We consider the conformally-invariant coupling of topologically massive gravity to a dynamical massless scalar field theory on a three-manifold with boundary. We show that, in the phase of spontaneously broken Lorentz and Weyl symmetries, this theory induces the target space zero mode of the vertex operator for the string dilaton field on the boundary of the three-dimensional manifold. By a fur...

in this paper we get some results and applications for duals and approximate duals of g-frames in hilbert spaces. in particular, we consider the stability of duals and approximate duals under bounded operators and we study duals and approximate duals of g-frames in the direct sum of hilbert spaces. we also obtain some results for perturbations of approximate duals.

We propose an algorithm-independent framework to equip existing optimization methods with primal-dual certificates. Such certificates and corresponding rate of convergence guarantees are important for practitioners to diagnose progress, in particular in machine learning applications. We obtain new primal-dual convergence rates e.g. for the Lasso as well as many L1, Elastic-Net and group-lasso-r...

A new notion of higher-order weakly generalized adjacent epiderivative for a set-valued map is introduced. By virtue of the epiderivative and weak minimality, a higher-order Mond-Weir type dual problem and a higher-order Wolfe type dual problem are introduced for a constrained setvalued optimization problem, respectively. Then, corresponding weak duality, strong duality and converse duality the...

Convexity theory and duality theory are important issues in math- ematical programming. Within the framework of credibility theory, this paper rst introduces the concept of convex fuzzy variables and some basic criteria. Furthermore, a convexity theorem for fuzzy chance constrained programming is proved by adding some convexity conditions on the objective and constraint functions. Finally,...

This paper investigates the impact of board characteristics (such as size, independence, CEO Duality, meetings, and committee) on corporate sustainability reporting (CSR) in China. Unlike previous studies, we examine this relationship light three pillars reporting: economic, environmental, social. Using both Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) Dynamics (DOLS) empirical models, our data...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of corporate governance mechanisms in preventing the bankruptcy of companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. For this purpose, corporate governance mechanisms, including institutional ownership, non-executive members of the board, CEO dual responsibility and free float stock are determined as independent variables and Bankruptcy based on the ...

let $x$ be a sufficiently nice scheme. we survey some recent progress on dualizing complexes. it turns out that a complex in $kinj x$ is dualizing if and only if tensor product with it induces an equivalence of categories from murfet's new category $kmpr x$ to the category $kinj x$. in these terms, it becomes interesting to wonder how to glue such equivalences.
