This paper provides a topological interpretation for number theoretic properties of quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. In particular, it is shown that the p-adic valuation of the quantum SO(3)-invariant of a 3-manifold M, for odd primes p, is bounded below by a linear function of the mod p first betti number of M. Sharper bounds using more delicate topological invariants related to Massey products are given as well.

A purely combinatorial compactification of the configuration space of n (>4) distinct points with equal weights in the real projective line was introduced by M. Yoshida. We geometrize it so that it will be a real hyperbolic cone-manifold of finite volume with dimension n-3. Then, we vary weights for points. The geometrization still makes sense and yields a deformation. The effectivity of deformations arisen in this manner will be locally described in the existing deformation theory of hyperbolic structures when n-3 = 2, 3.

Let M be a closed connected manifold. Let m(M) be the Morse number of M, that is, the minimal number of critical points of a Morse function on M. Let N be a finite cover of M of degree d. M.Gromov posed the following question: what are the asymptotic properties of m(N) as d goes to infinity? In this paper we study the case of high dimensional manifolds M with free abelian fundamental group. Let x be a non-zero element of H^1(M), let M(x) be the infinite cyclic cover corresponding to x, and t be a generator of the structure group of this cover. Set M(x,k)=M(x)/t^k. We prove that the sequence m(M(x,k))/k converges as k goes to infinity. For x outside of a finite union of hyperplanes in H^1(M) we obtain the asymptotics of m(M(x,k)) as k goes to infinity, in terms of homotopy invariants of M related to Novikov homology of M.

Recently Arnold's $\St$ and $J^{\pm}$ invariants of generic planar curves have been generalized to the case of generic planar wave fronts. We generalize these invariants to the case of wave fronts on an arbitrary surface $F$. All invariants satisfying the axioms which naturally generalize the axioms used by Arnold are explicitly described. We also give an explicit formula for the finest order one $J^+$-type invariant of fronts on an orientable surface $F\neq S^2$. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for an invariant of nongeneric fronts with one nongeneric singular point to be the Vassiliev-type derivative of an invariant of generic fronts. As a byproduct, we calculate all homotopy groups of the space of Legendrian immersions of $S^1$ into the spherical cotangent bundle of a surface.

The notion of $\alpha$-large families of finite subsets of an infinite set is defined for every countable ordinal number $\alpha$, extending the known notion of large families. The definition of the $\alpha$-large families is based on the transfinite hierarchy of the Schreier families $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}, \alpha<\omega_1$. We prove the existence of such families on the cardinal number $2^{\aleph_0}$ and we study their properties. As an application, based on those families we construct a reflexive space $\mathfrak{X}_{2^{\aleph_0}}^{\alpha}$, $\alpha<\omega_1$ with density the continuum, such that every bounded non norm convergent sequence $\{x_k\}_k$ has a subsequence generating $\ell_1^{\alpha}$ as a spreading model.

For a space $X$ denote by $C_b(X)$ the Banach algebra of all continuous bounded scalar-valued functions on $X$ and denote by $C_0(X)$ the set of all elements in $C_b(X)$ which vanish at infinity. We prove that certain Banach subalgebras $H$ of $C_b(X)$ are isometrically isomorphic to $C_0(Y)$, for some unique (up to homeomorphism) locally compact Hausdorff space $Y$. The space $Y$ is explicitly constructed as a subspace of the Stone--\v{C}ech compactification of $X$. The known construction of $Y$ enables us to examine certain properties of either $H$ or $Y$ and derive results not expected to be deducible from the standard Gelfand Theory.

In this paper, we firstly construct a Hausdorff non-submetrizable paratopological group $G$ in which every point is a $G_{\delta}$-set, which gives a negative answer to Arhangel'ski\v{\i}\ and Tkachenko's question [Topological Groups and Related Structures, Atlantis Press and World Sci., 2008]. We prove that each first-countable Abelian paratopological group is submetrizable. Moreover, we discuss developable paratopological groups and construct a non-metrizable, Moore paratopological group. Further, we prove that a regular, countable, locally $k_{\omega}$-paratopological group is a discrete topological group or contains a closed copy of $S_{\omega}$. Finally, we discuss some properties on non-H-closed paratopological groups, and show that Sorgenfrey line is not H-closed, which gives a negative answer to Arhangel'ski\v{\i}\ and Tkachenko's question [Topological Groups and Related Structures, Atlantis Press and World Sci., 2008].

