Null energy constraints on two-dimensional RG flows
We study applications of spectral positivity and the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) to renormalization group (RG) flows in two-dimensional quantum field theory. We find a succinct new proof of the Zamolodchikov c-theorem, and derive further independ ...
New York2024Anomalous dissipation and other non-smooth phenomena in fluids
The thesis is dedicated to the study of two main partial differential equations (PDEs) in fluid dynamics: the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of incompressible fluids, and the transport equation with divergence-free velocity fields, whic ...
EPFL2024BPS invariants from p-adic integrals
Dimitri Stelio Wyss, Francesca Carocci, Giulio Orecchia
We define p-adic BPS or pBPS invariants for moduli spaces M-beta,M-chi of one-dimensional sheaves on del Pezzo and K3 surfaces by means of integration over a non-archimedean local field F. Our definition relies on a canonical measure mu can on the F-analyt ...
Cambridge Univ Press2024On Speed and Advantage : Results in Information Velocity and Monitoring Problems
Information theory has allowed us to determine the fundamental limit of various communication and algorithmic problems, e.g., the channel coding problem, the compression problem, and the hypothesis testing problem. In this work, we revisit the assumptions ...
EPFL2024ALMOST EVERYWHERE NONUNIQUENESS OF INTEGRAL CURVES FOR DIVERGENCE-FREE SOBOLEV VECTOR FIELDS
We construct divergence-free Sobolev vector fields in C([0,1];W-1,W-r(T-d;Rd)) with r < d and d\geq 2 which simultaneously admit any finite number of distinct positive solutions to the continuity equation. These vector fields are then shown to have at leas ...
Philadelphia2023On the Use of the Generalized Littlewood Theorem Concerning Integrals of the Logarithm of Analytical Functions for the Calculation of Infinite Sums and the Analysis of Zeroes of Analytical Functions
Recently, we have established and used the generalized Littlewood theorem concerning contour integrals of the logarithm of an analytical function to obtain a few new criteria equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. Here, the same theorem is applied to calcul ...
MDPI2023Diversity of radial spin textures in chiral materials
Oleg Yazyev, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez, Alberto Crepaldi
We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at the high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by nonpolar chiral point groups (D2, D3, D4, D6, T, O). Based on the symmetry constraints imposed by these point g ...
College Pk2023IMPROVED REGULARITY OF SECOND DERIVATIVES FOR SUBHARMONIC FUNCTIONS
Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona, Riccardo Tione
In this note, we prove that if a subharmonic function Delta u >= 0 has pure second derivatives partial derivative(ii)u that are signed measures, then their negative part (partial derivative(ii)u)- belongs to L-1 (in particular, it is not singular). We then ...
Providence2023Resistances to change in urban travel behaviors
Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss
The social discourse surrounding the climate emergency progressively infuses the society, transforming into both micro- and macro-social injunctions to change. Yet, society - grounded in a territorial, social, and cultural contingency - appears to resist t ...
EPFL2023A Fast Hybrid Pressure-Correction Algorithm for Simulating Incompressible Flows by Projection Methods
To enforce the conservation of mass principle, a pressure Poisson equation arises in the numerical solution of incompressible fluid flow using the pressure-based segregated algorithms such as projection methods. For unsteady flows, the pressure Poisson equ ...
