We establish common fixed point theorems for two pairs of weakly compatible self-mappings using an auxiliary function of two variables. Unlike classical results, our theorems do not assume continuity of the mappings and require completeness…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of standard homogeneous $(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$-metrics, as a natural non-Riemannian deformation for the normal homogeneous Riemannian metrics. We prove that with respect to the given bi-invariant inner…
We derive a generalization of the flat space Yang's and Newman's equations for self-dual Yang-Mills fields to (locally) conformally Kahler Riemannian 4-manifolds. The results also apply to Einstein metrics (whose full curvature is not…
We develop a monotone, two-scale discretization for a class of integrodifferential operators of order $2s$, $s \in (0,1)$. We apply it to develop numerical schemes, and derive pointwise convergence rates, for linear and obstacle problems…
We generalize our previous lattice construction of the abelian bosonization duality in $2+1$ dimensions to the entire web of dualities as well as the $N_f=2$ self-duality, via the lattice implementation of a set of modular transformations…
In this note, we propose an extension of the Wasserstein 1-metric ($W_1$) for matrix probability densities, matrix-valued density measures, and an unbalanced interpretation of mass transport. The key is using duality theory, in particular,…
Let $X$ be a closed, oriented four-manifold with $b_2^+ \leq 3$, and suppose $X$ contains a collection of pairwise disjoint embedded $(-2)$-spheres. We prove that there is a Riemannian metric on $X$ such that the Poincare dual of each of…
We consider a generalization of Riemannian geometry that naturally arises in the framework of control theory. Let $X$ and $Y$ be two smooth vector fields on a two-dimensional manifold $M$. If $X$ and $Y$ are everywhere linearly independent,…
A differential form defined on a Riemannian manifold is said to harmonic if it is closed and co-closed. Harmonic differential forms are a natural multi-dimensional extension of the concept of analytic function of complex variable. In this…
We derive the stability result of the dual curvature measure with near constant density in the even case. As an application, the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the even dual Minkowski problem for positive indices in…
We study discrete (duality) symmetries of functional determinants. An exact transformation of the effective action under the inversion of background fields $\beta (x) \to \beta^{-1}(x)$ is found. We show that in many cases this inversion…
The same complex matrix model calculates both tachyon scattering for the c=1 non-critical string at the self-dual radius and certain correlation functions of half-BPS operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills. It is dual to another complex matrix…
On a smooth connected manifold, we consider all possible locally elliptic and locally bounded measurable coefficient Riemannian metrics called rough Riemannian metrics. We equip this set with an extended metric which is connected if and…
A formula for the Riemannian metric tensor of differentiable manifolds of linear dynamical systems of same McMillan degree is presented in terms of their transfer function matrices. The necessary calculations for its application to ARMA and…
The properties of Dirac gamma matrices in a four-dimensional space-time with the $(2,2)$ signature are studied. The basic spinors are classified, and the existence of Majorana-Weyl spinors is noted. Supersymmetry in $2 + 2$ dimensions is…
Let $I_{\nu}(x)$ and $K_{\nu}(x)$ be the first and second kind modified Bessel functions. It is shown that the nullclines of the Riccati equation satisfied by $x^{\alpha} \Phi_{i,\nu}(x)$, $i=1,2$, with…
We derive a manifestly duality-symmetric formulation of the action principle for conformal gravity linearized around Minkowski space-time. The analysis is performed in the Hamiltonian formulation, the fourth-order character of the equations…
In this paper an additive regression model for a symmetric positive-definite matrix valued response and multiple scalar predictors is proposed. The model exploits the abelian group structure inherited from either the Log-Cholesky metric or…
Affine Grassmann codes are a variant of generalized Reed-Muller codes and are closely related to Grassmann codes. These codes were introduced in a recent work [2]. Here we consider, more generally, affine Grassmann codes of a given level.…
It is found that the exact beta-function $\beta(g)$ of the continuous 2D $g\Phi^{4}$ model possesses two types of dual symmetries, these being the Kramers-Wannier (KW) duality symmetry and the weak-strong-coupling symmetry $f(g)$, or…
