Infinite-dimensional Grassmannian manifold contains moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces of all genera. This well known fact leads to a conjecture that non-perturbative string theory can be formulated in terms of Grassmannian. We present new…
Certain scattering amplitudes in the gravitational sector of type II string theory on K3 x T^2 are found to be computed by correlation functions of the N=4 topological string. This analysis extends the already known results for K3 by…
We consider two problems associated to the space of Riemann surfaces that are closely related to string theory. We first consider the problem of existence of heterotic-string and type-II-superstring field theory vertices in the product of…
We consider the topological B-model on local Calabi-Yau geometries. We show how one can solve for the amplitudes by using W-algebra symmetries which encodes the symmetries of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of the Calabi-Yau. In the highly…
We establish shape holomorphy results for general weakly- and hyper-singular boundary integral operators arising from second-order partial differential equations in unbounded two-dimensional domains with multiple finite-length open arcs.…
We generalise the analysis in [arXiv:0904.1744] to superspace, and explicitly prove that for any embedding of surface operators in a general, twisted N=2 pure abelian theory on an arbitrary four-manifold, the parameters transform naturally…
The theme of this work is that the theory of charged particles in a uniform magnetic field can be generalized to a large class of operators if one uses an extended a class of Weyl operators which we call "Landau--Weyl pseudodifferential…
In this paper, recent abstract multiplier theorems for $0$-sectorial and $0$-strip type operators by Kriegler and Weis (2018) are refined and generalized to arbitrary sectorial and strip-type operators. To this end, holomorphic…
The behavior of certain weighted Hardy-type operators on rearrangement-invariant function spaces is thoroughly studied with emphasis being put on the optimality of the obtained results. First, the optimal rearrangement-invariant function…
The topology of an object describes global properties that are insensitive to local perturbations. Classic examples include string knots and the genus (number of handles) of a surface: no manipulation of a closed string short of cutting it…
We use the conformal group to study non-local operators in conformal field theories. A plane or a sphere (of any dimension) is mapped to itself by some subgroup of the conformal group, hence operators confined to that submanifold may be…
We study surface and line operators in the GL-twisted N=4 gauge theory in four dimensions. Their properties depend on the parameter t which determines the BRST operator of theory. For t=i we propose a complete description of the 2-category…
We obtain variational formulas for holomorphic objects on Riemann surfaces with respect to arbitrary local coordinates on the moduli space of complex structures. These formulas are written in terms of a canonical object on the moduli space…
In these lecture notes we discuss a body of work in which Morse theory is used to construct various homology and cohomology operations. In the classical setting of algebraic topology this is done by constructing a moduli space of graph…
Given Hilbert spaces $H_1,H_2,H_3$, we consider bilinear maps defined on the cartesian product $S^2(H_2,H_3)\times S^2(H_1,H_2)$ of spaces of Hilbert-Schmidt operators and valued in either the space $B(H_1,H_3)$ of bounded operators, or in…
We investigate spaces of operators which are invariant under translations or modulations by lattices in phase space. The natural connection to the Heisenberg module is considered, giving results on the characterisation of such operators as…
We construct a topology on the standard Hilbert module $l^2(\mathcal A)$ over a unital $W^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ such that any "compact" operator, (i.e.\ any operator in the norm closure of the linear span of the operators of the form…
We consider a family of boundary integral operators supported on a collection of parametrically defined bounded Lipschitz boundaries. Consequently, the boundary integral operators themselves also depend on the parametric variables, thus…
In marked contrast to conventional string theory, ambitwistor strings remain solvable worldsheet theories when coupled to curved background fields. We use this fact to consider the quantization of ambitwistor strings on plane wave metric…
We suppose that $G$ is a locally compact abelian group, $Y$ is a measure space, and $H$ is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space on $G\times Y$ such that $H$ is naturally embedded into $L^2(G\times Y)$ and it is invariant under the…
