We prove that for any nondegenerate $\mathbb{Z}/2$ harmonic $1$-form, there exists a metric perturbation producing a new nondegenerate $\mathbb{Z}/2$ harmonic $1$-form whose ordinary zero set is discrete. As an application, we show that for…
We consider harmonic sections of a bundle over the complement of a codimension 2 submanifold in a Riemannian manifold, which can be thought of as multivalued harmonic functions. We prove a result to the effect that these are stable under…
We collect a number of elementary constructions of $\Z_2$ harmonic $1$-forms, and of families of these objects. These examples show that the branching set $\Sigma$ of a $\Z_2$ harmonic 1-form may exhibit the following features: i) $\Sigma$…
We study the deformations of twisted harmonic maps $f$ with respect to the representation $\rho$. After constructing a continuous "universal" twisted harmonic map, we give a construction of every first order deformation of $f$ in terms of…
A definition of space-time metric deformations on an $n$-dimensional manifold is given. We show that such deformations can be regarded as extended conformal transformations. In particular, their features can be related to the perturbation…
The q-deformation of harmonic oscillators is shown to lead to q-nonlinear vibrations. The examples of q-nonlinearized wave equation and Schr\"odinger equation are considered. The procedure is generalized to broader class of nonlinearities…
We consider harmonic maps on simply connected Riemann surfaces into the group $\mathrm{U}(n)$ of unitary matrices of order $n$. It is known that a harmonic map with an associated algebraic extended solution can be deformed into a new…
A $q$--deformed anharmonic oscillator is defined within the framework of $q$--deformed quantum mechanics. It is shown that the Rayleigh--Schr\"odinger perturbation series for the bounded spectrum converges to exact eigenstates and…
In this note we explore the possible marginal deformations of general (0,2) non-linear sigma-models, which arise as descriptions of the weakly-coupled (large radius) limits of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}= 1$ compactifications of the…
We study a parametric deformation of the unified genus-1 anharmonic potential and derive a parametric form of perturbative/nonperturbative (P/NP) relation, applicable across all parameter values. We explicitly demonstrate that the…
We consider the problem of whether it is possible to improve the Novikov inequalities for closed 1-forms, or any other inequalities of a similar nature, if we assume, additionally, that the given 1-form is harmonic with respect to some…
We study a reduction of deformation parameters in non(anti)commutative N=2 harmonic superspace to those in non(anti)commutative N=1 superspace. By this reduction we obtain the exact gauge and supersymmetry transformations in the Wess-Zumino…
q-Deformed harmonic oscillator algebra for real and root of unity values of the deformation parameter is discussed by using an extension of the number concept proposed by Gauss, namely the Q-numbers. A study of the reducibility of the Fock…
Motivated by deformation quantization we investigate the algebraic GNS construction of *-representations of deformed *-algebras over ordered rings and compute their classical limit. The question if a GNS representation can be deformed leads…
We apply the Nash-Moser theorem for exact sequences of R. Hamilton to the context of deformations of Lie algebras and we discuss some aspects of the scope of this theorem in connection with the polynomial ideal associated to the variety of…
In this paper we will demonstrate that like the existence of a minimum measurable length, the existence of a maximum measurable momentum, also influence all quantum mechanical systems. Beyond the simple one dimensional case, the existence…
We discover an explicit construction of non-degenerate $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-harmonic functions on $\mathbb{R}^{n},n\geq 3$, using a variant of ellipsoidal coordinates on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. The branching set of these examples is a codimension-$2$…
We study analytic deformations of holomorphic differential 1-forms. The initial 1-form is exact homogeneous and the deformation is by polynomial integrable 1-forms. We investigate under which conditions the elements of the deformation are…
