In this complementary note to [1] (arXiv:1501.05641), we provide an alternative proof for the factorial decay estimate of iterated integrals for geometric rough paths without using the neoclassical inequality. This note intends to aid the…

We proved the so called complex bounds for multimodal, infinitely renormalizable analytic maps with bounded combinatorics: deep renormalizations have polynomial-like extensions with definite modulus. The complex bounds is the first step to…

In this work we develop the path integral optimization in a class of inhomogeneous 2d CFTs constructed by putting an ordinary CFT on a space with a position dependent metric. After setting up and solving the general optimization problem, we…
