In the prequel to this paper, we proved that for a $SU(2,\mathbb C)$ valued loop having the critical degree of smoothness (one half of a derivative in the $L^2$ Sobolev sense), the following statements are equivalent: (1) the Toeplitz and…

In previous work we proved that for a SU(2,C) valued loop having the critical degree of smoothness (one half of a derivative in the L^2 Sobolev sense), the following are equivalent: (1) the Toeplitz and shifted Toeplitz operators associated…

We discuss a refinement of triangular factorization for loops into SU(2).

Previously we showed that a loop in a simply connected compact Lie group K has a unique triangular factorization if and only if the loop has a unique root subgroup factorization (relative to a choice of a reduced sequence of simple…

In [11] we showed that a loop in a simply connected compact Lie group $\dot{U}$ has a unique Birkhoff (or triangular) factorization if and only if the loop has a unique root subgroup factorization (relative to a choice of a reduced sequence…

We show that any element of the special linear group $SL_2(R)$ is a product of two exponentials if the ring $R$ is either the ring of holomorphic functions on an open Riemann surface or the disc algebra. This is sharp: one exponential…

This article gives matrix factorizations for the trivalent diagrams and double line appearing in $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ quantum link invariant. These matrix factorizations reconstruct Khovanov-Rozansky homology. And we show that the Euler…

The covariantization procedure is usually referred to the translation operator, that is the derivative. Here we introduce a general method to covariantize arbitrary differential operators, such as the ones defining the fundamental group of…

We demonstrate a method for general linear optical networks that allows one to factorize any SU($n$) matrix in terms of two SU($n-1)$ blocks coupled by an SU(2) entangling beam splitter. The process can be recursively continued in an…

A new concept of meromorphic $\Sigma$-factorization, for H\"{o}lder continuous functions defined on a contour $\Gamma$ that is the pullback of $\dot{\mathbb{R}}$ (or the unit circle) in a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ of genus 1, is introduced…

We consider the compactification M(atrix) theory on a Riemann surface Sigma of genus g>1. A natural generalization of the case of the torus leads to construct a projective unitary representation of pi_1(\Sigma), realized on the Hilbert…

We establish recurrences formulas of the order of the classical groups that allow us to find a generalization of Euler's angles for classical groups and the invariant measures of these groups. We find the generating function for the SU(2)…

Let $(S,\mathfrak n)$ be a regular local ring and $f$ a non-zero element of $\mathfrak n^2$. A theorem due to Kn\"orrer states that there are finitely many isomorphism classes of maximal Cohen-Macaulay $R=S/(f)$-modules if and only if the…

We prove a multiplicity formula for Riemann-Roch numbers of reductions of Hamiltonian actions of loop groups. This includes as a special case the factorization formula for the quantum dimension of the moduli space of flat connections over a…

Given an element $f$ in a regular local ring, we study matrix factorizations of $f$ with $d \ge 2$ factors, that is, we study tuples of square matrices $(\varphi_1,\varphi_2,\dots,\varphi_d)$ such that their product is $f$ times an identity…

We study factorizations of rational matrix functions with simple poles on the Riemann sphere. For the quadratic case (two poles) we show, using multiplicative representations of such matrix functions, that a good coordinate system on this…

The 1-d Schrodinger flow on 2-sphere, the Gauss-Codazzi equation for flat Lagrangian submanifolds in C^n, and the space-time monopole equation are all examples of geometric soliton equations. The linear systems with a spectral parameter…

We study Wilson-'t Hooft loop operators in a class of N=2 superconformal field theories recently introduced by Gaiotto. In the case that the gauge group is a product of SU(2) groups, we classify all possible loop operators in terms of their…

We prove a Riemann-Roch theorem of an entirely novel nature for divisors on the Arakelov compactification of the algebraic spectrum of the integers. This result relies on the introduction of three key concepts: the cohomologies (attached to…

We compactify M(atrix) theory on Riemann surfaces Sigma with genus g>1. Following [1], we construct a projective unitary representation of pi_1(Sigma) realized on L^2(H), with H the upper half-plane. As a first step we introduce a suitably…
