A procedure for constructing bivariant theories by means of Grothendieck duality is developed. This produces, in particular, a bivariant theory of Hochschild (co)homology on the category of schemes that are flat, separated and essentially…
We analyse a new notion of total anisotropic higher-order variation which, differently from the Total Generalized Variation by Bredies et al., quantifies for possibly non-symmetric tensor fields their variations at arbitrary order weighted…
Motivated by many recent constructions of permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$, we study permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ in terms of their coefficients. Based on the multivariate method and resultant elimination,…
Recently, P. Yuan presented a local method to find permutation polynomials and their compositional inverses over finite fields. The work of P. Yuan inspires us to compute the compositional inverses of three classes of the permutation…
We review in simple terms the covariant approaches to the canonical formulation of classical relativistic field theories (in particular gauge field theories and general relativity) and we discuss the relationships between these approaches…
We introduce a class of random fields that can be understood as discrete versions of multi-colour polygonal fields built on regular linear tessellations. We focus fir st on consistent polygonal fields, for which we show Markovianity and…
This is a report on a talk to high school mathematics students. It gives some combinatorial connections for the entries of the boustrophedon triangle whose sides are the Taylor coefficients for the tangent and secant functions.
In this paper, we investigate certain graded-commutative rings which are related to the reciprocal plane compactification of the coordinate ring of a complement of a hyperplane arrangement. We give a presentation of these rings by…
We consider four properties of a field $K$ related to the existence of (definable) henselian valuations on $K$ and on elementarily equivalent fields, and study the implications between them. Surprisingly, the full pictures look very…
We develop and study a generalization of commutative rings called bands, along with the corresponding geometric theory of band schemes. Bands generalize both hyperrings, in the sense of Krasner, and partial fields in the sense of Semple and…
In this thesis my papers hep-th/0104190, hep-th/0310214, hep-th/0405072 and hep-th/0406065 are put into context. The thesis is mainly focused on noncommutative field theory and string theory, so results in the papers that are not related to…
Algebraic statistics for binary random variables is concerned with highly structured algebraic varieties in the space of 2x2x...x2-tensors. We demonstrate the advantages of representing such varieties in the coordinate system of binary…
We give some general properties of good and bad reduction, and some recent examples (worked out with Dipendra Prasad) of varieties having bad reduction not accounted for by their cohomology. We include some consequences of our remarks for…
The Bernstein-Sato polynomial is an important invariant of an element or an ideal in a polynomial ring or power series ring of characteristic zero, with interesting connections to various algebraic and topological aspects of the…
This paper has been withdrawn. A much-improved version can be found at hep-ph/0209176.
New relations between algebraic geometry, information theory and Topological Field Theory are developed. One considers models of databases subject to noise i.e. probability distributions on finite sets, related to exponential families. We…
Each irreducible component of the first resonance variety of a hyperplane arrangement naturally determines a codimension one foliation on the ambient space. The superposition of these foliations define what we call the resonance web of the…
The principle of local covariance which was recently introduced admits a generally covariant formulation of quantum field theory. It allows a discussion of structural properties of quantum field theory as well as the perturbative…
The paper summarizes elements of theories and computational methods that we have constructed and applied over the years for the nonperturbative solution of many electron problems, in the absence or presence of strong external fields,…
We prove positivity results about linearization and connection coefficients for Bessel polynomials. The proof is based on a recursion formula and explicit formulas for the coefficients in special cases. The result implies that the…