Also we prove that any two universal meager $F_\sigma$-sets in $M$ are ambiently homeomorphic.

The ultrametrization of the set of all probability measures of compact support on the ultrametric spaces was first defined by Hartog and de Vink. In this paper we consider a similar construction for the so called max-min measures on the ultrametric spaces. In particular, we prove that the functors max-min measures and idempotent measures are isomorphic. However, we show that this is not the case for the monads generated by these functors.

Any simplicial embedding of $X_n$ into any pants graph $P(S_{0,m})$ of a punctured sphere is induced by an embedding $S_{0,n} \to S_{0,m}$.

For an oriented surface link $F$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$, we consider a satellite construction of a surface link, called a 2-dimensional braid over $F$, which is in the form of a covering over $F$. We introduce the notion of an $m$-chart on a surface diagram $\pi(F)\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ of $F$, which is a finite graph on $\pi(F)$ satisfying certain conditions and is an extended notion of an $m$-chart on a 2-disk presenting a surface braid. A 2-dimensional braid over $F$ is presented by an $m$-chart on $\pi(F)$. It is known that two surface links are equivalent if and only if their surface diagrams are related by a finite sequence of ambient isotopies of $\mathbb{R}^3$ and local moves called Roseman moves. We show that Roseman moves for surface diagrams with $m$-charts can be well-defined.

As a corollary we construct examples of spaces realising strict inequality in the logarithmic law for AN-asdim of a Cartesian product. One of them may be viewed as a counterexample to a specific kind of a Morita-type theorem for AN-asdim.

We give two applications of our main result.

We define a "reduced" version of the knot Floer complex $CFK^-(K)$, and show that it behaves well under connected sums and retains enough information to compute Heegaard Floer $d$-invariants of manifolds arising as surgeries on the knot $K$. As an application to connected sums, we prove that if a knot in the three-sphere admits an $L$-space surgery, it must be a prime knot. As an application of the computation of $d$-invariants, we show that the Alexander polynomial is a concordance invariant within the class of $L$-space knots, and show the four-genus bound given by the $d$-invariant of +1-surgery is independent of the genus bounds given by the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o $\tau$ invariant, the knot signature and the Rasmussen $s$ invariant.

We apply previous results on the representations of solvable linear algebraic groups to construct a new class of free divisors whose complements are $K(\pi, 1)$'s. These free divisors arise as the exceptional orbit varieties for a special class of "block representations" and have the structure of determinantal arrangements. Among these are the free divisors defined by conditions for the (modified) Cholesky-type factorizations of matrices, which contain the determinantal varieties of singular matrices of various types as components. These complements are proven to be homotopy tori, as are the Milnor fibers of these free divisors. The generators for the complex cohomology of each are given in terms of forms defined using the basic relative invariants of the group representation.

In this paper we introduce "critical surfaces", which are described via a 1-complex whose definition is reminiscent of the curve complex. Our main result is that if the minimal genus common stabilization of a pair of strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings of a 3-manifold is not critical, then the manifold contains an incompressible surface. Conversely, we also show that if a non-Haken 3-manifold admits at most one Heegaard splitting of each genus, then it does not contain a critical Heegaard surface. In the final section we discuss how this work leads to a natural metric on the space of strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings, as well as many new and interesting open questions.

This allows us to clarify the case of equality in the stable isosytolic inequalities in that setting. We also discuss other values of the Betti number.

These computations provide another example of a simple simply connected group G such that BG is not stably rational.

