We show that modularity and the gap condition make the holomorphic anomaly equation completely integrable for non-compact Calabi-Yau manifolds. This leads to a very efficient formalism to solve the topological string on these geometries in…
Causal rigid particles whose action includes an {\it arbitrary} dependence on the world-line extrinsic curvature are considered. General classes of solutions are constructed, including {\it causal tachyonic} ones. The Hamiltonian…
In this paper we extend a result of Dubouloz on the Cancellation Problem in higher dimensions ($\geqslant 2$) over the field of complex numbers to fields of arbitrary characteristic. We then apply the generalised result to describe the…
We sharpen constraints related to hypercharge flux in F-theory GUTs that possess U(1) symmetries and argue that they arise as a consequence of 4-dimensional anomaly cancellation. This gives a physical explanation for all restrictions that…
The scalars of an N = 1 supersymmetric sigma-model in 4 dimensions parameterize a Kaehler manifold. The transformations of their fermionic superpartners under the isometries are often anomalous. These anomalies can be canceled by…
We consider classes of noncompact n-folds with trivial canonical bundle, that are linear foliations on nonsingular projective varieties, in general without a projection to the base. We obtain them as first-order deformations of total spaces…
We obtain a partial classification of the finite groups $G$ for which the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ has projective cancellation, i.e. for which $P \oplus \mathbb{Z} G \cong Q \oplus \mathbb{Z} G$ implies $P \cong Q$ for projective…
We obtain several estimates for trilinear form with double Kloosterman sums. In particular, these bounds show the existence of nontrivial cancellations between such sums.
The Newton-Wu conditions for the cancellation of quadratic divergences in a class of two-Higgs-doublet models are analyzed as to how they may be satisfied with a typical extension of the Standard Model of particle interactions.
We establish the generalized canonical bundle formula for generalized lc-trivial fibrations with irrational coefficients over non-compact bases in the complex analytic setting, and we show that the discriminant b-divisor and moduli…
We discuss anomaly cancellation in $U(2)$ gauge theories in four dimensions. For a $U(2)$ gauge theory defined with a spin structure, the vanishing of the bordism group $\Omega_5^{\text{Spin}}(BU(2))$ implies that there can be no global…
The paper investigates vanishing conditions on the first cohomology module of a normalized rank 2 vector bundle E on P^3 which force E to split, and finds therefore strategic levels of non-vanishing for a non-split bundle. The present…
In arXiv:2407.11958, a moduli stack parametrizing $I$--indexed diagrams of Higgs bundles over a base stack $X$ was constructed for any finite simplicial set $I$, inspiring speculations about extending the non-Abelian Hodge correspondence to…
We derive and generalize the RR twisted tadpole cancellation conditions necessary to obtain consistent D=4, Z_N orbifold compactifications of Type IIB string theory. At least two different types of branes (or antibranes with opposite RR…
On the bundles of WZW chiral blocks over the moduli space of a punctured rational curve we construct isomorphisms that implement the action of outer automorphisms of the underlying affine Lie algebra. These bundle-isomorphisms respect the…
We extend the well-known 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions for continuous global symmetries to discrete groups. We state the matching conditions for all possible anomalies which involve discrete symmetries explicitly. There are two types…
Abstract. Let G be a complex reductive group and A be an Abelian variety of dimension d over $\mathbb{C}$. We determine the Poincar\'e polynomials and also the mixed Hodge polynomials of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{A}^{H}(G)$ of G-Higgs…
In this article we prove a version of Kolyvagin's conjecture for modular forms at non-ordinary primes. In particular, we generalize the work of Wang on a converse to a higher weight Gross-Zagier-Kolyvagin theorem in order to prove the…
In this paper, we discuss the chiral anomaly in a Lorentz-breaking extension of QED which, besides the common terms that are present in the Standard Model Extension, includes some dimension-five nonminimal couplings. We find, using the…
The problem of computing systematically the gauge invariant extension of WZW term through equivariant cohomology is addressed. The analysis done by Witten in the two-dimensional case is extended to the four-dimensional ones. While Cartan's…
