We study the topology of compact manifolds with a Lie group action for which there are only finitely many non-principal orbits, and describe the possible orbit spaces which can occur. If some non-principal orbit is singular, we show that…
We define and classify the analogues of the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras for the ring corresponding to the complex projective line minus three points. The classification is given in terms of Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants. We also study…
We provide a detailed study of actions of the integers on compact quantum metric spaces, which includes general criteria ensuring that the associated crossed product algebra is again a compact quantum metric space in a natural way. We…
We prove an analogue of the Gabriel--Quillen embedding theorem for exact $\infty$-categories, giving rise to a presentable version of Klemenc's stable envelope of an exact $\infty$-category. Moreover, we construct a symmetric monoidal…
Affine Kac-Moody algebras give rise to interesting systems of differential equations, so-called Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations. The monodromy properties of their solutions can be encoded in the structure of a modular tensor category on (a…
It is well known that to each infinite class of classical groups over a commutative ring $R$, we can associate an infinite loop space by Quillen's plus construction. In this paper we generalize this fact to the case of affine Kac-Moody…
Conformal algebras, recently introduced by Kac, encode an axiomatic description of the singular part of the operator product expansion in conformal field theory. The objective of this paper is to develop the theory of ``multi-dimensional''…
We study orbit configuration spaces $\mathrm{Cf}_G(n,\mathbb{P}^1_*)$ obtained from the action of a finite homography group $G$ on $\mathbb{P}^1$. We construct a flat connection on the orbit space with values in a Lie algebra…
Effective homology techniques allow us to compute homology groups of a wide family of topological spaces. By the Whitehead tower method, this can also be used to compute higher homotopy groups. However, some of these techniques (in…
We look to gradations of Kac-Moody Lie algebras by Kac-Moody root systems with finite dimensional weight spaces. We extend, to general Kac-Moody Lie algebras, the notion of C-admissible pair as introduced by H. Rubenthaler and J. Nervi for…
We introduce a higher dimensional generalization of the affine Kac-Moody algebra using the language of factorization algebras. In particular, on any complex manifold there is a factorization algebra of "currents" associated to any Lie…
Affine Toda field theories in two dimensions constitute families of integrable, relativistically invariant field theories in correspondence with the affine Kac-Moody algebras. The particles which are the quantum excitations of the fields…
The conjugacy of split Cartan subalgebras in the finite dimensional simple case (Chevalley) and in the symmetrizable Kac-Moody case (Peterson-Kac) are fundamental results of the theory of Lie algebras. Among the Kac-Moody Lie algebras the…
We prove a slope 1 stability range for the homology of the symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups with respect to the hyperbolic form, over any fields other than $F_2$, improving the known range by a factor 2 in the case of finite…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite dimensional Lie group and consider the smooth double loop group, i.e. the Fr\'echet Lie group of smooth maps from the 2-torus to $\Gamma$. For a finite dimensional Hilbert space V, let H denote the Hilbert space of…
We show that complex semisimple quantum groups, that is, Drinfeld doubles of $ q $-deformations of compact semisimple Lie groups, satisfy a categorical version of the Baum-Connes conjecture with trivial coefficients. This approach, based on…
Let M be a topological manifold modelled on topological vector spaces, which is the union of an ascending sequence of such manifolds M_n. We formulate a mild condition ensuring that the k-th homotopy group of M is the direct limit of the…
This paper is a continuation of a previous paper in which the first two authors have introduced the spherical Hecke algebra and the Satake isomorphism for an untwisted affine Kac-Moody group over a non-archimedian local field. In this paper…
We solve the differentiation problem for Lie $\infty$-groups. Our approach builds on a classical version of Cartier duality which canonically identifies the Hopf algebra of point distributions supported at the identity of a Lie group with…
In this paper, we present a generalization of well-established results regarding symmetries of $\Bbbk$-algebras, where $\Bbbk$ is a field. Traditionally, for a $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$, the group $\Bbbk$-algebra automorphisms of $A$ captures the…