We study two classes of linear difference differential equations analogous to Euler-Cauchy ordinary differential equations, but in which multiple arguments are shifted forward or backward by fixed amounts. Special cases of these equations have arisen in diverse branches of number theory and combinatorics. They are also of use in linear control theory. Here, we study these equations in a general setting. Building on previous work going back to de Bruijn, we show how adjoint equations arise naturally in the problem of uniqueness of solutions. Exploiting the adjoint relationship in a new way leads to a significant strengthening of previous uniqueness results. Specifically, we prove here that the general Euler-Cauchy difference differential equation with advanced arguments has a unique solution (up to a multiplicative constant) in the class of functions bounded by an exponential function on the positive real line. For the closely related class of equations with retarded arguments, we focus on a corresponding class of solutions, locating and classifying the points of discontinuity. We also provide an explicit asymptotic expansion at infinity.

Given a compact manifold X, the set of simple manifold structures on X x \Delta^k relative to the boundary can be viewed as the k-th homotopy group of a space \S^s (X). This space is called the block structure space of X. We study the block structure spaces of real projective spaces. Generalizing Wall's join construction we show that there is a functor from the category of finite dimensional real vector spaces with inner product to the category of pointed spaces which sends the vector space V to the block structure space of the projective space of V. We study this functor from the point of view of orthogonal calculus of functors; we show that it is polynomial of degree <= 1 in the sense of orthogonal calculus. This result suggests an attractive description of the block structure space of the infinite dimensional real projective space via the Taylor tower of orthogonal calculus. This space is defined as a colimit of block structure spaces of projective spaces of finite-dimensional real vector spaces and is closely related to some automorphisms spaces of real projective spaces.

We introduce a singular chain intersection homology theory which generalizes that of King and which agrees with the Deligne sheaf intersection homology of Goresky and MacPherson on any topological stratified pseudomanifold, compact or not, with constant or local coefficients, and with traditional perversities or superperversities (those satisfying p(2)>0). For the case p(2)=1, these latter perversitie were introduced by Cappell and Shaneson and play a key role in their superduality theorem for embeddings. We further describe the sheafification of this singular chain complex and its adaptability to broader classes of stratified spaces.

Abelian $t$-modules and the dual notion of $t$-motives were introduced by Anderson as a generalization of Drinfeld modules. For such Anderson defined and studied the important concept of uniformizability. It is an interesting question, and the main objective of the present article to see how uniformizability behaves in families. Since uniformizability is an analytic notion, we have to work with families over a rigid analytic base. We provide many basic results, and in fact a large part of this article concentrates on laying foundations for studying the above question. Building on these, we obtain a generalization of a uniformizability criterion of Anderson and, among other things, we establish that the locus of uniformizability is Berkovich open.

We consider orbifolds as diffeological spaces. This gives rise to a natural notion of differentiable maps between orbifolds, making them into a subcategory of diffeology. We prove that the diffeological approach to orbifolds is equivalent to Satake's notion of a V-manifold and to Haefliger's notion of an orbifold. This follows from a lemma: a diffeomorphism (in the diffeological sense) of finite linear quotients lifts to an equivariant diffeomorphism.

We find a distributive (v, 0, 1)-semilattice S of size $ aleph\_1$ that is not isomorphic to the maximal semilattice quotient of any Riesz monoid endowed with an order-unit of finite stable rank. We thus obtain solutions to various open problems in ring theory and in lattice theory. In particular: - There is no exchange ring (thus, no von Neumann regular ring and no C*-algebra of real rank zero) with finite stable rank whose semilattice of finitely generated, idempotent-generated two-sided ideals is isomorphic to S. - There is no locally finite, modular lattice whose semilattice of finitely generated congruences is isomorphic to S. These results are established by constructing an infinitary statement, denoted here by URPsr, that holds in the maximal semilattice quotient of every Riesz monoid endowed with an order-unit of finite stable rank, but not in the semilattice S.

