We complete the study concerning the minimization of the positive principal eigenvalue associated with a weighted Neumann problem settled in a bounded regular domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$, $N\ge2$, for the weight varying in a…

We generalize our picture in [arXiv:0904.1744], and consider a pure abelian gauge theory on a four-manifold with nonlocal operators of every codimension arbitrarily and simultaneously inserted. We explicitly show that (i) the theory enjoys…

We show that every Hankel operator $H$ is unitarily equivalent to a pseudo-differential operator $A$ of a special structure acting in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb R}) $. As an example, we consider integral operators $H$ in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb…

In this paper we consider introducing careful regularization in the quantization of Maxwell theory in the asymptotic null infinity. This allows systematic discussions of the commutators in various boundary conditions, and application of…

We carry out a systematic study of entanglement entropy in relativistic quantum field theory. This is defined as the von Neumann entropy S_A=-Tr rho_A log rho_A corresponding to the reduced density matrix rho_A of a subsystem A. For the…

We reformulate entanglement wedge reconstruction in the language of operator-algebra quantum error correction with infinite-dimensional physical and code Hilbert spaces. Von Neumann algebras are used to characterize observables in a…

We prove that the quotient of the polynomial representation of the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) by the radical of the duality pairing is always irreducible assuming that it is finite dimensional (apart from the roots of unity). We…

For $\alpha$ a positive irrational, let $\mathcal{A}_{\alpha}$ be the subalgebra of continuous functions on the two-torus whose Fourier transform vanishes at $(m, n)$ if $m + \alpha n < 0.$ These algebras were studied by Wermer and others,…

We consider arbitrary embeddings of surface operators in a pure, non-supersymmetric abelian gauge theory on spin (non-spin) four-manifolds. For any surface operator with a priori simultaneously non-vanishing parameters, we explicitly show…

A doubling covering $\U$ of a complex $n$-dimensional manifold $Y$ consists of analytic functions $\psi_j:B_1\to Y$, each function being analytically extendable, as a mapping to $Y$, to a four times larger concentric ball $B_4$. Main result…

Let $\phi: A\to A$ be a (not necessarily linear, additive or continuous) map of a standard operator algebra. Suppose for any $a,b\in A$ there is an algebra automorphism $\theta_{a,b}$ of $ A$ such that \begin{align*} \phi(a)\phi(b) =…

We show that a QWEP von Neumann algebra has the weak* positive approximation property if and only if it is seemingly injective in the following sense: there is a factorization of the identity of $M$ $$Id_M=vu: M{\buildrel…

It has been observed that an automatic alignment without decoupling is predicted at tree-level in a Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) with extended supersymmetry in the gauge and Higgs sectors. Moreover, it was found that radiative corrections…

For a normalized root system $R$ in $\mathbb R^N$ and a multiplicity function $k\geq 0$ let $\mathbf N=N+\sum_{\alpha \in R} k(\alpha)$. We denote by $dw(\mathbf{x})=\Pi_{\alpha \in R}|\langle \mathbf{x},\alpha…

In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…

An early result of algebraic quantum field theory is that the algebra of any subregion in a QFT is a von Neumann factor of type III$_1$, in which entropy cannot be well-defined because such algebras do not admit a trace or density states.…

We study a mapping $\tau_G$ of the cone ${\mathbf B}^+({\mathcal H})$ of bounded nonnegative self-adjoint operators in a complex Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$ into itself. This mapping is defined as a strong limit of iterates of the mapping…

We investigate the transformation of entanglement entropy under dualities, using the Kramers-Wannier duality present in the transverse field Ising model as our example. Entanglement entropy between local spin degrees of freedom is not…

This is a general introduction to electric-magnetic duality in non-abelian gauge theories. In chapter I, I review the general ideas which led in the late 70s to the idea of electric/magnetic duality in quantum field theory. In chapters II…

We prove that given any positive integer $k$, for each open set $\Omega$ and any closed subset $D$ of its closure such that $\Omega$ is locally an (epsilon,delta)-domain near points in the boundary of $\Omega$ not contained in $D$ there…
