It is well-known that perturbative quantum gravity is non-renormalizable. The metric or vierbein has generally been used as the variable to quantize in perturbative quantum gravity. In this essay, we show that one can use the spin…
I extend the framework of rigid analytic geometry to the setting of algebraic geometry relative to monoids, and study the associated notions of separated, proper, and overconvergent morphisms. The category of affine manifolds embeds as a…
According to Sullivan, a space ${\cal E}$ of unimodal maps with the same combinatorics (modulo smooth conjugacy) should be treated as an infinitely-dimensional Teichm\"{u}ller space. This is a basic idea in Sullivan's approach to the…
In close analogy to the Bloch-Feshbach formalism known from the theory of nuclear dynamics, I develop a mathematical framework that allows one to understand renormalization in terms of purely algebraic operations (projections, dilatations)…
Renormalization plays an important role in the theoretically and mathematically careful analysis of models in condensed-matter physics. I review selected results about correlated-fermion systems, ranging from mathematical theorems to…
In this article, we functorially associate definable sets to $k$-analytic curves, and definable maps to analytic morphisms between them, for a large class of $k$-analytic curves. Given a $k$-analytic curve $X$, our association allows us to…
We propose a conformal generalization of the reversible Vlasov equation of kinetic plasma dynamics, called conformal kinetic theory. In order to arrive at this formalism, we start with the conformal Hamiltonian dynamics of particles and…
A careful analysis of differential renormalization shows that a distinguished choice of renormalization constants allows for a mathematically more fundamental interpretation of the scheme. With this set of a priori fixed integration…
For an infinitely renormalizable quadratic map $f_c: z\mapsto z^2+c$ with the sequence of renormalization periods ${k_m}$ and rotation numbers ${t_m=p_m/q_m}, we prove that if $\limsup k_m^{-1}\log |p_m|>0$, then the Mandelbrot set is…
We consider the trace map associated with the Fibonacci Hamiltonian as a diffeomorphism on the invariant surface associated with a given coupling constant and prove that the non-wandering set of this map is hyperbolic if the coupling is…
In this paper we build a geometric model for the renormalisation of irrationally indifferent fixed points. The geometric model incorporates the fine arithmetic properties of the rotation number at the fixed point. Using this model for the…
We investigate the quantitative and analytic aspects of the near-parabolic renormalization scheme introduced by Inou and Shishikura in 2006. These provide techniques to study the dynamics of some holomorphic maps of the form $f(z) = e^{2\pi…
Let $(K,|\cdot|)$ be a complete discretely valued field and $f:{\mathbb B}_1(K,1) \to {\mathbb B}_1(K,1)$ a nonconstant analytic map from the unit back to itself. We assume that 0 is an attracting fixed point of $f$. Let $a \in K$ with…
Three dimensional analytic H\'enon-like map $$ F(x,y,z) = (f(x) - \epsilon(x,y,z),\, x,\, \delta(x,y,z)) $$ and its {\em period doubling} renormalization is defined. If $ F $ is infinitely renormalizable map, Jacobian determinant of $…
We consider a two dimensional extension of the so-called linearizable mappings. In particular, we start from the Heideman-Hogan recurrence, which is known as one of the linearizable Somos-like recurrences, and introduce one of its two…
A systematic approach to maximise estimates on the region of attraction in the exponential stabilisation of geometrically exact (nonlinear) beam models via boundary feedback is presented. Starting from recently established stability results…
It has been observed that the famous Feigenbaum-Coullet-Tresser period doubling universality has a counterpart for area-preserving maps of $\field{R}^2$. A renormalization approach has been used in a computer-assisted proof of existence of…
A result on $C^0$ linearization which is differentiable at the hyperbolic fixed point is known. In this paper, we further investigate a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism $F$ to find a local $C^0$ conjugacy, which is $C^1$ on the center…
An intriguing and unexpected result for students learning numerical analysis is that Newton's method, applied to the simple polynomial z^3 - 1 = 0 in the complex plane, leads to intricately interwoven basins of attraction of the roots. As…
We look at the limit distributions of sums of deterministic chaotic variables in unimodal maps and find a remarkable renormalization group (RG) structure associated to the operation of increment of summands and rescaling. In this structure…
