Over the past few decades, tremendous efforts have been devoted to understanding self-duality at the quantum critical point, which enlarges the global symmetry and constrains the dynamics. In this letter, we employ large-scale density…

We consider second-order phase transitions in which the order parameter is a replicated overlap matrix. We focus on a tricritical point that occurs in a variety of mean-field models and that, more generically, describes higher order…

We study global regularity of nonlinear systems of partial differential equations depending on the symmetric part of the gradient with Dirichlet boundary conditions. These systems arise from variational problems in plasticity with power…

Systems where time evolution follows a multiplicative process are ubiquitous in physics. We study a toy model for such systems where each time step is given by multiplication with an independent random $N\times N$ matrix with complex…

A finite array of $N$ globally coupled Stratonovich models exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition. In the limit of strong coupling there is a clear separation of time scales of center of mass and relative coordinates. The…

We study the generalized Lam\'e equation on an elliptic curve $E$ with multiple singularities. By restricting to the locus admitting solutions with quasi-periodic properties, we construct two curves: (i) The generalized Lam'e curve: with…

We study the local statistics of orthogonal polynomial ensembles near a hard edge, subject to a multiplicative deformation of the measure. Probabilistically, this deformation corresponds to a position-dependent conditional thinning of the…

The critical loci of a map $f:X\to Y$ between smooth schemes over a field $k$ are the locally closed subschemes $\Sigma^i(f)\subseteq X$ where the differential of $f$ has constant rank. We prove that if $f : X\to \mathbb A^r$ is the general…

We prove that the topological recursion formalism can be used to quantize any generic classical spectral curve with smooth ramification points and simply ramified away from poles. For this purpose, we build both the associated quantum…

We consider a long-range percolation model on homogeneous oriented trees with several lengths. We obtain the critical surface as the set of zeros of a specific polynomial with coefficients depending explicitly on the lengths and the degree…

We compute an upper bound for the dimension of the tangent spaces at classical points of certain eigenvarieties associated with definite unitary groups, especially including the so-called critically refined cases. Our bound is given in…

We consider the operator $F(u) = u' + f(t,u(t))$ acting on periodic real valued functions. Generically, critical points of $F$ are infinite dimensional Morin-like singularities and we provide operational characterizations of the…

The mean-field optical phase transition in multimode equal-coupling photonic networks is studied by temporal evolution of the nonlinear equations of motion of the coupled modes. Analogies to statistical mechanics models of interacting…

While invariant architectures are standard for processing symmetric data, there is growing interest in achieving invariance by applying group averaging or canonization to non-invariant backbones. However, the theoretical generalization…

An interfacial approximation of the streamer stage in the evolution of sparks and lightning can be written as a Laplacian growth model regularized by a `kinetic undercooling' boundary condition. We study the linear stability of uniformly…

The depinning transition of elastic interfaces with an elastic interaction kernel decaying as $1/r^{d+\sigma}$ is characterized by critical exponents which continuously vary with $\sigma$. These exponents are expected to be unique and…

We present models where $\gamma_+$ and $\gamma_-$, the exponents of the susceptibility in the high and low temperature phases, are generically different. In these models, continuous symmetries are explicitly broken down by discrete…

We introduce perhaps the simplest models of graph evolution with choice that demonstrate discontinuous percolation transitions and can be analyzed via mathematical evolution equations. These models are local, in the sense that at each step…

We consider the problem of bounding the dimension of the linear system of curves in ${\bf P}^2$ of degree $d$ with prescribed multiplicities $m_1,...,m_n$ at $n$ general points (\cite{Hir1},\cite{Hir2}). We propose a new method, based on…

We study exact renormalization group equations in the framework of the effective average action. We present analytical solutions for the scale dependence of the potential in a variety of models. These solutions display a rich spectrum of…
