Let M be a closed enlargeable spin manifold. We show non-triviality of the universal index obstruction in the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of the fundamental group of M. Our proof is independent from the injectivity of the…

We show that various actions of topological conformal theories that were suggested recentely are particular cases of a general action. We prove the invariance of these models under transformations generated by nilpotent fermionic generators…

We show by direct construction that a large class of quiver gauge theories admits actions of finite Heisenberg groups. We consider various quiver gauge theories that arise as AdS/CFT duals of orbifolds of C^3, the conifold and its orbifolds…

We develop the theory of a category ${\mathscr C}_A$ which is a generalisation to non-restricted ${\mathfrak g}$-modules of a category famously studied by Andersen, Jantzen and Soergel for restricted ${\mathfrak g}$-modules, where…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup. Starting from $G$-spin models, in which a non-Abelian field ${\mathcal{F}}_H$ w.r.t. $H$ carries an action of the Hopf $C^*$-algebra $D(H;G)$, a subalgebra of the quantum double $D(G)$,…

We give an exposition of the formal aspects of deformation theory in the language of fibered categories, instead of the more traditional one of functors. The main concepts are that of tangent space to a deformation problem, obstruction…

We give criteria for when finitely generated local modules over a commutative algebra $A$ in the ind-completion $\widehat{\mathcal{C}}$ of a braided tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ inherit the structure of a (rigid, braided, ribbon) tensor…

Chiral orbifold models are defined as gauge field theories with a finite gauge group $\Gamma$. We start with a conformal current algebra A associated with a connected compact Lie group G and a negative definite integral invariant bilinear…

The main result is that the category of ordinary modules of an affine vertex operator algebra of a simply laced Lie algebra at admissible level is rigid and thus a braided fusion category. If the level satisfies a certain coprime property…

We present a simple sufficient condition for triviality of obstruction in the orbifold construction. As an application, we can show the existence of subfactors with principal graph $D_{2n}$ without full use of Ocneanu's paragroup theory.

Let $V\subseteq A$ be a conformal inclusion of vertex operator algebras and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a category of grading-restricted generalized $V$-modules that admits the vertex algebraic braided tensor category structure of…

In this note, we prove an obstruction theorem for the existence of A infinite-structures over a commutative ring R on an algebra A associative up to homotopy, in terms of the Hochschild cohomology of the associative algebra H(A). The hidden…

Abelian track categories can be classified via the third Baues-Wirsching cohomology of small categories. This approach is used in this paper to compare and classify different generalisations of the obstruction theory of non-abelian group…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic 0 the faithful continuous action $\phi$ of a finite group $G$ on $k[[t]]$. To each such $\phi$ a theorem of Katz and…

Let $G$ be a $p$-adic group that splits over an unramified extension. We decompose $Rep_{\Lambda}^{0}(G)$, the abelian category of smooth level $0$ representations of $G$ with coefficients in $\Lambda=\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_{\ell}$ or…

Let G be a linear algebraic group defined over a field k. We prove that, under mild assumptions on k and G, there exists a finite k-subgroup S of G such that the natural map H^1(K, S) -> H^1(K, G) is surjective for every field extension…

The multiplicative structure of the trivial symplectic groupoid over $\mathbb R^d$ associated to the zero Poisson structure can be expressed in terms of a generating function. We address the problem of deforming such a generating function…

Regular and higher regular graded algebras (in simplest case satisfying Von Neumann regularity $\Theta_{1}\Theta_{2}\Theta_{1}=\Theta_{1}$ instead of anticommutativity) are introduced and their properties are studied. They are described in…
