We classify degeneration patterns of Verma modules over the N=2 superconformal algebra in two dimensions. Explicit formulae are given for singular vectors that generate maximal submodules in each of the degenerate cases. The mappings…
In a very recent preprint, Witten showed how to construct a $g|r \, \times \, g|r$ super period matrix for super Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $2r$ Ramond punctures, which is symmetric in the ${\bf Z}_2$ graded sense. He also showed…
In the perspective of homogenization theory, strain-gradient elasticity is a strategy to describe the overall behaviour of materials with coarse mesostructure. In this approach, the effect of the mesostructure is described by the use of…
The subject of this thesis is the rigorous construction of QFT models with nontrivial interaction. Two different approaches in the framework of AQFT are discussed. On the one hand, an inverse scattering problem is considered. A given…
In this thesis, I investigate how to construct a self-consistent model of deformed general relativity using canonical methods and metric variables. The specific deformation of general covariance is predicted by some studies into loop…
We examine a recently proposed class of integrable deformations to two-dimensional conformal field theories. These {\lambda}-deformations interpolate between a WZW model and the non-Abelian T-dual of a Principal Chiral Model on a group G…
Motivated by obtaining a consistent mathematical description for the radiation reaction of point charged particles in linear classical electrodynamics, a theory of generalized higher order tensors and differential forms is introduced. The…
The calculation of higher twist (or dimension) corrections to physical quantities using operator product expansions is delicate. If dimensional regularization is used to regulate the ultra-violet divergences then there are ambiguities in…
Complex geometry and supergeometry are closely entertwined in superstring perturbation theory, since perturbative superstring amplitudes are formulated in terms of supergeometry, and yet should reduce to integrals of holomorphic forms on…
Motivated by deformation quantization we investigate the algebraic GNS construction of *-representations of deformed *-algebras over ordered rings and compute their classical limit. The question if a GNS representation can be deformed leads…
We study supersymmetry constraints on higher derivative deformations of type IIB supergravity by consideration of superamplitudes. Combining constraints of on-shell supervertices and basic results from string perturbation theory, we give a…
Inspired by superstring field theory, we study differential, integral, and inverse forms and their mutual relations on a supermanifold from a sheaf-theoretical point of view. In particular, the formal distributional properties of integral…
Deformation theory is treated for locally notherian formal schemes (non necessarily smooth). The cotangent complex is defined in the derived category through the homology localization functor. The basic properties and results of a…
This paper is concerned with a link between central extensions of N=2 superconformal algebra and a supersymmetric two-component generalization of the Camassa--Holm equation. Deformations of superconformal algebra give rise to two compatible…
Using deformation theory based on BRST cohomology, a supergravity model is constructed which interpolates through a continuous deformation parameter between new minimal supergravity with an extra U(1) gauge multiplet and standard…
Conformal defects -- extended objects in conformal field theories -- carry localised excitations inherited from symmetry currents, known as the displacements and tilts. They capture the linear response of the defect to deformations of its…
We develop a generic geometric formalism that incorporates both $T\bar{T}$-like and root-$T\bar{T}$-like deformations in arbitrary dimensions. This framework applies to a wide family of stress-energy tensor perturbations and encompasses…
We analyze in detail three classes of isomondromy deformation problems associated with integrable systems. The first two are related to the scaling invariance of the $n\times n$ AKNS hierarchies and the Gel'fand-Dikii hierarchies. The third…
We show that the deformation theory of a perfect complex and that of its determinant are related by the trace map, in a general setting of sheaves on a site. The key technical step, in passing from the setting of modules over a ring where…
It is shown that the complex Bernoulli differential equations admitting the supplementary structure of a Lie-Hamilton system related to the book algebra $\mathfrak{b}_2$ can always be solved by quadratures, providing an explicit solution of…
