We study in general spacetime dimension the symmetry of the theory obtained by gauging a non-anomalous finite normal Abelian subgroup $A$ of a $\Gamma$-symmetric theory. Depending on how anomalous $\Gamma$ is, we find that the symmetry of…
Differential calculus on discrete sets is developed in the spirit of noncommutative geometry. Any differential algebra on a discrete set can be regarded as a `reduction' of the `universal differential algebra' and this allows a systematic…
We extend the famous convexity theorem of Atiyah, Guillemin and Sternberg to the case of non-Hamiltonian actions. We show that the image of a generalized momentum map is a bounded polytope times a vector space. We prove that this picture is…
We generalize the idea of cofinite groups, due to B. Hartley. First we define cofinite spaces in general. Then, as a special situation, we study cofinite graphs and their uniform completions. The idea of constructing a cofinite graph starts…
To address the need for a unified framework that incorporates Lie algebroid connections on both vector and principal bundles, this paper investigates a generalized Atiyah algebroid structure and its short exact sequence. Building on this…
We investigate how to find generic and globally rigid realizations of graphs in $\mathbb{R}^d$ based on elementary geometric observations. Our arguments lead to new proofs of a combinatorial characterization of the global rigidity of graphs…
In this paper, we explore the algebraic and geometric structures that arise from a procedure we dub "gauging the gauge", which involves the promotion of a certain global, coordinate independent symmetry to a local one. By gauging the global…
We construct a 2-generated group $\Gamma $ such that its Cayley graph possesses finite connected subsets with arbitrarily big finite Heesch number.
As countless examples show, it can be fruitful to study a sequence of complicated objects all at once via the formalism of generating functions. We apply this point of view to the homology and combinatorics of orbit configuration spaces:…
The quantum completion of the space of connections in a manifold can be seen as the set of all morphisms from the groupoid of the edges of the manifold to the (compact) gauge group. This algebraic construction generalizes the analogous…
We state and prove a condition under which the strong Atiyah Conjecture carries over to subgroups. Moreover, we show that if a group satisfies the (strong) Atiyah Conjecture then any quotient with finite kernel does.
We present recent advances in harmonic analysis on infinite graphs. Our approach combines combinatorial tools with new results from the theory of unbounded Hermitian operators in Hilbert space, geometry, boundary constructions, and spectral…
Binomial Cayley graphs are obtained by considering the binomial coefficient of the weight function of a given Cayley graph and a natural number. We introduce these objects and study two families: one associated with symmetric groups and the…
Let $G$ be a finite simple non-complete connected graph on $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ and $\kappa(G) \geq 1$ its vertex connectivity. Let $f(G)$ denote the number of free vertices of $G$ and $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ the diameter of $G$. Being motivated…
For polynomials and rational maps of fixed degree over a finite field, we bound both the average number of connected components of their functional graphs as well as the average number of periodic points of their associated dynamical…
Let $G$ be a finite group. The solubility graph associated with the finite group $G$, denoted by $\Gamma_{\cal S}(G)$, is a simple graph whose vertices are the non-trivial elements of $G$, and there is an edge between two distinct elements…
Fujikawa's method is employed to compute at first order in the noncommutative parameter the $U(1)_A$ anomaly for noncommutative SU(N). We consider the most general Seiberg-Witten map which commutes with hermiticity and complex conjugation…
These notes concern aspects of various graphs whose vertex set is a group $G$ and whose edges reflect group structure in some way (so that they are invariant under the action of the automorphism group of $G$). The graphs I will discuss are…
We generalize the results of Sehgal and Guseman for mappings on a complete metric space with a contractive iterate condition at each point.
The quantum completion of the space of connections in a manifold can be seen as the set of all morphisms from the groupoid of the edges of the manifold to the (compact) gauge group. This algebraic construction generalizes an analogous…
