We formulate a connection between a topological and a geometric category. The former is the idempotent completion of the (horizontal) trace of the affine Hecke category, while the latter is the equivariant derived category of the…
In this article, we introduce the notion of stochastic symmetry of a differential equation. It consists in a stochastic flow that acts over a solution of a differential equation and produces another solution of the same equation. In the…
We find the complete equivalence group of a class of (1+1)-dimensional second-order evolution equations, which is infinite-dimensional. The equivariant moving frame methodology is invoked to construct, in the regular case of the…
Classical particle mechanics on curved spaces is related to the flow of ideal fluids, by a dual interpretation of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. As in second quantization, the procedure relates the description of a system with a finite…
We consider the Hamiltonian renormalisation group flow of discretised one-dimensional physical theories. In particular, we investigate the influence the choice of different embedding maps has on the RG flow and the resulting continuum…
This paper is mainly about an early result that the orbifold stack is globally representable via some $ \infty $-categorical techniques.
We associate a t-structure to a family of objects in D(A), the derived category of a Grothendieck category A. Using general results on t-structures, we give a new proof of Rickard's theorem on equivalence of bounded derived categories of…
In this paper a method of constructing a semiorthogonal decomposition of the derived category of $G$-equivariant sheaves on a variety $X$ is described, provided that the derived category of sheaves on $X$ admits a semiorthogonal…
In this chapter, we discuss avalanches in glasses and disordered systems, and the macroscopic dynamical behavior that they mediate. We briefly review three classes of systems where avalanches are observed: depinning transition of disordered…
This elementary survey article was prepared for a talk at the 2016 Superschool on Derived Categories and D-branes. The goal is to outline an identification of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a Calabi-Yau threefold with…
We introduce `atomic flows': they are graphs obtained from derivations by tracing atom occurrences and forgetting the logical structure. We study simple manipulations of atomic flows that correspond to complex reductions on derivations.…
On one hand, together with Pelle Steffens, we recently characterized the infinity category of derived manifolds up to equivalence by a universal property. On the other hand, it is shown in recent work of Behrend-Liao-Xu that the category of…
Automating the derivation of published results is a challenge, in part due to the informal use of mathematics by physicists, compared to that of mathematicians. Following demand, we describe a method for converting informal hand-written…
The notion of relative derived category with respect to a subcategory is introduced. A triangle-equivalence, which extends a theorem of Gao and Zhang [Gorenstein derived categories, \emph{J. Algebra} \textbf{323} (2010) 2041-2057] to the…
A non technical introduction to the concept of renormalization is given, with an emphasis on the energy scale dependence in the description of a physical system. We first describe the idea of scale dependence in the study of a ferromagnetic…
The result from developing and applying the notions of functional self-similarity and the Bogoliubov renormalization group to boundary-value problems in mathematical physics during the last decade are reviewed. The main achievement is the…
Given a variety $Y$ with a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, we consider a degree $n$ cyclic cover $X \to Y$ ramified over a divisor $Z \subset Y$. We construct semiorthogonal decompositions of $\mathrm{D^b}(X)$…
Let $X$ be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme. There are two fundamental and pervasive facts about the unbounded derived category of $X$: (1) $\mathsf{D}_{\mathrm{qc}}(X)$ is compactly generated by perfect complexes and (2) if $X$…
This is an invited contribution to the 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, that provides a very short survey of derived symplectic geometry. Derived symplectic geometry studies symplectic structures on derived stacks.…
The quantum Lefschetz formula explains how virtual fundamental classes (or structure sheaves) of moduli stacks of stable maps behave when passing from an ambient target scheme to the zero locus of a section. It is only valid under special…