Phantom depth, phantom nonzerodivisors, and phantom exact sequences are analogues of the non-"phantom" notions which have been useful in tackling the (very difficult) localization problem in tight closure theory. In the present paper, these notions are developed further and partially reworked. For instance, although no analogue of a long exact sequence arises from a short stably phantom exact sequence of complexes, we provide a method for recovering the kind of information obtainable from such a long sequence. Also, we give alternate characterizations of the notion of phantom depth, including one based on Koszul homology which we use to show that with very mild conditions on a finitely generated module $M$, any two maximal phantom $M$-regular sequences in an ideal $I$ have the same length. In order to do so, we prove a "Nakayama lemma for tight closure" which is of independent interest. We strengthen the connection of phantom depth with minheight, we explore several analogues of "associated prime" in tight closure theory, and we discuss a connection with the problem of when tight closure commutes with localization.

We prove that a singular-hyperbolic attractor of a 3-dimensional flow is chaotic, in two strong different senses. Firstly, the flow is expansive: if two points remain close for all times, possibly with time reparametrization, then their orbits coincide. Secondly, there exists a physical (or Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen) measure supported on the attractor whose ergodic basin covers a full Lebesgue (volume) measure subset of the topological basin of attraction. Moreover this measure has absolutely continuous conditional measures along the center-unstable direction, is a $u$-Gibbs state and an equilibrium state for the logarithm of the Jacobian of the time one map of the flow along the strong-unstable direction. This extends to the class of singular-hyperbolic attractors the main elements of the ergodic theory of uniformly hyperbolic (or Axiom A) attractors for flows.

In this paper we study general quantum affinizations $\U_q(\hat{\Glie})$ of symmetrizable quantum Kac-Moody algebras and we develop their representation theory. We prove a triangular decomposition and we give a classication of (type 1) highest weight simple integrable representations analog to Drinfel'd-Chari-Pressley one. A generalization of the q-characters morphism, introduced by Frenkel-Reshetikhin for quantum affine algebras, appears to be a powerful tool for this investigation. For a large class of quantum affinizations (including quantum affine algebras and quantum toroidal algebras), the combinatorics of q-characters give a ring structure * on the Grothendieck group $\text{Rep}(\U_q(\hat{\Glie}))$ of the integrable representations that we classified. We propose a new construction of tensor products in a larger category by using the Drinfel'd new coproduct (it can not directly be used for $\text{Rep}(\U_q(\hat{\Glie}))$ because it involves infinite sums). In particular we prove that * is a fusion product (a product of representations is a representation).

Then we show how to use loop groups and hypercohomology to write explicit hamiltonians. We work on an arbitrary complete algebraic curve, the structure group is an arbitrary semisimiple group.

The canonical and dual canonical basis of the Fock space are computed and then used to derive the finite-dimenisonal tilting and irreducible characters for the Lie superalgebra osp(2|2n). We also determine all the composition factors of the symmetric tensors of the natural osp(2|2n)-module.

We introduce an algebra $\mathcal H$ consisting of difference-reflection operators and multiplication operators that can be considered as a $q=1$ analogue of Sahi's double affine Hecke algebra related to the affine root system of type $(C^\vee_1, C_1)$. We study eigenfunctions of a Dunkl-Cherednik-type operator in the algebra $\mathcal H$, and the corresponding Fourier transforms. These eigenfunctions are non-symmetric versions of the Wilson polynomials and the Wilson functions.

The notion of mixed representations of quivers can be derived from ordinary quiver representations by considering the dual action of groups on "vertex" vector spaces together with the usual action. A generating system for the algebra of semi-invariants of mixed representations of a quiver is determined. This is done by reducing the problem to the case of bipartite quivers of the special form and by introducing a function DP on three matrices, which is a mixture of the determinant and two pfaffians.

In this paper, we establish two results concerning algebraic $(\mathbb{C},+)$-actions on $\mathbb{C}^n$. First let $\phi$ be an algebraic $(\mathbb{C},+)$-action on $\mathbb{C}^3$. By a result of Miyanishi, its ring of invariants is isomorphic to $\mathbb{C}[t_1,t_2]$. If $f_1,f_2$ generate this ring, the quotient map of $\phi$ is the map $F:\mathbb{C}^3\to \mathbb{C}^2$, $x\mapsto (f_1(x),f_2(x))$. By using some topological arguments, we prove that $F$ is always surjective. Second, we are interested in dominant polynomial maps $F:\mathbb{C}^n\to \mathbb{C}^{n-1}$ whose connected components of their connected fibres are contractible. For such maps, we prove the existence of an algebraic $(\mathbb{C},+)$-action $\phi$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$ for which $F$ is invariant. Moreover we give some conditions so that $F^*(\mathbb{C}[t_1,...,t_{n-1}])$ is the ring of invariants of $\phi$.

