Equivalence of the open KdV and the open Virasoro equations for the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary

Letters in Mathematical Physics. 2015. Vol. 105. No. 10. P. 1427–1448.

In a recent paper R. Pandharipande, J. Solomon and R. Tessler initiated a study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. The authors conjectured KdV and Virasoro type equations that completely determine all intersection numbers. In this paper we study these equations in detail. In particular, we prove that the KdV and the Virasoro type equations for the intersection numbers on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary are equivalent.

Iterative construction of the R-matrices in arbitrary dimensions

Pyatov P. N., Pivovarov P. A., / Series math "arxiv.org". 2026. No. 2609.06274.

We investigate a special ansats that allows for an iterative solution of the constant Yang-Baxter equation. Testing this ansatz, we construct four sequences of the constant R-matrices. In each sequence the R-matrices act on the tensor squares of vector spaces of linearly growing dimensions. Each R-matrix also depends on a single complex parameter. By analyzing the ...

On static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential

Medvedev V., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.

We study complete static manifolds with boundary admitting a nowhere-vanishing static potential. Our main result shows that, under a natural lower bound relating the scalar curvature and the boundary mean curvature, a simple static manifold with boundary must in fact have positive scalar curvature, negative boundary mean curvature, and be compact; we also obtain explicit ...

Vague stimulating ideas, images and metaphors in scientific thinking: researchers' work with horizons of unclear knowledge

Poddiakov A., / Series Social Science Research Network "Social Science Research Network". 2026. No. 7437658.

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

On phase-lock area parquet in a special slow-fast limit of model of Josephson junction.

Glutsyuk A., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.

B.Josephson (Nobel Prize, 1973) predicted a tunnelling effect for a system of two superconductors separated by a narrow dielectric (such a system is called Josephson junction): existence of a supercurrent through it and equations governing it. The overdamped Josephson junction is modeled by the family of differential equations on the 2-torus, dθdτ=1ω(cosθ+B+Acosτ), which is known as ...

A new spin on polynomial relations among kappa classes

Kazaryan M., Dunin-Barkowski P., Bychkov B. et al., International Mathematics Research Notices 2026 Vol. 14 Article rnag146

We prove a recent conjecture of the fourth named author with P. Norbury that states a system of universal polynomial relations among the kappa classes on the moduli spaces of algebraic curves. The proof involves localization and materialization analysis of the spin Gromov–Witten theory of the projective line and is dictated by Z 2 -equivariant ...

Infinitely many graph manifolds with unique geometrical piece that admit arbitrarily many Anosov flows

Pochinka O., Shmukler V., / Series math.RT "arXiv:1808.06395 [math.RT]". 2026.

Anosov flows have a long and rich history, firstly motivated by the study of geodesic flows in negative curvature surface by Anosov and Sinai. Not every closed manifold admits an Anosov flow for well-known reasons: the fundamental group of a 3-manifold M admitting an Anosov flow must have exponential growth, and M must be universally covered by R3. Nevertheless, there ...

Pyramidal solitons: existence, instability, and interactions

Melnikov I., Pelinovsky E., Nonlinear Dynamics 2026 Vol. 114 Article 934

Pyramidal solitons (solitons with more than two inflection points) of the generalized Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation are investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such structures are presented. Within the framework of the generalized Gardner equation — the simplest model that admits pyramidal solitons as solutions — it is shown that these solutions ...

New bound on S1× S2-setting Bell locality of a nonseparable Werner state

Loubenets E. R., / Series arxiv.org "quant-ph". 2026. No. 2607.18050.

In many quantum applications it is important to know whether or not a Bell nonlocal two-qudit state exhibits its nonlocality under correlation scenarios with some given numbers S1,S2≥1 of generalized quantum measurements at two sites. In the present article, we find analytically a new general locality condition sufficient for a nonseparable Werner state with a ...

On functional equations for Chow polylogarithms

Bolbachan V., / Series math "arxiv.org". 2024.

Chow polylogarithms are some special functions arising in explicit description of the Beilinson regulator map. The most interesting functional equation for this function reflects its vanishing on the boundary in the Bloch's cycle complex. We show that this functional equation formally follows from more simple ones, namely skew-symmetry, functoriality and multiplicativity. To prove this, we study ...

Statistical inference based on band-limited kernels: Rational-infinitely divisible distributions and beyond

Panov V., Ryabchenko A., / Series arXiv "stat.ME". 2026. No. 2607.05048.

This paper investigates the problem of statistical inference for a mixture distribution consisting of a discrete and a continuous component, with a particular focus on the class of rational-infinitely divisible distributions. We consider non-parametric estimation of both components of the mixture as well as the quasi-L{é}vy measure, assuming that the mixture belongs to the class ...

Strong Approximations for Markov Chains Weakly Converging to Diffusions

Konakov V., Kucher D., Mammen E., / Series arXiv "math". 2026. No. 2606.11142v1.

In this paper, we construct strong approximations for discrete-time Markov chains weakly converging to continuous diffusion processes, as well as for their perturbed counterparts. Under the assumption of bounded coefficients, we construct closely coupled versions of these processes on a shared probability space. In particular, for both non-degenerate and degenerate cases, we maximize the probability ...

A vertex subset of a graph is called a \textit{distance-$k$ independent set} if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal distance-$k$ independent sets among all $n$-vertex trees. It equals~$n$ if $n \leq k ...

We deal with the global in time weak solutions to the 1D compressible Navier-Stokes system of equations for large discontinuous initial data and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions of three standard types. We prove the Lipschitz-type continuous dependence of the solution $(\eta,u,\theta)$, in a norm slightly stronger than $L^{2,\infty}(Q)\times L^2(Q)\times L^2(Q)$, on the initial data $(\eta^0,u^0,e^0)$ in a ...

Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes. In this paper we show that if NN latent space (LS) geometry is known and possesses specific properties, label prediction complexity can ...

Emergence of champion solitons from two-solitary-wave interactions in the fourth-order generalized Korteweg–de Vries equation

Flamarion M., Pelinovsky E., Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 2026 Vol. 208 No. 3 Article 118271

Two-solitary-wave interactions are investigated within the fourth-order generalized Korteweg– de Vries equation. This equation is closely related to the classical Korteweg–de Vries equation but includes a quartic nonlinear term. We show that, although collisions between two solitary waves are not perfectly elastic, only a small amount of radiation is generated during the interaction. This allows a clear characterization of ...
