We introduce the quadratic harness condition and show that integrable quadratic harnesses have orthogonal martingale polynomials with a three step recurrence that satisfies a q-commutation relation. This implies that quadratic harnesses are…
We consider weighted shift operators having the property of moment infinite divisibility; that is, for any $p > 0$, the shift is subnormal when every weight (equivalently, every moment) is raised to the $p$-th power. By reconsidering…
It is proved that each bounded injective bilateral weighted shift $W$ satisfying the equality $W^{*n}W^{n}=(W^{*}W)^{n}$ for some integer $n\geq 2$ is quasinormal. For any integer $n\geq 2$, an example of a bounded non-quasinormal weighted…
Given a bounded sequence \omega of positive numbers and its associated unilateral weighted shift W_{\omega} acting on the Hilbert space \ell^2(\mathbb{Z}_+), we consider natural representations of W_{\omega} as a 2-variable weighted shift,…
The existence of multiple anomalous U(1)s is demonstrated explicitly in a blow-up version of a heterotic Z_3 orbifold. Another blow-up of the same orbifold supports further evidence for the type-I/heterotic duality in four dimensions. It…
Tsallis' q-Fourier transform is not generally one-to-one. It is shown here that, if we eliminate the requirement that $q$ be fixed, and let it instead "float", a simple extension of the $F_q-$definition, this procedure restores the…
In this note we prove a non-renormalization theorem for the 3-point functions of 1/2 BPS primaries in the four-dimensional N = 4 SYM and chiral primaries in two dimensional N =(4,4) SCFTs. Our proof is rather elementary: it is based on Ward…
In this paper we initiate the study of a fundamental yet untapped random model of non-selfadjoint, bounded linear operators acting on a separable complex Hilbert space. We replace the weights $w_n=1$ in the classical unilateral shift $T$,…
We give a quantitative interpretation of the Frequent Hypercyclicity Criterion. Actually we show that an operator which satisfies the Frequent Hypercyclicity Criterion is necessarily A-frequently hypercyclic, where A refers to some weighted…
We give the first example of a transitive quadratic map whose real and complex geometric pressure functions have a high-order phase transition. In fact, near the phase transition these functions behave as $x \mapsto \exp (- 1 / x^2)$ near…
It is shown that for a bounded weighted bilateral shift $T$ acting on $\ell_p(\Z)$ for $1\leq p\leq 2$ supercyclicity of $T$, weak supercyclicity of $T$, cyclicity of $T\oplus T$ and cyclicity of $T^2$ are equivalent. A new sufficient…
We discuss the importance of using partially quenched theories with three degenerate quarks for extrapolating to QCD, and present some relevant results from chiral perturbation theory.
We first give a note on disjoint hypercyclicity for invertible bilateral pseudo-shifts on $\ell^{p}(\mathbb{Z})$, $1\leq p <\infty$. It is already known that if a tuple of bilateral weighted shifts on $\ell^{p}(\mathbb{Z})$, $1\leq p…
We classify special self-birational transformations of the smooth quadric threefold and fourfold, $Q^3$ and $Q^4$. It turns out that there is only one such example in each dimension. In the case of $Q^3$, it is given by the linear system of…
If $T$ is a polynomially bounded operator, $\mathcal M$ is an invariant subspace of $T$, $T|_{\mathcal M}$ is a unilateral shift and $T^*|_{\mathcal M^\perp}$ is subnormal, then $T$ has a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace. If an operator…
We give the first example of a quadratic map having a phase transition after the first zero of the geometric pressure function. This implies that several dimension spectra and large deviation rate functions associated to this map are not…
We study one-loop quantum corrections to gauge couplings in heterotic vacua with spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. Although in non-supersymmetric constructions these corrections are not protected and are typically model dependent, we show…
We establish a characterization of unitary equivalence of two bilateral operator valued weighted shifts with quasi-invertible weights by an operator of diagonal form. We also present an example of unitary equivalence between shifts defined…
We present the first nonlinear term of the higher spin curvature which is covariant with respect to deformed gauge transformations that are linear in the field. We consider in detail the case of spin 3 after presenting spin 2 as an example,…
It is shown that a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere admits at most nine integral surgeries yielding 3-manifolds which are reducible or whose fundamental groups are not infinite word-hyperbolic.
