A glimpse into the Ultrametric spectrum

The non-relativistic string spectrum is built from integer-spaced energy quanta in such a way that the high-temperature asymptotics, via the Hardy-Ramanujan formula for integer partitions, reduces to standard two-dimensional thermodynamics. Here we explore deformed realizations of this behavior motivated by $p$-adic string theory and Lorentzian versions thereof with a non-trivial spectrum. We study the microstate scaling that results on associating quantum harmonic oscillators to the normal modes of tree-graphs rather than string graphs and observe that Hardy-Ramanujan scaling is not realized. But by computing the eigenvalues of the derivative operator on the $p$-adic circle and by determining the eigenspectrum of the Neumann-to-Dirichlet operator, we uncover a spectrum of exponentially growing energies but with exponentially growing degeneracies balanced in such a way that Hardy-Ramanujan scaling is realized, but modulated with log-periodic fluctuations.

Watch Your Step: Information Injection in Diffusion Models via Shadow Timestep Embedding

Diffusion models have become the foundation of modern generative systems, with most research focusing primarily on improving generation efficiency and output quality. The timestep embedding component is a crucial part of the diffusion pipeline, which provides a temporal conditioning signal to the denoising network, enabling it to adapt its predictions across different noise levels throughout the process. Despite their potential to contain substantial information, timestep embeddings remain underexplored in current research, especially for security risks and reliable provenance. To fill this gap, we introduce Shadow Timestep Embedding (STE), a novel mechanism that investigates the underutilized temporal space for malicious information injection into diffusion models. In particular, when zooming in on the timestep embedding space, we find that different timesteps exhibit distinct representational capabilities that can encode side-channel information. Moreover, such encoded information can be utilized for attack and defense purposes through the scheduler interface. We present a theoretical analysis of timestep embeddings as position-encoding mappings and derive a mutual coherence evaluation that explains the separability of disjoint timestep intervals. Our findings reveal the diffusion model's timestep as a powerful side channel for carrying dedicated information, motivating new directions for adversarial generative modeling by understanding the temporal dimension.

Quadratic reciprocity from a family of adelic conformal field theories

We consider a deformation of the two-dimensional free scalar field theory by raising the Laplacian to a positive real power. It turns out that the resulting non-local generalized free action is invariant under two commuting actions of the global conformal symmetry algebra, although it is no longer invariant under the full Witt algebra. Furthermore, there is an adelic version of this family of conformal field theories, parameterized by the choice of a number field, together with a Hecke character. Tate's thesis gives the Green's functions of these theories, and ensures that these Green's functions satisfy an adelic product formula. In particular, the local $L$-factors contribute to the prefactors of these Green's functions. Quadratic reciprocity turns out to be a consequence of an adelic version of a holomorphic factorization property of this family of theories on a quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We explain that at the Archimedean place, the desired holomorphic factorization follows from the global conformal symmetry.

Bounds on the Ricci curvature and solutions to the Einstein equations for weighted graphs

This is a preliminary study of the equation of motion of Euclidean classical gravity on a graph, based on the Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature on graphs. We observe that the constant edge weights configuration gives the unique solution on an infinite tree w.r.t. the asymptotically constant boundary condition. We study the minimum and maximum of the action w.r.t. certain boundary conditions, on several types of graphs of interest. We also exhibit a new class of solutions to the equations of motion on the infinite regular tree.

From $p$-adic to Archimedean Physics: Renormalization Group Flow and Berkovich Spaces

We introduce the $p$-adic particle-in-a-box as a free particle with periodic boundary conditions in the $p$-adic spatial domain. We compute its energy spectrum, and show that the spectrum of the Archimedean particle-in-a-box can be recovered from the $p$-adic spectrum via an Euler product formula. This product formula arises from a flow equation in Berkovich space, which we interpret as a space of theories connected by a kind of renormalization group flow. We propose that Berkovich spaces can be used to relate $p$-adic and Archimedean quantities generally.

