Let G be a discrete group and $\Gamma$ an almost normal subgroup. The operation of cosets concatanation extended by linearity gives rise to an operator system that is embeddable in a natural C* algebra. The Hecke algebra naturally embeds as…
The inevitability of Chern--Simons terms in constructing a variety of physical models, and the mathematical advances they in turn generate, illustrates the unexpected but profound interactions between the two disciplines.
A collective coordinate theory is develop for soliton ratchets in the damped discrete sine-Gordon model driven by a biharmonic force. An ansatz with two collective coordinates, namely the center and the width of the soliton, is assumed as…
We investigate the geometry of correspondences between curves, and prove that correspondences over a non-Archimedean valued field have potentially stable reduction, generalising and strengthening results of Coleman and Liu. This yields a…
Recent advances in the theory of complex symmetric operators are presented and related to current studies in non-hermitian quantum mechanics. The main themes of the survey are: the structure of complex symmetric operators, $C$-selfadjoint…
An absolute continuity approach to quasinormality which relates the operator in question to the spectral measure of its modulus is developed. Algebraic characterizations of some classes of operators that emerged in this context are…
Nicolas Monod introduced the class of groups with the fixed-point property for cones, characterized by always admitting a non-zero fixed point whenever acting (suitably) on proper weakly complete cones. He proved that his class of groups…
We consider a four-parameter family of non-Volterra operators defined on the two-dimensional simplex and show that, with one exception, each such operator has a unique fixed point. Depending on the parameters, we establish the type of this…
We discuss ways in which momentum operators can be introduced on an oriented metric graph. A necessary condition appears to the balanced property, or a matching between the numbers of incoming and outgoing edges; we show that a graph…
Supersymmetry might be broken, in the real world, by anomalies that affect composite operators, while leaving the action supersymmetric. New constraint equations that govern the composite operators and their anomalies are examined. It is…
Skewing operators play a central role in the symmetric function theory because of the importance of the product structure of the symmetric function space. The theory of noncommutative symmetric functions is a useful tool for studying…
We generalize the recent results of Chaiken et al. to a rectangular $m\times n$ chessboard. An explicit formula for the number of nonattacking configurations of one-move riders on such a chessboard is calculated in two different ways, one…
It is well known that for a field theory with the Chern-Simons action, expectation values of Wilson line operators are topological invariants. The standard result is expressed in terms of the Gaussian linkings of closed curves defining the…
We study maps on the set of permutations of n generated by the R\'enyi-Foata map intertwined with other dihedral symmetries (of a permutation considered as a 0-1 matrix). Iterating these maps leads to dynamical systems that in some cases…
Some results on fixed points related to the contractive compositions of bounded operators in complete metric spaces are discussed through the manuscript. The class of composite operators under study can include, in particular, sequences of…
In this paper we give a trace formula for Hecke operators acting on the cohomology of a Fuchsian group of finite covolume, with coefficients in a module $V$. The proof is based on constructing an operator whose trace on $V$ equals the…
We discuss some results concerning fixed point equations in the setting of topological *-algebras of unbounded operators. In particular, an existence result is obtained for what we have called {\em weak $\tau$ strict contractions}, and some…
We present some results on the monotonicity of some traces involving functions of self-adjoint operators with respect to the natural ordering of their associated quadratic forms. We also apply these results to complete a proof of the Wegner…
We exploit a uniform recursive procedure using preferred contractions of targets $C_*$ to construct morphisms $B_* \to C_*$ between chain complexes in a wide variety of situations. Examples include classical Alexander-Whitney and…
Fixpoint operators are tools to reason on recursive programs and data types obtained by induction (e.g. lists, trees) or coinduction (e.g. streams). They were given a categorical treatment with the notion of categories with fixpoints. A…
