On the pointwise convergence of the integral kernels in the Feynman-Trotter formula [PDF]
We study path integrals in the Trotter-type form for the Schr\"odinger equation, where the Hamiltonian is the Weyl quantization of a real-valued quadratic form perturbed by a potential $V$ in a class encompassing that - considered by Albeverio and It\^o ...

Alternative sets of hyperspherical harmonics: Satisfying cusp conditions through frame transformations [PDF]
By extending the concept of Euler-angle rotations to more than three dimensions, we develop the systematics under rotations in higher-dimensional space for a novel set of hyperspherical harmonics.

New Dimensions for Wound Strings: The Modular Transformation of Geometry to Topology [PDF]
We show, using a theorem of Milnor and Margulis, that string theory on compact negatively curved spaces grows new effective dimensions as the space shrinks, generalizing and contextualizing the results in hep-th/0510044. Milnor's theorem relates negative

Geometric renormalization of large energy wave maps [PDF]
There has been much progress in recent years in understanding the existence problem for wave maps with small critical Sobolev norm (in particular for two-dimensional wave maps with small energy); a key aspect in that theory has been a renormalization ...

Modified Landau levels, damped harmonic oscillator and two-dimensional pseudo-bosons [PDF]
In a series of recent papers one of us has analyzed in some details a class of elementary excitations called {\em pseudo-bosons}. They arise from a special deformation of the canonical commutation relation $[a,a^\dagger]=\1$, which is replaced by $[a,b]=\

Ghost-Free de Sitter Supergravities as Consistent Reductions of String and M-theory [PDF]
We study properties of supergravity theories with non-compact gaugings, and their higher-dimensional interpretations via consistent reductions on the inhomogeneous non-compact hyperboloidal spaces {\cal H}^{p,q}.

The effective action of Type IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds [PDF]
The N=1 effective action for generic type IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds in the presence of background fluxes is computed from a Kaluza-Klein reduction. The Kahler potential, the gauge kinetic functions and the flux-induced superpotential are determined in ...

A non-linear Oscillator with quasi-Harmonic behaviour: two- and $n$-dimensional Oscillators
A nonlinear two-dimensional system is studied by making use of both the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formalisms. The present model is obtained as a two-dimensional version of a one-dimensional oscillator previously studied at the classical and also at ...

Metric duality between positive definite kernels and boundary processes
We study representations of positive definite kernels $K$ in a general setting, but with view to applications to harmonic analysis, to metric geometry, and to realizations of certain stochastic processes.

Metrics Admitting Killing Spinors In Five Dimensions [PDF]
BPS black hole configurations which break half of supersymmetry in the theory of N=2, d=5 supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of abelian vector multiplets are discussed.
