Recent advances are being discussed on the calculation, within the conformal field theory approach, of the correlation functions for local operators in the theory of 2D gravity coupled to the minimal models of matter.
Gauge theories in the presence of codimension two vortex defects are known to be related to the theories on orbifolds. By using this relation we study the localized path integrals of 2D N=(2,2) SUSY gauge theories with point-like vortex…
We derive a number of local identities of arbitrary rank involving Jacobi elliptic functions and use them to obtain several new results. First, we present an alternative, simpler derivation of the cyclic identities discovered by us…
We investigate the relationship between the algebra of tensor categories and the topology of framed 3-manifolds. On the one hand, tensor categories with certain algebraic properties determine topological invariants. We prove that fusion…
Let G be the group of points of a quasi-split reductive algebraic group over a local field F. It follows from the local Langlands conjectures that to every non-trivial additive character of F and every representation of the Langlands dual…
We solve the $K$-theoretically refined Donaldson-Thomas theory of local curves. Our results avoid degeneration techniques, but rather exploit direct localisation methods to reduce the refined Donaldson-Thomas partition function to the…
We study the local functor of points (which we call the Weil-Berezin functor) for smooth supermanifolds, providing a characterization, representability theorems and applications to differential calculus.
Normal elements (or multipliers) of the C* algebra of a certain class of locally compact groupoids admit a natural faithful representation as normal operators on the $L^2$-space of a dense orbit of the groupoid. We prove norm estimates on…
The purpose of this paper has twofold. The first is to establish a second main theorem with truncated counting functions for algebraically nondegenerate meromorphic mappings into an arbitrary projective variety intersecting a family of…
Some of the most interesting quantities associated with a factor graph are its marginals and its partition sum. For factor graphs \emph{without cycles} and moderate message update complexities, the sum-product algorithm (SPA) can be used to…
Reshetikhin-Turaev (a.k.a. Chern-Simons) TQFT is a functor that associates vector spaces to two-dimensional genus g surfaces and linear operators to automorphisms of surfaces. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that there exists a…
We apply the bar construction to the nerve of a double Lie groupoid to obtain a local Lie 2-groupoid. As an application, we recover Haefliger's fundamental groupoid from the fundamental double groupoid of a Lie groupoid. In the case of a…
A general two dimensional fractional supersymmetric conformal field theory is investigated. The structure of the symmetries of the theory is studied. Then, applying the generators of the closed subalgebra generated by $(L_{-1}, L_{0},…
In this paper we showed that under two assumptions we are able to define interesting functions that we call generalized local coefficients. We showed that in the quasi-split case generalized local coefficients are up to a positive constant…
We introduce the notion of two-sided Ehresmann semigroupoids and show that they are in correspondence with a specific class of categories, which we call local biordered Ehresmann categories. This correspondence provides a unified…
For smooth finite dimensional manifolds, we characterise gerbes with connection as functors on a certain surface cobordism category. This allows us to relate gerbes with connection to Turaev's 1+1-dimensional homotopy quantum field…
In this partly expository paper we discuss conditions for the global injectivity of $C^2$ semi-algebraic local diffeomorphisms $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$. In case $n > 2$, we consider the foliations of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by the…
Through the subsequent discussion we consider a certain particular sort of (topological) algebras, which may substitute the `` structure sheaf algebras'' in many--in point of fact, in all--the situations of a geometrical character that…
Motivated by topological quantum field theory, we investigate the geometric aspects of unitary 2-representations of finite groups on 2-Hilbert spaces, and their 2-characters. We show how the basic ideas of geometric quantization are…
We upgrade the classical operation of \textit{isomonodromic deformations} along a path $\gamma$ to a functor $\mathbb{P}_{\gamma}$ between categories of flat connections with logarithmic singularities along a divisor $D$, which itself…
