The notion of "N = 2 vertex superalgebra with two odd formal variables" is presented, the main axiom being a Jacobi identity with odd formal variables in which an N=2 superconformal shift is incorporated into the usual Jacobi identity for a…
We analyze the N=2 superconformal field theories that arise when a pair of D3-branes probe an F-theory singularity from the perspective of the associated vertex operator algebra. We identify these vertex operator algebras for all cases; we…
In this paper, we prove two Kastler-Kalau-Walze type theorems for conformal perturbations of twisted Dirac operators and conformal perturbations of twisted signature operators on four-dimensional manifolds with (resp. without) boundary.
We advance a correspondence between the topological defect operators in Liouville and Toda conformal field theories - which we construct - and loop operators and domain wall operators in four dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories on…
We show a physical realization of the Langlands duality in correlation functions of H_3^+ WZNW model. We derive a dual version of the Stoyanovky-Riabult-Teschner (SRT) formula that relates the correlation function of the H_3^+ WZNW and the…
The duality between the Sine-Liouville conformal field theory and the two dimensional black hole is revisited by considering the two possible Sine-Liouville dressings together. We show that this choice is consistent with the structure of…
We study cocycle properties of vertex operators and present an operator representation of cocycle operators, which are attached to vertex operators to ensure the duality of amplitudes. It is shown that this analysis makes it possible to…
We begin by reviewing Zhu's theorem on modular invariance of trace functions associated to a vertex operator algebra, as well as a generalisation by the author to vertex operator superalgebras. This generalisation involves objects that we…
We study orthogonality relations for Fourier frequencies and complex exponentials in Hilbert spaces $L^2(\mu)$ with measures $\mu$ arising from iterated function systems (IFS). This includes equilibrium measures in complex dynamics.…
We study the dual descriptions recently discovered for the Seiberg-Witten theory in the presence of surface operators. The Nekrasov partition function for a four-dimensional N=2 gauge theory with a surface operator is believed equal to the…
When the backward shift operator on a weighted space $H^2_w=\{f=\sum_{j=0} ^{\infty} a_jz^j : \sum_{j=0}^{\infty} |a_j|^2w_j < \infty\}$ is an $n$-hypercontraction, we prove that the weights must satisfy the inequality $$\frac{w_{j+1}}{w_j}…
Given any vertex operator algebra $ V $ with an automorphism $ g $, we derive a Jacobi identity for an intertwining operator $ \mathcal{Y} $ of type $ \left( \begin{smallmatrix} W_3\\ W_1 \, W_2 \end{smallmatrix}\right) $ when $ W_1 $ is an…
We consider here operators which are sum of (possibly) fractional derivatives, with (possibly different) order. The main constructive assumption is that the operator is of order~$2$ in one variable. By constructing an explicit barrier, we…
We study superdifferential operators of order $2n+1$ which are covariant with respect to superconformal changes of coordinates on a compact super Riemann surface. We show that all such operators arise from super M\"obius covariant ones. A…
We investigate the spectral properties of the maximal operator $A$ associated with a differential expression $\frac 1 w(-\frac d {dx}(p\frac d {dx}) + q)$ with real-valued periodic coefficients $w$, $p$ and $q$ where $w$ changes sign. It…
In one dimension, the exponential position operators introduced in a theory of polarization are identified with the twisting operators appearing in the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis argument, and their finite-size expectation values $z_L$ measure the…
Using Hankel operators and shift-invariant subspaces on Hilbert space, this paper develops the theory of the operators associated with soft and hard edges of eigenvalue distributions of random matrices. Tracy and Widom introduced a…
We study a class of left-invertible operators which we call weakly concave operators. It includes the class of concave operators and some subclasses of expansive strict $m$-isometries with $m > 2$. We prove a Wold-type decomposition for…
We show that operator growth in large-central-charge conformal field theories with $\mathcal{W}_3$ symmetry can violate the universal operator growth hypothesis once the Liouvillian is enlarged to probe the higher-spin generators. For the…
In this paper, we define differential graded vertex operator algebras and the algebraic structures on the associated Zhu algebras and $C_2$-algebras. We also introduce the corresponding notions of modules, and investigate the relations…
