We deduce the structure of the Dirac field on the lattice from the discrete version of differential geometry and from the representation of the integral Lorentz transformations. The analysis of the induced representations of the Poincare…
We review properties of closed meromorphic $1$-forms and of the foliations defined by them. We present and explain classical results from foliation theory, like index theorems, the existence of separatrices, and resolution of singularities…
In this contribution we discuss flat discrete-time nonlinear systems in a general setting including two special subclasses, namely, forward- and backward-flat systems. We relate rank conditions for certain submatrices of the Jacobian of the…
Properties of partial integrals such as real and complex-valued polynomial, multiple polynomial, exponential, and conditional for ordinary differential systems are studied. The possibilities of constructing first integrals and last…
This is the expanded version of my talk at the workshop "Groups of Automorphisms in Birational and Affine Geometry", October 29--November 3, 2012, Levico Terme, Italy. The first section is focused on Jordan groups in abstract setting, the…
Differential systems with a Fuchsian linear part are studied in regions including all the singularities in the complex plane of these equations. Such systems are not necessarily analytically equivalent to their linear part (they are not…
The fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ is the prototypical non-local elliptic operator. While analytical theory has been advanced and understood for some time, there remain many open problems in the numerical analysis of the…
We obtain a refinement of Manin-Mumford (Raynaud's Theorem) for abelian schemes over some ring of integers. Torsion points are replaced by special 0-cycles, that is reductions modulo some, possibly varying, prime of Galois orbits of torsion…
We provide a pedagogical introduction to some aspects of integrability, dualities and deformations of physical systems in 0+1 and in 1+1 dimensions. In particular, we concentrate on the T-duality of point particles and strings as well as on…
Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $V$ be a fixed finite-dimensional $G$-module. The Poincar\'{e} series for the multiplicities of induced modules and restriction modules in the tensor algebra $T(V)=\oplus_{k \geq…
Kontsevich's formality theorem states that the differential graded Lie algebra of multidifferential operators on a manifold M is L-infinity-quasi-isomorphic to its cohomology. The construction of the L-infinity map is given in terms of…
This paper is an elaborated version of the material presented by the author in a three hour minicourse at "V International Course of Mathematical Analysis in Andalusia," Almeria, Spain, September 12-16, 2011. Part I is devoted to an…
The method of variational completion allows one to transform an (in principle, arbitrary) system of partial differential equations -- based on an intuitive ``educated guess'' -- into the Euler-Lagrange one attached to a Lagrangian, by…
This thesis pertains to the study of elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations on "thin" structures. The first main objective is to establish the strong and weak low-dimensional counterparts of the parabolic Neumann problem. The…
These notes grew out of a mini-course given by the second-named author at Casa Matem\'atica Oaxaca in the Fall of 2022. Their purpose is to provide an exposition, directed at graduate students, of the basic properties of complex analytic…
I present a selection of conceptual and mathematical problems in the foundations of modern physics as they derive from the title question. Contribution to a panel session, "Springer Forum: Quantum Structures -- Physical, Mathematical and…
We consider the Lie-algebraic notion of commutant in the setting of Poisson algebra. This provides a framework for deforming Hamiltonian differential equations. By taking a subalgebra of the algebra of integrals, and considering the set of…
These are the lecture notes from a course given in July 2005 at the summer school in Les Houches. We describe some recent results concerning two-dimensional conformally invariant systems. In particular, we discuss conformally invariant…
The paper develops a $(2+2)$-imbedding formalism adapted to a double foliation of spacetime by a net of two intersecting families of lightlike hypersurfaces. The formalism is two-dimensionally covariant, and leads to simple, geometrically…
