Ising n-fold integrals as diagonals of rational functions and integrality of series expansions: integrality versus modularity
We show that the n-fold integrals of the magnetic susceptibility
of the Ising model, as well as various other n-fold integrals of the "Ising
class", or n-fold integrals from enumerative combinatorics, like lattice Green
functions, are actually diagonals of rational functions. As a consequence, the
power series expansions of these solutions of linear differential equations
"Derived From Geometry" are globally bounded, which means that, after just one
rescaling of the expansion variable, they can be cast into series expansions
with integer coefficients. Besides, in a more enumerative combinatorics
context, we show that generating functions whose coefficients are expressed in
terms of nested sums of products of binomial terms can also be shown to be
diagonals of rational functions. We give a large set of results illustrating
the fact that the unique analytical solution of Calabi-Yau ODEs, and more
generally of MUM ODEs, is, almost always, diagonal of rational functions. We
revisit Christol's conjecture that globally bounded series of G-operators are
necessarily diagonals of rational functions. We provide a large set of examples
of globally bounded series, or series with integer coefficients, associated
with modular forms, or Hadamard product of modular forms, or associated with
Calabi-Yau ODEs, underlying the concept of modularity. We finally address the
question of the relations between the notion of integrality (series with
integer coefficients, or, more generally, globally bounded series) and the
modularity (in particular integrality of the Taylor coefficients of mirror
map), introducing new representations of Yukawa couplings.Comment: 100 page
The Ising model and Special Geometries
We show that the globally nilpotent G-operators corresponding to the factors
of the linear differential operators annihilating the multifold integrals
of the magnetic susceptibility of the Ising model () are
homomorphic to their adjoint. This property of being self-adjoint up to
operator homomorphisms, is equivalent to the fact that their symmetric square,
or their exterior square, have rational solutions. The differential Galois
groups are in the special orthogonal, or symplectic, groups. This self-adjoint
(up to operator equivalence) property means that the factor operators we
already know to be Derived from Geometry, are special globally nilpotent
operators: they correspond to "Special Geometries".
Beyond the small order factor operators (occurring in the linear differential
operators associated with and ), and, in particular,
those associated with modular forms, we focus on the quite large order-twelve
and order-23 operators. We show that the order-twelve operator has an exterior
square which annihilates a rational solution. Then, its differential Galois
group is in the symplectic group . The order-23 operator
is shown to factorize in an order-two operator and an order-21 operator. The
symmetric square of this order-21 operator has a rational solution. Its
differential Galois group is, thus, in the orthogonal group

Ising n-fold integrals as diagonals of rational functions and integrality of series expansions
We show that the n-fold integrals of the magnetic susceptibility
of the Ising model, as well as various other n-fold integrals of the "Ising
class", or n-fold integrals from enumerative combinatorics, like lattice Green
functions, correspond to a distinguished class of function generalising
algebraic functions: they are actually diagonals of rational functions. As a
consequence, the power series expansions of the, analytic at x=0, solutions of
these linear differential equations "Derived From Geometry" are globally
bounded, which means that, after just one rescaling of the expansion variable,
they can be cast into series expansions with integer coefficients. We also give
several results showing that the unique analytical solution of Calabi-Yau ODEs,
and, more generally, Picard-Fuchs linear ODEs, with solutions of maximal
weights, are always diagonal of rational functions. Besides, in a more
enumerative combinatorics context, generating functions whose coefficients are
expressed in terms of nested sums of products of binomial terms can also be
shown to be diagonals of rational functions. We finally address the question of
the relations between the notion of integrality (series with integer
coefficients, or, more generally, globally bounded series) and the modularity
of ODEs.Comment: This paper is the short version of the larger (100 pages) version,

Ku Band Rotary Joint Design for SNG Vehicles
A wideband I-type rectangular waveguide rotary joint (RJ) is designed, simulated and built. It has an excellent performance over the whole Ku Band (10.7-14.5 GHz) where the return loss is less than -23 dB at its highest and the insertion loss is below 0.4 dB. The rotary joint is specifically designed for satellite news gathering (SNG) vehicles providing elevation and azimuthal movement to the antenna and matching polarization when it is needed at the feed. It can also be used in other high power microwave applications,where rotation ability of the antenna is a must during the transmission such as radars
