic problem. For a graph $G$, its strong geodetic number ${\rm sg}(G)$ is the cardinality of a smallest vertex subset $S$, such that each vertex of $G$ lies on one…
The evaluation of the interaction between objects arranged on a lattice requires the computation of lattice sums. A scenario frequently encountered are systems governed by the Helmholtz equation in the context of electromagnetic scattering…
In this paper, we propose an algorithm to generate all possible graceful graphs (including trees) containing n vertices as lattice paths in a certain triangular lattice defined below. This lattice that corresponds to graphs containing n…
Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$. Given an infinite measure preserving action $T$ of $\Gamma$ and a "direction" in $G$ (i.e. an element $\theta$ of the projective space $P(\goth g)$ of the Lie algebra…
A real form $G_0$ of a complex semisimple Lie group $G$ has only finitely many orbits in any given compact $G$-homogeneous projective algebraic manifold $Z=G/Q$. A maximal compact subgroup $K_0$ of $G_0$ has special orbits $C$ which are…
Recently, several authors have considered lattice paths with various steps, including vertical steps permitted. In this paper, we consider a kind of generalized Motzkin paths, called {\it G-Motzkin paths} for short, that is lattice paths…
Let $\mathfrak{P}_r$ be a representation system of the non-isomorphic finite posets, and let ${\cal H}(P,Q)$ be the set of order homomorphisms from $P$ to $Q$. For finite posets $R$ and $S$, we write $R \sqsubseteq_G S$ iff, for every $P…
