Crystal approach to affine Schubert calculus
We apply crystal theory to affine Schubert calculus, Gromov-Witten invariants
for the complete flag manifold, and the positroid stratification of the
positive Grassmannian. We introduce operators on decompositions of elements in
the type- affine Weyl group and produce a crystal reflecting the internal
structure of the generalized Young modules whose Frobenius image is represented
by stable Schubert polynomials. We apply the crystal framework to products of a
Schur function with a -Schur function, consequently proving that a subclass
of 3-point Gromov-Witten invariants of complete flag varieties for enumerate the highest weight elements under these operators. Included in
this class are the Schubert structure constants in the (quantum) product of a
Schubert polynomial with a Schur function for all . Another by-product gives a highest weight formulation for various fusion
coefficients of the Verlinde algebra and for the Schubert decomposition of
certain positroid classes.Comment: 42 pages; version to appear in IMR
Symmetry Decomposition of Chaotic Dynamics
Discrete symmetries of dynamical flows give rise to relations between
periodic orbits, reduce the dynamics to a fundamental domain, and lead to
factorizations of zeta functions. These factorizations in turn reduce the labor
and improve the convergence of cycle expansions for classical and quantum
spectra associated with the flow. In this paper the general formalism is
developed, with the -disk pinball model used as a concrete example and a
series of physically interesting cases worked out in detail.Comment: CYCLER Paper 93mar01
On the existence of 0/1 polytopes with high semidefinite extension complexity
In Rothvo\ss{} it was shown that there exists a 0/1 polytope (a polytope
whose vertices are in \{0,1\}^{n}) such that any higher-dimensional polytope
projecting to it must have 2^{\Omega(n)} facets, i.e., its linear extension
complexity is exponential. The question whether there exists a 0/1 polytope
with high PSD extension complexity was left open. We answer this question in
the affirmative by showing that there is a 0/1 polytope such that any
spectrahedron projecting to it must be the intersection of a semidefinite cone
of dimension~2^{\Omega(n)} and an affine space. Our proof relies on a new
technique to rescale semidefinite factorizations
Factorizations of Elements in Noncommutative Rings: A Survey
We survey results on factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms
(irreducible elements) in noncommutative rings. The point of view in this
survey is motivated by the commutative theory of non-unique factorizations.
Topics covered include unique factorization up to order and similarity, 2-firs,
and modular LCM domains, as well as UFRs and UFDs in the sense of Chatters and
Jordan and generalizations thereof. We recall arithmetical invariants for the
study of non-unique factorizations, and give transfer results for arithmetical
invariants in matrix rings, rings of triangular matrices, and classical maximal
orders as well as classical hereditary orders in central simple algebras over
global fields.Comment: 50 pages, comments welcom
