We show that the bivariant Chern character in entire cyclic cohomology constructed in a previous paper in terms of superconnections and heat kernel regularization, retracts on periodic cocycles under some finite summability conditions. The…
The classical Cohn-Vossen theorem states that two isometric compact convex surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ are congruent. In this short note, we generalize the classical Cohn-Vossen Theorem to higher dimensional surfaces in space form…
We define a class of Bernstein-Szeg\H{o} measures on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and we establish their spectral properties, providing a natural extension of the one-dimensional theory. We also derive conditions involving finitely many moments, which…
We provide formulas for the Chern classes of linear submanifolds of the moduli spaces of Abelian differentials and hence for their Euler characteristic. This includes as special case the moduli spaces of k-differentials, for which we set up…
In this paper, we establish the $C^0$-coerciveness of Moser's problem of mapping one smooth volume form to another in terms of the weak topology of measures associated to the volume forms. The proof relies on our analysis of…
The recent papers arXiv:1110.0971 and arXiv:1201.5431 have provided a superfield description for vector-tensor multiplets and their Chern-Simons couplings in 4D N = 2 conformal supergravity. Here we develop a superform formulation for these…
It has long been appreciated that the toroidal reduction of any gravity or supergravity to two dimensions gives rise to a scalar coset theory exhibiting an infinite-dimensional global symmetry. This symmetry is an extension of the…
Abstract inner automorphisms can be used to promote any category into a 2-category, and we study two-dimensional limits and colimits in the resulting 2-categories. Existing connected colimits and limits in the starting category become…
A new dynamic SU(3)-structure solution in type-IIA is found by T-dualising a deformation of the Maldacena-Nastase solution along an SU(2) isometry. It is argued that this is dual to a quiver gauge theory with multiple Chern-Simons levels. A…
We propose a duality for N=2 d=3 Chern-Simons gauge theories with orthogonal gauge groups and matter in the vector representation. This duality generalizes level-rank duality for pure Chern-Simons gauge theories with orthogonal gauge groups…
We investigate the existence of resonances for two-centers Coulomb systems with arbitrary charges in two dimensions, defining them in terms of generalised complex eigenvalues of a non-selfadjoint deformation of the two-centers Schr\"odinger…
Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions are topological field theories that may have a holographic interpretation for suitable chosen gauge groups and boundary conditions on the fields. Conformal Chern-Simons gravity is a topological…
It is shown that the generalized (with nonpolynomial Lagrangian) Chern-Simons membranes and in general $p$-branes moving in $D$-dimensional target space admit an infinite set of secondary constraints. With respect to the Poisson bracket…
For any real-analytic hypersurface M in complex euclidean space of dimension >= 2 which does not contain any complex-analytic subvariety of positive dimension, we show that for every point p in M the local real-analytic CR automorphisms of…
General expressions are given for Chern forms up to the 13th order in curvature in terms of simple polynomial concomitants of the curvature 2-form for n-dimensional differentiable manifolds having a general linear connection.
We propose an extension of a recent non-perturbative method suited for solving the N-body problem in (2+1)-gravity to the case of Chern-Simons supergravity. Coupling with supersymmetric point particles is obtained implicitly by extending…
In a previous paper [\AS], we used superspace techniques to prove that perturbation theory (around a classical solution with no zero modes) for Chern--Simons quantum field theory on a general $3$-manifold $M$ is finite. We conjectured (and…
We present a local classification of smooth projective surfaces in 3-space via projective transformations in accordance with singularity types of central projections up to codimension 4. We also discuss relations between our classification…
In this paper, we prove that for an $n$-dimensional closed minimal Willmore hypersurface $M^n$ with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$, the squared norm $S$ of the second fundamental form of $M^n$ satisfies…
In this paper, we prove a second main theorem for a holomorphic curve $f$ into $\mathbb P^N (\mathbb C)$ with a family of slowly moving hypersurfaces $D_1,...,D_q$ with respect to $f$ in $m$-subgeneral position, proving an inequality with…
