We describe a class of non-linear transformations acting on many variables. These transformations have their origin in the theory of quantum integrability: they appear in the description of the symmetries of the Yang-Baxter equations and their higher dimensional generalizations. They are generated by involutions and act as birational mappings on various projective spaces. We present numerous figures, showing successive iterations of these mappings. The existence of algebraic invariants explains the aspect of these figures. We also study deformations of our transformations.

Abstract We study quantum corrections to hypersurfaces of dimension d + 1 > 2 embedded in generic higher-dimensional spacetimes. Manifest covariance is maintained throughout the analysis and our methods are valid for arbitrary co-dimension and arbitrary bulk metric. A variety of theories which are prominent in the modern amplitude literature arise as special limits: the scalar sector of Dirac-Born-Infeld theories and their multi-field variants, as well as generic non-linear sigma models and extensions thereof. Our explicit one-loop results unite the leading corrections of all such models under a single umbrella. In contrast to naive computations which generate effective actions that appear to violate the non-linear symmetries of their classical counterparts, our efficient methods maintain manifest covariance at all stages and make the symmetry properties of the quantum action clear. We provide an explicit comparison between our compact construction and other approaches and demonstrate the ultimate physical equivalence between the superficially different results.

AbstractA theorem is proved giving a condition under which certain standing wave solutions of non-linear Schrödinger-type equations are linearly unstable. The eigenvalue equations for the linearized operator at the standing wave can be analysed by dynamical systems methods. A positive eigenvalue is then shown to exist by means of a shooting argument in the space of Lagrangian planes. The theorem is applied to a situation arising in optical waveguides.
