The objective of this introduction to Colombeau algebras of generalized-functions (in which distributions can be freely multiplied) is to explain in elementary terms the essential concepts necessary for their application to basic non-linear…
We develop a formalism that allows us to write actions for multiple D-branes with manifest general covariance. While the matrix coordinates of the D-branes have a complicated transformation law under coordinate transformations, we find that…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions to characterize the convergence in distribution of a sequence of arbitrary random variables to a probability distribution which is the invariant measure of a diffusion process. This class of…
Modelling of singularities given by discontinuous functions or distributions by means of generalized functions has proved useful in many problems posed by physical phenomena. We introduce in a systematic way generalized functions of…
The theory of matrix models is reviewed from the point of view of its relation to integrable hierarchies. Determinantal formulas, relation to conformal field models and the theory of Generalized Kontsevich model are discussed in some…
We study a non-pointed version of the notion of torsion theory in the framework of categories equipped with a posetal monocoreflective subcategory such that the coreflector inverts monomorphisms. We explore the connections of such torsion…
We provide estimates for the convolution product of an arbitrary number of "resurgent functions", that is holomorphic germs at the origin of $C$ that admit analytic continuation outside a closed discrete subset of $C$ which is stable under…
We develop a theory to represent dislocated single crystals at the mesoscopic scale by considering concentrated effects, governed by the distribution theory combined with multiple-valued kinematic fields. Our approach gives a new…
This application of nonstandard analysis utilizes the notion of the highly-staturated enlargement. These nonstandard methods clarify many aspects of the theory of generalized functions (distributions).
The generalized gamma convolutions class of distributions appeared in Thorin's work while looking for the infinite divisibility of the log-Normal and Pareto distributions. Although these distributions have been extensively studied in the…
We study the class of noncommutative theories in $d$ dimensions whose spatial coordinates $(x_i)_{i=1}^d$ can be obtained by performing a smooth change of variables on $(y_i)_{i=1}^d$, the coordinates of a standard noncommutative theory,…
A consistent classical mechanics formulation is presented in such a way that, under quantization, it gives a noncommutative quantum theory with interesting new features. The Dirac formalism for constrained Hamiltonian systems is strongly…
I discuss the relation between harmonic polynomials and invariant theory and show that homogeneous, harmonic polynomials correspond to ternary forms that are apolar to a base conic (the absolute). The calculation of Schlesinger that…
A wide class of physical distributions appears to follow the q-Gaussian form, which plays the role of attractor according to a Central Limit Theorem generalized in the presence of specific correlations between the relevant random variables.…
We give a survey of the use of infinitesimals within mathematical analysis to rigorously deal with the delta-function from physics, and more generally, with distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. We use the framework of nonstandard…
The classical theory of symmetric functions has a central position in algebraic combinatorics, bridging aspects of representation theory, combinatorics, and enumerative geometry. More recently, this theory has been fruitfully extended to…
We give a short survey on generalizations of Nevanlinna's theorems on zero distribution of bounded holomorphic functions and representation of meromorphic functions in multiply connected domains. It is a part of our report in the conference…
We introduce simple group-theoretic techniques for classifying conformally-invariant tensor-structures. With them, we classify tensor structures of general n-point functions of non-conserved operators, and $n\geq 4$-point functions of…
Recent work on the quantization of Maxwell theory has used a non-covariant class of gauge-averaging functionals which include explicitly the effects of the extrinsic-curvature tensor of the boundary, or covariant gauges which, unlike the…
Aubry-Mather is traditionally concerned with Tonelli Hamiltonian (convex and super-linear). In \cite{Vi,MVZ}, Mather's $\alpha$ function is recovered from the homogenization of symplectic capacities. This allows the authors to extend the…
