We study three distinct types of planar, spherically symmetric and localized structures, one of them having non-topological behavior and the two others being of topological nature. The non-topological structures have energy density…
We survey some recent constructions of cluster algebra structures on coordinate rings of unipotent subgroups and unipotent cells of Kac-Moody groups. We also review a quantized version of these results.
We examine which of the compact connected Lie groups that act transitively on spheres of different dimensions leave the unique spin structure of the sphere invariant. We study the notion of invariance of a spin structure and prove this…
Let K be a compact semi-simple Lie group. We classify K-invariant Kaehler structures on the space Kc/(P,P), where Kc is the complexification of K, P is a parabolic subgroup of Kc, and (P,P) the commutator subgroup. For each Kaehler…
It was recently pointed out by E. Witten that for a D-brane to consistently wrap a submanifold of some manifold, the normal bundle must admit a Spin^c structure. We examine this constraint in the case of type II string compactifications…
We consider commuting squares of finite dimensional von Neumann algebras having the algebra of complex numbers in the lower left corner. Examples include the vertex models, the spin models (in the sense of subfactor theory) and the…
We give a topological interpretation of the highest weight representations of Kac-Moody groups. Given the unitary form G of a Kac-Moody group (over C), we define a version of equivariant K-theory, K_G on the category of proper G-CW…
Simply connected 3-dimensional homogeneous manifolds $E(\kappa, \tau)$, with 4-dimensional isometry group, have a canonical Spin$^c$ structure carrying parallel or Killing spinors. The restriction to any hypersurface of these parallel or…
The paper is a short survey of recent developments in the area of word maps evaluated on groups and algebras. It is aimed to pose questions relevant to Kac--Moody theory.
In this article we analyze the quotients of the maximal compact subalgebras of the split real Kac-Moody algebras of the En series resulting from the generalized spin representations introduced in part 1. It turns out that these quotients…
We introduce spin-harmonic structures, a class of geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds of low dimension which are defined by a harmonic unitary spinor. Such structures are related to SU(2) (dim=4,5), SU(3) (dim=6) and G_2 (dim=7)…
We systematically discuss connections on the spinor bundle of Cahen-Wallach symmetric spaces. A large class of these connections is closely connected to a quadratic relation on Clifford algebras. This relation in turn is associated to the…
There are 10 generalized Kac-Moody algebras whose denominator identities are completely reflective automorphic products of singular weight on lattices of squarefree level. Under the assumption that the meromorphic vertex operator algebra of…
Automorphisms of finite order and real forms of "smooth" affine Kac-Moody algebras are studied, i.e. of 2-dimensional extensions of the algebra of smooth loops in a simple Lie algebra. It is shown that they can be parametrized by certain…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of spinc structures on real Bott manifolds.
In this paper we show that Weyl-invariant commutator blueprints of type $(4, 4, 4)$ are faithful. As a consequence we answer a question of Tits from the late $1980$s about twin buildings. Moreover, we obtain the first example of a…
We have performed a quantum mechanic calculation (including solving the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations to obtain the spatial wave functions, and diagonalizing the spin-dependent Hamiltonian in the spin-space to obtain the total spin…
We investigate smooth representations of complete Kac-Moody groups. We approach representation theory via geometry, in particular, the group action on the Davis realisation of its Bruhat-Tits building. Our results include an estimate on…
The goal of the present paper is to obtain new free field realizations of affine Kac-Moody algebras motivated by geometric representation theory for generalized flag manifolds of finite-dimensional semisimple Lie groups. We provide an…
We define spin-c prequantization of a symplectic manifold to be a spin-c structure and a connection which are compatible with the symplectic form. We describe the cutting of an S^1-equivariant spin-c prequantization. The cutting process…
