Two-term asymptotic formulæ for the probability distribution functions for the smallest eigenvalue of the Jacobi β-Ensembles are derived for matrices of large size in the régime where β > 0 is arbitrary and one of the model parameters α1 is an integer. By a straightforward transformation this leads to corresponding results for the distribution of the largest eigenvalue. The explicit expressions are given in terms of multi-variable hypergeometric functions, and it is found that the first-order corrections are proportional to the derivative of the leading order limiting distribution function. In some special cases β = 2 and/or small values of α1, explicit formulæ involving more familiar functions, such as the modified Bessel function of the first kind, are presented.

We analyze the band spectrum of the periodic quantum graph in the form of a chain of rings connected by line segments with the vertex coupling which violates the time reversal invariance, interpolating between the δ coupling and the one determined by a simple circulant matrix. We find that flat bands are generically absent and that the negative spectrum is nonempty even for interpolation with a non-attractive δ coupling; we also determine the high-energy asymptotic behavior of the bands.

Spacetime geometry is described by two–a priori independent–geometric structures: the symmetric connection Γ and the metric tensor g. Metricity condition of Γ (i.e. ∇g = 0) is implied by the Palatini variational principle, but only when the matter fields belong to an exceptional class. In case of a generic matter field, Palatini implies non-metricity of Γ. Traditionally, instead of the (first order) Palatini principle, we use in this case the (second order) Hilbert principle, assuming metricity condition a priori. Unfortunately, the resulting right-hand side of the Einstein equations does not coincide with the matter energy-momentum tensor. We propose to treat seriously the Palatini-implied non-metric connection. The conventional Einstein’s theory, rewritten in terms of this object, acquires a much simpler and universal structure. This approach opens a room for the description of the large scale effects in General Relativity (dark matter?, dark energy?), without resorting to purely phenomenological terms in the Lagrangian of gravitational field. All theories discussed in this paper belong to the standard General Relativity Theory, the only non-standard element being their (much simpler) mathematical formulation. As a mathematical bonus, we propose a new formalism in the calculus of variations, because in case of hyperbolic field theories the standard approach leads to nonsense conclusions.

The Weil–Petersson volumes of moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundaries are known to be given by polynomials in the boundary lengths. These polynomials satisfy Mirzakhani’s recursion formula, which fits into the general framework of topological recursion. We generalize the recursion to hyperbolic surfaces with any number of special geodesic boundaries that are required to be tight. A special boundary is tight if it has minimal length among all curves that separate it from the other special boundaries. The Weil–Petersson volume of this restricted family of hyperbolic surfaces is shown again to be polynomial in the boundary lengths. This remains true when we allow conical defects in the surface with cone angles in (0, π) in addition to geodesic boundaries. Moreover, the generating function of Weil–Petersson volumes with fixed genus and a fixed number of special boundaries is polynomial as well, and satisfies a topological recursion that generalizes Mirzakhani’s formula. This work is largely inspired by recent works by Bouttier, Guitter, and Miermont [Ann. Henri Lebesgue 5, 1035–1110 (2022)] on the enumeration of planar maps with tight boundaries. Our proof relies on the equivalence of Mirzakhani’s recursion formula to a sequence of partial differential equations (known as the Virasoro constraints) on the generating function of intersection numbers. Finally, we discuss a connection with Jackiw–Teitelboim (JT) gravity. We show that the multi-boundary correlators of JT gravity with defects are expressible in the tight Weil–Petersson volume generating functions, using a tight generalization of the JT trumpet partition function.
众所周知，具有大地边界的双曲面的模空间的魏尔-彼得森体积是由边界长度的多项式给出的。这些多项式满足米尔扎哈尼递推公式，符合拓扑递推的一般框架。我们将递推公式推广到具有任意数量的特殊测地线边界的双曲面，这些边界必须是紧密的。如果一个特殊边界在所有将其与其他特殊边界分开的曲线中长度最小，那么这个边界就是紧密的。这个受限双曲面族的魏尔-彼得森体积再次被证明是边界长度的多项式。除了测地线边界之外，当我们允许曲面上存在锥角在 (0, π) 范围内的锥形缺陷时，情况依然如此。此外，具有固定种属和固定数量特殊边界的 Weil-Petersson 体积的生成函数也是多项式的，并且满足拓扑递归，概括了 Mirzakhani 公式。这项工作的灵感主要来自布蒂埃、吉特和米尔蒙最近关于枚举具有紧边界的平面映射的工作[Ann. Henri Lebesgue 5, 1035-1110 (2022)]。我们的证明依赖于米尔扎哈尼递推公式与交点数生成函数上的偏微分方程序列（称为维拉索罗约束）的等价性。最后，我们讨论了与 Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) 引力的联系。我们利用 JT 小号分区函数的严密广义化，证明有缺陷的 JT 引力的多边界相关因子可以用严密的魏尔-彼得森体生成函数来表达。

