We introduce the notion of vertex operator superalgebra with enhanced conformal structure, which is a refinement of the notion of vertex operator superalgebra. We exhibit several examples, including a particular one which is self-dual, and…

We investigate exceptional sheaves on the Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_2$, as the first attempt toward the classification of exceptional objects on weak del Pezzo surfaces.

We determine the order of the largest of the twenty-six sporadic simple groups known as the Monster, using a straightforward computational approach. The Monster is here defined as a subgroup of the symmetry group of the 196884-dimensional…

We generate by computer a basis of invariants for the fundamental representations of the exceptional Lie groups E(6) and E(7), up to degree 18. We discuss the relevance of this calculation for the study of supersymmetric gauge theories, and…

In this note we study exceptional algebroids, focusing on their relation to type IIB superstring theory. We show that a IIB-exact exceptional algebroid (corresponding to the group $E_{n(n)}\times \mathbb{R}^+$, for $n\le 6$) locally has a…

A conjecture of Bondal-Polishchuk states that, in particular for the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety, the action of the braid group on full exceptional collections is transitive up to shifts. We…

We obtain new bounds, pointwisely and on average, for Dedekind sums $\mathsf{s}(\lambda,p)$ modulo a prime $p$ with $\lambda$ of small multiplicative order $d$ modulo $p$. Assuming the infinitude of Mersenne primes, the range of our results…

Reductive W-algebras which are generated by bosonic fields of spin-1, a single spin-2 field and fermionic fields of spin-3/2 are classified. Three new cases are found: a `symplectic' family of superconformal algebras which are extended by…

We present a family of conformal field theories (or candidates for CFTs) that is build on extremal partition functions. Spectra of these theories can be decomposed into the irreducible representations of the Fischer-Griess Monster sporadic…

Given a complex simply connected simple algebraic group $G$ of exceptional type and a maximal parabolic subgroup $P \subset G$, we classify all triples $(G,P,H)$ such that $H \subset G$ is a maximal reductive subgroup acting spherically on…

We study special Lagrangian cones in $\C^n$ with isolated singularities. Our main result constructs an infinite family of special Lagrangian cones in $\C^3$ each of which has a toroidal link. We obtain a detailed geometric description of…

In recent literature, moonshine has been explored for some groups beyond the Monster, for example the sporadic O'Nan and Thompson groups. This collection of examples may suggest that moonshine is a rare phenomenon, but a fundamental and…

We study general properties of the dessins d'enfants associated with the Hecke congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$ of the modular group $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The definition of the $\Gamma_0(N)$ as the stabilisers of couples of…

Let $G$ be a linear split algebraic group. The degenerate Eisenstein series associated to a maximal parabolic subgroup $E_{P}(f^{0},s,g)$ with the spherical section $f^{0}$ is studied in the first part of the thesis. In this part, we study…

In this note, we show that the exceptional algebraic set of an infinite discrete group in $PSL(3,\Bbb{C})$ should be a finite union of complex lines, copies of the Veronese curve or copies of the cubic $xy^2-z^3$.

The paper investigates a significant part of the automorphic, in fact of the so-called Eisenstein cohomology of split odd orthogonal groups over Q. The main result provides a description of residual and regular Eisenstein cohomology classes…

A strong Gelfand pair $(G, H)$ is a finite group $G$ and a subgroup $H$ where every irreducible character of $H$ induces to a multiplicity-free character of $G$. We determine the strong Gelfand pairs of the sporadic groups, their…

Let $\mathbb{M}$ be the Monster finite simple group. We give an interpretation of certain discrete symmetries of a family of heterotic string compactifications to $1 + 1$ dimensions in terms of discrete symmetries of the Monster Lie algebra…

In this paper we examine embeddings of alternating groups and symmetric groups into almost simple groups of exceptional type. In particular, we prove that unless the alternating or symmetric group has degree 6 or 7, there is no maximal…
