We generalise the notion of the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface with a section to the Tate-Shafarevich group of a K3 surface endowed with a linear system. The construction, which uses Grothendieck's special Brauer group,…
We study the loop spaces of the symmetric powers of an orbifold and use our results to define equivariant power operations in Tate K-theory. We prove that these power operations are elliptic and that the Witten genus is an H_oo map. As a…
We probe the existence of supersymmetric vacua of the type IIB orientifold of the elliptic Calabi-Yau space P_{11169}[18] where generically two complex structure moduli z_i, the dilaton tau and the two K\"ahler moduli T_i are stabilized by…
The Remodeling Conjecture proposed by Bouchard-Klemm-Mari\~{n}o-Pasquetti (BKMP) [arXiv:0709.1453, arXiv:0807.0597] relates the A-model open and closed topological string amplitudes (the all genus open and closed Gromov-Witten invariants)…
We first propose a generalization of the image conjecture [Z3] for the commuting differential operators related with classical orthogonal polynomials. We then show that the non-trivial case of this generalized image conjecture is equivalent…
In this paper, by combining modularity of the Witten genus and the modular forms constructed by Liu and Wang, we establish mod 3 congruence properties of certain twisted signatures of 24 dimensional string manifolds.
Exploration of the impact of synthetic material landscapes featuring tunable geometrical properties on physical processes is a research direction that is currently of great interest because of the outstanding phenomena that are continually…
This is a historical talk about the recent confluence of two lines of research in equivariant elliptic cohomology, one concerned with connected Lie groups, the other with the finite case. These themes come together in (what seems to me…
A generalisation of discrete torsion is introduced in which different discrete torsion phases are considered for the different fixed points or twist fields of a twisted sector. The constraints that arise from modular invariance are analysed…
We consider a class of quasi-Hopf algebras which we call \emph{generalized twisted quantum doubles}. They are abelian extensions $H = \mb{C}[\bar{G}] \bowtie \mb{C}[G]$ ($G$ is a finite group and $\bar{G}$ a homomorphic image), possibly…
Moir\'e patterns are a central motif in van der Waals heterostructures arising from the superposition of two-dimensional (2D) incommensurate lattices. These patterns reveal a wealth of correlated effects, influencing electronic, magnetic,…
We study the relationship between the twisted Orbifold K-theories ${^{\alpha}}K_{orb}(\textsl{X})$ and ${^{\alpha'}}K_{orb}(\textsl{Y})$ for two different twists $\alpha\in Z^3(G;S^1)$ and $\alpha'\in Z^3(G';S^1)$ of the Orbifolds…
Special conformal field theories can have symmetry groups which are interesting sporadic finite simple groups. Famous examples include the Monster symmetry group of a $c=24$ two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) constructed by…
We show that the usual Hodge conjecture implies the general Hodge conjecture for certain abelian varieties of type III, and use this to deduce the general Hodge conjecture for all powers of certain 4-dimensional abelian varieties of type…
Transversally K\"ahler foliations are a generalisation of K\"ahler manifolds, appearing naturally in the complex non-K\"ahler setting. We give a self-contained proof of how the classical methods used in the proof of the Aubin-Yau theorem…
A taut ideal triangulation of a 3-manifold is a topological ideal triangulation with extra combinatorial structure: a choice of transverse orientation on each ideal 2-simplex, satisfying two simple conditions. The aim of this paper is to…
We establish Bernstein-type theorems for entire constant mean curvature graphs in the three-dimensional light cone $\mathbb{Q}^3_+$ over the horosphere under the assumption that the Gaussian curvature $K$ is bounded below, by showing that…
The Yau-Zaslow conjecture determines the reduced genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of K3 surfaces in terms of the Dedekind eta function. Classical intersections of curves in the moduli of K3 surfaces with Noether-Lefschetz divisors are…
A conjecture expressing genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants in mirror-theoretic terms of semi-simple Frobenius structures and complex oscillating integrals is formulated. The proof of the conjecture is given for torus-equivariant Gromov -…
Given a $K3$ surface, a supersymmetric non-linear K3 sigma model is the internal superconformal field theory (SCFT) in a six dimensional compactification of type IIA superstring on $\mathbb{R}^{1,5} \times K3$. These models have attracted…
