Using the language of vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and vector-valued modular forms we study the modular group representations and spaces of 1-point functions associated to intertwining operators for Virasoro minimal model VOAs. We…

We generalise gauge theory on a graph so that the gauge group becomes a finite-dimensional ribbon Hopf algebra, the graph becomes a ribbon graph, and gauge-theoretic concepts such as connections, gauge transformations and observables are…

In this paper, we introduce an analog of Gauss sums over function fields in positive characteristic. We establish several fundamental properties, including reflection formula, Stickelberger's theorem, and Hasse-Davenport relations. In…

Using the equivalence between Scherk-Schwarz reductions and twisted tori compactifications, we discuss the effective theories obtained by this procedure from M-theory and N =4 type II orientifold constructions with Neveu-Schwarz and…

A ring $R$ with center $C$ is said to be \textit{centrally essential} if the module $R_C$ is an essential extension of the module $C_C$. In the paper, we study groups whose group algebras over fields are centrally essential rings. We focus…

We give a characterization of smooth, rotation and dually epi-translation invariant valuations and use this result to obtain a new proof of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions. We also give a description of the construction of the…

For a smooth irreducible affine algebraic variety we study a class of gauge modules admitting compatible actions of both the algebra $A$ of functions and the Lie algebra $\mathcal{V}$ of vector fields on the variety. We prove that a gauge…

We apply the filtered and graded methods developed in earlier works to find (noncommutative) free group algebras in division rings. If $L$ is a Lie algebra, we denote by $U(L)$ its universal enveloping algebra. P. M. Cohn constructed a…

The gauge principle is at the heart of a good part of fundamental physics: Starting with a group G of so-called rigid symmetries of a functional defined over space-time Sigma, the original functional is extended appropriately by additional…

Let A be a comodule algebra for a finite dimensional Hopf algebra K over an algebraically closed field k, and let A^K be the subalgebra of invariants. Let Z be a central subalgebra in A, which is a domain with quotient field Q. Assume that…

Given a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and an element $\mu\in\mathfrak{g}^*$, the corresponding shift of argument subalgebra of $\text{S}(\mathfrak{g})$ is Poisson commutative. In the case where $\mu$ is regular, this subalgebra is known…

To any simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and automorphism $\sigma:\mathfrak g\to \mathfrak g$ we associate a cyclotomic Gaudin algebra. This is a large commutative subalgebra of $U(\mathfrak g)^{\otimes N}$ generated by a hierarchy of…

We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…

Let $f:A\longrightarrow B, g:A\longrightarrow C$ be ring homomorphisms and let $\mathfrak{b}$ (resp., $\mathfrak{c}$) be an ideal of $B$ (resp., $C$) satisfying $f^{-1}(\mathfrak{b})=g^{-1}(\mathfrak{c})$. Recently Kabbaj, Louartiti and…

For various series of complex semi-simple Lie algebras $\fg (t)$ equipped with irreducible representations $V(t)$, we decompose the tensor powers of $V(t)$ into irreducible factors in a uniform manner, using a tool we call {\it diagram…

The Weyl algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$ is a simple ring of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 2, which has a grading by the group of integers. We classify all $\mathbb{Z}$-graded simple rings of GK-dimension 2 and show that they…

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…

We perform an Hamiltonian reduction on a classical \cw(\cg, \ch) algebra, and prove that we get another \cw(\cg, \ch$'$) algebra, with $\ch\subset\ch'$. In the case $\cg=S\ell(n)$, the existence of a suitable gauge, called Generalized…

We study the quantization of abelian gauge theories of principal torus bundles over compact manifolds with and without boundary. It is shown that these gauge theories suffer from a Gribov ambiguity originating in the non-triviality of the…
