The relation between the Seiberg-Witten prepotentials, Nekrasov functions and matrix models is discussed. We derive quasiclassically the matrix models of Eguchi-Yang type, describing the instantonic contribution to the deformed partition…

We study the quantum structure of four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ superfield sigma-model formulated in harmonic superspace in terms of the omega-hypermultiplet superfield $\omega$. The model is described by harmonic superfield sigma-model…

These notes give an introduction to the Strominger system of partial differential equations, and are based on lectures given in September 2015 at the GEOQUANT School, held at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT) in Madrid. We…

The classical integrability the O(N) nonlinear sigma model on a half-line is examined, and the existence of an infinity of conserved charges in involution is established for the free boundary condition. For the case N=3 other possible…

In this expository note, I present some of the key features of the lattice of torsion classes of a finite-dimensional algebra, focussing in particular on its complete semidistributivity and consequences thereof. This is intended to serve as…

We propose a mathematically concrete way of modelling the suggestion that in quantum gravity the spacetime disappears, replacing it with a discrete approximation to the causal path space described as an object in a model category. One of…

A new class of solutions of Einstein field equations has been investigated for inhomogeneous cylindrically symmetric space-time with string source. To get the deterministic solution, it has been assumed that the expansion ($\theta$) in the…

We address some conjectures and open problems in "analysis of symmetries" which include the study of non-commutative harmonic analysis and discontinuous groups for reductive homogeneous spaces beyond the classical framework: (1) discrete…

We consider Lorentzian manifolds as examples of partially ordered measure spaces, sets endowed with compatible partial order relations and measures, in this case given by the causal structure and the volume element defined by each…

This is a non-standard paper, containing some problems, mainly in model theory, which I have, in various degrees, been interested in. Sometimes with a discussion on what I have to say; sometimes, of what makes them interesting to me,…

We consider the problem of constraining a particle to a submanifold Sigma of configuration space using a sequence of increasing potentials. We compare the classical and quantum versions of this procedure. This leads to new results in both…

We compute the elliptic genera of two-dimensional N=(2,2) and N=(0,2) gauged linear sigma models via supersymmetric localization, for rank-one gauge groups. The elliptic genus is expressed as a sum over residues of a meromorphic function…

These lecture notes cover four topics. There is a proof of the fact that the functors represented by the motivic Eilenberg-Maclane spaces on the motivic homotopy category coincide with the motivic cohomology defined in terms of the motivic…

Starting from the equations of motion of the fields involved in a theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking and by making simple assumptions regarding their behavior we derive simple tree level relations between the mass of the Higgs boson…

Let $G$ denote a countable inverse semigroup. We construct a kind of a Baum--Connes map $K(\tilde A \rtimes G) \rightarrow K(A \rtimes G)$ by a categorial approach via localization of triangulated categories, developed by R. Meyer and R.…

We develop a perturbation theory for the lifetime and emission intensity for isolated resonances in asymmetric resonant cavities. The inverse lifetime $\Gamma$ and the emission intensity $I(\theta)$ in the open system are expressed in terms…

We study the efficiency of genus statistics in differentiating between different models of structure formation. Simple models which reproduce the salient features of the structure seeded by topological defects are examined. We consider…

In this note we expose some surprising connections between string theory and statistical inference. We consider a large collective of agents sweeping out a family of nearby statistical models for an M-dimensional manifold of statistical…

We study the minimal gap statistic for fractional parts of sequences of the form $\mathcal A^\alpha = \{\alpha a(n)\}$ where $\mathcal A = \{a(n)\}$ is a sequence of distinct of integers. Assuming that the additive energy of the sequence is…

We introduce a new definition for the species of type B, or H-species, analog to the classical species (of type A), but on which we consider the action of the groups Bn of signed permutations. We are interested in algebraic structure on…
