We argue that the large n limit of the n-particle SU(1, 1|2) superconformal Calogero model provides a microscopic description of the extreme Reissner-Nordström black hole in the near-horizon limit.

We show that the Calogero and Calogero-Sutherland models possess an N -body generalization of shape invariance. We obtain the operator representation that gives rise to this result, and discuss the implications of this result, including the possibility of solving these models using algebraic methods based on this shape invariance. Our representation gives us a natural way to construct supersymm...

Suppose G is a tree. Graham’s “Tree Reconstruction Conjecture” states that G is uniquely determined by the integer sequence |G|, |L(G)|, |L(L(G))|, |L(L(L(G)))|, . . ., where L(H) denotes the line graph of the graph H . Little is known about this question apart from a few simple observations. We show that the number of trees on n vertices which can be distinguished by their associated integer s...

We show that for an odd prime p, the p-primary parts of refinements of the (imprimitive) non-abelian Brumer and Brumer–Stark conjectures are implied by the equivariant Iwasawa main conjecture (EIMC) for totally real fields. Crucially, this result does not depend on the vanishing of the relevant Iwasawa μ-invariant. In combination with the authors’ previous work on the EIMC, this leads to uncond...

It is shown that Rota’s basis conjecture follows from a similar conjecture that involves only three bases instead of n bases. Two counterexamples to the analogous conjecture involving only two bases are presented. [Note added 18 May 2005: Colin McDiarmid found a counterxample to Conjecture 2 after reading a previous version of this paper. See the end of the paper for details.]

Let P be a set of n points in R. It was conjectured by Schur that the maximum number of (d− 1)-dimensional regular simplices of edge length diam(P ), whose every vertex belongs to P , is n. We prove this statement under the condition that any two of the simplices share at least d− 2 vertices and we conjecture that this condition is always satisfied.

We consider simplicial polytopes, and more general simplicial complexes, without missing faces above a fixed dimension. Sharp analogues of McMullen’s generalized lower bounds, and of Barnette’s lower bounds, are conjectured for these families of complexes. Some partial results on these conjectures are presented.

We construct a separation of variables for the classical n-particle Ruijsenaars system (the relativistic analog of the elliptic Calogero-Moser system). The separated coordinates appear as the poles of the properly normalised eigenvector (Baker-Akhiezer function) of the corresponding Lax matrix. Two different normalisations of the BA functions are analysed. The canonicity of the separated variab...

We introduce the notion of sofic measurable equivalence relations. Using them we prove that Connes’ Embedding Conjecture as well as the Measurable Determinant Conjecture of Lück, Sauer and Wegner hold for treeable equivalence relations.

We introduce 3N × 3N Lax pair with spectral parameter for Calogero-Inozemtsev model. The one degree of freedom case appears to have 2 × 2 Lax representation. We derive it from the elliptic Gaudin model via some reduction procedure and prove algebraic integrability. This Lax pair provides elliptic linear problem for the Painlevé VI equation in elliptic form.
