Edge-reinforced random walk, vertex-reinforced jump process and the supersymmetric hyperbolic sigma model

Christophe Sabot, Pierre Tarrès (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Edge-reinforced random walk (ERRW), introduced by Coppersmith and Diaconis in 1986 [8], is a random process which takes values in the vertex set of a graph G and is more likely to cross edges it has visited before. We show that it can be represented in terms of a vertex-reinforced jump process (VRJP) with independent gamma conductances; the VRJP was conceived by Werner and first studied by Davis and Volkov [10, 11], and is a continuous-time process favouring sites with more local time. We calculate,...

Global Waves with Non-Positive Energy in General Relativity

Bachelot, Alain (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35Lxx, 35Pxx, 81Uxx, 83Cxx.The theory of the waves equations has a long history since M. Riesz and J. Hadamard. It is impossible to cite all the important results in the area, but we mention the authors related with our work: J. Leray [34] and Y. Choquet-Bruhat [9] (Cauchy problem), P. Lax and R. Phillips [33] (scattering theory for a compactly supported perturbation), L. H¨ ormander [27] and J-M. Bony [7] (microlocal analysis). In all these domains, V. Petkov has...

Quantum-graph vertex couplings: some old and new approximations

Stepan Manko (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

In 1986 P. Šeba in the classic paper considered one-dimensional pseudo-Hamiltonians containing the first derivative of the Dirac delta function. Although the paper contained some inaccuracy, it was one of the starting points in approximating one-dimension self-adjoint couplings. In the present paper we develop the above results to the case of quantum systems with complex geometry.

Shape optimization problems for metric graphs

Γ):Γ ∈ 𝒜, ℋ1(Γ) = l}, where ℋ1D1,...,Dk }  ⊂ Rd . The cost functional ℰ(Γ) is the Dirichlet energy of Γ defined through the Sobolev functions on Γ vanishing on the points Di. We analyze the existence of a solution in both the families of connected sets and of metric graphs. At the end, several explicit examples are discussed.

Structure fractals and para-quaternionic geometry

Julian Ławrynowicz, Massimo Vaccaro (2011)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

It is well known that starting with real structure, the Cayley-Dickson process gives complex, quaternionic, and octonionic (Cayley) structures related to the Adolf Hurwitz composition formula for dimensions p = 2, 4 and 8, respectively, but the procedure fails for p = 16 in the sense that the composition formula involves no more a triple of quadratic forms of the same dimension; the other two dimensions are n = 27. Instead, Ławrynowicz and Suzuki (2001) have considered graded fractal bundles of...
