Bosons Doubling

It is shown that next-nearest-neighbor interactions may lead to unusual paramagnetic or ferromagnetic phases which physical content is radically different from the standard phases. Actually there are several particles described by the same quantum field in a manner similar to the species doubling of the lattice fermions. We prove the renormalizability of the theory at the one loop level.Comment: 12 page

Fermion Doubling and Berenstein--Maldacena--Nastase Correspondence

We show that the string bit model suffers from doubling in the fermionic sector. The doubling leads to strong violation of supersymmetry in the limit $N\to\infty$. Since there is an exact correspondence between string bits and the algebra of BMN operators even at finite $N$, doubling is expected also on the side of super-Yang--Mills theory. We discuss the origin of the doubling in the BMN sector.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX file, no figures, PACS number: 03.65.-

Doubling measures, monotonicity, and quasiconformality

We construct quasiconformal mappings in Euclidean spaces by integration of a discontinuous kernel against doubling measures with suitable decay. The differentials of mappings that arise in this way satisfy an isotropic form of the doubling condition. We prove that this isotropic doubling condition is satisfied by the distance functions of certain fractal sets. Finally, we construct an isotropic doubling measure that is not absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure.Comment: 20 pages. Revised to address referee's comment

A proof of the weak (1,1) inequality for singular integrals with non doubling measures based on a Calderon-Zygmund decomposition

Given a doubling measure $\mu$ on $R^d$, it is a classical result of harmonic analysis that Calderon-Zygmund operators which are bounded in $L^2(\mu)$ are also of weak type (1,1). Recently it has been shown that the same result holds if one substitutes the doubling condition on $\mu$ by a mild growth condition on $\mu$. In this paper another proof of this result is given. The proof is very close in spirit to the classical argument for doubling measures and it is based on a new Calderon-Zygmund decomposition adapted to the non doubling situation.Comment: 10 page

Degree-doubling graph families

Let G be a family of n-vertex graphs of uniform degree 2 with the property that the union of any two member graphs has degree four. We determine the leading term in the asymptotics of the largest cardinality of such a family. Several analogous problems are discussed.Comment: 9 page
