A generalization of the injectivity condition for Projected Entangled Pair States

We introduce a family of tensor network states that we term semi-injective Projected Entangled-Pair States (PEPS). They extend the class of injective PEPS and include other states, like the ground states of the AKLT and the CZX models in square lattices. We construct parent Hamiltonians for which semi-injective PEPS are unique ground states. We also determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for two tensors to generate the same family of such states in two spatial dimensions. Using this result, we show that the third cohomology labeling of Symmetry Protected Topological phases extends to semi-injective PEPS.Comment: 63 page

Inverse scattering of Canonical systems and their evolution

In this work we present an analogue of the inverse scattering for Canonical systems using theory of vessels and associated to them completely integrable systems. Analytic coefficients fits into this setting, significantly expanding the class of functions for which the inverse scattering exist. We also derive an evolutionary equation, arising from canonical systems, which describes the evolution of the logarithmic derivative of the tau function, associated to these systemsComment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1303.532

Krein systems

In the present paper we extend results of M.G. Krein associated to the spectral problem for Krein systems to systems with matrix valued accelerants with a possible jump discontinuity at the origin. Explicit formulas for the accelerant are given in terms of the matrizant of the system in question. Recent developments in the theory of continuous analogs of the resultant operator play an essential role

The total coordinate ring of a wonderful variety

We study the cone of effective divisors and the total coordinate ring of wonderful varieties, with applications to their automorphism group. We show that the total coordinate ring of any spherical variety is obtained from that of the associated wonderful variety by a base change of invariant subrings.Comment: Final version, to appear in Journal of Algebr

Well-posedness via Monotonicity. An Overview

The idea of monotonicity (or positive-definiteness in the linear case) is shown to be the central theme of the solution theories associated with problems of mathematical physics. A "grand unified" setting is surveyed covering a comprehensive class of such problems. We elaborate the applicability of our scheme with a number examples. A brief discussion of stability and homogenization issues is also provided.Comment: Thoroughly revised version. Examples correcte
