Study finds Stäckel equivalence for superintegrable systems via invariant quadrics.

Study reveals geometric context of second-order superintegrable systems.

We review the fundamentals of coupling constant metamorphosis (CCM) and the Stäckel transform, and apply them to map integrable and superintegrable systems of all orders into other such systems on different manifolds. In general, CCM does not preserve the order of constants of the motion or even take polynomials in the…

This paper combines two classical theories, namely metric projective differential geometry and superintegrability. We study superintegrable systems on 2-dimensional geometries that share the same geodesics, viewed as unparametrized curves. We give a definition of projective equivalence of such systems, which may be con…

We provide a new angle and obtain new results on a class of metrics on length-normalized curves in $d$ dimensions, represented by their unit tangents expressed as a function of arc-length, which are functions from the unit interval to the $(d-1)$-dimensional unit sphere. These metrics are derived from the combined acti…

We construct a cut-off version of nonpertubative closed Bosonic string field theory in the light-cone gauge with imaginary string coupling constant. We show that the partition function is a continuous function of the string coupling constant, and conjecture a relation between the formal power series expansion of this p…

Theoretical models of the strong nuclear interaction contain unknown coupling constants (parameters) that must be determined using a pool of calibration data. In cases where the models are complex, leading to time consuming calculations, it is particularly challenging to systematically search the corresponding paramete…

Formula for α-Futaki character on toric manifolds.

We study partition functions of random Bergman metrics, with the actions defined by a class of geometric functionals known as `stability functions'. We introduce a new stability invariant - the critical value of the coupling constant - defined as the minimal coupling constant for which the partition function converges.…

Existence and uniqueness of gravitating vortices on Riemann surfaces with specific properties.

This article studies the nonabelian localization results of Beasley and Witten, and considers the analogue of these results when the gauge group is U(1). It compares these results with results of Manoliu on abelian Chern-Simons theory, showing that the dependence on the coupling constant is the same.

We derive a local curvature estimate for four-dimensional stationary solutions to the inheriting Einstein-Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations. In particular, it implies that any such stationary geodesically complete solution with vanishing Poynting vector and proper coupling constants (like dark energy) is flat. We also gen…

We prove that at a finite singular time for the Harmonic Ricci Flow on a surface of positive genus both the energy density of the map component and the curvature of the domain manifold have to blow up simultaneously. As an immediate consequence, we obtain smooth long-time existence for the Harmonic Ricci Flow with larg…

We show that the two-component Hunter-Saxton system with negative coupling constant describes the geodesic flow on an infinite-dimensional pseudosphere. This approach yields explicit solution formulae for the Hunter-Saxton system. Using this geometric intuition, we conclude by constructing global weak solutions. The ma…

We show that representations of the loop braid group arise from Aharonov-Bohm like effects in finite 2-group (3+1)-dimensional topological higher gauge theory. For this we introduce a minimal categorification of biracks, which we call W-bikoids (welded bikoids). Our main example of W-bikoids arises from finite 2-groups…

Tseytlin has recently proposed that an action functional exists whose gradient generates to all orders in perturbation theory the Renormalization Group (RG) flow of the target space metric in the worldsheet sigma model. The gradient is defined with respect to a metric on the space of coupling constants which is explici…

Study on Kähler metrics on ruled surfaces, proving existence and non-existence.

Let $(\mathcal{M},g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold. The $\textit{ second order approximation}$ to the perturbative renormalization group flow for the nonlinear sigma model (RG-2 flow) is given by : \[ \frac{\partial }{\partial t} \, g(t) \, =\, -2 \mathrm{Ric}(t) \, -\, \fracα{2} \mathrm{Rm}^2(t), \] where $ g = \ma…

A theory of gravitation is proposed, modeled after the notion of a Ricci flow. In addition to the metric an independent volume enters as a fundamental geometric structure. Einstein gravity is included as a limiting case. Despite being a scalar-tensor theory the coupling to matter is different from Jordan-Brans-Dicke gr…

We provide a moment map interpretation for the coupled Kähler-Einstein equations introduced by Hultgren and Witt Nyström, and in the process introduce a more general system of equations, which we call coupled cscK equations. A differentio-geometric formulation of the corresponding Futaki invariant is obtained and a not…

The BC(n) Sutherland Hamiltonian with coupling constants parametrized by three arbitrary integers is derived by reductions of the Laplace operator of the group U(N). The reductions are obtained by applying the Laplace operator on spaces of certain vector valued functions equivariant under suitable symmetric subgroups o…

New solutions found to Ginzburg-Landau equations on surfaces.

