Where is number theory used in the rest of mathematics?
Where is number theory used in the rest of mathematics?
To put it another way: what interesting questions are there that don't appear to be about number theory, but need number theory in order to ...

Why is there a connection between enumerative geometry and nonlinear waves?
Recently I encountered in a class the fact that there is a generating function of Gromov–Witten invariants that satisfies the Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy. Let me state the fact more precisely. ...

Renormalization in physics vs. dynamical systems
I am studying complex dynamics, so to me renormalization of a dynamical system means something like a rescaled first-return map on (a subset of) the underlying space. I understand that in quantum ...

The Dedekind eta function in physics
This interesting little fellow (a nice introduction is the video "Mock Modular Forms are Everywhere" by Cheng and Felder) popped up in some operator algebra (Witt / Virasoro Lie algebra) I ...

Cycling through the Zeta Garden: Zeta functions for graphs, cycle index polynomials, and determinants
Zeta functions abound in mathematics. Audrey Terras describes in Zeta Functions and Chaos three zeta functions--the zeta fct. of a projective non-singular algebraic variety; the Artin-Mazur zeta ...

Can there be an application of discrete mathematics in PDEs, mainly the ones used in hydrodynamics?
Can there be applications of graph theory, combinatorics etc. in PDEs mainly hydrodynamics?
Tried my luck with Google's search engine, didn't show much info.
I guess you can try to use these features ...

What makes Gaussian distributions special? Local field version?
This question is inspired by the recent one about Gaussian measures over the reals:
What makes Gaussian distributions special?
I would be interested in a similar list of characterizations for the ...

Guises of the refined Eulerian numbers, generated by tangent vectors (OEIS A145271)
The Eulerian numbers (OEIS A008292, not to be confused with the Euler numbers) pop up in numerous scenarios in combinatorics and advanced analysis, one as the components of the h-vectors of the ...
