We discuss quantum field theories with global $SU(N)$ and $O(N)$ symmetries for which the temporal direction is compactified on a circle of size $L$ with periodicity of fields up to a global symmetry transformation, i.e. twisted boundary…
We initiate the study of a q-deformed geometry for quantum SU(2). In contrast with the usual properties of a spectral triple, we get that only twisted commutators between algebra elements and our Dirac operator are bounded. Furthermore, the…
We present a gauged twistor model of a free massive spinning particle in four-dimensional Minkowski space. This model is governed by an action, referred to here as the gauged generalized Shirafuji (GGS) action, that consists of twistor…
Topological classification in our previous paper [K. Shiozaki and M. Sato, Phys. Rev. B ${\bf 90}$, 165114 (2014)] is extended to nonsymmorphic crystalline insulators and superconductors. Using the twisted equivariant $K$-theory, we…
This article gives a study of the higher-dimensional Penrose transform between conformally invariant massless fields on space-time and cohomology classes on twistor space, where twistor space is defined to be the space of projective pure…
We study the geometry of the (generalized) twistor triangles $\triangle J_1J_2J_3$ in the period domain of compact complex tori of complex dimension $2n$ by the means of the representation theory of the algebras (of real dimension 8)…
We introduce twisted topological correspondences, which generalize both Katsura's topological correspondences as well as the twisted topological graphs introduced by Li. We show that, up to isomorphism, they are in bijection with certain…
We propose an exactly solvable lattice Hamiltonian model of topological phases in $3+1$ dimensions, based on a generic finite group $G$ and a $4$-cocycle $\omega$ over $G$. We show that our model has topologically protected degenerate…
MHV diagrams give an efficient Feynman diagram-like formalism for calculating gauge theory scattering amplitudes on momentum space. Although they arise as the Feynman diagrams from an action on twistor space in an axial gauge, the main…
This article is an expository account of the theory of twisted commutative algebras, which simply put, can be thought of as a theory for handling commutative algebras with large groups of linear symmetries. Examples include the coordinate…
We employ the modification of the basic Penrose formula in twistor theory, which allows to introduce commuting composite space-time coordinates. It appears that in the course of such modification the internal symmetry SU(2) of two-twistor…
We provide boundary conditions for three-dimensional gravity including boosted Rindler spacetimes, representing the near-horizon geometry of non-extremal black holes or flat space cosmologies. These boundary conditions force us to make some…
We re-examine various issues surrounding the definition of twisted quantum field theories on flat noncommutative spaces. We propose an interpretation based on nonlocal commutative field redefinitions which clarifies previously observed…
We investigate the optical and quantum mechanical properties of a charged spinless particle confined in a two-dimensional quantum ring under the simultaneous influence of a spiral dislocation and an external magnetic field. The dislocation…
Twists of four-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs) isolate protected sectors with rich algebraic structures. We develop a unified framework for analyzing symmetries and anomalies in four-dimensional holomorphically…
We introduce and study twisted triangular Banach algebras T_sigma(A,B;X), built from Banach algebras A,B, a Banach A-B bimodule X, and a pair of automorphisms sigma=(sigma_A,sigma_B). This construction extends the classical triangular…
In this paper, we introduce a class of twisted multiparameter singular integrals on $\mathbb{R}^{2m}$, motivated by the Cauchy--Szeg\H{o} projections and the solving operators for $\bar{\partial}_b$ on a broad family of quadratic surfaces…
We apply the twisted order parameter (TOP) for dimerized quantum spin ladders to locate the critical phases that separate gapped phases representing quantum spin liquids of various types. Using the DMRG, method we find that the TOP is a…
We show that the $D=11$ Supermembrane theory (M2-brane) compactified on a $M_9 \times T^2$ target space, with constant fluxes $C_{\pm}$ naturally incorporates the geometrical structure of a twisted torus. We extend the M2-brane theory to a…
As countless examples show, it can be fruitful to study a sequence of complicated objects all at once via the formalism of generating functions. We apply this point of view to the homology and combinatorics of orbit configuration spaces:…