Generalizing the passage from a fan to a toric variety, we provide a combinatorial approach to construct arbitrary effective torus actions on normal, algebraic varieties. Based on the notion of a ``proper polyhedral divisor'' introduced in earlier work, we develop the concept of a ``divisorial fan'' and show that these objects encode the equivariant gluing of affine varieties with torus action. We characterize separateness and completeness of the resulting varieties in terms of divisorial fans, and we study examples like C*-surfaces and projectivizations of (non-split) vector bundles over toric varieties.

A visible action on a complex manifold is a holomorphic action that admits a $J$-transversal totally real submanifold $S$. It is said to be strongly visible if there exists an orbit-preserving anti-holomorphic diffeomorphism $\sigma$ such that $\sigma |_S = \mathrm{id}$. In this paper, we prove that for any Hermitian symmetric space $D = G/K$ the action of any symmetric subgroup $H$ is strongly visible. The proof is carried out by finding explicitly an orbit-preserving anti-holomorphic involution and a totally real submanifold $S$. Our geometric results provide a uniform proof of various multiplicity-free theorems of irreducible highest weight modules when restricted to reductive symmetric pairs, for both classical and exceptional cases, for both finite and infinite dimensional cases, and for both discrete and continuous spectra.

Let $X$ be a topological space upon which a compact connected Lie group $G$ acts. It is well-known that the equivariant cohomology $H_G^*(X;\Q)$ is isomorphic to the subalgebra of Weyl group invariants of the equivariant cohomology $H_T^*(X;\Q)$, where $T$ is a maximal torus of $G$. This relationship breaks down for coefficient rings $\k$ other than $\Q$. Instead, we prove that under a mild condition on $\k$ the algebra $H_G^*(X,\k)$ is isomorphic to the subalgebra of $H_T^*(X,\k)$ annihilated by the divided difference operators.

We give a coordinate system on each stratum, and show that all strata are coisotropic subvarieties. Also, we discuss possible connections to the positive and cluster geometry of $G/B^+\times G/B^-$, which would generalize results of Fomin and Zelevinsky on double Bruhat cells and Marsh and Rietsch on double Schubert cells.

Our main result is that the simple Lie group $G=Sp(n,1)$ acts properly isometrically on $L^p(G)$ if $p>4n+2$. To prove this, we introduce property $({\BP}_0^V)$, for $V$ be a Banach space: a locally compact group $G$ has property $({\BP}_0^V)$ if every affine isometric action of $G$ on $V$, such that the linear part is a $C_0$-representation of $G$, either has a fixed point or is metrically proper. We prove that solvable groups, connected Lie groups, and linear algebraic groups over a local field of characteristic zero, have property $({\BP}_0^V)$. As a consequence for unitary representations, we characterize those groups in the latter classes for which the first cohomology with respect to the left regular representation on $L^2(G)$ is non-zero; and we characterize uniform lattices in those groups for which the first $L^2$-Betti number is non-zero.

Moreover, we express the cohomology of that sequence as an Ext module involving a suitably defined equivariant homology of X. One consequence is that the GKM method for computing equivariant cohomology applies to a Poincare duality space if and only if the equivariant Poincare pairing is perfect.

This paper continues the study of the mixed problem for the Laplacian. We consider a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subset \reals^n$, $n\geq2$, with boundary that is decomposed as $\partial\Omega=D\cup N$, $D$ and $N$ disjoint. We let $\Lambda$ denote the boundary of $D$ (relative to $\partial\Omega$) and impose conditions on the dimension and shape of $\Lambda$ and the sets $N$ and $D$. Under these geometric criteria, we show that there exists $p_0>1$ depending on the domain $\Omega$ such that for $p$ in the interval $(1,p_0)$, the mixed problem with Neumann data in the space $L^p(N)$ and Dirichlet data in the Sobolev space $W^ {1,p}(D) $ has a unique solution with the non-tangential maximal function of the gradient of the solution in $L^p(\partial\Omega)$. We also obtain results for $p=1$ when the Dirichlet and Neumann data comes from Hardy spaces, and a result when the boundary data comes from weighted Sobolev spaces.

