We study a class of weakly conformal $3$-harmonic maps, called associative Smith maps, from $3$-manifolds into $7$-manifolds that parametrize associative $3$-folds in Riemannian $7$-manifolds equipped with $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures.…

We develop a general formalism to study the three-point correlation functions of conserved higher-spin supercurrent multiplets $J_{\alpha(r) \dot{\alpha}(r)}$ in 4D ${\cal N}=1$ superconformal theory. All the constraints imposed by ${\cal…
The recent notion of $q$-deformed irrational numbers is characterized by the invariance with respect to the action of the modular group $\PSL(2,\Z)$, or equivalently under the Burau representation of the braid group~$B_3$. The theory of…
Conformal blocks for correlation functions of tensor operators play an increasingly important role for the conformal bootstrap programme. We develop a universal approach to such spinning blocks through the harmonic analysis of certain…
There are three generalizations of the Platonic solids that exist in all dimensions, namely the hypertetrahedron, the hypercube, and the hyperoctahedron, with the latter two being dual. Conformal field theories with the associated symmetry…
We investigate symmetry-breaking phenomena in semilinear elliptic systems on the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^3$, focusing on the emergence of non-radial solution branches with prescribed spatial and internal symmetries. Extending previous…
In this thesis the Cauchy problem and in particular the question of singularity formation for co--rotational wave maps from 3+1 Minkowski space to the three--sphere $S^3$ is studied. Numerics indicate that self--similar solutions of this…
A world-volume model of non-critical 3-brane is quantized in a strong coupling phase where fluctuations of the conformal mode become dominant. This phase, called the conformal-mode dominant phase, is realized at the very high energy far…
This paper studies the dynamical behavior near a new family of explicit self-similar solutions for the one dimensional Born-Infeld equation. This quasilinear scalar field equation arises from nonlinear electromagnetism, as well as branes in…
We examine anomalous dimensions of higher spin currents in the critical O(N) scalar model and the Gross-Neveu model in arbitrary d dimensions. These two models are proposed to be dual to the type A and type B Vasiliev theories,…
We describe blowups of C^n/Z_n orbifolds as complex line bundles over CP^{n-1}. We construct some gauge bundles on these resolutions. Apart from the standard embedding, we describe U(1) bundles and an SU(n-1) bundle. Both blowups and their…
