Let $A$ be an Azumaya algebra over a field. If $G$ is the group of automorphisms of $A$ and $X$ denotes a projective homogeneous variety under $G$, we construct in a very explicit way and under suitable hypotheses a bundle $\mathcal{V}$ on…

Let X be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus at least 3. Fix a line bundle L on X. Let M_{Sp}(L) be the moduli space of symplectic bundles (E, ExE ---> L) on X, with the symplectic form taking values in L. We show that…

Given any connected topological space $X$, assume that there exists an epimorphism $\phi: \pi_1(X) \to \mathbb{Z}$. The deck transformation group $\mathbb{Z}$ acts on the associated infinite cyclic cover $X^\phi$ of $X$, hence on the…

The structure space S(M) of a closed topological m-manifold M classifies bundles whose fibers are closed m-manifolds equipped with a homotopy equivalence to M. We construct a highly connected map from S(M) to a concoction of algebraic…

Many physical theories, including notably string theory, require non-abelian higher gauge fields defining higher holonomy. Previous approaches to such higher connections on categorified principal bundles require these to be fake flat. This…

We summarize the global geometric formulation of Einstein-Scalar-Maxwell theories twisted by flat symplectic vector bundle which encodes the duality structure of the theory. We describe the scalar-electromagnetic symmetry group of such…

We discuss the relationship between (co)homology groups and categorical diagonalization. We consider the category of chain complexes in the category of finitely generated free modules on a commutative ring. For a fixed chain complex with…

Let X be a complex analytic space. A short analytic arc is a holomorphic map of the closed unit disc to X such that only the origin is mapped to a singular point. In contrast with the space of formal arcs studied by Nash, the moduli space…

In this note we define Chern-Simons classes of a superconnection $D+L$ on a complex supervector bundle $E$ such that $D$ is flat and preserves the grading, and $L$ is an odd endomorphism of $E$ on a supermanifold. As an application we…

Using tools from the theory of Lie groupoids, we study the category of logarithmic flat connections on principal $G$-bundles, where $G$ is a complex reductive structure group. Flat connections on the affine line with a logarithmic…

For a $\Gamma$--equivariant holomorphic Lie algebroid $(V,\, \phi)$, on a compact Riemann surface $X$ equipped with an action of a finite group $\Gamma$, we investigate the equivariant holomorphic Lie algebroid connections on holomorphic…

We study the limit as $N\to\infty$ of the correlations between simultaneous zeros of random sections of the powers $L^N$ of a positive holomorphic line bundle $L$ over a compact complex manifold $M$, when distances are rescaled so that the…

Given any topological group $G$, the topological classification of principal $G$-bundles over a finite CW-complex $X$ is long-known to be given by the set of free homotopy classes of maps from $X$ to the corresponding classifying space…

We study infinitesimal deformations of autodual and hyper-holomorphic connections on complex vector bundles on hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of arbitrary dimension. In particular, we describe the DG Lie algebra controlling this deformation…

A notion of unique ergodicity relative to the fixed-point subalgebra is defined for automorphisms of unital C*-algebras. It is proved that the free shift on any reduced amalgamated free product C*-algebra is uniquely ergodic relative to its…

Let $X$ be any compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 3$. For any $r\geq 2$, let $M_X$ denote the moduli space of holomorphic $SL(r,C)$-connections over $X$. It is known that the biholomorphism class of the complex variety $M_X$…
