Let $M$ be a compact closed manifold of variable negative curvature. Fix an element $\operatorname{id} \neq \gamma$ in the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of $M$, and denote the set of elements in $\Gamma$ that are conjugate to $\gamma$ by…

Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a conformal net. We give the notion of a proper action of a finite hypergroup acting by vacuum preserving unital completely positive (so-called stochastic) maps, which generalizes the proper actions of finite groups.…

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.

A Riemannian orbifold is a mildly singular generalization of a Riemannian manifold that is locally modeled on $R^n$ modulo the action of a finite group. Orbifolds have proven interesting in a variety of settings. Spectral geometers have…

Let M be a connected, simply connected, closed and oriented manifold, and G a finite group acting on M by orientation preserving diffeomorphisms. In this paper we show an explicit ring isomorphism between the orbifold string topology of the…

The moduli space and generalised global symmetries of 3d $\mathcal{N} = 5$ superconformal field theories are investigated, with a focus on the orthosymplectic ABJ theories and their discrete gauging variants. We extend the known…

We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…

Orbifolds of two-dimensional quantum field theories have a natural formulation in terms of defects or domain walls. This perspective allows for a rich generalisation of the orbifolding procedure, which we study in detail for the case of…

In this article, first we give two formulae for the delta invariant of a complex curve singularity that can be embedded as a ${\mathbb Q}$-Cartier divisor in a normal surface singularity with rational homology sphere link. Next, we consider…

The aim of this note is to provide a comprehensive treatment of the homotopy theory of $\Gamma$-$G$-spaces for $G$ a finite group. We introduce two level and stable model structures on $\Gamma$-$G$-spaces and exhibit Quillen adjunctions to…

We give explicit computations of the $\Gamma$-Euler characteristic of several families of orbit space definable translation groupoids. These include the translation groupoids associated to finite-dimensional linear representations of the…

Orbifold singularities of M-theory constitute the building blocks of a broad class of supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs). In this paper we show how the local data of these geometries determines global data on the resulting higher…

For a finite subgroup $\Gamma\subset {\mathrm{SL}}(2,\mathbb{C})$, we identify fine moduli spaces of certain cornered quiver algebras, defined in earlier work, with orbifold Quot schemes for the Kleinian orbifold $[\mathbb{C}^2/\Gamma]$. We…

Let $\Gamma$ be a dense countable subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$. Then, consider $IE(\Gamma)$; the group of piecewise linear bijections of $[0,1]$ with finitely many angles, all in $\Gamma$. We introduce and systematically study a family of…

Equivariant $\Gamma$-spaces model equivariant infinite loop spaces. In this article, we show that there exists a connective Quillen equivalence between the category of equivariant $\Gamma$-spaces and the category of orthogonal spectra.

We further develop a model unifying general relativity with quantum mechanics proposed in our earlier papers (J. Math. Phys. 38, 5840 (1998); 41, 5168 (2000)). The model is based on a noncommutative algebra $A$ defined on a groupoid $\Gamma…

We investigate toric GLSMs as models for tachyon condensation in type II strings on space-time non-supersymmetric orbifold singularities. The A-model correlators in these theories satisfy a set of relations related to the topology of the…

We develop algebraic geometry for general Segal's Gamma-rings and show that this new theory unifies two approaches we had considered earlier on (for a geometry under Spec Z). The starting observation is that the category obtained by gluing…

In this paper we define and study the "ghost loop orbifold" of an orbifold $X$ consisting of those loops that remain constant in the coarse moduli space of $X$. We construct a configuration space model for the ghost loop orbifold using an…

Let $G=\Dc_{n}$ be the dicyclic group of order $4n$. Let $\varphi$ be an automorphism of $G$ of order $k$. We describe $\varphi$ and the generalized symmetric space $Q$ of $G$ associated with $\varphi$. When $\varphi$ is an involution, we…
