The Weyl principle is extended from the Riemannian to the pseudo-Riemannian setting, and subsequently to manifolds equipped with generic symmetric $(0,2)$-tensors. More precisely, we construct a family of generalized curvature measures…

The Schr\"odinger equation in a square or rectangle with hard walls is solved in every introductory quantum mechanics course. Solutions for other polygonal enclosures only exist in a very restricted class of polygons, and are all based on a…

We discuss tachyon-free examples of (Type IIB on) non-compact non-supersymmetric orbifolds. Tachyons are projected out by discrete torsion between orbifold twists, while supersymmetry is broken by a Scherk-Schwarz phase (+1/-1 when acting…

This is a partly expository article for the volume "Algebraic and Analytic Microlocal Analysis" on pointwise Weyl laws for spectral projections kernels in the Kaehler setting. We prove a 2-term pointwise Weyl law for projections onto sums…

In the standard lattice domain-wall fermion formulation, one needs two flat domain-walls where both of the left- and right-handed massless modes appear. In this work we investigate a single domain-wall system with a nontrivial curved…

In this paper we provide sub-linear algorithms for several fundamental problems in the setting in which the input graph excludes a fixed minor, i.e., is a minor-free graph. In particular, we provide the following algorithms for minor-free…

The Weyl semimetals [1-6] are three-dimensional (3D) gapless topological phases with Weyl cones in the bulk band, and host massless quasiparticles known as Weyl fermions which were theorized by Hermann Weyl in the last twenties [7]. The…

Ideal Weyl points, which are related by symmetry and thus reside at the same frequency, could promote the deep development and utilization of the Weyl physics. Although the ideal type-I Weyl points have been achieved in photonic crystals,…
