Electronic structure calculations for solids based on many-electron wavefunctions have been hampered by the argument that for large electron numbers wavefunctions are not a legitimate scientific concept, because they face an exponential…
We analyze the large-order behavior of the perturbative weak-field expansion of the effective Lagrangian density of a massive scalar in de Sitter and anti de Sitter space, and show that this perturbative information is not sufficient to…
Previously, we showed that massless scalar point particles cannot propagate on classical backgrounds of chiral higher-spin theory. This conclusion was derived from the analysis of the light-cone consistency conditions occurring at the…
In this paper we consider stochastic differential equations with discontinuous diffusion coefficient of varying sign, for which weak existence and uniqueness holds but strong uniqueness fails. We introduce the notion of $\varphi $-strong…
The mutual compatibility of the dynamical equations and constraints describing a massive particle of arbitrary spin, though essential for consistency, is generically lost in the presence of interactions. The conventional Lagrangian approach…
We consider quasilinear elliptic systems in divergence form. In general, we cannot expect that weak solutions are locally bounded because of De Giorgi's counterexample. Here we assume a condition on the support of off-diagonal coefficients…
A method of constructing Markov chains on finite state spaces is provided. The chain is specified by three constraints: stationarity, dependence and marginal distributions. The generalized Pythagorean theorem in information geometry plays a…
We establish local-in-time existence and uniqueness results for nonlocal conservation laws with a nonlinear mobility, in several space dimensions, under weak assumptions on the kernel, which is assumed to be bounded and of finite total…
We consider a random walk on a discrete connected graph having some infinite branches plus finitely many vertices with finite degrees. We find the generator of a strong stationary dual in the sense of Fill, and use it to find some…
We strengthen the property $\Delta$ of a function $f:[\omega_2]^2\rightarrow [\omega_2]^{\leq \omega}$ considered by Baumgartner and Shelah. This allows us to consider new types of amalgamations in the forcing used by Rabus, Juh\'asz and…
Cummings, Foreman, and Magidor proved that Jensen's square principle is non-compact at $\aleph_\omega$, meaning that it is consistent that $\square_{\aleph_n}$ holds for all $n<\omega$ while $\square_{\aleph_\omega}$ fails. We investigate…
An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…
We establish a strong law of large numbers under intermediate trimming for a particular example of Birkhoff sums of a non-integrable observable over the doubling map. It has been shown in a previous work by Haynes that there is no strong…
We show that it is consistent relative to a weakly compact cardinal that strong homology is additive and compactly supported within the class of locally compact separable metric spaces. This complements work of Marde\v{s}i\'{c} and Prasolov…
In this work we characterize the configurational space of a short chain of colloidal particles as function of the range of directional and heterogeneous isotropic interactions. The individual particles forming the chain are colloids…
We study necessary conditions for stability of a Numerov-type compact higher-order finite-difference scheme for the 1D homogeneous wave equation in the case of non-uniform spatial meshes. We first show that the uniform in time stability…
In this paper we prove that from large cardinals it is consistent that there is a singular strong limit cardinal $\nu$ such that the singular cardinal hypothesis fails at $\nu$ and every collection of fewer than $\mathrm{cf}(\nu)$…
One of us (Y.P.) has shown the existence of a longitudinal component in the propagation of light waves on the basis of the kinematics underlying Poincar\'{e}'s ellipse. We show how this statement agrees with the electromagnetic theory. We…
For $\alpha \in (1,2]$, the $\alpha$-stable graph arises as the universal scaling limit of critical random graphs with i.i.d. degrees having a given $\alpha$-dependent power-law tail behavior. It consists of a sequence of compact measured…
We develop the theory of probabilistic variants of the one-category and diagonal topological complexity, which bound the classical LS-category and topological complexity from below. Unlike any other classical or probabilistic invariants,…
