We construct the Green-Schwarz terms of six-dimensional supergravity theories on spacetimes with non-trivial topology and gauge bundle. We prove the cancellation of all global gauge and gravitational anomalies for theories with gauge groups…

Let $G$ be a group and $A\subseteq [1,\exp(G)-1]$. We define the constant ${\sf C}_A(G),$ which is the least positive integer $\ell$ such that every sequence over $G$ of length at least $\ell$ has an $A$-weighted consecutive product-one…

We prove that for each locally $\alpha$-presentable category $\mathcal K$ there exists a regular cardinal $\gamma$ such that any $\alpha$-accessible functor out of $\mathcal K$ (into another locally $\alpha$-presentable category) is…

Complete filtered $A_\infty$-algebras model certain deformation problems in the noncommutative setting. The formal deformation theory of a group representation is a classical example. With such applications in mind, we provide the…

A generalization of the Davenport constant is investigated. For a finite abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $k$, let $D_k(G)$ denote the smallest $\ell$ such that each sequence over $G$ of length at least $\ell$ has $k$ disjoint…

Given discrete groups $\Gamma \subset \Delta$ we characterize $(\Gamma,\sigma)$-invariant spaces that are also invariant under $\Delta$. This will be done in terms of subspaces that we define using an appropriate Zak transform and a…

We consider two families of weighted zero-sum constants for finite abelian groups. For a finite abelian group $( G , + )$, a set of weights $W \subset \mathbb{Z}$, and an integral parameter $m$, the $m$-wise Davenport constant with weights…

We study the causality relation in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS and its conformal boundary Ein. To any closed achronal subset $\Lambda$ in ${Ein}\_2$ we associate the invisible domain $E(\Lambda)$ from $\Lambda$ in AdS. We…

We construct equivariant $KK$-theory with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ as suitable inductive limits over ${\rm II}_1$-factors. We show that the Kasparov product, together with its usual functorial properties,…

Let $G$ be a finite abeilian group. A sequence $S$ with terms from $G$ is zero-sum if the sum of terms in $S$ equals zero. It is a minimal zero-sum sequence if no proper, nontrivial subsequence is zero-sum. The maximal length of a minimal…

We reformulate and motivate AKSZ-type topological field theories in pedestrian terms, explaining how they arise as the most general Schwartz-type topological actions subject to a simple constraint, and how they generalize Chern$-$Simons…

We provide a survey of results concerning both the direct and inverse problems to the Cauchy-Davenport theorem and Erdos-Heilbronn problem in Additive Combinatorics. We prove a slight extension to an inverse theorem of Dias da…

We prove that the alternating group of a topologically free action of a countably infinite group $\Gamma$ on the Cantor set has the property that all of its $\ell^2$-Betti numbers vanish and, in the case that $\Gamma$ is amenable, is stable…

We develop the geometric and homological framework for non-commutative $n$-ary $\Gamma$-semirings by constructing a sheaf and derived theory over their non-commutative $\Gamma$-spectrum. Starting with a non-commutative $n$-ary…
