This talk introduces a Cartan-geometric framework for generalised geometries governed by a differential graded Lie algebra. In contrast to ordinary Cartan geometry, the tangent bundle is extended and qu both a global duality group and a…

We study the moduli space of vacua of four dimensional N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with the gauge groups $Sp(2 N_c)$, $SO(2 N_c)$ and $SO(2 N_c +1)$ using the M theory fivebrane. Higgs branches of the N=2 supersymmetric gauge…

We produce group structures on certain sets of topological vector bundles of fixed rank. In particular, we put a group structure on complex rank $2$ bundles on $\mathbb{C}P^3$ with fixed first Chern class. We show that this binary operation…

Given a smooth complex projective variety $M$ and a smooth closed curve $X \subset M$ such that the homomorphism of fundamental groups $\pi_1(X) \rightarrow \pi_1(M)$ is surjective, we study the restriction map of Higgs bundles, namely from…

For $g \ge 5$, we give a complete classification of the connected components of strata of abelian differentials over Teichm\"uller space, establishing an analogue of Kontsevich and Zorich's classification of their components over moduli…

The homotopy theory of gauge groups has received considerable attention in recent decades. In this work, we study the homotopy theory of gauge groups over some high dimensional manifolds. To be more specific, we study gauge groups of…

The chiral algebra of the symmetric product orbifold of a single-boson CFT corresponds to a "higher spin square" algebra in the large $N$ limit. In this note, we show that a symmetrized collection of $N$ bosons defines a similar structure…

The author explains local and global model structures on higher orbifolds which are truncated \'{e}tale differentiable higher stacks, and discuss the application of the model structures to quantum cohomology of higher and derived orbifolds.

We study elliptic fibrations by analyzing suitable deformations of the fibrations and vanishing cycles. We introduce geometric string junctions and describe some of their properties. We show how the structure of the geometric string…

Unit tangent bundles $UM$ of semi-Riemannian manifolds $M$ are shown to be examples of dynamical Legendrian contact structures, which were defined in recent work [25] of Sykes-Zelenko to generalize leaf spaces of 2-nondegenerate CR…

This is the first of a series of papers devoted to the group-theoretical analysis of the conditions which must be satisfied for a configuration of intersecting M5-branes to be supersymmetric. In this paper we treat the case of static…

We develop a sequential-topological study of rational points of schemes of finite type over local rings typical in higher dimensional number theory and algebraic geometry. These rings are certain types of multidimensional complete fields…

For a pointed topological space $X$, we use an inductive construction of a simplicial resolution of $X$ by wedges of spheres to construct a "higher homotopy structure" for $X$ (in terms of chain complexes of spaces). This structure is then…

We give a complete and explicit description of the kinematical data of higher gauge theory on principal 2-bundles with the string 2-group model of Schommer-Pries as structure 2-group. We start with a self-contained review of the weak…

In this paper, we introduce the category of Lie $n$-racks and generalize several results known on racks. In particular, we show that the tangent space of a Lie $n$-Rack at the neutral element has a Leibniz $n$-algebra structure. We also…

We study various aspects on nontrivial logarithmic co-Higgs structure associated to unstable bundles on algebraic curves. We check several criteria for (non-)existence of nontrivial logarithmic co-Higgs structures and describe their…

Graded bundles are a class of graded manifolds which represent a natural generalisation of vector bundles and include the higher order tangent bundles as canonical examples. We present and study the concept of the linearisation of graded…

We study the structure of rational Picard groups of hypersurfaces of toric varieties. By using the fan structure associated to the ambient toric variety, an explicit basis of the Picard group is described by certain combinatorial data. We…

In this paper, we study the structure theory of a class of not-finitely graded Lie algebras related to generalized Heisenberg-Virasoro algebras. In particular, the derivation algebras, the automorphism groups and the second cohomology…

This article gives a survey of recent results on a generalization of the notion of a Hodge structure. The main example is related to the Fourier-Laplace transform of a variation of polarizable Hodge structure on the punctured affine line,…
