We derive self-similar string solutions in a graph representation, near the point of singularity formation, which can be shown to extend to point-like singularities on M-branes, as well as to the radially symmetric case.
M-theory can be defined on closed manifolds as well as on manifolds with boundary. As an extension, we show that manifolds with corners appear naturally in M-theory. We illustrate this with four situations: The lift to bounding twelve…
The spaces of Riemannian metrics on a closed manifold $M$ are studied. On the space ${\mathcal M}$ of all Riemannian metrics on $M$ the various weak Riemannian structures are defined and the corresponding connections are studied. The space…
In the construction of spectral manifolds in noncommutative geometry, a higher degree Heisenberg commutation relation involving the Dirac operator and the Feynman slash of real scalar fields naturally appears and implies, by equality with…
We study the quantum Bethe ansatz equations in the O(2n) sigma-model for hysical particles on a circle, with the interaction given by the Zamolodchikovs' S-matrix, in view of its application to quantization of the string on the S^{2n-1} x…
We examine various properties of double field theory and the doubled string sigma model in the context of geometric quantisation. In particular we look at T-duality as the symplectic transformation related to an alternative choice of…
In this paper we consider (polynomial) solution spaces for the symplectic Dirac operator (with a focus on $1$-homogeneous solutions). This space forms an infinite-dimensional representation space for the symplectic Lie algebra…
In this paper, we give a criterion on the semisimplicity of quantized walled Brauer algebras $\mathscr B_{r,s}$ and classify its simple modules over an arbitrary field $\kappa$.
The Chern-Simons membranes and in general the Chern-Simons p-branes moving in $D$-dimensional target space admit an infinite set of secondary constraints. With respect to the Poisson bracket these constraints form a closed algebra which…
Let G be a unimodular Lie group, X a compact manifold with boundary, and M the total space of a principal bundle G--> M-->X so that M is also a strongly pseudoconvex complex manifold. In this work, we show that if there exists a point p in…
In categorified symplectic geometry, one studies the categorified algebraic and geometric structures that naturally arise on manifolds equipped with a closed nondegenerate (n+1)-form. The case relevant to classical string theory is when n=2…
The geometric quantization of a symplectic manifold endowed with a prequantum bundle and a metaplectic structure is defined by means of an integrable complex structure. We prove that its semi-classical limit does not depend on the choice of…
We describe a block-spin-like transformation on a simplified subset of the space of supersymmetric quiver gauge theories that arise on the worldvolumes of D-brane probes of orbifold geometries, by sequentially Higgsing the gauge symmetry in…
For a fixed prequantum line bundle $L$ over a hyperK\"ahler manifold $X$, we find a natural $\operatorname{Sp}(1)$-action on $\Omega^*(X, L)$ intertwining a twistor family of $\operatorname{Spin}^{\operatorname{c}}$-Dirac Laplacians on the…
We describe a simple algorithm that computes the recently discovered brane tilings for a given generic toric singular Calabi-Yau threefold. This therefore gives AdS/CFT dual quiver gauge theories for D3-branes probing the given non-compact…
The classical theory for a massive free particle moving on the group manifold $AdS_3 \cong SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ is analysed in detail. In particular a symplectic structure and two different sets of canonical coordinates are explicitly found,…
The gauge invariant observables of the closed bosonic string are quantized without anomalies in four space-time dimensions by constructing their quantum algebra in a manifestly covariant approach. The quantum algebra is the kernel of a…
In recent years, the near diagonal asymptotics of the equivariant components of the Szeg\"{o} kernel of a positive line bundle on a compact symplectic manifold have been studied extensively by many authors. As a natural generalization of…
We conjecture the existence of a `compactified' version of Fukaya's homology for symplectic manifolds, which carries a canonical 2-Gerstenhaber algebra structure. This may help to understand the 2-Lie algebra structure involved in models…
Let $(\X,\omega)$ be a compact symplectic orbifold. We define $\pi_1(Ham(\X, \omega))$, the fundamental group of the 2-group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $(\X, \omega)$, and construct a group homomorphism from $\pi_1(Ham(\X, \omega))$…
