We give a unified description of tetrahedra with lightlike faces in 3d anti-de Sitter, de Sitter and Minkowski spaces and of their duals in 3d anti-de Sitter, hyperbolic and half-pipe spaces. We show that both types of tetrahedra are…
Within the framework of (2,0) anti-de Sitter (AdS) supersymmetry in three dimensions, we propose a multiplet of higher-spin currents. Making use of this supercurrent, we construct two off-shell gauge formulations for a massless multiplet of…
In this paper we obtain new upper bounds on volumes of right-angled polyhedra in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$ in three different cases: for ideal polyhedra with all vertices on the ideal hyperbolic boundary, for compact polytopes with…
This thesis is dedicated to the study of (super)spin projection operators and their applications on maximally symmetric (super)space backgrounds in three and four dimensions. On such backgrounds, the irreducible representations of the…
Superspace techniques are used to formulate a supersymmetric model on an AdS3 surface embedded in four dimensions. In this model, the supersymmetry transformation is the "square root" of the transformation generated by the isometry…
Polypols are natural generalizations of polytopes, with boundaries given by nonlinear algebraic hypersurfaces. We describe polypols in the plane and in 3-space that admit a unique adjoint hypersurface and study them from an…
We prove that every three-dimensional polyhedron is uniquely determined by its dihedral angles and edge lengths, even if nonconvex or self-intersecting, under two plausible sufficient conditions: (i) the polyhedron has only convex faces and…
We present a software suite for the analysis and optimization of ideal convex polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space $\mathbb{H}^3$. Using Rivin's variational characterization of ideal polyhedra, we develop efficient algorithms for checking…
Spacetime properties of superstrings on AdS_3 x S^3 x S^3 x S^1 are studied. The boundary theory is a two dimensional superconformal field theory with a large N=(4,4) supersymmetry.
We study N <= 2 superconformal and supersymmetric theories on Lorentzian threemanifolds with a view toward holographic applications, in particular to BPS black hole solutions. As in the Euclidean case, preserved supersymmetry for…
We compute the two-point correlation functions for the spin-3 theory in three dimensional (Anti-) de Sitter spacetimes by using holographic renormalisation. For the AdS case, we find results consistent with the general requirements of…
We examine a stationary but non-static asymptotically AdS_3 spacetime with two causally connected conformal boundaries, each of which is a ``null cylinder'', namely a cylinder with a null direction identified. This spacetime arises from…
Let $h^{+}$ and $h^{-}$ be two complete, conformal metrics on the disc $\mathbb{D}$. Assume moreover that the derivatives of the conformal factors of the metrics $h^{+}$ and $h^{-}$ are bounded at any order with respect to the hyperbolic…
Hyperideal tetrahedra are the fundamental building blocks of hyperbolic 3-manifolds with geodesic boundary. The study of their geometric properties (in particular, of their volume) has applications also in other areas of low-dimensional…
We prove the existence of a unique maximal surface in each anti-de Sitter (AdS) convex Globally Hyperbolic Maximal (GHM) manifold with particles (that is, with conical singularities along time-like lines) for cone angles less than $\pi$. We…
We consider a compact hyperbolic antiprism. It is a convex polyhedron with $2n$ vertices in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. This polyhedron has a symmetry group $S_{2n}$ generated by a mirror-rotational symmetry of order $2n$, i.e.…
In this paper, we introduce and study the Parallel Polyhedral Projection Method (3PM) and the Approximate Parallel Polyhedral Projection Method (A3PM) for finding a point in the intersection of finitely many closed convex sets. Each…
A large class of extremal and near-extremal four dimensional black holes in M-theory feature near horizon geometries that contain three dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces. Globally, these geometries are derived from AdS_3 by…
We develop an embedding formalism for $(p,q)$ anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspaces in three dimensions by using a modified version of their supertwistor description given in the literature. A coset construction for these superspaces is worked…
We show that given a quasi-circle $C$ in $\partial_{\infty}\mathbb{H}^3$ (respectively in $\partial_{\infty} \mathbb{ADS}^3$) and a complete conformal metric $h$ on $\mathbb{D}$ whose curvature $K_h$ takes values in a compact subset of…