We completely describe the $\mathscr{C}$-dependence on $x$ of the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of $A(x)$. Thereby we extend previously known results for self-adjoint operators to normal operators, partly improve them, and show that they are best possible. For normal matrices $A(x)$ we obtain partly stronger results.

In comparison with the results on energies of zero sets in one complex dimension due to Qi Zhong (arXiv:0705.2000) (see also [arXiv:0705.2000]), the zero sets have higher energies than randomly chosen points in dimensions > 2 due to clumping of zeros.

We also show that if there is a p-wave resonance or an eigenvalue at zero energy then there is a time dependent operator $F_t$ satisfying $\|F_t\|_{L^1\to L^\infty} \lesssim 1$ such that $$\|e^{itH}P_{ac}-F_t\|_{L^1\to L^\infty} \lesssim |t|^{-1}, \text{for} |t|>1.$$ We also establish a weighted dispersive estimate with $t^{-1}$ decay rate in the case when there is an eigenvalue at zero energy but no resonances.

We study the isomorphism problem for the multiplier algebras of irreducible complete Pick kernels. These are precisely the restrictions $\mathcal M_V$ of the multiplier algebra $\mathcal M$ of Drury-Arveson space to a holomorphic subvariety $V$ of the unit ball $\mathbb{B}_d$. We find that $\mathcal M_V$ is completely isometrically isomorphic to $\mathcal M_W$ if and only if $W$ is the image of $V$ under a biholomorphic automorphism of the ball. In this case, the isomorphism is unitarily implemented. This is then strengthend to show that, when $d<\infty$, every isometric isomorphism is completely isometric. The problem of characterizing when two such algebras are (algebraically) isomorphic is also studied. When $V$ and $W$ are each a finite union of irreducible varieties and a discrete variety in $\mathbb{B}_d$ with $d<\infty$, then an isomorphism between $\mathcal M_V$ and $\mathcal M_W$ determines a biholomorphism (with multiplier coordinates) between the varieties; and the isomorphism is composition with this function. These maps are automatically weak-$*$ continuous. We present a number of examples showing that the converse fails in several ways. We discuss several special cases in which the converse does hold---particularly, smooth curves and Blaschke sequences. We also discuss the norm closed algebras associated to a variety, and point out some of the differences.

It is shown that every locally compact Polish group G acts freely on GxY as the full isometry group of GxY with respect to a certain proper metric on GxY, where Y is an arbitrary locally compact Polish space with (card(G),card(Y)) different from (1,2). Locally compact Polish groups which act effectively and almost transitively on complete metric spaces as full isometry groups are characterized. Locally compact Polish non-Abelian groups on which every left invariant metric is automatically right invariant are characterized and fully classified. It is demonstrated that for every locally compact Polish space X having more than two points the set of proper metrics d such that Iso(X,d) = {id} is dense in the space of all proper metrics on X.

Recollements were introduced originally by Beilinson, Bernstein and Deligne to study the derived categories of perverse sheaves, and nowadays become very powerful in understanding relationship among three algebraic, geometric or topological objects. The purpose of this series of papers is to study recollements in terms of derived module categories and homological ring epimorphisms, and then to apply our results to both representation theory and algebraic K-theory. In this paper we present a new and systematic method to construct recollements of derived module categories. For this aim, we introduce a new ring structure, called the noncommutative tensor product, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for noncommutative localizations which appears often in representation theory, topology and K-theory, to be homological. The input of our machinery is an exact context which can be easily obtained from a rigid morphism that exists in very general circumstances. The output is a recollement of derived module categories of rings in which the noncommutative tensor product of an exact context plays a crucial role. Thus we obtain a large variety of new recollements from commutative and noncommutative localizations, ring epimorphisms and extensions.

