We explore the idea of restoring the full diffeomorphism (Diff) invariance in theories with only transverse diffeomorphisms (TDiff) by the introduction of additional fields. In particular, we consider in detail the case of a TDiff invariant…
We use formal microlocalization to describe the Fourier--Laplace transformation between rank 3 and rank 2 D-module representations of Painleve systems. We conclude the existence of biregular morphism between the corresponding de Rham…
We theoretically investigate the dephasing of a central spin-1 model. An interesting mechanism of spin decoherence is found with this model, namely {\em hyperfine mediated spectral diffusion}. This mechanism contains both the features of…
We study the properties of spin systems realized by cold polar molecules interacting via dipole-dipole interactions in two dimensions. Using a spin wave theory, that allows for the full treatment of the characteristic long-distance tail of…
We present important elements of a gauge and diffeomorphism invariant formulation of the moduli space approximation to soliton dynamics. We argue that explicit velocity-dependent modifications are determined entirely from gauge and…
The quantum theory of a massless spin two particle is strongly constrained by diffeomorphism invariance, which is in turn implied by unitarity. We explicitly exhibit the space-time diffeomorphism algebra of string theory, realizing it in…
We consider the problem of defining the structure of a smooth manifold on the various spaces of piecewise-smooth loops in a smooth finite dimensional manifold. We succeed for a particular type of piecewise-smooth loops. We also examine the…
For r at least 3, p at least 2, we classify all actions of the groups Diff^r_c(R) and Diff^r_+(S1) by C^p -diffeomorphisms on the line and on the circle. This is the same as describing all nontrivial group homomorphisms between groups of…
We provide a complete system of invariants for the formal classification of complex analytic unipotent germs of diffeomorphism at $\cn{n}$ fixing the orbits of a regular vector field. We reduce the formal classification problem to solve a…
As the theory is subject to a section condition, coordinates in double field theory do not represent physical points in an injective manner. We argue that a physical point should be rather one-to-one identified with a `gauge orbit' in the…
New local gauge-invariant models of interacting fields with spins 3, 1 and 0 are found. The construction of the models is completely based on the new approach to the deformation problem proposed in our papers (Buchbinder and Lavrov in JHEP…
Reciprocal space measurements of spin diffusion in a single crystal of calcium fluoride (CaF$_2$) have been extended to dipolar ordered states. The experimental results for the component of the spin diffusion parallel with the external…
We define a set of boundary conditions that ensure the presence of a null hypersurface with the essential characteristics of a horizon, using the formalism of weakly isolated horizons as a guide. We then determine the diffeomorphisms that…
Current theories of particle physics, including the standard model, are dominated by the paradigm that nature is basically translation invariant. Deviations from translation invariance are described by the action of forces. General…
We discuss various issues related to the understanding of the conformal anomaly matching in CFT from the dual holographic viewpoint. First, we act with a PBH diffeomorphism on a generic 5D RG flow geometry and show that the corresponding…
Diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in synthesizing realistic images, spurring interest in using their representations for various downstream tasks. To better understand the robustness of these representations, we…
The problem of spin diffusion is studied numerically in one-dimensional classical Heisenberg model using a deterministic odd even spin precession dynamics. We demonstrate that spin diffusion in this model, like energy diffusion, is normal…
If G is a (connected) complex Lie Group and Z is a generalized flag manifold for G, the the open orbits D of a (connected) real form G_0 of G form an interesting class of complex homogeneous spaces, which play an important role in the…
We construct a gauge-fixing procedure in the path integral for gravitational models with branes and boundaries. This procedure incorporates a set of gauge conditions which gauge away effectively decoupled diffeomorphisms acting in the…
The conformal anomaly and the Virasoro algebra are fundamental aspects of 2D conformal field theory and conformally covariant models in planar random geometry. In this article, we explicitly derive the Virasoro algebra from an…
