Supergravity theories in more than four dimensions with grand unified gauge symmetries are an important intermediate step towards the ultraviolet completion of the Standard Model in string theory. Using toric geometry, we classify and…
It is shown that a simple modification of the dimensional regularization allows to compute in a consistent and gauge invariant way any diagram with less than four loops in the SO(10) unified model. The method applies also to the Standard…
Group theory indicates the existence of a $SO(8) X SO(7) \subset SO(16)$ invariant self-duality equation for a 3-form in 16 dimensions. It is a signal for interesting topological field theories, especially on 8-dimensional manifolds with…
Let K be a field admitting a cyclic Galois extension of degree n. The main result of this paper is a decomposition theorem for the space of alternating bilinear forms defined on a vector space of odd dimension n over K. We show that this…

We give a survey of several models of irreducible complementary series representations and their limits, special representations, for the groups SU(n,1) and SO(n,1), including new ones. These groups, whose geometrical meaning is well known,…
We plan to translate the successful description of three-dimensional gravity as a gauge theory in the noncommutative framework, making use of the covariant coordinates. We consider two specific three-dimensional fuzzy spaces based on SU(2)…
The Getzler's formula relates the S_n-equivariant Hodge-Deligne polynomial of the space of ordered tuples of distinct points on a given variety X with the Hodge-Deligne polynomial of X. We obtain the analogue of this formula for the case…
In this paper we reconsider the problem of the Euler parametrization for the unitary groups. After constructing the generic group element in terms of generalized angles, we compute the invariant measure on SU(N) and then we determine the…
We study the noncommutative differential geometry of the algebra of endomorphisms of any SU(n)-vector bundle. We show that ordinary connections on such SU(n)-vector bundle can be interpreted in a natural way as a noncommutative 1-form on…
Valuations constitute a class of functionals on convex bodies which include the Euler-characteristic, the surface area, the Lebesgue-measure, and many more classical functionals. Curvature measures may be regarded as "localised`` versions…
A dimension group is a partially ordered countable group such that (1) every finite subset is contained in an ordered subgroup which is a finite direct power of Z and (2) the group has an order unit i.e. a positive element u such that every…
The embedding of the isometry group of the coset spaces SU(1,n)/ U(1)xSU(n) in Sp(2n+2,R) is discussed. The knowledge of such embedding provides a tool for the determination of the holomorphic prepotential characterizing the special…

We study the modular invariance of $N=2$ superconformal $SU(1,1)$ models. By decomposing the characters of Kazama-Suzuki model $SU(3)/(SU(2)\times U(1))$ into an infinite sum of the characters of $(SU(1,1)/U(1))\times U(1)$ we construct…

Let $n\ge 2$ be a positive integer. To each irreducible representation $\sigma$ of $\mr U(1)$, a $\mr U(1)$-Kepler problem in dimension $(2n-1)$ is constructed and analyzed. This system is super integrable and when $n=2$ it is equivalent to…
Given an irreducible representation of $SL_2(F_q)$ for an odd prime $q\geq 5$, we find the dimension of the space of cusp forms with respect to the full modular group taking values in the representation space. The dimension equals the…
