N=4 supersymmetric AdS(5) vacua and their moduli spaces

We classify the N = 4 supersymmetric AdS(5) backgrounds that arise as solutions of five-dimensional N = 4 gauged supergravity. We express our results in terms of the allowed embedding tensor components and identify the structure of the associated gauge groups. We show that the moduli space of these AdS vacua is of the form SU(1, m)/ (U(1) x SU(m)) and discuss our results regarding holographically dual N = 2 SCFTs and their conformal manifolds.

Yang–Mills solutions and dyons on cylinders over coset spaces with Sasakian structure

We present solutions of the Yang–Mills equation on cylinders R×G/HR×G/H over coset spaces of odd dimension 2m+12m+1 with Sasakian structure. The gauge potential is assumed to be SU(m)SU(m)-equivariant, parameterized by two real, scalar-valued functions. Yang–Mills theory with torsion in this setup reduces to the Newtonian mechanics of a point particle moving in R2R2 under the influence of an inverted potential. We analyze the critical points of this potential and present an analytic as well as several numerical finite-action solutions. Apart from the Yang–Mills solutions that constitute SU(m)SU(m)-equivariant instanton configurations, we construct periodic sphaleron solutions on S1×G/HS1×G/H and dyon solutions on iR×G/HiR×G/H.

Linear non-local diffusion problems in metric measure spaces

The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive study of some linear non-local diffusion problems in metric measure spaces. These include, for example, open subsets in ℝN, graphs, manifolds, multi-structures and some fractal sets. For this, we study regularity, compactness, positivity and the spectrum of the stationary non-local operator. We then study the solutions of linear evolution non-local diffusion problems, with emphasis on similarities and differences with the standard heat equation in smooth domains. In particular, we prove weak and strong maximum principles and describe the asymptotic behaviour using spectral methods.

Triangular mesh parameterization with trimmed surfaces

Given a 2manifold triangular mesh \(M \subset {\mathbb {R}}^3\), with border, a parameterization of \(M\) is a FACE or trimmed surface \(F=\{S,L_0,\ldots, L_m\}\) -- \(F\) is a connected subset or region of a parametric surface \(S\), bounded by a set of LOOPs \(L_0,\ldots ,L_m\) such that each \(L_i \subset S\) is a closed 1manifold having no intersection with the other \(L_j\) LOOPs -- The parametric surface \(S\) is a statistical fit of the mesh \(M\) -- \(L_0\) is the outermost LOOP bounding \(F\) and \(L_i\) is the LOOP of the ith hole in \(F\) (if any) -- The problem of parameterizing triangular meshes is relevant for reverse engineering, tool path planning, feature detection, redesign, etc -- Stateofart mesh procedures parameterize a rectangular mesh \(M\) -- To improve such procedures, we report here the implementation of an algorithm which parameterizes meshes \(M\) presenting holes and concavities -- We synthesize a parametric surface \(S \subset {\mathbb {R}}^3\) which approximates a superset of the mesh \(M\) -- Then, we compute a set of LOOPs trimming \(S\), and therefore completing the FACE \(F=\ {S,L_0,\ldots ,L_m\}\) -- Our algorithm gives satisfactory results for \(M\) having low Gaussian curvature (i.e., \(M\) being quasi-developable or developable) -- This assumption is a reasonable one, since \(M\) is the product of manifold segmentation preprocessing -- Our algorithm computes: (1) a manifold learning mapping \(\phi : M \rightarrow U \subset {\mathbb {R}}^2\), (2) an inverse mapping \(S: W \subset {\mathbb {R}}^2 \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^3\), with \ (W\) being a rectangular grid containing and surpassing \(U\) -- To compute \(\phi\) we test IsoMap, Laplacian Eigenmaps and Hessian local linear embedding (best results with HLLE) -- For the back mapping (NURBS) \(S\) the crucial step is to find a control polyhedron \(P\), which is an extrapolation of \(M\) -- We calculate \(P\) by extrapolating radial basis functions that interpolate points inside \(\phi (M)\) -- We successfully test our implementation with several datasets presenting concavities, holes, and are extremely nondevelopable -- Ongoing work is being devoted to manifold segmentation which facilitates mesh parameterization

Objetos de la Geometría algebraica clásica y Espacios anillados

La Geometría Algebraica Clásica puede ser definida como el estudio de las variedades cuasiafines y cuasiproyectivas sobre un campo k, y en particular, del problema de su clasificación salvo isomorfismos -- Estas variedades son, por definición, subconjuntos de los n-espacios afínes y de los n-espacios proyectivos -- Es útil tener a disposición una definición intrínseca de estos objetos, es decir, independiente de un espacio ambiente -- En este artículo se muestra como la noción de Espacio Anillado es la clave para formular estas definiciones y reformular el problema de clasificación

On continuous families of geometric Seifert conemanifold structures

In this paper, dedicated to Prof. Lou Kauffman, we determine the Thurston’s geometry possesed by any Seifert fibered conemanifold structure in a Seifert manifold with orbit space (Formula presented.) and no more than three exceptional fibers, whose singular set, composed by fibers, has at most three components which can include exceptional or general fibers (the total number of exceptional and singular fibers is less than or equal to three). We also give the method to obtain the holonomy of that structure. We apply these results to three families of Seifert manifolds, namely, spherical, Nil manifolds and manifolds obtained by Dehn surgery on a torus knot (Formula presented.). As a consequence we generalize to all torus knots the results obtained in [Geometric conemanifolds structures on (Formula presented.), the result of (Formula presented.) surgery in the left-handed trefoil knot (Formula presented.), J. Knot Theory Ramifications 24(12) (2015), Article ID: 1550057, 38pp., doi: 10.1142/S0218216515500571] for the case of the left handle trefoil knot. We associate a plot to each torus knot for the different geometries, in the spirit of Thurston.
