The nonabelian Hodge correspondence for vector bundles over noncompact curves is adequately described by implementing a weighted filtration on the objects involved. In order to establish a full correspondence between a Dolbeault and a de…

This thesis provides a classification of the chiral content of the heterotic $\mathbbm{Z}_2 \times \mathbbm{Z}_2$ orbifold models. We show that the chiral content of the heterotic $\mathbbm{Z}_2 \times \mathbbm{Z}_2$ orbifold models at any…

We analyze free-fermion conditions on vertex models. We show --by examining examples of vertex models on square, triangular, and cubic lattices-- how they amount to degeneration conditions for known symmetries of the Boltzmann weights, and…

We study the 3-form flux $H_{\m\n\l}$ associated with the semi-classical geometry of $G/H$ gauged WZW models. We derive a simple, general expression for the flux in an orthonormal frame and use it to explicitly verify conformal invariance…

We generalize the holographic correspondence between topological gravity coupled to an abelian Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions and an ensemble average of Narain's family of massless free bosons in two dimensions, discovered by…

Let $({X}, \omega)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional K\"ahler orbifold, the stabilizer groups of which are abelian and have rank at most two. Let ${E}$ be an orbi-ample vector bundle of rank $2$ over ${X}$ and let $H$ be a Hermitian metric on…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Noncommutative geometry of unital $G$-algebras is studied. A geometric structure is determined by a spectral triple on the crossed product algebra associated with the group action. This structure is to be viewed…

In this article, we prove the conjecture that Kodaira-Spencer theory for the topological vertex is a free fermion theory. By dividing the $\mathbb{C}^3$ curve into core and asymptotic regions and using Boson-Fermion correspondence, we…

The purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between suborbifolds and orbifold embeddings. In particular, we give natural definitions of the notion of suborbifold and orbifold embedding and provide many examples.…

We construct by geometric methods a noncommutative model E of the algebra of regular functions on the universal (2-fold) cover M of certain nilpotent coadjoint orbits O for a complex simple Lie algebra g. Here O is the dense orbit in the…

The class of the hypercomplex pseudo-Hermitian manifolds is considered. The flatness of the considered manifolds with the 3 parallel complex structures is proved. Conformal transformations of the metrics are introduced. The conformal…

This paper analyses the parabolic geometries generated by a free 3-distribution in the tangent space of a manifold. It shows the existence of normal Fefferman constructions over CR and Lagrangian contact structures corresponding to holonomy…

Topological properties of a certain class of spinless three-band Hamiltonians are shown to be summed up by the Skyrmion number in momentum space, analogous to the case of two-band Hamiltonian. Topological tight-binding Hamiltonian on a…

Consider the cotangent bundle of a closed Riemannian manifold and an almost complex structure close to the one induced by the Riemannian metric. For Hamiltonians which grow for instance quadratically in the fibers outside of a compact set,…

We make an attempt to develop "noncommutative algebraic geometry" in which noncommutative affine schemes are in one-to-one correspondence with associative algebras. In the first part we discuss various aspects of smoothness in affine…

We consider a closed odd-dimensional oriented manifold $M$ together with an acyclic flat hermitean vector bundle $\cF$. We form the trivial fibre bundle with fibre $M$ over the manifold of all Riemannian metrics on $M$. It has a natural…

We prove that for a group $\mathrm{SO}_n(\mathrm{R}) \subset G \subset \mathrm{GL}_n (\mathrm{R})$, any $G$-structure on a smooth manifold can be endowed with a torsion free connection which is locally the Levi-Civita connection of a…

We build on the results of [6] to show that the homology groups $\mathrm{H}_{r_1+r_2}(Y_0(\mathcal{N}_\Sigma),\mathcal{O})_{\mathfrak{m}_\Sigma}$ of arithmetic manifolds are free over certain deformation rings $R_\Sigma$, when there are…

We show that the cycle map on a variety X, from algebraic cycles modulo algebraic equivalence to integer cohomology, lifts canonically to a topologically defined quotient of the complex cobordism ring of X. This more refined cycle map gives…

In their 2007 paper, Jarvis, Kaufmann, and Kimura defined the full orbifold $K$-theory of an orbifold ${\mathfrak X}$, analogous to the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of ${\mathfrak X}$ in that it uses the obstruction bundle as a quantum…
