In this note, we prove that any tau-function of the KdV hierarchy also solves the BKP hierarchy after a simple rescaling of times.
Soliton theory and the theory of Hankel (and Toeplitz) operators have stayed essentially hermetic to each other. This paper is concerned with linking together these two very active and extremely large theories. On the prototypical example…
For two solutions of the WDVV equations that are related by two types of symmetries of the equations given by Dubrovin, we show that the associated principal hierarchies of integrable systems are related by certain reciprocal…
A characterization of $\mathbb{Z} _t \times \mathbb{Z}_2^2$-cocyclic Hadamard matrices is described, depending on the notions of {\em distributions}, {\em ingredients} and {\em recipes}. In particular, these notions lead to the…
The Haar functional on the quantum $SU(2)$ group is the analogue of invariant integration on the group $SU(2)$. If restricted to a subalgebra generated by a self-adjoint element the Haar functional can be expressed as an integral with a…
The trace of the heat kernel is expanded in a basis of nonlocal curvature invariants of $N$th order. The coefficients of this expansion (the nonlocal form factors) are calculated to third order in the curvature inclusive. The early-time and…
Let v be a real polynomial of even degree, and let \rho be the equilibrium probability measure for v with support S; so that v(x)\geq 2\int \log |x-y| \rho (dy)+C_v for some constant C_v with support S. Then S is the union of finitely many…
We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…
We introduce a new method for computing the heat invariants of a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold based on a result by S.Agmon and Y.Kannai. Two explicit expressions for the heat invariants are presented. The first one depends on the…
We consider the heat equations satisfied by the sigma function associated with a planar curve, extending and developing earlier pioneering work of Buchstaber and Leykin. These heat equations lead to useful {\em linear} recursive relations…
We present a number of combinatorial characterizations of K-matrices. This extends a theorem of Fiedler and Ptak on linear-algebraic characterizations of K-matrices to the setting of oriented matroids. Our proof is elementary and simplifies…
We study the nature of the covariant thermodynamic geometry arising from the free energy of hot QCD. We systematically analyze the underlying equilibrium thermodynamic configurations of the free energy of 2- and 3-flavor hot QCD with or…
We introduce a framework within which a large class of joint equidistribution problems can be studied and resolved with effective error terms. This involves proving a higher dimensional and $\mu$-analogue of the Erd\"{o}s-Tur\'{a}n…
We consider the KdV-Burgers equation and its linear version in presence of a delay feedback. We prove well-posedness of the models and exponential decay estimates under appropriate conditions on the damping coefficients. Our arguments rely…
We give first-order asymptotic expansions for the resolvent and Hadamard-type formulas for the eigenvalue curves of one-parameter families of canonically symplectic operators. We allow for parameter dependence in the boundary conditions,…
Our earlier results on the temperature inversion properties and the ellipticisation of the finite temperature internal energy on odd spheres are extended to orbifold factors of odd spheres and then to other thermodynamic quantities, in…
Let us consider a time-dependent differential operator quadratic with respect to the phase variables. Let us consider a multiplication operator defined with the help of a "small" matrix-valued function. Under suitable conditions, we give an…
In this paper, we study the heat equation with an irregular spatially dependent thermal conductivity coefficient. We prove that it has a solution in an appropriate very weak sense. Moreover, the uniqueness result and consistency with the…
Spectral functions relevant in the context of quantum field theory under the influence of spherically symmetric external conditions are analysed. Examples comprise heat-kernels, determinants and spectral sums needed for the analysis of…
Based on the theory of Dunkl operators, this paper presents a general concept of multivariable Hermite polynomials and Hermite functions which are associated with finite reflection groups on $\b R^N$. The definition and properties of these…
