In this article, we give a survey of our construction of a local moduli space of scalar-flat K\"ahler ALE metrics in complex dimension $2$. We also prove an explicit formula for the dimension of this moduli space on a scalar-flat K\"ahler…
We construct a new family of irreducible modules over any basic classical affine Kac-Moody Lie superalgebra which are induced from modules over the Heisenberg subalgebra. We also obtain irreducible deformations of these modules for the…
We formulate the deformation theory for instantons on nearly K\"ahler six-manifolds using spinors and Dirac operators. Using this framework we identify the space of deformations of an irreducible instanton with semisimple structure group…
We prove an equivariant deformation result for Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian submanifolds of a Kahler manifold, with respect to deformations of its metric and almost complex structure that are compatible with an isometric Hamiltonian…
We prove that the category of Hecke eigensheaves in the metaplectic Whittaker category of the affine Grassmannian is equivalent to the category of modules over the small quantum group. This a step towards proving the FLE: the fundamental…
An almost Abelian Lie group is a non-Abelian Lie group with a codimension 1 Abelian normal subgroup. The majority of 3-dimensional real Lie groups are almost Abelian, and they appear in all parts of physics that deal with anisotropic media…
We describe the modern formalism, ideas and applications of the instanton calculus for gauge theories with, and without, supersymmetry. Particular emphasis is put on developing a formalism that can deal with any number of instantons. This…
We construct a family of exact functors from the BGG category of representations of the Lie algebra sl to the category of finite-dimensional representations of the degenerate (or graded) affine Hecke algebra H of GL. These functors…
We prove infinitesimal rigidity and integrability of the moduli space for Hermitian gravitational instantons. Together with the recent proof by Biquard, Gauduchon, and LeBrun of local rigidity for Hermitian instantons, this completes the…
All hyperK\"ahler ALE 4-manifolds with a given non-trivial finite group $\Gamma$ in $SU(2)$ at infinity are parameterized by an open dense subset of a real linear space of dimension $3$rank$\Phi$. Here, $\Phi$ denotes the root system…
We prove that the only exact Lagrangian submanifolds in an ALE space are spheres. ALE spaces are the simply connected hyperkahler manifolds which at infinity look like C^2/G for any finite subgroup G of SL(2,C). They can be realized as the…
We survey and compare recent approaches to the computation of the partition functions and correlators of chiral BPS observables in $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories on ALE spaces based on quiver varieties and the minimal resolution $X_k$ of…
Conditions for the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics and central K\"ahler metrics [MS] along with examples, both old and new, are given on classes of Lorentzian $4$-manifolds with two distinguished vector fields. The results utilize…
We consider compact and connected Abelian group $G$ with a linearly ordered dual. Based on the description of the structure of compact Hankel operators over $G$, generalizations of the classical Kronecker, Hartman, Peller and…
Using conformal coordinates associated with projective conformal relativity we obtain a conformal Klein-Gordon partial differential equation. As a particular case we present and discuss a conformal `radial' d'Alembert-like equation. As a…
We construct D_k asymptotically locally flat gravitational instantons as moduli spaces of solutions of Nahm equations. This allows us to find their twistor spaces and Kahler potentials.
The moduli space of instantons on an ALE space is studied using the moduli space of $\mathcal{N}=4$ field theories in three dimensions. For instantons in a simple gauge group $G$ on $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_n$, the Hilbert series of such an…
I present an approach to gravity in which the spacetime metric is constructed from a non-Abelian gauge potential with values in the Lie algebra of the group U(2) (or the Lie algebra of quaternions). If the curvature of this potential…
This is an expository article, closely following the author's lecture at the 2014 Journal Differential Geometry conference.
We provide examples of infinitesimally Hilbertian, rectifiable, Ahlfors regular metric measure spaces having pmGH-tangents that are not infinitesimally Hilbertian.
