We construct Wakimoto modules for twisted affine Lie algebras, and interpret the construction in terms of vertex algebras and their twisted modules. Using the Wakimoto realization, we prove the Kac-Kazhdan conjecture on the characters of…

Given a central simple algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a Galois extension of base rings $S/R$, we show that the maximal ideals of twisted $S/R$-forms of the algebra of currents $\mathfrak{g}(R)$ are in natural bijection with the maximal ideals…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize Zhu's theorem about characters of modules over a vertex operator algebra graded by integer conformal weights, to the setting of a vertex operator superalgebra graded by rational conformal weights.…

Let A be a \C-algebra with an action of a finite group G, let $\natural$ be a 2-cocycle on $G$ and consider the twisted crossed product $A \rtimes \C [G,\natural]$. We determine the Hochschild homology of $A \rtimes \C [G,\natural]$ for two…

For a Lie algebra L over an algebraically closed field of non-zero characteristic, every finite-dimensional L-module can be decomposed into a direct sum of submodules such that all composition factors of a summand have the same character.…

For a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact group of the form $H \times G$, with $H$ compact, we define an $H \times G$-equivariant index of $H$-transversally elliptic operators, which takes values in $KK_*(C^*H, C^*G)$. This…

We offer here a more direct approach to twisted K-theory, based on the notion of twisted vector bundles (of finite or infinite dimension) and of twisted principal bundles. This is closeely related to the classical notion ot torsors and…

We consider a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $G$, and twist by a more general locally compact Hausdorff abelian group $\Gamma$ rather than the complex unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We investigate the construction of $C^*$-algebras in…

We partially describe equivariant Dirac and generalized complex structures on a homogeneous space $G/K$ by giving equivalent data involving only the Lie algebra. We consider real semisimple adjoint orbits in any semisimple Lie algebra over…

In this paper, we study the family index of a family of spin manifolds. In particular, we discuss to which extend the real index (of the Dirac operator of the real spinor bundle if the fiber dimension is divisible by 8) which can be defined…

These are the notes for a minicourse taught at the 2022 ICTP summer school `Frontiers in Geometry and Topology'. The goal is to introduce families of Dirac operators and how they can be used to study interactions between geometry and…

In this paper we describe all invariant complex Dirac structures with constant real index on a maximal flag manifold in terms of the roots of the Lie algebra which defines the flag manifold. We also completely classify these structures…

In this paper, we introduce novel concepts and establish a formal framework for twisted differential operators in the context of several variables. The focus is on twisted coordinates within Huber rings, which facilitate the construction of…

Let $W$ be a finite Weyl group and $\sg$ be a non-trivial graph automorphism of $W$. We show a remarkable relation between the $\sg$-twisted involution module for $W$ and the Frobenius--Schur indicators of the unipotent characters of a…

A classical twisting lemma says that given a finitely generated torsion module $M$ over the Iwasawa algebra $\mathbb{Z}_p[[\Gamma ]]$ with $\Gamma \cong \mathbb{Z}_p, \ \exists$ a continuous character $\theta: \Gamma \rightarrow…

We show that the characters of tilting modules can be used, in a concrete and explicit way, to obtain the simple characters of a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic $p$, for…

Let $G$ be the group of complex points of a real semi-simple Lie group whose fundamental rank is equal to 1, e.g. $G= \SL_2 (\C) \times \SL_2 (\C)$ or $\SL_3 (\C)$. Then the fundamental rank of $G$ is $2,$ and according to the conjecture…
