It is expected that the periodic cyclic homology of a DG algebra over the field of complex numbers (and, more generally, the periodic cyclic homology of a DG category) carries a lot of additional structure similar to the mixed Hodge…
The recent interest in the study of higher-rank polynomial algebras related to $n$-dimensional classical and quantum superintegrable systems with coalgebra symmetry and their connection with the generalised Racah algebra $R(n)$, a…
In this paper we show that non abelian extensions of an associative algebra $\mathcal{B}$ by an associative algebra $\mathcal{A}$ can be viewed as Maurer-Cartan elements of a suitable differential graded Lie algebra $L$. In particular we…
Borrowing ideas from the relation between classical and quantum mechanics, we study a non-commutative elevation of the ADE geometries involved in building Calabi-Yau manifolds. We derive the corresponding geometric hamiltonians and the…
We give a general construction for finite dimensional representations of $U_q(\hat{\G})$ where $\hat{\G}$ is a non-twisted affine Kac-Moody algebra with no derivation and zero central charge. At $q=1$ this is trivial because…
We formulate the (co)bar construction theory of dg $K$-(co)rings and the calculus theory of the Hochschild homology and cohomology of dg $K$-rings. As applications, we compare the Hochschild (co)homologies of a complete typical dg $K$-ring…
A Poincar\'e Van den Bergh duality theorem for strong Kc-Calabi-Yau algebras was obtained by R. Taillefer and the first author under the assumption that the derived functors of functors involved in the statement exist. We prove the…
This is a survey of the Kawamata-Morrison cone conjecture on the structure of Calabi-Yau varieties and more generally Calabi-Yau pairs. We discuss the proof of the cone conjecture for algebraic surfaces, with plenty of examples. We show…
Bell and Zhang have shown that if $A$ and $B$ are two connected graded algebras finitely generated in degree one that are isomorphic as ungraded algebras, then they are isomorphic as graded algebras. We exploit this result to solve the…
We study a multi-parametric family of quadratic algebras in four generators, which includes coordinate algebras of noncommutative four-planes and, as quotient algebras, noncommutative three spheres. Particular subfamilies comprise Sklyanin…
We study topological strings on non-commutative resolutions of singular Calabi-Yau threefolds that are double covers of $\mathbb{P}^3$, ramified over determinantal octic surfaces. Using conifold transitions to complete intersections in…
We show that the Ocneanu algebra of quantum symmetries, for an ADE diagram (or for higher Coxeter-Dynkin systems, like the Di Francesco - Zuber system) is, in most cases, deduced from the structure of the modular T matrix in the A series.…
In arXiv:math/0606241v2 M. Kontsevich and Y. Soibelman argue that the category of noncommutative (thin) schemes is equivalent to the category of coalgebras. We propose that under this correspondence the affine scheme of a k-algebra A is the…
We study some arithmetic properties of the mirror maps and the quantum Yukawa coupling for some 1-parameter deformations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. First we use the Schwarzian differential equation, which we derived previously, to…
We introduce a class of dg-algebras which generalize the classical Brauer graph algebras. They are constructed from mixed-angulations of surfaces and often admit a (relative) Calabi--Yau structure. We discovered these algebras through two…
The Calabi-Yau property of cocommutative Hopf algebras is discussed by using the homological integral, a recently introduced tool for studying infinite dimensional AS-Gorenstein Hopf algebras. It is shown that the skew-group algebra of a…
This paper continues the authors' program of studying mirror symmetry via log geometry and toric degenerations, relating affine manifolds with singularities, log Calabi-Yau spaces, and toric degenerations of Calabi-Yaus. The main focus of…
We study the gauging of a discrete $\mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry in the five-dimensional superconformal $T_N$ theories. We argue that this leads to an infinite sequence of five-dimensional superconformal theories with either $E_6 \times SU(N)$ or…
In this work, we study the classification of differential graded algebras over $\mathbb{Z}$ (DGAs) whose homology is $\mathbb{F}_p[x]$, i.e. the polynomial algebra over $\mathbb{F}_p$ on a single generator. This classification problem was…
We show that the algebra $D_\hbar(SL_n/U)$ of differential operators on the base affine space of $SL_n$ is the quantized Coulomb branch of a certain 3d $\mathcal{N} = 4$ quiver gauge theory. In the semiclassical limit this proves a…
