We write the partition function for a lattice gauge theory, with compact gauge group, exactly in terms of unconstrained variables and show that, in the mean field approximation, the dynamics of pure gauge theories, invariant under compact,…

A complete classification of the $\delta$-vectors of lattice polytopes whose normalized volumes are at most $4$ is known. In the present paper, we will classify all the $\delta$-vectors of lattice polytopes with normalized volumes $5$.

In this paper we construct families of homology spheres which bound 4-manifolds with intersection forms isomorphic to $-E_8$. We show that these families have arbitrary large correction terms. This result says that among homology spheres,…

We use theta series and modular forms to prove that Z^n is the only integral unimodular lattice of rank n without characteristic vectors of norm <n, i.e. the only integral unimodular lattice not containing a vector w such that (w,w)<n and…

We provide a general classification of supersymmetric lattice gauge theories that can be obtained from orbifolding of theories with four and eight supercharges. We impose at least one preserved supercharge on the lattice and Lorentz…

We propose a class of tangled vortex structures, tied from non-Abelian topological vortices, which are immune against decaying through local reconnections and strand crossings that are allowed by the system. We refer to such structures as…

Affine subgroups having the same Coxeter number with the affine Coxeter groups W(An), W(Dn), and W(En) are constructed by graph folding technique. The affine groups W(Cn) and W(Bn) are obtained from the Coxeter groups W(A2n-1) and W(D2n-1)…

Given a grading $\Gamma: A=\oplus_{g\in G}A_g$ on a nonassociative algebra $A$ by an abelian group $G$, we have two subgroups of the group of automorphisms of $A$: the automorphisms that stabilize each homogeneous component $A_g$ (as a…

In our previous paper math.QA/0409261, we defined a deformation of the group algebra of the group of even elements of a Coxeter group W, and showed that it is flat for all values of parameters if and only if all the rank 3 parabolic…

If $(G_1, G_2)$ is a dual reductive pair of type I in $Sp(W)$, it is known that the degree $8$ metaplectic cover of $Sp(W)$ splits over $G_1G_2$, with one obvious exception. In this paper we replace $G_1G_2$ by a larger subgroup obtained…

We compute Aut(W) for any even Coxeter group whose Coxeter diagram is connected, contains no edges labeled 2, and cannot be separated into more than 2 connected components by removing a single vertex. The description is given explicitly in…

We define a new lattice structure on the elements of a finite Coxeter group W. This lattice, called the shard intersection order, is weaker than the weak order and has the noncrossing partition lattice NC(W) as a sublattice. The new…

We describe here the lower garland of some lattices of intermediate subgroups in linear groups. The results are applied to the case of subgroup lattices in general and special linear groups over a class of rings, containing the group of…

A theorem of Scott gives an upper bound for the normalized volume of lattice polygons with exactly $i>0$ interior lattice points. We will show that the same bound is true for the normalized volume of lattice polytopes of degree 2 even in…

Among the nondegenerate C^4 hypersurfaces M in R^n, we characterize the rational quadrics as the hypersurfaces that are the least well approximated by rational points. Given M other than a rational quadric, we prove a heuristically sharp…

We define a level for a large class of Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebras. Using this we find the representation content of very extended $A_{D-3}$ and $E_8$ (i.e. $E_{11}$) at low levels in terms of $A_{D-1}$ and $A_{10}$ representations…

The exceptional simple Lie algebras of types E7 and E8 are endowed with optimal $SL_2^n$-structures, and are thus described in terms of the corresponding coordinate algebras. These are nonassociative algebras which much resemble the so…

We denote by Conc(A) the semilattice of all finitely generated congruences of an (universal) algebra A, and we define Conc(V) as the class of all isomorphic copies of all Conc(A), for A in V, for any variety V of algebras. Let V and W be…

We continue the program, begun in \cite{gl3cpath}, to make a moonshine path between a node of the extended $E_8$-diagram and the Monster simple group. Our goal is to provide a context for observations of McKay, Glauberman and Norton by…

Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice in $\R^n$, and let $Z\subseteq \R^{m+n}$ be a definable family in an o-minimal structure over $\R$. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers $Z_T={x\in \R^n: (T,x)\in Z}$. Along the…
