The formation of a naked singularity in a model of f(R) gravity having as source a linear electromagnetic field is considered in view of quantum mechanics. Quantum test fields obeying the Klein-Gordon, Dirac and Maxwell equations are used…
We prove a conjecture of Kuznetsov stating that the equivariant K-theory of affine Laumon spaces is the universal Verma module for the quantum affine algebra U_q(gl_n^). We do so by reinterpreting the action of the quantum toroidal algebra…
This paper continues our investigation of a class of generalized quantum groups. The "standard" R-matrix was shown to be the unique solution of a very simple, linear recursion relation and the classical limit was obtained in the case of…
We investigate the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on irreducible singular projective curves of arithmetic genus one. A description of the group of exact auto-equivalences and the set of all t-structures of this category is…
Quantum bits can be isolated to perform useful information-theoretic tasks, even though physical systems are fundamentally described by very high-dimensional operator algebras. This is because qubits can be consistently embedded into…
Let $k$ be an algebraic closure of a finite field of odd characteristic. We prove that for any rank two graded Higgs bundle with maximal Higgs field over a generic hyperbolic curve $X_1$ defined over $k$, there exists a lifting $X$ of the…
The first part of this paper introduces an analogue, for one-dimensional, singular, complete local rings, of Gersten's injectivity conjecture for discrete valuation rings. Our main theorem is the verification of this conjecture when the…
These theories, which are surely some of the simplest possible quantum field theories, were introduced in a paper of Dijkgraaf and Witten. The path integral reduces to a finite sum, so it is quite amenable to direct mathematical study.…
For the Jacobian of a curve, the Riemann singularity theorem gives a geometric interpretation of the singularities of the theta divisor in terms of special linear series on the curve. This paper proves an analogous theorem for Prym…
We prove a Riemannian positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat spin manifolds with hypersurface singularities. Unlike earlier results, some components of the singular set may be mean-concave, provided that other components of the…
The traditional Standard Quantum Mechanics (SQM) theory is unable to solve the Spin-s problem, i.e., to justify the utterly important "Pauli Exclusion Principle". A complete and straightforward solution of the Spin-Statistics problem is…
We illustrate the crucial role played by decoherence (consistency of quantum histories) in extracting consistent quantum probabilities for alternative histories in quantum cosmology. Specifically, within a Wheeler-DeWitt quantization of a…
As a system which is known to admit classical wormhole instanton solutions, Einstein-Kalb-Ramond (KR) antisymmetric tensor theory is revisited. As an untouched issue, the existence of fermionic zero modes in the background of classical…
Single-spin detection is one of the important challenges facing the development of several new technologies, e.g. single-spin transistors and solid-state quantum computation. Magnetic resonance force microscopy with a cyclic adiabatic…

We study the higher-spin gauge theory in six-dimensional anti-de Sitter space $AdS_6$ that is based on the exceptional Lie superalgebra $F(4)$. The relevant higher-spin algebra was constructed in arXiv:1409.2185 [hep-th]. We determine the…
We generalize the Hernandez-Jimbo category O of representations of Borel subalgebras of quantum affine algebras to the case of quantum loop algebras for arbitrary Kac-Moody g (as well as related algebras, such as quantum toroidal gl_1).…
Relativistic symmetries of the Dirac Hamiltonian with a mixture of spherically symmetric Lorentz scalar and vector potentials, are examined from the point of view of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The cases considered include the…
We prove a generalized vanishing theorem for certain quasi-coherent sheaves along the derived blow-ups of quasi-smooth derived Artin stacks. We give four applications of the generalized vanishing theorem: we prove a $K$-theoretic version of…
The papers [3,1,4,10] constructed an intersection theory on the moduli space of $r$-spin disks, and proved it satisfies mirror symmetry and relations with integrable hierarchies. That theory considered only disks with a single boundary…
