We reformulate the question of the absence of global anomalies of heterotic string theory mathematically in terms of a certain natural transformation $\mathrm{TMF}^\bullet\to (I_{\mathbb{Z}}\Omega^\text{string})^{\bullet-20}$, from…
It is argued that singular vectors of the topological conformal (twisted $N=2$) algebra are identical with singular vectors of the $sl(2)$ Kac--Moody algebra. An arbitrary matter theory can be dressed by additional fields to make up a…
We study the topology of the tropical moduli space parametrizing stable tropical curves of genus g with n marked points in which the bounded edges have total length 1, and prove that it is highly connected. Using the identification of this…
We show that trace functions on modules of topological N=2 super vertex algebras give rise to conformal blocks on elliptic supercurves. We show that they satisfy a system of linear partial differential equations with respect to the modular…
Duality groups as (spontaneously broken) gauge symmetries for toroidal backgrounds, and their role in ($\infty$-dimensional) underlying string gauge algebras are reviewed. For curved backgrounds, it is shown that there is a duality in the…
We connect the homotopy type of simplicial moduli spaces of algebraic structures to the cohomology of their deformation complexes. Then we prove that under several assumptions, mapping spaces of algebras over a monad in an appropriate…
In this note, we fill in a gap in the literature by proving that the Teichmueller modular groups (mapping class groups) are not Poincare duality groups and the complexes of curves of surfaces have infinite homotopy type (i.e. are not…
Grothendieck duality theory assigns to essentially-finite-type maps f of noetherian schemes a pseudofunctor f^\times right-adjoint to Rf_*, and a pseudofunctor f^! agreeing with f^\times when f is proper, but equal to the usual inverse…
In a pandemic era preprint, Dao showed showed two remarkable properties of Arf rings: under some mild conditions, they admit finitely many indecomposable reflexive modules up to isomorphism and every reflexive module is actually isomorphic…
In this article, a new and natural topology on the prime spectrum is established which behaves completely as the dual of the Zariski topology. It is called the flat topology. The basic and also some sophisticated properties of the flat…
We revisit sigma models on target spaces given by a principal torus fibration $X\to M$, and show how treating the 2-form B as a gerbe connection captures the gauging obstructions and the global constraints on the T-duality. We show that a…
Among topological modular forms with level structure, $TMF_0(7)$ at the prime $3$ is the first example that had not been understood yet. We provide a splitting of $TMF_0(7)$ at the prime 3 as $TMF$-module into two shifted copies of $TMF$…
We show that mapping class groups associated to all types of real algebraic curves are virtual duality groups. We also deduce some results about the orbifold homotopy groups of the moduli spaces of real algebraic curves. We achieve these…
Fix a noetherian scheme S. For any flat map f: X->Y of separated essentially-finite-type perfect S-schemes we define a canonical derived-category map c(f):\H(X)->f^!\H(Y), the fundamental class of f, where \H(Z) is the (pre-)Hochschild…
Grothendieck-Verdier duality is a powerful and ubiquitous structure on monoidal categories, which generalises the notion of rigidity. Hopf algebroids are a generalisation of Hopf algebras, to a non-commutative base ring. Just as the…
In 4-dimensional supergravity theories, covariant under symplectic electric-magnetic duality rotations, a significant role is played by the symplectic matrix M({\phi}), related to the coupling of scalars {\phi} to vector field-strengths. In…
A basis for the space of generalized theta functions of level one for the spin groups, parameterized by the theta characteristics (the even theta characteristcs for the odd spin groups) on a curve, is shown to be projectively flat over the…
We develop an algebraic formalism for topological $\mathbb{T}$-duality. More precisely, we show that topological $\mathbb{T}$-duality actually induces an isomorphism between noncommutative motives that in turn implements the well-known…
T-duality acts on circle bundles by exchanging the first Chern class with the fiberwise integral of the H-flux, as we motivate using E_8 and also using S-duality. We present known and new examples including NS5-branes, nilmanifolds, Lens…
We prove that for any m > 1 given any m-tuple of Hecke eigenforms $f_i$ of level 1 whose weights satisfy the usual regularity condition there is a self-dual cuspidal automorphic form $\pi$ of $\GL_{2^m}(\Q)$ corresponding to their tensor…
