We study higher analogues of effective and effectual topological complexity of spaces equipped with a group action. These are $G$-homotopy invariant and are motivated by the (higher) motion planning problem of $G$-spaces for which their…

Generalized geometry provides the framework for a systematic approach to non-symmetric metric gravity theory and naturally leads to an Einstein-Kalb-Ramond gravity theory with totally anti-symmetric contortion. The approach is related to…

We introduce a new class of collider-type observables in conformal field theories which we call generalized event shapes. They are defined as matrix elements of light-ray operators that are sensitive to the longitudinal, or time-dependent,…

We extend the notions of nonautonomous dynamics to arbitrary groups, through groupoid morphisms. This also presents a generalization of classic dynamical systems and group actions. We introduce the structure of cotranslations, as a specific…

We present a unified approach to (bi-)orthogonal basis sets for gravitating systems. Central to our discussion is the notion of mutual gravitational energy, which gives rise to the self-energy inner product on mass densities. We consider a…

Generalized cycles can be thought of as the extension of form-cycle duality between holomorphic forms and cycles, to meromorphic forms and generalized cycles. They appeared as an ubiquitous tool in the study of spectral curves and…

Off-shell effects in generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the pion, appearing, e.g., in the Sullivan process, are considered. Due to the lack of crossing symmetry, the moments of GPDs involve also odd powers of the skewness…

Motivated by the recent developments of gauge-covariant methods in the phase-space, a systematic method is presented aiming at the generalisation of the Moyal star-product to a non-Abelian gauge covariant one at any order. Such an expansion…

We perform a systematic analysis of generic string flux compactifications, making use of Exceptional Generalized Geometry (EGG) as an organizing principle. In particular, we establish the precise map between fluxes, gaugings of maximal 4d…

We present, for the first time, an action principle that gives the equations of motion of an extended body possessing multipole moments in an external gravitational field, in the weak field limit. From the action, the experimentally…

We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed…

It is shown how the well-known class of bihamiltonian structures in general position can be extended to a wider class. A generalization of the corresponding notion of a Veronese web for this wider class is presented (in the general position…

We revisit universal features of duality in linear and nonlinear relativistic scalar and Abelian 1-form theories with single or multiple fields, which exhibit ordinary or generalized global symmetries. We show that such global symmetries…

The action for the D=10 type II Dirichlet super-p-branes, which has been obtained recently, is reconstructed in a more geometrical form involving Lorentz harmonic variables. This new (Lorentz-harmonic) formulation possesses kappa-symmetry…

Planar systems with a general linear spin-orbit interaction (SOI) that can be cast in the form of a non-Abelian pure gauge field are investigated using the language of non-Abelian gauge field theory. A special class of these fields that,…

We describe various expansion schemes that can be used to study gravitational clustering. Obtained from the equations of motion or their path-integral formulation, they provide several perturbative expansions that are organized in different…

We study a large family of generalized class groups of imaginary quadratic orders $O$ and prove that they act freely and (essentially) transitively on the set of primitively $O$-oriented elliptic curves over a field $k$ (assuming this set…

We study higher-order theories of gravitation; in particular, we will focus our attention on the second-order theory, in which conformal symmetry can be implemented.

We construct orbits of the absolute Galois group, of explicit unbounded size, consisting of surfaces with mutually non-isomorphic fundamental groups. These are Beauville surfaces with Beauville group PGL_2(p).

We provide a geometric explanation for the existence of magnification relations for the A, D, E family of caustic singularities, which were established in recent work. In particular, it was shown that for families of general mappings…