Chain Integral Solutions to Tautological Systems

We give a new geometrical interpretation of the local analytic solutions to a differential system, which we call a tautological system $τ$, arising from the universal family of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces $Y_a$ in a $G$-variety $X$ of dimension $n$. First, we construct a natural topological correspondence between relative cycles in $H_n(X-Y_a,\cup D-Y_a)$ bounded by the union of $G$-invariant divisors $\cup D$ in $X$ to the solution sheaf of $τ$, in the form of chain integrals. Applying this to a toric variety with torus action, we show that in addition to the period integrals over cycles in $Y_a$, the new chain integrals generate the full solution sheaf of a GKZ system. This extends an earlier result for hypersurfaces in a projective homogeneous variety, whereby the chains are cycles. In light of this result, the mixed Hodge structure of the solution sheaf is now seen as the MHS of $H_n(X-Y_a,\cup D-Y_a)$. In addition, we generalize the result on chain integral solutions to the case of general type hypersurfaces. This chain integral correspondence can also be seen as the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence in one homological degree. Finally, we consider interesting cases in which the chain integral correspondence possibly fails to be bijective.

Graph invariants from ideas in physics and number theory

We study free scalar field theory on a graph, which gives rise to a modified version of discrete Green's function on a graph studied in \cite{CY}. We show that this gives rise to a graph invariant, which is closely related to the 2-dim Weisfeiler-Lehman algorithm for graph isomorphism testing. We complement this invariant by another type of graph invariants, coming from viewing graphs as quadratic forms over the integers. We explain that the combination of these two ideas give rise to an interesting approach to the graph isomorphism problem.

On cohomology theory of (di)graphs

To a digraph with a choice of certain integral basis, we construct a CW complex, whose integral singular cohomology is canonically isomorphic to the path cohomology of the digraph as introduced in \cite{GLMY}. The homotopy type of the CW complex turns out to be independent of the choice of basis. After a very brief discussion of functoriality, this construction immediately implies some of the expected but perhaps combinatorially subtle properties of the digraph cohomology and homotopy proved very recently \cite{GLMY2}. Furthermore, one gets a very simple expected formula for the cup product of forms on the digraph. On the other hand, we present an approach of using sheaf theory to reformulate (di)graph cohomologies. The investigation of the path cohomology from this framework, leads to a subtle version of Poincare lemma for digraphs, which follows from the construction of the CW complex.

Period Integrals and the Riemann-Hilbert Correspondence

A tautological system, introduced in [16][17], arises as a regular holonomic system of partial differential equations that govern the period integrals of a family of complete intersections in a complex manifold $X$, equipped with a suitable Lie group action. A geometric formula for the holonomic rank of such a system was conjectured in [4], and was verified for the case of projective homogeneous space under an assumption. In this paper, we prove this conjecture in full generality. By means of the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence and Fourier transforms, we also generalize the rank formula to an arbitrary projective manifold with a group action.

On the Holonomic Rank Problem

A tautological system, introduced in \cite{LSY}\cite{LY}, arises as a regular holonomic system of partial differential equations that govern the period integrals of a family of complete intersections in a complex manifold $X$, equipped with a suitable Lie group action. In this article, we introduce two formulas -- one purely algebraic, the other geometric -- to compute the rank of the solution sheaf of such a system for CY hypersurfaces in a generalized flag variety. The algebraic version gives the local solution space as a Lie algebra homology group, while the geometric one as the middle de Rham cohomology of the complement of a hyperplane section in $X$. We use both formulas to find certain degenerate points for which the rank of the solution sheaf becomes 1. These rank 1 points appear to be good candidates for the so-called large complex structure limits in mirror symmetry. The formulas are also used to prove a conjecture of Hosono, Lian and Yau on the completeness of the extended GKZ system when $X$ is $¶^n$.

On Twisted Virasoro Operators and Number Theory

We explore some axioms of divergent series and their relations with conformal field theory. As a consequence we obtain another way of calculating $L(0,χ)$ and $L(-1,χ)$ for $χ$ being a Dirichlet character. We hope this discussion is also of interest to physicists doing renormalization theory for a reason indicated in the Introduction section. We introduce a twist of the oscillator representation of the Virasoro algebra by a group of Dirichlet characters and use this to give a 'physical interpretation' of why the values of certain divergent series should be given by special L values. Furthermore, we use this to show that some fractional powers which are crucial for some infinite products to have peculiar modular transformation properties are expressed explicitly by certain linear combinations of $L(-1, χ)$'s for appropriately chosen $χ$'s, and can be understood physically as a kind of 'vacuum Casimir engergy' in our settings. We also note a relation between field theory and our twisted operators. Lastly we give an attempt to reinterpret Tate's thesis by a sort of conformal field theory on a number field.
