Let A be a finitely generated associative algebra over an algebraically closed field. We characterize the finite dimensional modules over A whose orbit closures are regular varieties.
We identify the untwisted moduli of heterotic orbifold compactifications for the case, when the gauge twist is realized by a rotation. The Wilson lines are found to have both continuous and discrete parts. For the case of the standard Z(3)…
We classify all linearly compact simple Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. As a corollary, we deduce the classification of all linearly compact unital simple generalized Poisson superalgebras.
Given an oriented surface of positive genus with finitely many punctures, we classify the finite orbits of the mapping class group action on the moduli space of semisimple complex special linear two dimensional representations of the…
Many mathematical models of physical phenomena that have been proposed in recent years require more general spaces than manifolds. When taking into account the symmetry group of the model, we get a reduced model on the (singular) orbit…
For any odd $n$, we describe a smooth minimal (i.e. obtained by adding an irreducible hypersurface) compactification $\tilde S_n$ of the quasi-projective homogeneous variety $S_{n}=PGL(n+1)/SL(2)$ that parameterizes the rational normal…
We explore the embedding of Spin groups of arbitrary dimension and signature into simple superalgebras in the case of extended supersymmetry. The R-symmetry, which generically is not compact, can be chosen compact for all the cases that are…
We construct toroidal compactifications of the moduli spaces of Drinfeld $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$-modules of rank $d$ with level $N$ structure as moduli spaces of log Drinfeld modules of rank $d$ with level $N$ structure. The toroidal…
Following the recent exploration of smooth heterotic compactifications with unitary bundles, orbifold compactifications in six dimensions can be shown to correspond in the blow-up to compactifications with U(1) gauge backgrounds. A powerful…
We describe a geometric, stable pair compactification of the moduli space of Enriques surfaces with a numerical polarization of degree 2, and identify it with a semitoroidal compactification of the period space.
We study 2+1D toroidal compactifications of M-theory with twists in the U-duality group. These compactifications realize many symmetric-manifolds from the classification of 2+1D extended supergravity moduli-spaces. We then focus on the…
We give compact extended formulations for the packing and partitioning orbitopes (with respect to the full symmetric group) described and analyzed in (Kaibel and Pfetsch, 2008). These polytopes are the convex hulls of all 0/1-matrices with…
If V(R) is the vertex set of a symmetric cycle R in the tope graph of a simple oriented matroid M, then for any tope T of M there exists a unique inclusion-minimal subset Q(T,R) of V(R) such that T is the sum of the topes of Q(T,R). If for…
It is proved that the orbit space of an irreducible representation of a simple connected compact Lie group of type B, C, or D can be a smooth manifold only in two cases.
This is a corrected version of my paper published in Journal of Geometry and Physics 25(1998), 205-226. I added missing cases to the classification theorem 1.1, namely the $SO(n+1)$-manifold $SO(n +2)/ (SO (n) \times SO(2))$, the…
The "weakly Hausdorff" property for pseudoradial spaces fails to be naturally characterized by unique convergence of transfinite sequences. In response, we develop the category $\mathbf{SPsRad}$ of strongly pseudoradial spaces, compactly…
The various types of compactifications of symmetric spaces and locally symmetric spaces are well-studied. Among them, the De Concini-Procesi compactification, also known as the wonderful compactification, of symmetric varieties has been…
There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…
There is a Rota-Baxter algebra structure on the field $A=\mathbf{k}((t))$ with $ P$ being the projection map $A=\mathbf{k}[[t]]\oplus t^{-1}\mathbf{k}[t^{-1}]$ onto $ \mathbf{k}[[ t]]$. We study the representation theory and…
We show that Martin Olsson's compactification of moduli space of polarized abelian varieties in \cite{ols08} can be interpreted in terms of KSBA stable pairs. We find that there is a canonical set of divisors $S(K_2)$ associated with each…
