We describe and solve a double scaling limit of large N Yang-Mills theory on a two-dimensional torus. We find the exact strong-coupling expansion in this limit and describe its relation to the conventional Gross-Taylor series. The limit…
For a compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold with toroidal boundary that is not the product of a torus and an interval or a cable space, each boundary torus has a finite set of slopes such that, if avoided, the Thurston norm of a Dehn…
The reduced system in the problem of the inertial motion of a rigid body with a fixed point (the Euler case) is equivalent, by the Maupertuis principle, to some geodesic flow on the 2-sphere. We describe the phase topology of this case…
We study the pressure, $P$, of SU($N$) gauge theory on a two-dimensional torus as a function of area, $A=l/t$. We find a cross-over scale that separates the system on a large circle from a system on a small circle at any finite temperature.…
Let a torus $T$ act freely on a closed manifold $M$ of dimension at least two. We demonstrate that, for a generic $T$-invariant Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$, each real $\Delta_g$-eigenspace is an irreducible real representation of $T$ and,…
For $N \geq 2$, we study a certain sequence $(\rho_p^{(c_p)})$ of N-dimensional representations of the mapping class group of the one-holed torus arising from SO(3)-TQFT, and show that the conjecture of Andersen, Masbaum, and Ueno \cite{1}…
Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation of SU(N) live on a two dimensional torus flatly embedded in $R^4$. They interact with a four dimensional SU(N) Yang Mills vector potential preserving a global chiral symmetry at finite $N$.…
We discuss an infinite--dimensional k\"ahlerian manifold associated with the area--preserving diffeomorphisms on two--dimensional torus, and, correspondingly, with a continuous limit of the $A_r$--Toda system. In particular, a continuous…
We prove that if an $n$-dimensional space $X$ satisfies certain topological conditions then any triangulation of $X$ as well as any its representation as a simplicial set with contractible faces has at least $2^n$ faces of dimension $n$.…
We explore the large-N limits of 2d CFTs, focusing mostly on WZW models and their cosets. The $SU(N)_k$ theory is parametrized in this limit by a 't Hooft-like coupling. We show a duality between strong coupling, where the theory is…
We compute the torsion-free linear maps from the Lie algebra su(2) into itself, deduce a new determination of the integrable complex structures and their equivalence classes under the action of the automorphism group for u(2) and…
The $\pi_2$-diffeomorphism finiteness result (\cite{FR1,2}, \cite{PT}) asserts that the diffeomorphic types of compact $n$-manifolds $M$ with vanishing first and second homotopy groups can be bounded above in terms of $n$, and upper bounds…
We introduce a Geometry Informed Model for financial forecasting by embedding high dimensional market data onto constant curvature 2manifolds. Guided by the uniformization theorem, we model market dynamics as Brownian motion on spherical…
The present paper considers two infinite families of cone-manifolds endowed with spherical metric. The singular strata is either the torus knot ${\rm t}(2n+1, 2)$ or the torus link ${\rm t}(2n, 2)$. Domains of existence for a spherical…
We construct area-preserving real analytic diffeomorphisms of the torus with unbounded growth sequences of arbitrarily slow growth.
We construct a $C^\infty$ area-preserving diffeomorphism of the two-dimensional torus which is Bernoulli (in particular, ergodic) with respect to Lebesgue measure, homotopic to the identity, and has a lift to the universal covering whose…
We consider Riemannian metrics compatible with the natural symplectic structure on T^2 x M, where T^2 is a symplectic 2-Torus and M is a closed symplectic manifold. To each such metric we attach the corresponding Laplacian and consider its…
We revisit the reduction of type II supergravity on SU(3) structure manifolds, conjectured to lead to gauged N=2 supergravity in 4 dimensions. The reduction proceeds by expanding the invariant 2- and 3-forms of the SU(3) structure as well…
In this paper, we prove a spectral restriction theorem on the three-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold. Since this manifold is an $\mathbb S^1$-bundle over the flat torus $\mathbb T^2$, the result provides a sub-elliptic counterpart of…
Using a $q$-deformed Moyal algebra associated with the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms of th two-dimensional torus $T^2$, sdiff$_q (T^2)$, a $q$-deformed version for the Heavenly equations is given. Finally, the two-dimensional…
