We discuss the infinite dimensional algebras appearing in integrable perturbations of conformally invariant theories, with special emphasis in the structure of the consequent non-abelian infinite dimensional algebra generalizing $W_\infty$…
We calculate chiral rings of the N=2 vertex algebras constructed from the combinatorial data of toric mirror symmetry and show that they coincide with the description of stringy cohomology conjectured previously in a joint work with A.…
We introduce two algebras associated with a subshift over an arbitrary alphabet. One is unital and the other not necessarily. We focus on the unital case and describe a conjugacy between Ott-Tomforde-Willis subshifts in terms of a…
Two-dimensional N=1,2 supersymmetric chiral models and their dual extensions are introduced and canonically quantized. Working within a superspace formalism, the non-manifest invariance under 2D-superPoincare' transformations is proven. The…
A new local, covariant and nilpotent symmetry is shown to exist for the interacting BRST invariant U(1) gauge theory in two dimensions of space-time. Under this new symmetry, it is the gauge-fixing term that remains invariant and the…
The 6d $(2,0)$ theory has codimension-one symmetry defects associated to the outer-automorphism group of the underlying ADE Lie algebra. These symmetry defects give rise to twisted sectors of codimension-two defects that are either regular…
An algebraic deformation theory of module-algebras over a bialgebra is constructed. The cases of module-coalgebras, comodule-algebras, and comodule-coalgebras are also considered.
A natural generalization of a Lie algebra connection, or Yang-Mills field, to the case of a Lie-Kac superalgebra, for example SU(m/n), just in terms of ordinary complex functions and differentials, is proposed. Using the chirality $\chi$…
We apply the notion of 2-extensions of algebras to the deformation theory of algebras. After standard results on butterflies between 2-extensions, we use this (2, 0)-category to give three perspectives on the deformation theory of algebras.…
The finite form of the $N=2$ super-Weyl transformations in the chiral and twisted-chiral irreducible formulations of the two-dimensional $N=2$ superfield supergravity are found in $N=2$ superspace. The super-Weyl anomaly of the $N=2$…
We analyze the chiral operator ring of the symmetric orbifold conformal field theory on the complex two-plane. We compute the large N limit of the ring and exhibit its factorized leading order behaviour. We moreover calculate all structure…
We develop techniques for computing superconformal blocks in 4d superconformal field theories. First we study the super-Casimir differential equation, deriving simple new expressions for superconformal blocks for 4-point functions…
We propose a method for extracting the Higgs and Coulomb branches of a three-dimensional N = 4 quantum field theory from the algebra of local operators in its holomorphic-topological twist using the formalism of raviolo vertex algebras. Our…
Two-dimensional topological field theories possessing a non-abelian current symmetry are constructed. The topological conformal algebra of these models is analysed. It differs from the one obtained by twisting the $N=2$ superconformal…
A superfield formalism for quantum fields with N-extended superconformal symmetry is developed using vertex algebra techniques in four dimensions.
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…
The operator solution of the anomalous chiral Schwinger model is discussed on the basis of the general principles of Wightman field theory. Some basic structural properties of the model are analyzed taking a careful control on the Hilbert…
We construct a set of non-rational conformal field theories that consist of deformations of Toda field theory for sl(n). Besides conformal invariance, the theories still enjoy a remnant infinite-dimensional affine symmetry. The case n=3 is…
In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…
The chiral ring of classical supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $Sp(N)$ or SO(N) is computed, extending previous work (of Cachazo, Douglas, Seiberg, and the author) for SU(N). The result is that, as has been conjectured, the…
