We study the occurrence of global gauge anomalies in the coset models of two-dimensional conformal field theory that are based on gauged WZW models. A complete classification of the non-anomalous theories for a wide family of gauged rigid…
We show that there is an equivalence in any $n$-topos $\mathcal{X}$ between the pointed and $k$-connective objects of $\mathcal{X}$ and the $\mathbb{E}_k$-group objects of the $(n-k-1)$-truncation of $\mathcal{X}$. This recovers, up to…
We examine a strong/weak duality between a Heisenberg coset of a theory with $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebra symmetry and a theory with a $\mathfrak{sl}_{n|1}$-structure. In a previous work, two of the current authors…
We study the properties of operators in a unitary conformal field theory whose scaling dimensions approach each other for some values of the parameters and satisfy von Neumann-Wigner non-crossing rule. We argue that the scaling dimensions…
We use a Mayer-Vietoris-like spectral sequence to establish vanishing results for the cohomology of complements of linear and elliptic hyperplane arrangements, as part of a more general framework involving duality and abelian duality…
We investigate the relation between the actions of Tomita-Takesaki modular operators for local von Neumann algebras in the vacuum for free massive and massless bosons in four dimensional Minkowskian spacetime. In particular, we prove a…
We consider the standard vector and chiral gauged WZNW models by their gauged maximal null subgroups and show that they can be mapped to each other by a special transformation. We give an explicit expression for the map in the case of the…
We develop a new ensemble of modular random graphs in which degree-degree correlations can be different in each module and the inter-module connections are defined by the joint degree-degree distribution of nodes for each pair of modules.…
The $GL(1|1)$ WZW model in the free field realization that uses the $bc$ system is revisited. By bosonizing the $bc$ system we describe the Neveu--Schwarz and Ramond sector modules $\mathcal V^{\text{NS}}_{en}=\bigoplus_{l\in\mathbb…
We investigate the W-algebras generated by the integer dimension chiral primary operators of the SU(2)_0 WZNW model. These have a form almost identical to that found in the c=-2 model but have, in addition, an extended Kac-Moody structure.…
We construct irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras over left ideals of the algebra of differential operators on the circle, through certain irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras of…
We study the two point correlation function of a local operator on an $n$-sheeted replica manifold corresponding to the half-space in the vacuum state of a conformal field theory. In analogy with the inverse Laplace transform, we define the…
Macaulay Duality, between quotients of a polynomial ring over a field, annihilated by powers of the variables, and finitely generated submodules of the ring's graded dual, is generalized over any Noetherian ring, and used to provide…
This is a proceedings article reviewing a recent combinatorial construction of the su(n) WZNW fusion ring by C. Stroppel and the author. It contains one novel aspect: the explicit derivation of an algorithm for the computation of fusion…
We consider two level $k$ WZNW models coupled to each other through a generalized Thirring-like current-current interaction. It is shown that in the large $k$ limit, this interacting system can be presented as a two-parameter perturbation…
Warped backgrounds in five dimensional models can provide solutions to various hierarchy problems in particle physics if the standard model matter is associated with the zero modes of bulk fields with nontrivial profiles along the extra…
We show that Verdier duality for certain sheaves on the moduli spaces of graphs associated to Koszul operads corresponds to Koszul duality of operads. This in particular gives a conceptual explanation of the appearance of graph cohomology…
We define and study the notion of numerical equivalence on algebraic cobordism cycles. We prove that algebraic cobordism modulo numerical equivalence is a finitely generated module over the Lazard ring, and it reproduces the Chow group…
The approximation classes of modules that arise as components of cotorsion pairs are tied up by Salce's duality. Here we consider general approximation classes of modules and investigate possibilities of dualization in dependence on closure…
We give a simple coordinate free description of the WZW connection and derive its main properties.
