We suggest a finite element method for computing minimal surfaces based on computing a discrete Laplace-Beltrami operator operating on the coordinates of the surface. The surface is a discrete representation of the zero level set of a…
We use a modified Bochner technique to derive an inequality relating the nodal set of eigenspinors to eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on closed surfaces. In addition, we apply this technique to solutions of similar spinorial equations.

We study a 1-cocycle on the fatgraph complex of a punctured surface introduced by Penner. We present an explicit cobounding cochain for this cocycle, whose formula involves a summation over trivalent vertices of a trivalent fatgraph spine.…
Sign changes in sums of arithmetic functions and their inverses are a subtle topic with room to grow new results. Suppose that $S_f(x) := \sum_{n \leq x} f(n)$ is the summatory function of some arithmetic function $f$ such that $f(1) \neq…
We study the presence of abelian discrete symmetries in globally consistent orientifold compactifications based on rational conformal field theory. We extend previous work [1] by allowing the discrete symmetries to be a linear combination…
This work studies limits of Pfaffian systems, a class of first-order PDEs appearing in the Feynman integral calculus. Such limits appear naturally in the context of scattering amplitudes when there is a separation of scale in a given set of…
