Motivated by the prediction of fractonic topological defects in a quantum crystal, we utilize a reformulated elasticity duality to derive a description of a fracton phase in terms of coupled vector U(1) gauge theories. The fracton order and…
We study structures which have arisen in recent work by the present author and Bob Coecke on a categorical axiomatics for Quantum Mechanics; in particular, the notion of strongly compact closed category. We explain how these structures…
We propose a new approach to vague convergence of measures based on the general theory of boundedness due to Hu (1966). The article explains how this connects and unifies several frequently used types of vague convergence from the…
This is a survey article describing the relationship between quantum curves and topological recursion. A quantum curve is a Schr\"odinger operator-like noncommutative analogue of a plane curve which encodes (quantum) enumerative invariants…
We study the size properties of a general model of fractal sets that are based on a tree-indexed family of random compacts and a tree-indexed Markov chain. These fractals may be regarded as a generalization of those resulting from the…
Fractonic matter with dipole symmetry can be coupled to a two-index symmetric tensor gauge field. In this work, we show that this symmetric tensor field, along with other related generalized Maxwell theories, can be consistently coupled to…
As true as it is that a bricklayer needs a plumb line and a T-square, so it is that a physicist using general relativity needs how to draw geodesics and use fields of congruent vector frames of reference. While the first part of the…
A connection between fractional supersymmetric quantum mechanics and ordinary supersymmetric quantum mechanics is established in this Letter.
In this paper, we study the abelian complexity $\rho_n^{ab}(\mathbf{t}^{(k)})$ of generalized Thue-Morse sequences $\mathbf{t}^{(k)}$. We obtain the exact value of $\rho_n^{ab}(\mathbf{t}^{(k)})$ for every integer $n\geq k$. Consequently,…
This paper focuses on the theory of the Hecke rings associated with the general linear groups originally studied by Hecke and Shimura et al., and moreover generalizes its notions to Hecke rings associated with the automorphism groups of…
The aim of this note is to show the existence of a correspondance between certain algebraic continued fractions in fields of power series over a finite field and automatic sequences in the same finite field. this connection is illustrated…
We investigate the relation between the symmetries of a Schr\"odinger operator and the related topological quantum numbers. We show that, under suitable assumptions on the symmetry algebra, a generalization of the Bloch-Floquet transform…
We present two families of automatic sequences that define algebraic continued fractions in characteristic $2$. The period-doubling sequence belongs to the first first family $\mathcal{P}$; and its sum, the Thue-Morse sequence, belongs to…
Many observables in quantum field theory can be expressed in terms of trans-series, in which one adds to the perturbative series a typically infinite sum of exponentially small corrections, due to instantons or to renormalons. Even after…
We extend the notion of 'homomorphism-homogeneity' to a wider class of kinds of maps than previously studied, and we investigate the relations between the resulting notions of homomorphism-homogeneity, giving several examples. We also give…
In the last few years, new insights have permitted unexpected progress in the study of fractal shapes in two dimensions. A new approach, called Schramm-Loewner evolution, or SLE, has arisen through analytic function theory and probability…
We present an approach to Morse theory on symmetric products of surfaces using the notion of folded ribbon trees. We introduce an $A_\infty$-category with objects defined as $\kappa$-tuples of Morse functions, where the differential of the…
Our main goal in this long survey article is to provide an overview of the theory of complex fractal dimensions and of the associated geometric or fractal zeta functions, first in the case of fractal strings (one-dimensional drums with…
Driving a quantum system periodically in time can profoundly alter its long-time correlations and give rise to exotic quantum states of matter. The complexity of the combination of many-body correlations and dynamic manipulations has the…
If our aesthetic preferences are affected by fractal geometry of nature, scaling regularities would be expected to appear in all art forms, including music. While a variety of statistical tools have been proposed to analyze time series in…
