We propose a recursive representation of solutions to an ultradiscrete analogue of the discrete KP hierarchy, which is the master equation of discrete soliton equations. We also propose a class of solutions which can be used to start the…

In (Nucci M.C. 1994, Physica D 78 p.124), we have found that iterations of the nonclassical symmetries method give rise to new nonlinear equations, which inherit the Lie point symmetry algebra of the given equation. In the present paper, we…

We examine in a generic context how the $\mu$ problem can be resolved by means of a spontaneously broken gauge symmetry. We then focus on the new scheme based on a discrete gauge R symmetry which is spontaneously broken by nonperturbative…

In this chapter, we discuss explicit black hole solutions in higher-order scalar-tensor theories. After a brief recap of no-hair theorems, we start our discussion by so-called stealth solutions present in theories with parity and shift…

We propose a higher dimensional scenario to solve the gauge hierarchy problem. In our formulation, a crucial observation is that a supersymmetric structure is hidden in the 4d spectrum of any gauge invariant theories with compact extra…

A new viewpoint for the gauge hierarchy problem is proposed: compactification at a large scale, 1/R, leads to a low energy effective theory with supersymmetry softly broken at a much lower scale, \alpha/R. The hierarchy is induced by an…

The exact solution of the asymmetric exclusion problem with N distinct classes of particles (c = 1,2,...,N), with hierarchical order is presented. In this model the particles (size 1) are located at lattice points, and diffuse with equal…

In this paper we present a new semidefinite programming hierarchy for covering problems in compact metric spaces. Over the last years, these kind of hierarchies were developed primarily for geometric packing and for energy minimization…

We present a simple model of dark matter that can address astrophysical and cosmological puzzles across a wide range of scales. The model is an application of the Secretly Asymmetric Dark Matter mechanism, where several flavors of dark…

Matrix Riccati equations and other nonlinear ordinary differential equations with superposition formulas are, in the case of constant coefficients, shown to have the same exact solutions as their group theoretical discretizations. Explicit…

Incorporating symmetries into the numerical solution of differential equations has been a mainstay of research over the last 40 years, however, one aspect is less known and under-utilised: discretisations of partial differential equations…

We comment on aspects of discrete anomaly conditions focussing particularly on $R$ symmetries. We review the Green-Schwarz cancellation of discrete anomalies, providing a heuristic explanation why, in the heterotic string, only the…

Lie group theory was originally created more than 100 years ago as a tool for solving ordinary and partial differential equations. In this article we review the results of a much more recent program: the use of Lie groups to study…

The discovery of the accelerating universe indicates strongly the presence of a scalar field which is not only expected to solve today's version of the cosmological constant problem, or the fine-tuning and the coincidence problems, but also…

We argue that adding gauge-singlet real scalars to the Standard Model can both ameliorate the little hierarchy problem and provide a realistic source of Dark Matter. Masses of the scalars should be in the 1-3 TeV range, while the lowest…

Various nonsupersymmetric theories at large but finite $N$ are argued to permit light scalars and large hierarchies without fine-tuning. In a dual string description, the hierarchy results from competition between classical and quantum…

We examine the reductions of the order of certain third- and second-order nonlinear equations with arbitrary nonlinearity through their symmetries and some appropriate transformations. We use the folding transformation which enables one to…

If nature exhibits low energy supersymmetry, discrete (non-$Z_2$) R symmetries may well play an important role. In this paper, we explore such symmetries. We generalize gaugino condensation, constructing large classes of models which are…

We show that the multi-boson KP hierarchies possess a class of discrete symmetries linking them to the discrete Toda systems. These discrete symmetries are generated by the similarity transformation of the corresponding Lax operator. This…

A negative symmetry is a nonlocal symmetry of special type. In this paper, we introduce a method for constructing negative symmetries from consistent triplets of differential and differential-difference equations. Moreover, we study the…
