The volume operator plays a central role in both the kinematics and dynamics of canonical approaches to quantum gravity which are based on algebras of generalized Wilson loops. We introduce a method for simplifying its spectral analysis,…

We use the notion of the principal three-dimensional subgroup of a simple Lie group to identify certain special subspaces of the Lie algebra and address the question of whether these are calibrated for invariant forms on the group.

Without the use of cameras to record 2D motion and an appropriate analysis tool, creating a laboratory activity for students to experience the vector nature of momentum can be challenging. Even with appropriate measurement tools, it is…

The main goal of this paper is to present a series of inequalities connecting the surface area measure of a convex body and surface area measure of its projections and sections. We present a solution of a question from S. Campi, P.…

Using combinatorial methods, we derive several formulas for the volume of convex bodies obtained by intersecting a unit hypercube with a halfspace, or with a hyperplane of codimension 1, or with a flat defined by two parallel hyperplanes.…

We construct sense-preserving univalent harmonic mappings which map the unit disk onto a domain which is convex in the horizontal direction, but with varying dilatation. Also, we obtain minimal surfaces associated with such harmonic…

Vector fields can arise in the cosmological context in different ways, and we discuss both abelian and nonabelian sector. In the abelian sector vector fields of the geometrical origin (from dimensional reduction and Einstein-Eddington…

We discuss a systematic way to dimensionally regularize divergent sums arising in field theories with an arbitrary number of physical compact dimensions or finite temperature. The method preserves the same symmetries of the action as the…

We present a substantial generalisation of a classical result by Lie on integrability by quadratures. Namely, we prove that all vector fields in a finite-dimensional transitive and solvable Lie algebra of vector fields on a manifold can be…

We study Fermi fields defined on tori in the presence of gauge backgrounds carrying non-trivial topology. We show that 2k dimensional field space can alternatively be described by fields over a k-dimensional space. This dual description is…

The vector space of all polynomial functions of degree $k$ on a box of dimension $n$ is of dimension ${n \choose k}$. A consequence of this fact is that a function can be approximated on vertices of the box using other vertices to higher…

In the search for exact solutions to Einstein's field equations the main simplification tool is the introduction of spacetime symmetries. Motivated by this fact we develop a method to write the field equations for general matter in a form…

We establish lower semi-continuity and strict convexity of the energy functionals for a large class of vector equilibrium problems in logarithmic potential theory. This in particular implies the existence and uniqueness of a minimizer for…

$N$-point functions of holomorphic fields in conformal field theories can be calculated by methods from algebraic geometry. We establish explicit formulas for the 2-point function of the Virasoro field on hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces of…

The division between two vectors belonging to the same vector space is obtained by elementary procedures of vector algebra and is defined by a matrix. This representation is obtained for two and three dimensional vector spaces. A new vector…

We establish a few formulas that compute the volume of the zero-set (or nodal set) of a function on a compact Riemannian manifold as integrals of functionals of the function and its derivatives.

We prove various results on the size and structure of subsets of vector spaces over finite fields which, in some sense, have too many mutually orthogonal pairs of vectors. In particular, we obtain sharp finite field variants of a theorem of…

We prove a sufficient condition for the existence of explicit first integrals for vector fields which admit an integrating factor. This theorem recovers and extends previous results in the literature on the integrability of vector fields…

This paper investigates the well posedness of ordinary differential equations and more precisely the existence (or uniqueness) of a flow through explicit compactness estimates. Instead of assuming a bounded divergence condition on the…

We construct field theories in $2+1$ dimensions with multiple conformal symmetries acting on only one of the spatial directions. These can be considered a conformal extension to "subsystem scale invariances", borrowing the language often…
