We consider a central extension of the sheaf of Lie algebras of maps from a manifold into a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra, together with the sheaf of vector fields. Using vertex algebra methods we construct sheaves of modules for…
A notion of an algebroid - a generalization of a Lie algebroid structure is introduced. We show that many objects of the differential calculus on a manifold M associated with the canonical Lie algebroid structure on T^M can be obtained in…
We present a few general results on foliations of 4-manifolds by surfaces: existence, tautness, relations to minimal genus of embedded surfaces; as well as some open problems. We hope to stimulate interest in this area.
It is proved that isomorphisms between algebras of smooth functions on Hausdorff smooth manifolds are implemented by diffeomorphisms. It is not required that manifolds are second countable nor paracompact. This solves a problem stated by A.…
Axial algebras are a recently introduced class of non-associative algebra motivated by applications to groups and vertex-operator algebras. We develop the structure theory of axial algebras focussing on two major topics: (1) radical and…
We compute the oriented cobordism group of fold maps of 4-manifolds into the space with all the possible restrictions (and also with no restriction) to the singular fibers. We also give geometric invariants which describe completely the…
We study various orientifold projections of 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ toric gauge theories, associated with CY singularities known as $L^{a,b,a}/\mathbb{Z}_2$, with $a+b$ even. We obtain superconformal chiral theories that have the same central…
We present a ``reasonable'' statement about Lie algebras that is equivalent to the Four Color Theorem. The notions appearing in the statement also appear in the theory of finite-type invariants of knots (Vassiliev invariants) and…
We use algebraic geometry to study the anomaly-free representations of an arbitrary gauge Lie algebra for 4-dimensional spacetime fermions. For irreducible representations, the problem reduces to studying the Lie algebras $\mathfrak{su}_n$…
The notion of quadratic self-duality for coalgebras is developed with applications to algebraic structures which arise naturally in algebraic topology, related to the universal Steenrod algebra via an appropriate form of duality. This…
The aim of the paper is to discuss the relations between the three kinds of objects named in the title. In a sense, this is a survey of such relations; however, some new directions are also considered. This relates, especially, to sections…
We study the 2D vertex operator algebra (VOA) construction in 4D $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFT) on $S^3 \times S^1$, focusing both on old puzzles as well as new observations. The VOA lives on a two-torus…
It has long been known in universal algebra that any distributive sublattice of congruences of an algebra which consists entirely of commuting congruences yields a sheaf representation of the algebra. In this paper we provide a…
This work concludes a series of four papers on the foundational theory of orbifolds and stacks. We apply the abstract theory, developed in its predecessors, to orbifolds derived from manifolds. Specifically, we show how the very concrete…
Quadratic algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras; they include the symmetry algebras of 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2 dimensions as special cases. The superintegrable systems are exactly solvable physical systems in classical…
We classify complete curvature homogeneous metrics on simply connected four dimensional manifolds which are invariant under a cohomogeneity one action. We show that they are either isometric to a symmetric space with one of its…
Chiral de Rham complex introduced by Malikov et al. in 1998, is a sheaf of vertex algebras on any complex analytic manifold or non-singular algebraic variety. Starting from the vertex algebra of global sections of chiral de Rham complex on…
We review various aspects of two dimensional conformal field theories paying close attention to the algebraic structures that intervene. We provide a compact description regarding the appearance of a chiral algebra as the symmetry algebra…
A notion of general manifolds is introduced. It covers all usual manifolds in mathematics. Essentially, it is a way how to get a bigger 'fibration' over a site which locally coincides with a given one. An enrichment with generalized…
An orbifold is a Morita equivalence class of a proper {\' e}tale Lie groupoid. A unitary equivalence class of spectral triples over the algebra of smooth invariant functions are associated with any compact spin orbifold. In the case of an…
