We compute explicit transgression forms for the Euler and Pontrjagin classes of a Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension 4 under a conformal change of the metric, or a change to a Riemannian connection with torsion. These formulae describe…
The string coupling of N=2 supersymmetric compactifications of type II string theory on a Calabi-Yau manifold belongs to the so-called universal dilaton hypermultiplet, that has four real scalars living on a quaternion-Kaehler manifold.…
We investigate a linearised Calder\'on problem in a two-dimensional bounded simply connected $C^{1,\alpha}$ domain $\Omega$. After extending the linearised problem for $L^2(\Omega)$ perturbations, we orthogonally decompose $L^2(\Omega) =…
This paper focuses on estimating the Taylor coefficients for Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions on the disk using intrinsic features of univalent functions and of Teichmuller spaces. Estimating these coefficients has a long history but…
This article deals with universal deformations of dihedral representations with a particular focus on the question when the universal deformation is dihedral. Results are obtained in three settings: (1) representation theory, (2) algebraic…
We show that a compact Kahler manifold admitting a nondegenerate holomorphic 2-form valued in a line bundle is a finite cyclic cover of a hyperkahler manifold. With respect to the connection induced by the locally hyperkahler metric, the…
We investigate deformations of Lifshitz holography in $(n+1)$ dimensional spacetime. After discussing the situation for general Lifshitz scaling symmetry parameter $z$, we consider $z=n-1$ and the associated marginally relevant operators.…
Experiments with diblock co-polymer melts display undulated bilayers that emanate from defects such as triple junctions and endcaps, \cite{batesjain_2004}. Undulated bilayers are characterized by oscillatory perturbations of the bilayer…
We propose a manifestly supersymmetric generalization of the solvable $T \overline{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional field theories. For theories with $(1,1)$ and $(0,1)$ supersymmetry, the deformation is defined by adding a term to the…
We use the manifestly N=2 supersymmetric, off-shell, harmonic (or twistor) superspace approach to solve the constraints implied by four-dimensional N=2 superconformal symmetry on the N=2 non-linear sigma-model target space, known as the…
We investigate deformations of Gauss-Bonnet-Lifshitz holography in $(n+1)$ dimensional spacetime. Marginally relevant operators are dynamically generated by a momentum scale $\Lambda \sim 0$ and correspond to slightly deformed…
We introduce the notion of a hamiltonian 2-form on a Kaehler manifold and obtain a complete local classification. This notion appears to play a pivotal role in several aspects of Kaehler geometry. In particular, on any Kaehler manifold with…
Recent work has shown that certain deformations of the scalar potential in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity can be written as double-scaled matrix models. However, some of the deformations exhibit an apparent breakdown of unitarity in the form of…
We apply Kadanoff's theory of marginal deformations of conformal field theories to twistfield deformations of Z_2 orbifold models in K3 moduli space. These deformations lead away from the Z_2 orbifold sub-moduli-space and hence help to…
M-theory suggests the study of 11-dimensional space-times compactified on some 7-manifolds. From its intimate relation to superstrings, one possible class of such 7-manifolds are those that have Calabi-Yau threefolds as boundary. In this…
It is known that supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models for the compact Kahler manifolds G/H cannot be consistently coupled to supergravity, since the Kahler potentials are not invariant under the G transformation. We show that the…
The notion of coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics was introduced recently by Hultgren-WittNystr\"om. In this paper we discuss deformation of a coupled K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a Fano manifold. In particular we obtain a necessary and…
In the present work the Calderbank-Pedersen description of four dimensional manifolds with self-dual Weyl tensor is used to obtain examples of quaternionic-kahler metrics with two commuting isometries. The eigenfunctions of the hyperbolic…
Conformal moduli spaces of four-dimensional superconformal theories obtained by deformations of a superpotential are considered. These spaces possess a natural metric (a Zamolodchikov metric). This metric is shown to be Kahler. The proof is…
The generalized Legendre transform method of Lindstrom and Rocek yields hyperkaehler metrics from holomorphic functions. Its main ingredients are sections of ${\cal O}(2j)$ bundles over the twistor space satisfying a reality condition with…
