The intersection of the conifold $z_1^2+z_2^2+z_3^2 =0$ and $S^5$ is a compact 3--dimensional manifold $X^3$. We review the description of $X^3$ as a principal U(1) bundle over $S^2$ and construct the associated monopole line bundles. These…

A connection modulo gauge symmetry on the trivial principal bundle $M\times G$ is a morphism from the loop group of $M$ into $G$. Thus, considering only loops around the 2-cells of a distinguished family of progressively refined cellular…

Let $G$ be a $5$-group of maximal class and $\gamma_2(G) = [G, G]$ its derived group. Assume that the abelianization $G/\gamma_2(G)$ is of type $(5, 5)$ and the transfers $V_{H_1\to \gamma_2(G)}$ and $V_{H_2\to \gamma_2(G)}$ are trivial,…

In this paper we study the classifying theory of principal bundles in the parametrized setting, motivated by recent interest in higher gauge theory. Using simplicial techniques, we construct a product-preserving classifying space functor…

In this paper, we construct a Q-operator as a trace of a representation of the universal R-matrix of $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$ over an infinite-dimensional auxiliary space. This auxiliary space is a four-parameter generalization of the q-oscillator…

Elimination of the fibre coordinate dependence from the connection form transformation rule for a bundle with a coset manifold standard fibre reduces the structure group. The nonlinear SU(4) action on an $S^7$ bundle is applied to the…

We introduce the notion of a standard weighted graph and show that every weighted graph has an essentially unique standard model. Moreover we classify birational transformations between such models. Our central result shows that these are…

We propose a new collapsing mechanism for $G_2$-metrics, with the generic region admitting a circle bundle structure over a K3 fibration over a Riemann surface. The adiabatic description involves a weighted version of the maximal…

Let $M$ be a closed orientable Riemannian surface. Consider an SO(3)-connection $A$ and a Higgs field $\Phi:M\to so(3)$. The pair $(A,\Phi)$ naturally induces a cocycle over the geodesic flow of $M$. We classify (up to gauge…

We investigate the nucleon's transverse spin-dependent structure function g_2(x, Q^{2}) in the framework of the operator product expansion and the renormalization group. We construct the complete set of the twist-3 operators for the flavor…

We present a group of transformations in the space of generalized connections that contains the set of transformations generated by the flux variables of loop quantum gravity. This group is labelled by certain SU(2)-valued functions on the…

In this article, we construct the fuzzy (finite dimensional) analogues of the conifold $Y^6$ and its base $X^5$. We show that fuzzy $X^5$ is (the analogue of) a principal U(1) bundle over fuzzy spheres $S^2_F \times S^2_F$ and explicitly…

We study generating functions for the scalar products of SU(2) coherent intertwiners, which can be interpreted as coherent spin network evaluations on a 2-vertex graph. We show that these generating functions are exactly summable for…

The purpose of this article is threefold: Firstly, we propose some enhancements to the existing definition of 6-functor formalisms. Secondly, we systematically study the category of kernels, which is a certain 2-category attached to every…

We study supergravity solutions corresponding to fivebranes wrapped on a three-sphere inside a G_2 holonomy manifold. By changing a parameter the solutions interpolate between a G_2 manifold X_i \cong S^3 x R^4 with flux on a three-sphere…

Using vacuum domain structure model, trivial static potentials in various representations of $F_4$, $E_6$ and $G_2$ exceptional groups are calculated by means of the unit center element. Due to the absence of the non-trivial center…

It has been pointed out that the recent BaBar data on the pi gamma^* -> gamma transition form factor F_{pi gamma}(Q^2) at low (high) momentum transfer squared Q^2 indicate an asymptotic (flat) pion distribution amplitude. These seemingly…

In this paper, we shall prove Beauville's conjecture: if $f:S \to P^1$ is a non-trivial semistable fibration of genus g>1, then $f$ admits at least 5 singular fibers. We have also constructed an example of genus 2 with 5 singular fibers.…

We present a uniform description of $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structures in dimension $6$ as well as $G_2$-structures in dimension $7$ in terms of a characterising spinor and the spinorial field equations it satisfies. We apply the results to…

The spin foam formalism provides transition amplitudes for loop quantum gravity. Important aspects of the dynamics are understood, but many open questions are pressing on. In this paper we address some of them using a twistorial…
