A homotopy Gerstenhaber structure on a differential graded algebra is essentially a family of operations defining a multiplication on its bar construction. We prove that the normalized singular cochain algebra of a Davis-Januszkiewicz space…

We consider exactly solvable models in (3+1)d whose ground states are described by topological lattice gauge theories. Using simplicial arguments, we emphasize how the consistency condition of the unitary map performing a local change of…

We examine the five-dimensional super-de Rham complex with $N = 1$ supersymmetry. The elements of this complex are presented explicitly and related to those of the six-dimensional complex in $N = (1, 0)$ superspace through a specific notion…

We translate the concept of restriction of an arrangement in terms of Hopf algebras. In consequence, every Nichols algebra gives rise to a simplicial complex decorated by Nichols algebras with restricted root systems. As applications, some…

In the article, a series of neigbourly polyhedra is constructed. They have $N=2d+4$ vertices and are embedded in $\mathbb R^{2d}$. Their (affine) Gale diagrams in $\mathbb R^2$ have $d+3$ black points that form a convex polygon. These Gale…

Inspired by Coxeter's notion of Petrie polygon for $d$-polytopes (see \cite{Cox73}), we consider a generalization of the notion of zigzag circuits on complexes and compute the zigzag structure for several interesting families of…

A new family of higher spin algebras that arises upon restricting matrix extensions of $\mathfrak{shs}[\lambda]$ is found. We identify coset CFTs realising these symmetry algebras, and thus propose new higher spin-CFT dual pairs. These…

With every family of finitely many subsets of a finite-dimensional vector space over the Galois-field with two elements we associate a cyclic transversal polytope. It turns out that those polytopes generalize several well-known polytopes…

This is the second in a series of papers laying the foundations for a differential graded approach to derived differential geometry (and other geometries in characteristic zero). In this paper, we extend the classical notion of a dg-algebra…

Given a double vector bundle $D\to M$, we define a bigraded `Weil algebra' $\mathcal{W}(D)$, which `realizes' the algebra of smooth functions on the supermanifold $D[1,1]$. We describe in detail the relations between the Weil algebras of…

This is a note on the classical Waring's problem for several homogeneous forms. For positive integers (n,d,r,s), fix a general r-dimensional subspace of degree d forms in n+1 variables. We describe the family of s-sided polar polyhedra of…

We derive sufficient conditions under which the ``second'' Hamiltonian structure of a class of generalized KdV-hierarchies defines one of the classical $\cal W$-algebras obtained through Drinfel'd-Sokolov Hamiltonian reduction. These…

Using the geometry of the associated Calogero-Moser space, R. Rouquier and the author have attached to any finite complex reflection group $W$ several notions (Calogero-Moser left, right or two-sided cells, Calogero-Moser cellular…

Let K be a simplicial complex with vertex set V = {v_1,..., v_n}. The complex K is d-representable if there is a collection {C_1,...,C_n} of convex sets in R^d such that a subcollection {C_{i_1},...,C_{i_j}} has a nonempty intersection if…

We generalize the concept of stack one dimension higher, introducing a notion of 2-stack suitable for a trihomomorphism from a 2-category equipped with a bitopology into the tricategory of bicategories. Moreover, we give a characterization…

Given any model category, or more generally any category with weak equivalences, its simplicial localization is a simplicial category which can rightfully be called the "homotopy theory" of the model category. There is a model category…

Recent developments in string theory suggest that there might exist extra spatial dimensions, which are not small nor compact. The framework of most brane cosmological models is that in which the matter fields are confined on a brane-world…

There are many instances such that deformation space of the homology class of an algebraic cycle as a Hodge cycle is larger than its deformation space as algebraic cycle. This phenomena can occur for algebraic cycles inside hypersurfaces,…

Given a $2k$-dimensional symplectic space $(Z,F)$ in $N$ variables, $1 < 2k \leq N$, over a global field $K$, we prove the existence of a symplectic basis for $(Z,F)$ of bounded height. This can be viewed as a version of Siegel's lemma for…

In this paper, we give a general axiomatization of anomalies in closed and open conformal field theories. In particular, we generalize Segal's notion of modular functor to a setting where the ``set of labels'' is a 2-vector space. In the…
