We study compactifications of type II theories on SU(2) x SU(2) structure manifolds to six, five and four spacetime dimensions. We use the framework of generalized geometry to describe the NS-NS sector of such compactifications and derive…

In this informal expository note, we quickly introduce and survey compactifications of strata of holomorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces, i.e. spaces of translation surfaces. In the last decade, several of these have been constructed,…

Supersymmetrical quantum--mechanical system is consider in the case of d=2. The problem of addition of the lower level to spectrums of matrix and scalar components of d=2 SUSY Hamiltonian is investigated. It is shown that in the case, the…

We provide the set of filters (saturated submonoids) in a commutative monoid with a topology (like the spectrum of a ring) and study the resulting spaces.

We introduce a path-dependent hamiltonian representation (the path representation) for SU(2) with fermions in 3 + 1 dimensions. The gauge-invariant operators and hamiltonian are realized in a Hilbert space of open path and loop functionals.…

In Part I we gave a polynomial growth lower-bound for the number of nodal domains of a Hecke-Maass cuspform in a compact part of the modular surface, assuming a Lindel\"of hypothesis. That was a consequence of a topological argument and…

Let $S$ be a closed surface of genus $g$. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between hyperbolic cone-structure on $S$ and representations of the fundamental group into $\text{PSL}_2\Bbb R$. We consider surfaces of genus greater…

The aim of this paper and its sequel is to introduce and classify the holonomy algebras of the projective Tractor connection. After a brief historical background, this paper presents and analyses the projective Cartan and Tractor…

We obtain a complete description of collections of n conjugacy classes in SU(2) with the property that the multiplication map from the product of these n conjugacy classes to SU(2) is surjective. The basic instrument is a characterization…

There is a canonical identification, due to the author, of a convex real projective structure on an orientable surface of genus g and a pair consisting of a conformal structure together with a holomorphic cubic differential on the surface.…

We describe the dynamics of a group $\Gamma$ generated by Dehn twists along two filling multi-curves or a family of filling curves on the SU(2)-representation variety of closed surfaces. Consequently, we provide explicit $\Gamma$-invariant…

We generate SU(2) lattice gauge fields at finite temperature and cool them in order to characterize the two phases by the occurrence of specific classical solutions.We apply two kinds of spatial boundary conditions: fixed holonomy and…

We investigate irreducible components of the fixed point sets of $ SL(2,\mathbb{C}) $-character variety of the genus two surface group under orientation preserving actions of the finite groups of the $ Mod(\Sigma_{2}) $. We work in the $…

In many cases, topological excitations become fundamental variables in a dual formulation of the theory. Assuming this is true in case of SU(2) gluodynamics, we look for hints on the dual variables from the lattice simulations.…

Let $S$ be a closed oriented surface of genus at least two. Gallo, Kapovich, and Marden asked if 2\pi-graftings produce all projective structures on $S$ with arbitrarily fixed holonomy (Grafting Conjecture). In this paper, we show that the…

We investigate the structure of the automorphism of $\mathcal{O}_{2}$ which exchanges the two canonical isometries. Our main observation is that the fixed point C*-subalgebra for this action is isomorphic to $\mathcal{O}_{2}$ and we detail…

The group action which defines the moduli problem for the deformation space of flat affine structures on the two-torus is the action of the affine group $\Aff(2)$ on $\bbR^2$. Since this action has non-compact stabiliser $\GL(2,\bbR)$, the…

We consider fibrations of genus 2 over complex surfaces. The purpose of this paper is primarily to provide a geometric description of the possible structures of the fibration on a neighborhood of a singular fiber. In particular it is shown…

We study how a gluing construction, which produces compact manifolds with holonomy G_2 from matching pairs of asymptotically cylindrical G_2-manifolds, behaves under deformations. We show that the gluing construction defines a smooth map…

We present an algorithm for the computation of the topological type of a real compact Riemann surface associated to an algebraic curve, i.e., its genus and the properties of the set of fixed points of the anti-holomorphic involution $\tau$,…
