Generic absoluteness is the phenomenon that certain truths in the set-theoretic universe remain stable under forcing expansions. A classical result by Kripke asserts that every complete Boolean algebra completely embeds into a countably…

Let G be a simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic p. Let \sigma:G->G be a strict endomorphism (i. e., the subgroup G(\sigma) of \sigma-fixed points is finite). Also,…

The gravitational path integral measure has been the subject of an increasing interest lately, and no conclusive answer yet exists for its correct form. In this paper, we adopt effective field theory techniques to shed light on this issue.…

We investigate the gauging of the Wess-Zumino term of a sigma model with boundary. We derive a set of obstructions to gauging and we interpret them as the conditions for the Wess-Zumino term to extend to a closed form in a suitable…

Following systematically the generalized Hamiltonian approach of Batalin, Fradkin and Tyutin (BFT), we embed the second-class non-abelian SU(2) Higgs model in the unitary gauge into a gauge invariant theory. The strongly involutive…

In this paper, we associate, to any submartingale of class $(\Sigma)$, defined on a filtered probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P}, (\mathcal{F}_t)_{t \geq 0})$, which satisfies some technical conditions, a $\sigma$-finite…

This paper explains the Unimodular gauge fixing of gravity and supergravity in the framework of a perturbative BRST construction. The unphysical sector contains additional BRST-exact quartets to suppress possible ambiguities and impose both…

It has been speculated in the literature that the effective actions of string theories at any order of $\alpha'$ should be invariant under the Buscher rules plus their higher covariant derivative corrections. This may be used as a…

Starting from a (small) rigid C$^*$-tensor category $\mathscr{C}$ with simple unit, we construct von Neumann algebras associated to each of its objects. These algebras are factors and can be either semifinite (of type II$_1$ or II$_\infty$,…

For locally compact groups G and H let A(G) denote the Fourier algebra of G and B(H) the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of H. Any continuous piecewise affine map alpha:Y -> G (where Y is an element of the open coset ring of H) induces a…

In this paper, the author derives an $O(h^4)$-superconvergence for the piecewise linear Ritz-Galerkin finite element approximations for the second order elliptic equation $-\nabla \cdot(A\nabla u)= f$ equipped with Dirichlet boundary…

In this paper we study the $\sigma_2$--Yamabe equation, $n>4$, for solutions with a prescribed singular set $\Lambda$ given by a disjoint union of closed submanifolds whose dimension is positive and strictly less than $(n-\sqrt{n}-2)/2$.…

The first part of the paper centers in the study of embeddability between partially commutative groups. In [KK], for a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, the authors introduce an infinite, locally infinite graph $\Gamma^e$, called the…

Let G be a graph with a perfect matching. A complete forcing set of G is a subset of edges of G to which the restriction of every perfect matching is a forcing set of it. The complete forcing number of G is the minimum cardinality of…

We study the complexity of constraint satisfaction problems for templates $\Gamma$ that are first-order definable in $(\Bbb Z; succ)$, the integers with the successor relation. Assuming a widely believed conjecture from finite domain…

We classify locally finite joinings with respect to the Burger-Roblin measure for the action of a horospherical subgroup $U$ on $\Gamma \backslash G$, where $G = \operatorname{SO}(n,1)^\circ$ and $\Gamma$ is a convex cocompact and Zariski…

We prove that the mixed $q$-Gaussian algebra $\Gamma_{Q}(H_{\mathbb{R}})$ associated to a real Hilbert space $H_{\mathbb{R}}$ and a real symmetric matrix $Q=(q_{ij})$ with $\sup|q_{ij}|<1$, is a factor as soon as $\dim H_{\mathbb{R}}\geq2$.…

Second-order superintegrable systems in dimensions two and three are essentially classified. With increasing dimension, however, the non-linear partial differential equations employed in current methods become unmanageable. Here we propose…

All spaces are assumed to be separable and metrizable. Our main result is that the statement "For every space $X$, every closed subset of $X$ has the perfect set property if and only if every analytic subset of $X$ has the perfect set…

Let $\Gamma(G)$ be the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of a finite group $G$. We prove that if $G$ is solvable and $\sigma$ is a cut-set for $\Gamma(G)$, then $G$ has a $\sigma$-series of length $5$ whose factors are controlled. As a consequence, we…
