This contribution reviews recent progress in constructing affine Lie algebras at arbitrary level in terms of vertex operators. The string model describes a completely compactified subcritical chiral bosonic string whose momentum lattice is…

We investigate a Gepner-like superstring model described by a combination of multiple minimal models and an N=2 Liouville theory. This model is thought to be equivalent to the superstring theory on a singular noncompact Calabi-Yau manifold.…

For semisimple Lie algebras, the BGG resolution is often viewed as a categorification of the Weyl character formula. For general linear Lie superalgebras, Brundan--Stroppel constructed an infinite resolution of the so-called Kostant simple…

We show that the non-critical $c=1$ string at the self-dual radius is equivalent to topological strings based on the deformation of the conifold singularity of Calabi-Yau threefolds. The Penner sum giving the genus expansion of the free…

The Steinberg tensor product theorem is a fundamental result in the modular representation theory of reductive algebraic groups. It describes any finite-dimensional simple module of highest weight $\lambda$ over such a group as the tensor…

We define Schur categories, $\Gamma^d \mathcal C$, associated to a $\Bbbk$-linear category $\mathcal C$, over a commutative ring $\Bbbk$. The corresponding representation categories, $\mathbf{rep}\, \Gamma^d\mathcal C$, generalize…

We introduce and study a derived version $\mathbf L\mathrm{Bin}$ of the binomial monad on the unbounded derived category $\mathscr D(\mathbb Z)$ of $\mathbb Z$-modules. This monad acts naturally on singular cohomology of any topological…

We consider a class of four parameter D=4, N=2 string models, namely heterotic strings compactified on K3 times T2 together with their dual type II partners on Calabi-Yau three-folds. With the help of generalized modular forms (such as…

We prove that the geometric Weyl bulk-density exponent $(d-2)/2$ rigidifies spectral encodings $C=\pi-\phi(\lambda)$ in the O-regularly varying class: the bulk power law forces $\phi\in\mathrm{RV}_1$ (asymptotic linearity). For…

We study stable W-length in groups, especially for W equal to the n-fold commutator gamma_n:=[x_1,[x_2, . . . [x_{n-1},x_n]] . . . ]. We prove that in any perfect group, for any n at least 2 and any element g, the stable commutator length…

A weight $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$-module with finite-dimensional weight spaces is called a cuspidal module, if every root vector of $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$ acts injectively on it. In \cite{LL}, it has been shown that any block with a generalized…

We characterize characteristic polynomials of elements in a central simple algebra. We also give an account for the theory of rational canonical forms for separable linear transformations over a central division algebra, and a description…

We construct quasi-particle bases of principal subspaces of standard modules $L(\Lambda)$, where $\Lambda=k_0\Lambda_0+k_j\Lambda_j$, and $\Lambda_j$ denotes the fundamental weight of affine Lie algebras of type $B_l^{(1)}$, $C_l^{(1)}$,…

The norm closure of the algebra generated by the set $\{n\mapsto {\lambda}^{n^k}:$ $\lambda\in{\mathbb {T}}$ and $k\in{\mathbb{N}}\}$ of functions on $({\mathbb {Z}}, +)$ was studied in \cite{S} (and was named as the Weyl algebra). In this…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and let Sp(2m) be the symplectic group of rank m over K. The main theorem of this article gives the character of the rational simple Sp(2m)-modules with fundamental highest weight…

Let $f_i(P)$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces of a convex polytope $P$. Furthermore, let $S(n,d)$ and $C(n,d)$ denote, respectively, the stacked and the cyclic $d$-dimensional polytopes on $n$ vertices. Our main result is that for…

We give a characterization for the binary linear constant weight codes by using the symmetric difference of the supports of the codewords. This characterization gives a correspondence between the set of binary linear constant weight codes…

We develop some properties and the Bonnet formula for Clifford Gegenbauer polynomials. Then after we define and construct weighted Clifford prolate spheroidal wave functions. We then prove that they are orthogonal in a weighted function…

For a connected CW-complex, we let $SNT(X)$ be the set of all homotopy types $[Y]$ such that the Postnikov approximations $X^{(n)}$ and $Y^{(n)}$ of $X$ and $Y$, respectively, are homotopy equivalent for all positive integers $n$. In 1992,…

We classify all $q$-ary $\Delta$-divisible linear codes which are spanned by codewords of weight $\Delta$. The basic building blocks are the simplex codes, and for $q=2$ additionally the first order Reed-Muller codes and the parity check…
