We introduce self-dual codes over the Kleinian four group $K = \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ for a natural quadratic form on $K^n$ and develop the theory. Topics studied are: weight enumerators, mass formulas, classification up to…
The equations describing the Kaluza-Klein reduction of conformally flat spaces are investigated in arbitrary dimensions. Special classes of solution related to pseudo-Kahler and para-Kahler structures are constructed and classified…
An almost Abelian group is a non-Abelian Lie group with a codimension 1 Abelian subgroup. This paper investigates invariant Hermitian and K\"{a}hler structures on connected complex almost Abelian groups. We find explicit formulas for the…
Starting from gravity as a Chern-Simons action for the AdS algebra in five dimensions, it is possible to deform the theory through an expansion of the Lie algebra that leads to a system consisting of the Einstein-Hilbert action plus…
We show, by an elementary and explicit construction, that the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of certain symplectic manifolds, endowed with Hofer's metric, contains subgroups quasi-isometric to Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension.
We consider degenerations of all simple Lie algebras of exceptional type obtained by embedding into affine Lie algebras. We give a filtration to consider this as an abelianisation of the original Lie algebra. We then show that the…
In this paper we consider a fractional wave equation for hypoelliptic operators with a singular mass term depending on the spacial variable and prove that it has a very weak solution. Such analysis can be conveniently realised in the…
We study the action of the derived Hecke algebra in the setting of dihedral weight one forms, and prove a conjecture of the second- and fourth- named authors relating this action to certain Stark units associated to the symmetric square…
In this article, we provide a general set-up for arbitrary linear Lie groups $H\leq \mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ which allows to characterise the almost Abelian Lie algebras admitting a torsion-free $H$-structure. In more concrete terms,…
We investigate distality and existence of distal expansions in valued fields and related structures. In particular, we characterize distality in a large class of ordered abelian groups, provide an AKE-style characterization for henselian…
We present a new application of affine Lie algebras to massive quantum field theory in 2 dimensions, by investigating the $q\to 1$ limit of the q-deformed affine $\hat{sl(2)}$ symmetry of the sine-Gordon theory, this limit occurring at the…
We construct 2-representations of quantum affine algebras from 2-representations of quantum Heisenberg algebras. The main tool in this construction are categorical vertex operators, which are certain complexes in a Heisenberg…
This paper provides a classification result for gravitational instantons with cubic volume growth and cyclic fundamental group at infinity. It proves that a complete hyperk\"ahler manifold asymptotic to a circle fibration over the Euclidean…
We formulate shifted affine iquantum groups of arbitrary quasi-split ADE types via Drinfeld presentations. We construct GKLO-type representations of shifted affine iquantum groups via algebras of difference operators, which allow us to…
In this paper we classify countable locally finite-by-abelian groups up to coarse isomorphism. This classification is derived from a coarse classification of amenable shift-homogeneous metric spaces.
We consider geometries on the space of Riemannian metrics conformally equivalent to the widely studied Ebin L^2 metric. Among these we characterize a distinguished metric that can be regarded as a generalization of Calabi's metric on the…
Various constructions of the affine Lie algebra action on the homology group of moduli spaces of instantons on 4-manifolds are discussed. The analogy between the local-global principle and the role of mass is also explained. The detailed…
We construct a family of instanton metric obtained from new exact singular solutions for minimal surfaces by noticing the correspondence between minimal surfaces in the three dimesional Euclidean space and gravitational instantons…
We employ the ADHM method to derive the moduli space of two instantons in U(1) gauge theory on a noncommutative space. We show by an explicit hyperK\"ahler quotient construction that the relative metric of the moduli space of two instantons…
In this work, we introduce a class of Timmermann's measured multiplier Hopf *-algebroids called algebraic quantum transformation groupoids of compact type. Each object in this class admits a Pontrjagin-like dual called an algebraic quantum…
