H∞ Cluster Synchronization for a Class of Neutral Complex Dynamical Networks with Markovian Switching by Xinghua Liu

“…Based on a novel Lyapunov functional, by employing some integral inequalities and the nature of convex combination, mode delay-range-dependent H∞ cluster synchronization criteria are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities which depend not only on the disturbance attenuation but also on the initial values of the NCDNs. …”

Defect groups of class S $$ \mathcal{S} $$ theories from the Coulomb branch by Elias Riedel Gårding

“…Abstract We study the global forms of class S A N − 1 $$ \mathcal{S}\left[{A}_{N-1}\right] $$ 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 theories by deriving their defect groups (charges of line operators up to screening by local operators) from Coulomb branch data. Specifically, we employ an explicit construction of the BPS quiver for the case of full regular punctures to show that the defect group is (ℤ N )2g , where g is the genus of the associated Riemann surface. …”
