We consider unitary SQCD, a three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter theory consisting of one $U(N_c)_{k, k+l N_c}$ vector multiplet coupled to $n_f$ fundamental and $n_a$ antifundamental chiral multiplets, where…
We show that, for many choices of finite tuples of generators $X = (x_1, \dots , x_d)$ of a tracial von Neumann algebra $(M, \tau)$ satisfying certain decomposition properties (non-primeness, possessing a Cartan subalgebra, or property…
On a given manifold M, the Nijenhuis bracket makes the superspace of vector-valued differential forms into a Lie superalgebra that can be interpreted as the centralizer of the exterior differential considered as a vector field on the…
The concept of global conformal invariance (GCI) opens the way of applying algebraic techniques, developed in the context of 2-dimensional chiral conformal field theory, to a higher (even) dimensional space-time. In particular, a system of…
We introduce a class of finite dimensional nonlinear superalgebras $L = L_{\bar{0}} + L_{\bar{1}}$ providing gradings of $L_{\bar{0}} = gl(n) \simeq sl(n) + gl(1)$. Odd generators close by anticommutation on polynomials (of degree $>1$) in…
In the present paper we classify all irreducible continuous representations of the simple linearly compact n-Lie superalgebra of type W. The classification is based on a bijective correspondence between the continuous representations of the…
We give an analog of a Chevalley-Serre presentation for the Lie superalgebras W(n) and S(n) of Cartan type. These are part of a wider class of Lie superalgebras, the so-called tensor hierarchy algebras, denoted W(g) and S(g), where g…
Following the work of Siddharth Venkatesh, we study the category $\textbf{sVec}_2$. This category is a proposed candidate for the category of supervector spaces over fields of characteristic $2$ (as the ordinary notion of a supervector…
We consider the Cartan subalgebra of any very extended algebra G+++ where G is a simple Lie algebra and let the parameters be space-time fields. These are identified with diagonal metrics and dilatons. Using the properties of the algebra,…
We find that multiple vertex algebras can arise from a single 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory (SCFT). The connection is given by the BPS monodromy operator $M$, which is a wall-crossing invariant quantity that captures the…
We give a coset realization of the vertex operator algebra $M(1)^+$ with central charge $\ell$. We realize $M(1)^+$ as a commutant of certain affine vertex algebras of level -1 in the vertex algebra $L_{C_{\ell}…
The four different kinds of currents are given by the multiple $(\beta,\gamma)$ and $(b,c)$ ghost systems with a multiple product of derivatives. We determine their complete algebra where the structure constants depend on the deformation…
The superconformal index is an important invariant of superconformal field theories. In this note we refine the superconformal index by inserting the charge conjugation operator C. We construct a matrix integral for this charged index for…
Two classes of irreducible highest weight modules of the general linear Lie superalgebra $gl(1/\infty)$ are constructed. Within each module a basis is introduced and the transformation relations of the basis under the action of the algebra…
Let $\ggg:=\gl_{m|n}$ be a general linear Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathds{k}=\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of characteristic $p>2$. A module of $\ggg$ is said to be of Kac-Weisfeiler if its dimension coincides with…
We show that there are exactly two anti-involution $\sigma_{\pm}$ of the algebra of differential operators on the circle that are a multiple of $p(t\partial_t)$ preserving the principal gradation ($p\in\CC[x]$ non-constant). We classify the…
Tensor hierarchy algebras are infinite-dimensional generalisations of Cartan-type Lie superalgebras. They are not contragredient, exhibiting an asymmetry between positive and negative levels. These superalgebras have been a focus of…
We construct a generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebras using smooth maps from the non-compact manifolds ${\cal M}=$SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and ${\cal M}=$ SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$ to a finite-dimensional simple Lie group $G$. This construction is…
Given a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra g equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric, invariant bilinear form B, let V_k(g,B) denote the universal affine vertex algebra associated to g and B at level k. For any reductive group G of…
We propose a series of new subalgebras of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra parametrized by polynomials $p(w)$, and study their quasifinite representations. We also investigate the relation between such subalgebras and the…