High order Fuchsian equations for the square lattice Ising model:
This paper deals with , the six-particle contribution to
the magnetic susceptibility of the square lattice Ising model. We have
generated, modulo a prime, series coefficients for . The
length of the series is sufficient to produce the corresponding Fuchsian linear
differential equation (modulo a prime). We obtain the Fuchsian linear
differential equation that annihilates the "depleted" series
. The factorization of the corresponding differential
operator is performed using a method of factorization modulo a prime introduced
in a previous paper. The "depleted" differential operator is shown to have a
structure similar to the corresponding operator for . It
splits into factors of smaller orders, with the left-most factor of order six
being equivalent to the symmetric fifth power of the linear differential
operator corresponding to the elliptic integral . The right-most factor has
a direct sum structure, and using series calculated modulo several primes, all
the factors in the direct sum have been reconstructed in exact arithmetics.Comment: 23 page
Globally nilpotent differential operators and the square Ising model
We recall various multiple integrals related to the isotropic square Ising
model, and corresponding, respectively, to the n-particle contributions of the
magnetic susceptibility, to the (lattice) form factors, to the two-point
correlation functions and to their lambda-extensions. These integrals are
holonomic and even G-functions: they satisfy Fuchsian linear differential
equations with polynomial coefficients and have some arithmetic properties. We
recall the explicit forms, found in previous work, of these Fuchsian equations.
These differential operators are very selected Fuchsian linear differential
operators, and their remarkable properties have a deep geometrical origin: they
are all globally nilpotent, or, sometimes, even have zero p-curvature. Focusing
on the factorised parts of all these operators, we find out that the global
nilpotence of the factors corresponds to a set of selected structures of
algebraic geometry: elliptic curves, modular curves, and even a remarkable
weight-1 modular form emerging in the three-particle contribution
of the magnetic susceptibility of the square Ising model. In the case where we
do not have G-functions, but Hamburger functions (one irregular singularity at
0 or ) that correspond to the confluence of singularities in the
scaling limit, the p-curvature is also found to verify new structures
associated with simple deformations of the nilpotent property.Comment: 55 page
Renormalization, isogenies and rational symmetries of differential equations
We give an example of infinite order rational transformation that leaves a
linear differential equation covariant. This example can be seen as a
non-trivial but still simple illustration of an exact representation of the
renormalization group.Comment: 36 page
Holonomic functions of several complex variables and singularities of anisotropic Ising n-fold integrals
Lattice statistical mechanics, often provides a natural (holonomic) framework
to perform singularity analysis with several complex variables that would, in a
general mathematical framework, be too complex, or could not be defined.
Considering several Picard-Fuchs systems of two-variables "above" Calabi-Yau
ODEs, associated with double hypergeometric series, we show that holonomic
functions are actually a good framework for actually finding the singular
manifolds. We, then, analyse the singular algebraic varieties of the n-fold
integrals , corresponding to the decomposition of the magnetic
susceptibility of the anisotropic square Ising model. We revisit a set of
Nickelian singularities that turns out to be a two-parameter family of elliptic
curves. We then find a first set of non-Nickelian singularities for and , that also turns out to be rational or ellipic
curves. We underline the fact that these singular curves depend on the
anisotropy of the Ising model. We address, from a birational viewpoint, the
emergence of families of elliptic curves, and of Calabi-Yau manifolds on such
problems. We discuss the accumulation of these singular curves for the
non-holonomic anisotropic full susceptibility.Comment: 36 page
Ariile naturale protejate din regiunea biogeografică panonică, România
Although it only covers 3% of the territory of the European Union, the Pannonian bioregion is home to a high biodiversity with some endemic species. In Romania, the Pannonian bioregion covers 6% of the national territory, and lies on a strip in the Western part of the country. The main purpose of our study is to evaluate the number, surface and distribution of protected natural areas at the level of Pannonian bioregulation in Romania. According to the data processed by specific GIS methods, before the designation of Natura 2000 sites, the area covered by protected areas was 1.59% (22371.86 ha) in the Pannonian bioregion, and now the area coveredby protected areas has increased up to 13, 92% (217409.01 ha). Of the 79 protected bioreales, 2 have management structures, 26 are managed by the custodians and 51 do not have management or custody facilities, and 25 are under an approved management plan
