We propose a Lagrangian for the low-energy theory that resides at the (1+1)-dimensional intersection of N semi-infinite M2-branes ending orthogonally on M M5-branes in ${\mathbb R}^{1,2} \times {\mathbb C}^4/{\mathbb Z}_k$ (for arbitrary…

This paper studies nonlinear deformations of the linear gauge theory of any number of spin-2 and spin-3/2 fields with general formal multiplication rules in place of standard Grassmann rules for manipulating the fields, in four spacetime…

A geometric description is given for the Sp(2) covariant version of the field-antifield quantization of general constrained systems in the Lagrangian formalism. We develop differential geometry on manifolds in which a basic set of…

We study the global symmetries of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-orbifold of N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory and its marginal deformations. The process of orbifolding to obtain an N=2 theory would appear to break the $\mathrm{SU}(4)$ R-symmetry down to…

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…

We extend the Abreu-Guillemin theory of invariant K\"ahler metrics from toric symplectic manifolds to any symplectic manifold admitting a toric action of a symplectic torus bundle. We show that these are precisely the symplectic manifolds…

Mirror Symmetry for a large class of three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories has a natural explanation in terms of M-theory compactified on a product of $\text{ALE}$ spaces. A pair of such mirror duals can be…

We consider the space $\mathcal{M}$ of Euclidean similarity classes of framed loops in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Framed loop space is shown to be an infinite-dimensional K\"{a}hler manifold by identifying it with a complex Grassmannian. We show that…

Let $ K$ be a field admitting a Galois extension $L$ of degree $n$, denoting the Galois group as $G = \gal(L/K)$. Our focus lies on the space $\sym_K(L)$ of symmetric $K$-bilinear forms on $L$. We establish a decomposition of $\sym_K(L)$…
