The present paper is the first in a series devoted to the study of asymptotic geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces. We introduce the moduli space of hybrid curves as a new compactification of the moduli space of curves,…
We determine a lattice of inclusion classes of semigroups consisting of unions of varieties of generalised inflations of rectangular bands.
We report about a recently started project with the aim to compute hybrid static potentials using lattice gauge theory. First preliminary results for pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory are presented.
Let $\rho$ be a maximal representation of a uniform lattice $\Gamma\subset{\rm SU}(n,1)$, $n\geq 2$, in a classical Lie group of Hermitian type $H$. We prove that necessarily $H={\rm SU}(p,q)$ with $p\geq qn$ and there exists a holomorphic…
We study quasi-isometric embeddings of symmetric spaces and non-uniform irreducible lattices in semisimple higher rank Lie groups. We show that any quasi-isometric embedding between symmetric spaces of the same rank can be decomposed into a…
We prove several fundamental results about divisorial integral domains in the setup of multiplicative lattices.
We extend the notion of a partial cohomology group $H^n(G,A)$ to the case of non-unital $A$ and find interpretations of $H^1(G,A)$ and $H^2(G,A)$ in the theory of extensions of semilattices of abelian groups by groups.
A vertical 2-sum of a two-coatom lattice $L$ and a two-atom lattice $U$ is obtained by removing the top of $L$ and the bottom of $U$, and identifying the coatoms of $L$ with the atoms of $U$. This operation creates one or two nonisomorphic…
Deligne and Mostow constructed a class of lattices in PU(2,1) using monodromy of hypergeometric functions. Later, Thurston reinterpreted them in terms of cone metrics on the sphere. In this spirit we construct a fundamental domain for all…
In this paper we are constructing integer lattice squares, cubes or hypercubes in $\mathbb R^d$ with $d\in \{2,3,4\}$. For squares and cubes we find a complete description of their Ehrhart polynomial. For hypercubes, we compute one of the…
Faithful representations of regular $\ast$-rings and modular complemented lattices with involution within orthosymmetric sesquilinear spaces are studied within the framework of Universal Algebra. In particular, the correspondence between…
We present an algorithm for computing line bundle valued cohomology classes over toric varieties. This is the basic starting point for computing massless modes in both heterotic and Type IIB/F-theory compactifications, where the manifolds…
Hypergraphic polytopes $\Delta_{\mathbb{H}}$ arise as Minkowski sums of simplices indexed by the hyperedges of a hypergraph $\mathbb{H}$. Orienting the $1$-skeleton of such a polytope by a certain generic linear functional gives rise to the…
A periodic lattice in Euclidean space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…
Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro proved existence of finite volume non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds of any given dimension. In dimension four and higher, we show that there are about v^v such manifolds of volume at most v, considered up to…
A mixed lattice is a partially ordered set with two mixed partial orderings that are linked by asymmetric upper and lower envelopes. These notions generalize the join and meet operations of a lattice. In the present paper, we study…
We consider the lattice of subsemigroups of the general linear group over an Artinian ring containing the group of diagonal matrices and show that every such semigroup is actually a group.
Lattice systems with certain Lie algebraic or quantum Lie algebraic symmetries are constructed. These symmetric models give rise to series of integrable systems. As examples the $A_n$-symmetric chain models and the SU(2)-invariant ladder…
We introduce abstract net spaces on directed sets and prove their embedding and interpolation properties. Typical examples of interest are lattices of irreducible unitary representations of compact Lie groups and of class I representations…
We construct a class of exactly solved (0,2) heterotic compactifications, similar to the (2,2) models constructed by Gepner. We identify these as special points in moduli spaces containing geometric limits described by non-linear sigma…