The Grothedieck bound formalism is studied using “rescaling transformations,” in the context of a single quantum system. The rescaling transformations enlarge the set of unitary transformations (which apply to isolated systems), with transformations that change not only the phase but also the absolute value of the wavefunction, and can be linked to irreversible phenomena (e.g., quantum tunneling, damping and amplification, etc). A special case of rescaling transformations are the dequantisation transformations, which map a Hilbert space formalism into a formalism of scalars. The Grothendieck formalism considers a “classical” quadratic form C(θ) which takes values less than 1, and the corresponding “quantum” quadratic form Q(θ) which takes values greater than 1, up to the complex Grothendieck constant kG. It is shown that Q(θ) can be expressed as the trace of the product of θ with two rescaling matrices, and C(θ) can be expressed as the trace of the product of θ with two dequantisation matrices. Values of Q(θ) in the “ultra-quantum” region (1, kG) are very important, because this region is classically forbidden [C(θ) cannot take values in it]. An example with Q(θ)∈(1,kG) is given, which is related to phenomena where classically isolated by high potentials regions of space, communicate through quantum tunneling. Other examples show that “ultra-quantumness” according to the Grothendieck formalism (Q(θ)∈(1,kG)), is different from quantumness according to other criteria (like quantum interference or the uncertainty principle).

This paper investigates integrable decompositions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional multi-component Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur (AKNS in brief) hierarchy. By utilizing recursive relations and symmetric reductions, it is demonstrated that the (n2 − n1 + 1)-flow of the (2 + 1)-dimensional coupled multi-component AKNS hierarchy can be decomposed into the corresponding n1-flow and n2-flow of the coupled multi-component AKNS hierarchy. Specifically, except for two specific scenarios, the (n2 − n1 + 1)-flow of the (2 + 1)-dimensional reduced multi-component AKNS hierarchy can similarly be decomposed into the corresponding n1-flow and n2-flow of the reduced multi-component AKNS hierarchy. Through the application of these integrable decompositions and Darboux transformation techniques, multiple solitons for the standard focusing multi-component “breaking soliton” equations, as well as singular, exponential, and rational solitons for the nonlocal defocusing multi-component “breaking soliton” equations, are systematically presented. Furthermore, the elastic interactions and dynamical behaviors among these soliton solutions are thoroughly investigated without loss of generality.

This article extends the exploration of solutions to the issue of flame propagation driven by pressure and temperature in porous media that we introduced in earlier papers. We continue to consider a p-Laplacian type operator as a mathematical formalism to model slow and fast diffusion effects, that can be given in the non-homogeneous propagation of flames. In addition, we introduce a forced convection to model any possible induced flow in the porous media. We depart from previously known models to further substantiate our driving equations. From a mathematical standpoint, our goal is to deepen in the understanding of the general behavior of solutions via analyzing their regularity, boundedness, and uniqueness. We explore stationary solutions through a Hamiltonian approach and employ a regular perturbation method. Subsequently, nonstationary solutions are derived using a singular exponential scaling and, once more, a regular perturbation approach.

This paper studies the nonlinear evolution of magnetic field turbulence in proximity of steady ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) configurations characterized by a small electric current, a small plasma flow, and approximate flux surfaces, a physical setting that is relevant for plasma confinement in stellarators. The aim is to gather insight on magnetic field dynamics, to elucidate accessibility and stability of three-dimensional MHD equilibria, as well as to formulate practical methods to compute them. Starting from the ideal MHD equations, a reduced dynamical system of two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for the flux function and the angle variable associated with the Clebsch representation of the magnetic field is obtained. It is shown that under suitable boundary and gauge conditions such reduced system preserves magnetic energy, magnetic helicity, and total magnetic flux. The noncanonical Hamiltonian structure of the reduced system is identified, and used to show the nonlinear stability of steady solutions against perturbations involving only one Clebsch potential. The Hamiltonian structure is also applied to construct a dissipative dynamical system through the method of double brackets. This dissipative system enables the computation of MHD equilibria by minimizing energy until a critical point of the Hamiltonian is reached. Finally, an iterative scheme based on the alternate solution of the two steady equations in the reduced system is proposed as a further method to compute MHD equilibria. A theorem is proven which states that the iterative scheme converges to a nontrivial MHD equilbrium as long as solutions exist at each step of the iteration.

For this equation, as the value of the solution on a Cauchy surface is known, we prove the existence of viscosity solutions on the past set (future set) of the Cauchy surface. Furthermore, when the time orientation of viscosity solution is consistent, the uniqueness and stability of viscosity solutions are also obtained.

For the Stückelberg-modified massive Abelian 3-form theory in any arbitrary D-dimension of spacetime, we show that its classical gauge symmetry transformations are generated by the first-class constraints. We establish that the Noether conserved charge (corresponding to the local gauge symmetry transformations) is same as the standard form of the generator for the underlying local gauge symmetry transformations (expressed in terms of the first-class constraints). We promote these classical local, continuous and infinitesimal gauge symmetry transformations to their quantum counterparts Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry transformations which are respected by the coupled (but equivalent) Lagrangian densities. We derive the conserved (anti-)BRST charges by exploiting the theoretical potential of Noether’s theorem. However, these charges turn out to be non-nilpotent. Some of the highlights of our present investigation are (i) the derivation of the off-shell nilpotent versions of the (anti-)BRST charges from the standard non-nilpotent Noether conserved (anti-)BRST charges, (ii) the appearance of the operator forms of the first-class constraints at the quantum level through the physicality criteria with respect to the nilpotent versions of the (anti-)BRST charges, and (iii) the deduction of the Curci–Ferrari-type restrictions from the straightforward equality of the coupled (anti-)BRST invariant Lagrangian densities as well as from the requirement of the absolute anticommutativity of the off-shell nilpotent versions of the conserved (anti-)BRST charges.
