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.

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}.

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 ...

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

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.

A short proof of commutator estimates [PDF]
The goal of this note is to give, at least for a restricted range of indices, a short proof of homogeneous commutator estimates for fractional derivatives of a product, using classical tools.

Testing extra dimensions with boundaries using Newton's law modifications
Extra dimensions with boundaries are often used in the literature, to provide phenomenological models that mimic the standard model. In this context, we explore possible modifications to Newton's law due to the existence of an extra-dimensional space, at
