We give a simple proof that a particular class of $N=2$ superstrings are equivalent to the $N=1$ superstrings. This is achieved by constructing a similarity transformation which transforms the $N=2$ BRST operators into a direct sum of the…
Our main result is the proof of an inequality between the spectral numbers of a Lagrangian and the spectral numbers of its reductions, in the opposite direction to the classical inequality (see e.g [Vit92]). This has applications to the…
In this paper, we associate a growth graph and a length operator to a quotient space of a semisimple compact Lie group. Under certain assumptions, we show that the spectral dimension of a homogeneous space is greater than or equal to…
Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $R$ be a (possibly infinite dimensional) finitely presented algebra over a computable field of characteristic zero. We describe an algorithm for deciding (in principle) whether $R$ has at most finitely…
The spectrum of a finite group is a set of its element orders. We prove that if $m>5$ then the group $L_{2^m}(2)\times L_{2^m}(2)\times L_{2^m}(2)$ is uniquely determined by its spectrum in the class of finite groups
One can define the notion of primitive length spectrum for a simple regular periodic graph via counting the orbits of closed reduced primitive cycles under an action of a discrete group of automorphisms. We prove that this primitive length…
We define and study a numerical-range analogue of the notion of spectral set. Among the results obtained are a positivity criterion and a dilation theorem, analogous to those already known for spectral sets. An important difference from the…
The spectrum of a group is the set of its element orders. A finite group $G$ is said to be recognizable by spectrum if every finite group that has the same spectrum as $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. We prove that the simple alternating groups…
The adjacency operator of a graph has a spectrum and a class of scalar-valued spectral measures which have been systematically analyzed; it also has a spectral multiplicity function which has been less studied. The first purpose of this…
The {\em spectrum} of a first-order logic sentence is the set of natural numbers that are cardinalities of its finite models. In this paper we show that when restricted to using only two variables, but allowing counting quantifiers, the…
We compute explicitly (modulo solutions of certain algebraic equations) the spectra of infinite graphs obtained by attaching one or several infinite paths to some vertices of certain finite graphs. The main result concerns a canonical form…
In this short paper we will show, via elementary arguments, the equivalence of the Twin Prime Conjecture to a problem which might be simpler to prove. Some conclusions are drawn, and it is shown that proving the Twin Prime Conjecture is…
Two infinite sets $A$ and $B$ of non-negative integers are called \emph{perfect additive complements of non-negative integers}, if every non-negative integer can be uniquely expressed as the sum of elements from $A$ and $B$. In this paper,…
In this paper we study spectral sets which are unions of finitely many intervals in R. We show that any spectrum associated with such a spectral set is periodic, with the period an integral multiple of the measure of the set. As a…
There is a natural equivalence relation on representations of the states of a given quantum system in a Hilbert space, two representations being equivalent iff they are related by a unitary transformation. There are two equivalence classes,…
This article is about inverse spectral problems for hyperbolic surfaces and in particular how length spectra relate to the geometry of the underlying surface. A quantitative answer is given to the following: how many questions do you need…
A pair of scattering potentials are called $\alpha$-equivalent if they have identical scattering properties for incident plane waves with wavenumber $k\leq\alpha$ (energy $k^2\leq\alpha^2$.) We use a recently developed multidimensional…
Two graphs having the same spectrum are said to be cospectral. A pair of singularly cospectral graphs is formed by two graphs such that the absolute values of their nonzero eigenvalues coincide. Clearly, a pair of cospectral graphs is also…
Two Delone sets are bounded distance equivalent to each other if there is a bijection between them such that the distance of corresponding points is uniformly bounded. Bounded distance equivalence is an equivalence relation. We show that…
The method of spectral decimation is applied to an infinite collection of self--similar fractals. The sets considered belong to the class of nested fractals, and are thus very symmetric. An explicit construction is given to obtain formulas…
