A Brownian loop is a random walk circuit of infinitely many, suitably infinitesimal, steps. In a plane such a loop may or may not enclose a marked point, the origin, say. If it does so it may wind arbitrarily many times, positive or…
We present the path integral formulation of a broad class of generalized diffusion processes. Employing the path integral we derive exact expressions for the path probability densities and joint probability distributions for the class of…
We study the relationship between the spectral shift function and the excess charge in potential scattering theory. Although these quantities are closely related to each other, they have been often formulated in different settings so far.…
If $A \colon D(A) \subset \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ is an unbounded Fredholm operator of index $0$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with a dense domain $D(A)$, then its spectrum is either discrete or the entire complex plane. This…
We study the spectrum of a periodic non-self-adjoint Dirac operator, and its dependence on a semiclassical parameter is also considered. Several bounds on the spectrum are obtained which provide sharp spectral enclosure estimates.…
We investigate numerically the spectral flow introduced by Adams for the staggered Dirac operator on realistic gauge configurations. We study both the unimproved and the HISQ Dirac operators. We compare the spectral flow index with the…
The scattering amplitudes for colored scalars can be calculated using the so-called curve integral formula, relying on simple combinatorics. It introduces a set of global Schwinger parameters for all Feynman diagrams that contribute to an…
We describe a very general (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces, called polyfolds. The basic feature of these new spaces is that in general they may have locally varying dimensions. These new spaces are needed for a…
We study the spectrum of one dimensional integral operators in bounded real intervals of length $2L$, for value of $L$ large. The integral operators are obtained by linearizing a non local evolution equation for a non conserved order…
We consider special elliptic operators in functional spaces on manifolds with a boundary which has some singular points. Such an operator can be represented by a sum of operators, and for a Fredholm property of an initial operator one needs…
We analyze the action of the spectral flows on N=2 twisted topological theories. We show that they provide a useful mapping between the two twisted topological theories associated to a given N=2 superconformal theory. This mapping can also…
The integral method can be used to model accurately flows down an inclined plane. Such a method consists in projecting the full 3D equations on a lower dimensional representation. The vertical velocity profiles have their functional form…
In this article we study generalised Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators in arbitrary signatures (with or without gradings), providing a general KK-theoretic framework for the study of index pairings and spectral flow. We provide a general…
An approach to infinite dimensional integration which unifies the case of oscillatory integrals and the case of probabilistic type integrals is presented. It provides a truly infinite dimensional construction of integrals as linear…
We study the spectral problems for the spatially periodic flows of inviscid incompressible fluid. The basic flows under consideration are the shear flows whose profiles oscillate on high frequencies. For such flows, we present asymptotic…
We consider selfadjoint operators obtained by pasting a finite number of boundary relations with one-dimensional boundary space. A typical example of such an operator is the Schr\"odinger operator on a star-graph with a finite number of…
We present a method to control the position as a function of time of one-dimensional traveling wave solutions to reaction-diffusion systems according to a pre-specified protocol of motion. Given this protocol, the control function is found…
The recently introduced concept of a spectral shift operator is applied in several instances. Explicit applications include Krein's trace formula for pairs of self-adjoint operators, the Birman-Solomyak spectral averaging formula and its…
We establish a general link between integrable systems in algebraic geometry (expressed as Jacobian flows on spectral curves) and soliton equations (expressed as evolution equations on flat connections). Our main result is a natural…
Under general assumptions on the velocity field, it is possible to construct a flow that is forward untangled. Once such a flow has been selected, the associated transport problem is well-posed.
