Let $X$ be a quasi-projective curve, compactified to $(Y,D)$ with $X=Y-D$. We construct a Deligne-Hitchin twistor space out of moduli spaces of framed $\lambda$-connections of rank $2$ over $Y$ with logarithmic singularities and…
We establish direct connections at several levels between quantum groups and supergroups associated to bar-consistent super Cartan datum by constructing an automorphism (called twistor) in the setting of covering quantum groups. The…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the sum of twisted traces of self-dual or conjugate self-dual discrete automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ for the level aspect of principal congruence subgroups under some…
A simple mechanical system, the three-dimensional isotropic rigid rotator, is here investigated as a 0+1 field theory, aiming at further investigating the relation between Generalized/Double Geometry on the one hand and Doubled World-Sheet…
Massless conformal scalar field in d=4 corresponds to the minimal unitary representation (minrep) of the conformal group SU(2,2) which admits a one-parameter family of deformations that describe massless fields of arbitrary helicity. The…
In this note we present preliminary study on the relation between the quantum entanglement of boundary states and the quantum geometry in the bulk in the framework of spin networks. We conjecture that the emergence of space with non-zero…
The two-twistor formulation of particle mechanics in D-dimensional anti-de Sitter space for D=4,5,7, which linearises invariance under the AdS isometry group Sp(4;K) for K=R,C,H, is generalized to the massless N-extended "spinning…
This article discusses the twisted adjoint action $\mathrm{Ad}_{g}^{\kappa}:G\rightarrow G$, $x\mapsto gx\kappa(g^{-1})$ given by a Dynkin diagram automorphism $\kappa\in\mathrm{Aut}(G)$, where $G$ is compact, connected, simply connected…
Non-perturbative approaches to quantum gravity call for a deep understanding of the emergence of geometry and locality from the quantum state of the gravitational field. Without background geometry, the notion of distance should entirely…
Symmetry is fundamental to topological phases. In the presence of a gauge field, spatial symmetries will be projectively represented, which may alter their algebraic structure and generate novel topological phases. We show that the…
Taking Euclidean signature space-time with its local Spin(4)=SU(2)xSU(2) group of space-time symmetries as fundamental, one can consistently gauge one SU(2) factor to get a chiral spin connection formulation of general relativity, the other…
For any 4D split-signature conformal structure, there is an induced twistor distribution on the 5D space of all self-dual totally null 2-planes, which is $(2,3,5)$ when the conformal structure is not anti-self-dual. Several examples where…
We introduce the set of framed convex polyhedra with N faces as the symplectic quotient C^2N//SU(2). A framed polyhedron is then parametrized by N spinors living in C^2 satisfying suitable closure constraints and defines a usual convex…
We perform a comprehensive study of a certain class of discrete symmetries of families of Feynman integrals, defined as affine changes of variables that map different sectors of the family into each other. We show that these transformations…
We propose a general procedure to construct noncommutative deformations of an embedded submanifold $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ determined by a set of smooth equations $f^a(x)=0$. We use the framework of Drinfel'd twist deformation of differential…
The Hamiltoinian analysis of the vector-tensor theory of gravity is performed. The resulting geometrical dynamics is reformulated into the connection dynamics, with the real SU(2)-connection serving as one of the configuration variables.…
This paper is to study what we call twisted regular representations for vertex operator algebras. Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra, let $\sigma_1,\sigma_2$ be commuting finite-order automorphisms of $V$ and let…
We study the quantum matrix algebra $R_{21}x_1x_2=x_2x_1 R$ and for the standard $2\times 2$ case propose it for the co-ordinates of $q$-deformed Euclidean space. The algebra in this simplest case is isomorphic to the usual quantum matrices…
Four-dimensional twisted group lattices are used as models for space-time structure. Compared to other attempts at space-time deformation, they have two main advantages: They have a physical interpretation and there is no difficulty in…
In this article we propose a new geometrization of the radiative phase space of asymptotically flat space-times: we show that the geometry induced on null-infinity by the presence of gravitational waves can be understood to be a…