Both the Rayleigh and the resonant nuclear scattering are taken into account. We consider typical case when incident radiation first passes through an entrance slit and afterwards diffracts at the crystal planes within the Borrmann triangle. In calculations of the wave function for $\gamma$-photons, refracted or diffracted in such strongly absorbing crystal, we apply the saddle-point method. The distribution of their intensities over the basis of the Borrmann triangle is analyzed. In the spherical wave approximation of Kato, when aperture of the incident beam much exceeds the diffraction interval, the derived formulae well correlate with the familiar equations of the diffraction theory of X-rays.

Magnon Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) and supercurrents are coherent quantum phenomena, which appear on a macroscopic scale in parametrically populated solid state spinsystems. One of the most fascinating and attractive features of these processes is the possibility of magnon condensation and supercurrent excitation even at room temperature. At the same time, valuable information about a magnon BEC state, such as its lifetime, its formation threshold, and coherency, is provided by experiments at various temperatures. Here, we use Brillouin Light Scattering (BLS) spectroscopy for the investigation of the magnon BEC dynamics in a single-crystal film of yttrium iron garnet in a wide temperature range from 30 K to 380 K. By comparing the BLS results with previous microwave measurements, we re-vealed the direct relation between the damping of the condensed and the parametrically injected magnons. The enhanced supercurrent dynamics was detected at 180 K near the minimum of BEC damping.

The comparison between the noncommutative length scale $\sqrt{\theta}$ and the length variation $\delta L=h L$, detected in the GW detectors indicate that there is a strong possibility to detect the noncommutative structure of space in the GW detector set up. We therefore explore how the response of a bar detector gets affected due to the presence of noncommutative structure of space keeping terms upto second order in the gravitational wave perturbation ($h$) in the Hamiltonian. Interestingly, the second order term in $h$ shows a transition between the ground state and one of the perturbed second excited states that was absent when the calculation was restricted only to first order in $h$.

Central exclusive diffractive (CED) production of meson resonances potentially is a factory producing new particles, in particular a glueball. The produced resonances lie in trajectories with vacuum quantum numbers, essentially on the pomeron trajectory. A tower of resonance recurrences, the production cross section and the resonances widths are predicted. A new feature is the form of the non-linear pomeron trajectory, producing resonances (glueballs) with increasing widths. At LHC energies, in the nearly forward direction the $t$-channel both in elastic, single or double diffraction dissociation as well as in CED is dominated by pomeron exchange (the role of secondary trajectories is negligible, however a small contribution from the odderon may be present).

We elaborate further the $\mu$-deformation-based approach to modeling dark matter, in addition to the earlier proposed use of $\mu$-deformed thermodynamics. Herein, we construct $\mu$-deformed analogs of the Lane-Emden equation (for density profiles), and find their solutions. Using these, we plot the rotation curves for a number of galaxies. Different curves describing chosen galaxies are labeled by respective (differing) values of the deformation parameter $\mu$. As result, the use of $\mu$-deformation leads to improved agreement with observational data. For all the considered galaxies, the obtained rotation curves (labeled by $\mu$) agree better with data as compared to the well known Bose-Einstein condensate model results of T.Harko. Besides, for five of the eight cases of galaxies we find better picture for rotation curves than the corresponding Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) curves. Possible physical meaning of the parameter $\mu$, basic for this version of $\mu$-deformation, is briefly discussed.

Despite the undeniable success of the Standard Model of particle physics (SM) there are some phenomena (neutrino oscillations, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter, etc.) that SM cannot explain. These phenomena indicate that the SM has to be modified. Most likely there are new particles beyond the SM. There are many experiments to search for new physics that can be divided into two types: energy and intensity frontier. In experiments of the first type, one tries to directly produce and detect new heavy particles. In experiments of the second type, one tries to directly produce and detect new light particles that feebly interact with SM particles. Future intensity frontier SHiP experiment (\textbf{S}earch for \textbf{Hi}dden \textbf{P}articles) at the CERN SPS is discussed. Its advantages and technical characteristics are given.