The paper explores transformations between power law problems and geodesics on cones.

In this paper, we describe in detail a model of geometric-functional variability between fshapes. These objects were introduced for the first time by the authors in [Charlier et al. 2015] and are basically the combination of classical deformable manifolds with additional scalar signal map. Building on the aforementione…

New Skyrme model for contact geometry with topological solutions.

New method for pricing SOFR futures options, solving both American and Asian exercise styles.

In this paper, we study a refined L2 version of the semiclassical approximation of projectively invariant elliptic operators with invariant Morse type potentials on covering spaces of compact manifolds. We work on the level of spectral projections (and not just their traces) and obtain an information about classes of t…

The paper is devoted to the study of BRST charge in perturbed two dimensional conformal field theory. The main goal is to write the operator equation expressing the conservation law of BRST charge in perturbed theory in terms of purely algebraic operations on the corresponding operator algebra, which are defined via th…

We give a complete solution to the existence problem for gravitating vortices with non-negative topological constant $c \geqslant 0$. Our first main result builds on previous results by Yang and establishes the existence of solutions to the Einstein-Bogomol'nyi equations, corresponding to $c=0$, in all admissible Kähle…

Geometric derivation of Einstein equations from causal fermion systems.

Research proves the semi-classical limit of Liouville conformal field theory, describing deterministic geometry from random fluctuations.

Reduces symplectic Hamiltonian systems to contact systems, realizing Poincaré's dream.

We discuss certain recent mathematical advances, mainly due to Perelman, in the theory of Ricci flows and their relevance for renormalization group (RG) flows. We consider nonlinear sigma models with closed target manifolds supporting a Riemannian metric, dilaton, and 2-form B-field. By generalizing recent mathematical…

Graph neural networks predict solid-state NMR parameters from atomic structures.

We investigate a new geometric flow which consists of a coupled system of the Ricci flow on a closed manifold M with the harmonic map flow of a map phi from M to some closed target manifold N with a (possibly time-dependent) positive coupling constant alpha. This system can be interpreted as the gradient flow of an ene…

Bayesian updating is modeled as a dynamical system, revealing learning rate laws.

Study of Hitchin moduli spaces over Teichmüller space.

In this paper we study the Teichmüller harmonic map flow as introduced by Rupflin and Topping [15]. It evolves pairs of maps and metrics $(u,g)$ into branched minimal immersions, or equivalently into weakly conformal harmonic maps, where $u$ maps from a fixed closed surface $M$ with metric $g$ to a general target manif…

Financial networks are dynamic. To assess their systemic importance to the world-wide economic network and avert losses we need models that take the time variations of the links and nodes into account. Using the methodology of classical mechanics and Laplacian determinism we develop a model that can predict the respons…

The model integrates Standard Model bosons into a higher-dimensional spacetime.

Study topological correlators for $SU(2)$ SYM on four-manifolds, deriving explicit formulae and confirming S-duality.

In this paper (Part I) and its sequels (Part II and Part III), we analyze the structure of the space of solutions to the epsilon-Dirichlet problem for the Yang-Mills equations on the 4-dimensional disk, for small values of the coupling constant epsilon. These are in one-to-one correspondence with solutions to the Diric…

Making use of its smooth structure only, out of a connected oriented smooth $4$-manifold a von Neumann algebra is constructed. It is geometric in the sense that is generated by local operators and as a special four dimensional phenomenon it contains all algebraic (i.e., formal or coming from a metric) curvature tensors…

The paper studies how adding a 'Gauge Mass' term breaks gauge symmetry in Yang-Mills-Higgs systems and analyzes the resulting behavior.
