We show that the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics applied to the solvable elliptic function potentials $V(x) = mj(j+1){sn}^2(x,m)$ produces new exactly solvable one-dimensional periodic potentials.

It is shown that the scattering S-matrix is unitary even if the scattering potential U(x) tends to different limits at plus and minus infinity. This result is in contrast to the statements of some authors which argue that the different…

Non-differentiable potentials, such as the V-shaped (linear) potential, appear in various areas of physics. For example, the effective action for branons in the framework of the brane world scenario contains a Liouville-type interaction,…

Following a polynomial approach, many robust fixed-order controller design problems can be formulated as optimization problems whose set of feasible solutions is modelled by parametrized polynomial matrix inequalities (PMI). These…

Background: Statistical mechanics results (Dauphin et al. (2014); Choromanska et al. (2015)) suggest that local minima with high error are exponentially rare in high dimensions. However, to prove low error guarantees for Multilayer Neural…

Some monotone increasing sequences of the lower bounds for the minimum eigenvalue of $M$-matrices are given. It is proved that these sequences are convergent and improve some existing results. Numerical examples show that these sequences…

As in two and four dimensions, supersymmetric conformal field theories in three dimensions can have exactly marginal operators. These are illustrated in a number of examples with N=4 and N=2 supersymmetry. The N=2 theory of three chiral…

We consider real non-symmetric matrices and their factorisation as a product of real symmetric matrices. The number of complex eigenvalues of the original matrix reveals restrictions on such factorisations as we shall prove.

We study the definable topological dynamics $(G(M), S_G(M))$ of a definable group acting on its type space, where $M$ is either an $o$-minimal structure or a $p$-adically closed field, and $G$ a definable amenable group. We focus on the…

We solve a supersymmetric matrix model with a general potential. While matrix models usually describe surfaces, supersymmetry enforces a cancellation of bosonic and fermionic loops and only diagrams corresponding to so-called branched…

We study the stationary scattering for $(-\Delta)^{\frac 12} + V(x)$ on $\mathbb{R}^3$. For poly-homogeneous potentials decaying at infinity, we prove that the asymptotics of the potential can be recovered from the scattering matrix at a…

A nonnegative function on the vertices of an infinite graph G which vanishes at a distinguished vertex o, has Laplacian 1 at o, and is harmonic at all other vertices is called a potential. We survey basic properties of potentials in…

Does over-parameterization eliminate sub-optimal local minima for neural networks? An affirmative answer was given by a classical result in [59] for 1-hidden-layer wide neural networks. A few recent works have extended the setting to…

One-dimensional potentials defined by $V^{(S)}(x) =S(S+1) \hbar^2 \pi^2 /[2ma^2\sin^2(\pi x/a)]$ (for integer $S$) arise in the repeated supersymmetrization of the infinite square well, here defined over the region $(0,a)$. We review the…
