This is the second in a sequence of three articles exploring the relationship between commutative algebras and $E_\infty$-algebras in characteristic $p$ and mixed characteristic. Given a topological space $X,$ we construct, in a manner…
In this paper we continue the study of representation theory of formal distribution Lie superalgebras initiated in q-alg/9706030. We study finite Verma-type conformal modules over the N=2, N=3 and the two N=4 superconformal algebras and…
We upgrade the classical operation of \textit{isomonodromic deformations} along a path $\gamma$ to a functor $\mathbb{P}_{\gamma}$ between categories of flat connections with logarithmic singularities along a divisor $D$, which itself…
We compare a couple of notions of differential form on singular complex algebraic varieties, and relate them to the outermost associated graded spaces of the Hodge filtration of ordinary and intersection cohomology. In particular, we…
In this expository article, we outline the theory of harmonic differential forms and its consequences. We provide self-contained proofs of the following important results in differential geometry: (1) Hodge theorem, which states that for a…
Real-valued differential forms on Berkovich analytic spaces were introduced by Chambert-Loir and Ducros in 'Formes diff\'erentielles r\'eelles et courants sur les espaces de Berkovich' using superforms on polyhedral complexes. We prove a…
In this paper, we develop a new approach to the deformation theory of restricted Lie-Rinehart algebras in positive characteristic, based on the deformation theory of restricted morphisms introduced in our earlier work. We provide a full…
The goal of this paper is to offer a new construction of the de Rham-Witt complex of smooth varieties over perfect fields of characteristic $p>0$. We introduce a category of cochain complexes equipped with an endomorphism $F$ of underlying…
Based on a recent extension theorem for reflexive differential forms, that is, regular differential forms defined on the smooth locus of a possibly singular variety, we study the geometry and cohomology of sheaves of reflexive…
N=2 noncritical strings are closely related to the $\Slr/\Slr$ Wess-Zumino- Novikov-Witten model, and there is much hope to further probe the former by using the algebraic apparatus provided by the latter. An important ingredient is the…
We enumerate the ends of each stratum of meromorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces with prescribed multiplicities of zeroes and poles. Our proof uses degeneration techniques based on the construction by…
We study irreducible representations for the Lie algebra of vector fields on a 2-dimensional torus constructed using the generalized Verma modules. We show that for a certain choice of parameters these representations remain irreducible…
The problem of describing the singular vectors of $\cW_3$ and $\cW_3^{(2)}$ Verma modules is addressed, viewing these algebras as BRST quantized Drinfeld-Sokolov (DS) reductions of $A^{(1)}_2\,$. Singular vectors of an $A^{(1)}_2\,$ Verma…
Xu introduced a system of partial differential equations to investigate singular vectors in the Verma modules of highest weight $\lambda$ over $\mathfrak{sl}(n,\mathbb{C})$. He proved that the solution space of this system in the space of…
We show that the Poincar\'e lemma we proved elsewhere in the context of crystalline cohomology of higher level behaves well with regard to the Hodge filtration. This allows us to prove the Poincar\'e lemma for transversal crystals of level…
We study de Rham cohomology for various differential calculi on finite groups G up to order 8. These include the permutation group S_3, the dihedral group D_4 and the quaternion group Q. Poincare' duality holds in every case, and under some…
We initiate a new study of differential operators with symmetries and combine this with the study of branching laws for Verma modules of reductive Lie algebras. By the criterion for discretely decomposable and multiplicity-free restrictions…
A bi-invariant differential 2-form on a Lie group G is a highly constrained object, being determined by purely linear data: an Ad-invariant alternating bilinear form on the Lie algebra of G. On a compact connected Lie group these have an…
We prove the existence of a homomorphism of vertex algebras, from the vacuum Verma module over the loop algebra of an untwisted affine algebra, whose construction is analogous to that of the Feigin-Frenkel homomorphism from the vacuum Verma…
We approach the question of complexification of the diffeomorphism group of the circle by considering real-analytic maps from the circle into the punctured complex plane with winding number +1. Such complex deformations form an…
