The prospect of an ultra-light dark matter particle (also known as Fuzzy Dark Matter, or FDM) has recently drawn attention as a promising alternative to standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM). When the mass of the particle reaches below 10^-21 eV, quantum...

Edge excitations of (2+1)D topological phases are usually described using continuum field theories. But the boundaries of some (2+1)D topological phases can also be described using lattice-like edge theories that have a finite dimensional Hilbert...

Despite the fact that the 3-body problem is an ancient conundrum that goes back to Newton, it is remarkably poorly understood, and is still a benchmark for modern developments. In this talk, I will give a (very) biased account of this classical...

A locally testable code (LTC) is an error correcting code that admits a very efficient membership test. The tester reads a constant number of (randomly - but not necessarily uniformly - chosen) bits from a given word and rejects words with...

 q-deformed Virasoro and W-algebras were defined a quarter century ago with the aim of furthering our understanding of two-dimensional integrable and conformal field theories, while also developing the representation theory of so-called quantum...

In various areas of mathematics there exist "big fiber theorems", these are theorems of the following type: "For any map in a certain class, there exists a 'big' fiber", where the class of maps and the notion of size changes from case to case.

W...

Understanding of the role magnetic field in astrophysical environments is essential for many brunches of astrophysical research. The knowledge of magnetic field and polarized radiation that this field induces is important for the ongoing search for...

After surveying some important consequences of the property of bounded generation (BG) dealing with SS-rigidity, the congruence subgroup problem, etc., we will focus on examples of boundedly generated groups. We will prove that every unimodular (n×n...
