For the moonshine module $V^{\natural},$ whose automorphism is the Monster ${\Bbb M},$ We show how to give a uniform existence proof for irreducible $g$-twisted modules for elements of type $2A,$ $2B$ and $4A$ in ${\Bbb M}.$ The most…

The spontaneous transformations associated with symmetry-breaking phase transitions generate domain structures and defects that may be topological in nature. The formation of these defects can be described according to the Kibble-Zurek…

We use equivariant methods to establish basic properties of orbifold K-theory. We introduce the notion of twisted orbifold K-theory in the presence of discrete torsion, and show how it can be explicitly computed for global quotients.

We construct a generalization of the variations of Hodge structures on Calabi-Yau manifolds. It gives a Mirror partner for the theory of genus=0 Gromov-Witten invariants

Any permutation has a disjoint cycle decomposition and concept generates an equivalence class on the symmetry group called the cycle-type. The main focus of this work is on permutations of restricted cycle-types, with particular emphasis on…

We construct Morse homology groups associated with any regular function on a smooth complex algebraic variety, allowing singular and non-compact critical loci. These groups are generated by critical points of a certain large pertubation of…

Here we construct spaces of coinvariants for Heisenberg vertex algebras on abelian varieties and show that these globalize to twisted $\mathscr{D}$-modules on the moduli space of abelian varieties. Remarkably, we recover the standard…

In $26+1$ space-time dimensions, we introduce a gravity theory whose massless spectrum can be acted upon by the Monster group when reduced to $25+1$ dimensions. This theory generalizes M-theory in many respects and we name it Monstrous…

Artstein-Avidan and Milman [Annals of mathematics (2009), (169):661-674] characterized invertible reverse-ordering transforms on the space of lower semi-continuous extended real-valued convex functions as affine deformations of the ordinary…

We study star operations for Iwahori-Hecke algebras and invariant hermitian forms for finite dimensional modules over (graded) affine Hecke algebras with a view towards a unitarity algorithm.

We describe the twisted $K$-polynomial of multiplicity-free varieties in a multiprojective setting. More precisely, for multiplicity-free varieties, we show that the support of the twisted $K$-polynomial is a generalized polymatroid. As…

We describe a simple scheme for constructing finitely generated monoids in which left-divisibility is a linear ordering and for practically investigating these monoids. The approach is based on subword reversing, a general method of…

We discuss the properties and the permutation behaviour of the reversed Dickson polynomials of the $(k+1)$-th kind $D_{n,k}(1,x)$ over finite fields. The results in this paper unify and generalize several recently discovered results on…

Recent developments in the study of the moonshine phenomenon, including umbral and Conway moonshine, suggest that it may play an important role in encoding the action of finite symmetry groups on the BPS spectrum of K3 string theory. To…

The aim of this paper is to investigate generating functions for modification of the Milne-Thomson's polynomials, which are related to the Bernoulli polynomials and the Hermite polynomials. By applying the Umbral algebra to these generating…

For a finite field of odd number of elements we construct families of permutation binomials and permutation trinomials with one fixed-point (namely zero) and remaining elements being permuted as disjoint cycles of same length. Binomials and…

Invariants of generalized tensor fields on a line are classified using special polynomials P_mk^(-1/lambda) introduced here for this purpose. For the case of positive characteristic, a new invariant of formal power series, a width, is…

We study two aspects of Hecke symmetry in this note: first, we conjecture a generalization of the Ramanujan identities to the case of automorphic forms of Hecke groups; second, we conjecture a generalization of an inversion formula from the…

Recent work in gravitational lensing and catastrophe theory has shown that the sum of the signed magnifications of images near folds, cusps and also higher catastrophes is zero. Here, it is discussed how Lefschetz fixed point theory can be…

Two dimensional conformal field theories with large central charge and a sparse low-lying spectrum are expected to admit a classical string holographic dual. We construct a large class of such theories employing permutation orbifold…
