Abstract:

Akhunzhanov and Shatskov defined the Dirichlet spectrum, corresponding to mxn matrices and to norms on R^m and R^n. In case (m,n) = (2,1) and using the Euclidean norm on R^2, they showed that the spectrum is an interval. We generalize this result to arbitrary (m,n) with max(m,n)>1 and arbitrary norms, improving previous works from recent years. We also define some related spectra and show that they too are intervals. We also prove the existence of matrices exhibiting special properties with respect to their uniform exponent. Our argument is a modification of an argument of Khintchine from 1926.

      Spectrum Degeneracies in models with O(N) symmetry from Quantum Evanescence | BIMSA General Lecture

      AbstractIn this talk, I will identify degeneracies in the energy spectra of quantum theories that occur at integer values of the continuous parameter N of an analytically continued global O(N) symmetry. I will first present a few examples in the critical O(N) CFT at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point (d=4-epsilon) at the first order of epsilon-expansion. Then I will argue the degeneracies happen for...

      Motivic Lefschetz Theorem for twisted Milnor Hypersurfaces

      Abstract:In this talk, I will discuss the motivic decomposition of a smooth hyperplane section in twisted Milnor Hypersurfaces. The key feature of our result is the appearance of a spectrum of a particular field in the decomposition. A critical ingredient is in the non-triviality of the (monodromy) Galois action on the equivariant Chow group. The steps of our proof can be likened to several th...
