This paper reviews recent work on a new geometric object called a bundle gerbe and discusses some new examples arising in quantum field theory. One application is to an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theory construction of the bundle of…

We study Coulomb branch moduli spaces of a class of three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories whose quiver satisfies the balance condition. The Coulomb branch is described by dressed monopole operators which can be counted using the…

We introduce a variant of the $K$-theoretic quantized Coulomb branch constructed by Braverman--Finkelberg--Nakajima, by application of a new virtual intersection theory. In the abelian case, we define Verma modules for such virtual Coulomb…

The generalized affine Grassmannian slices $\overline{\mathcal{W}}_\mu^\lambda$ are algebraic varieties introduced by Braverman, Finkelberg, and Nakajima in their study of Coulomb branches of $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theories. We…

We consider N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with a simple classical gauge group, one adjoint $\Phi, N_f$ pairs ($Q_i,\tilde{Q_i}$) of (fundamental, anti-fundamental) and a tree-level superpotential with terms of the Landau-Ginzburg form…

We establish equivalences of derived categories of the following 3 categories: (1) Principal block of representations of the quantum at a root of 1; (2) G-equivariant coherent sheaves on the Springer resolution; (3) Perverse sheaves on the…

A special linear Grassmann variety SGr(k,n) is the complement to the zero section of the determinant of the tautological vector bundle over Gr(k,n). For a representable ring cohomology theory A(-) with a special linear orientation and…

We show that Hilbert schemes of planar curve singularities and their parabolic variants can be interpreted as certain generalized affine Springer fibers for $GL_n$, as defined by Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson. Using a generalization of affine…

We propose a construction of the quantum-corrected Coulomb branch of a general 3d gauge theory with $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetry, in terms of local coordinates associated with an abelianized theory. In a fixed complex structure, the…

We derive a variant of the loop-tree duality for Feynman integrals in the Schwinger parametric representation. This is achieved by decomposing the integration domain into a disjoint union of cells, one for each spanning tree of the graph…

We study in detail two row Springer fibres of even orthogonal type from an algebraic as well as topological point of view. We show that the irreducible components and their pairwise intersections are iterated P^1-bundles. Using results of…

We show that Coulomb branches for $3$-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories have symplectic singularities. This confirms a conjecture of Braverman-Finkelberg-Nakajima.

We state a conjecture on how to construct affine pavings for cohomologically pure projective algebraic varieties, which admit an action of torus such that the fixed points and $1$-dimensional orbits are finite. Experiments on the affine…

We apply gauge theory to study the space $F_k(M)$ of smooth codimension-$k$ framed foliations on a smooth manifold $M$. The quotient of Maurer-Cartan elements by the action of an infinite dimensional non-abelian gauge groupoid forms a…

The concepts of Boolean metric space and convex combination are used to characterize polynomial maps in a class of commutative Von Neumann regular rings including Boolean rings and p-rings, that we have called CFG-rings. In those rings, the…

Motivated by the Poisson Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence problem, a systematic study of commutative unitary rings equipped with a {\em biderivation}, namely a binary operation that is a derivation in each argument, is here begun, with an eye…

Generalized affine Grassmannian slices provide geometric realizations for weight spaces of representations of semisimple Lie algebras. They are also Coulomb branches, symplectic dual to Nakajima quiver varieties. In this paper, we prove…

Looking for a geometric framework to study plectic Heegner points, we define a collection of abelian varieties - called plectic Jacobians - using the middle degree cohomology of quaternionic Shimura varieties (QSVs). The construction is…
