The fusion of two Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles is a degeneration of their product, defined using the Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian. In this paper, we put in place a conceptually elementary approach to computing this product in type $A$. We do…
We derive a number of results related to the Gaudin model associated to the simple Lie algebra of type G$_2$. We compute explicit formulas for solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations associated to the tensor product of an arbitrary…
Modular categories are a well-known source of quantum 3-manifold invariants. In this paper we study structures on modular categories which allow to define refinements of quantum 3-manifold invariants involving cohomology classes or…
Weighted V-line transforms map a symmetric tensor field of order $m\ge0$ to a linear combination of certain integrals of those fields along two rays emanating from the same vertex. A significant focus of current research in integral…
We study consequences and applications of the folklore statement that every double complex over a field decomposes into so-called squares and zigzags. This result makes questions about the associated cohomology groups and spectral sequences…
Given a topological modular functor $\mathcal{V}$ in the sense of Walker \cite{Walker}, we construct vector bundles over $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, whose Chern classes define semi-simple cohomological field theories. This construction…
We analyze the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravity with $M \times M$ matrix valued fields, which is given by rectangular W-algebras with su$(M)$ symmetry. The matrix valued extension is expected to be useful for the relation between…
We analyse the moduli spaces of superconformal field theories (SCFTs). For N=2 we find an enhanced moduli space which in geometrical terms corresponds to tori with two independent complex structures. To explain the precise relation with the…
We continue the study of positive geometries underlying the {\it Grassmannian string integrals}, which are a class of "stringy canonical forms", or stringy integrals, over the positive Grassmannian mod torus action, $G_+(k,n)/T$. The…
Work is reported on finite integral representations for 2-loop massive 2-, 3- and 4-point functions, using orthogonal and parallel space variables. It is shown that this can be utilized to cover particles with arbitrary spin (tensor…
Orientifold vacua allow the simultaneous presence of supersymmetric bulks, with one or more gravitinos, and non-supersymmetric combinations of BPS branes. This ``brane supersymmetry breaking'' raises the issue of consistency for the…
In this paper we study finite dimensional algebras, in particular finite semifields, through their correspondence with nonsingular threefold tensors. We introduce a alternative embedding of the tensor product space into a projective space.…
We develop a unified categorical framework for gauging both continuous and finite symmetries in arbitrary spacetime dimensions. Our construction applies to geometric categories i.e. categories internal to stacks. This generalizes the…
The Wirtinger integral is one of the integral representations of the Gauss hypergeometric function. Its integrand is given by a product of complex powers of theta functions. We study the structure of the twisted homology and cohomology…
Dynamic equations that are the simplest conformally invariant generalization of Einstein equations with cosmological term are considered. Dimensions and Weyl weights of the additional geometrical fields (the vector and the antisymmetric…
The cosine transforms of functions on the unit sphere play an important role in convex geometry, the Banach space theory, stochastic geometry and other areas. Their higher-rank generalization to Grassmann manifolds represents an interesting…
The primary aim of this thesis is to investigate metrics which are induced by a differential form and arise as a critical point of Hitchin's variational principle. Firstly, we investigate metrics associated with the structure group PSU(3)…
We start an analysis of geometric properties of a structure relative to a reduct. In particular, we look at definability of groups and fields in this context. In the relatively one-based case, every definable group is isogenous to a…

The geometry of spaces with indefinite inner product, known also as Krein spaces, is a basic tool for developing Operator Theory therein. In the present paper we establish a link between this geometry and the algebraic theory of…
