We prove that the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involutions are unirational. As a by-product we describe configuration spaces of 4<d<9 points in the projective plane as arithmetic quotients of type IV.

The cohomology of the configuration space of n points in R^3 admits a symmetric group action and has been shown to be isomorphic to the regular representation. One way to prove this is by defining an S^1-action whose fixed point set is the…

We present an encompassing treatment of D-brane charges in supersymmetric SO(3) WZW models. There are two distinct supersymmetric CFTs at each even level: the standard bosonic SO(3) modular invariant tensored with free fermions, as well as…

Supersymmetric D-branes supported on the complex two-dimensional base $S$ of the local Calabi-Yau threefold $K_S$ are described by semi-stable coherent sheaves on $S$. Under suitable conditions, the BPS indices counting these objects (known…

We investigate the interplay between the moduli spaces of ample <2>-polarized IHS manifolds of type K3^[2] and of IHS manifolds of type K3^[2] with a nonsymplectic involution with invariant lattice of rank one. In particular we…

Let $V$ be a $6$-dimensional complex vector space with an involution $\sigma$ of trace $0$, and let $W \subset \Sym^2 V^\vee$ be a generic $3$-dimensional subspace of $\sigma$-invariant quadratic forms. To these data we can associate an…

Let $S$ be a K3 surface and let $E$ be an elliptic curve. We solve the reduced Gromov-Witten theory of the Calabi-Yau threefold $S \times E$ for all curve classes which are primitive in the K3 factor. In particular, we deduce the Igusa cusp…

We generalize the $F_K$ invariant, i.e. $\widehat{Z}$ for the complement of a knot $K$ in the 3-sphere, the knots-quivers correspondence, and $A$-polynomials of knots, and find several interconnections between them. We associate an $F_K$…

We exhibit a set of recursive relations that completely determine all equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of the quotient orbifold C^3/Z_3. We interpret such invariants as G-Hodge Integrals, and produce relations among them via Atiyah-Bott…

We consider evolution equations for curves in the 3-dimensional sphere $S^3$ that are invariant under the group $SU(2,1)$ of pseudoconformal transformations, which preserves the standard contact structure on the sphere. In particular, we…

We study D-modules and related invariants on the space of 2 x 2 x n hypermatrices for n >= 3, which has finitely many orbits under the action of G = GL_2 x GL_2 x GL_n. We describe the category of coherent G-equivariant D-modules as the…

The paper is another step towards a realisation of the goal, advanced in articles 1706.05682 [hep-th] and 1808.04470 [hep-th], of a systematic supersymmetry-equivariant geometrisation of physically distinguished Green-Schwarz…

String-string duality dictates that type IIA strings compactified on a K3 surface acquire non-abelian gauge groups for certain values of the K3 moduli. We argue that, contrary to expectation, the theories for which such enhanced gauge…
