Let G be a finite group, and let E be a generalised cohomology theory, subject to certain technical conditions. We study a certain ring C(E,G) that is the best possible approximation to E^0BG that can be built using only knowledge of the…

Extending the works arXiv:1504.05991 and arXiv:1510.02142, we study three dimensional Euclidean higher spin gravity with negative cosmological constant. This theory can be formulated in terms of SL(N,C) Chern-Simons theory. By introducing…

Let $\pi\colon P\to M$ be a principal bundle and $p$ an invariant polynomial of degree r on the Lie algebra of the structure group. The theory of Chern-Simons differential characters is exploited to define an homology map $\chi^{k} :…

With the goal of constructing the supersymmetric action for all fields, massless and massive, obtained by Kaluza-Klein compactification from type II theory or M-theory in a closed form, we embed the (Abelian) tensor hierarchy of p-forms in…

A detailed study is made of super elliptic curves, namely super Riemann surfaces of genus one considered as algebraic varieties, particularly their relation with their Picard groups. This is the simplest setting in which to study the…

The so-called multilayer wave functions were introduced in the study of the fractional Quantum Hall effect by Halperin and others. They are defined with the help of a symmetric matrix $K$ in $M^k(\mathbb{N})$, which encodes the couplings…

We construct a quasi-inverse of the cochain map on the negative cyclic complexes of the second kind induced from the quasi-Yoneda embedding on a curved dg algebra. This gives an explicit formula for the Chern character of a perfect module.

We prove an explicit formula for the total Chern character of the Verlinde bundle over the moduli space of pointed stable curves in terms of tautological classes. The Chern characters of the Verlinde bundles define a semisimple CohFT (the…

Quasi-periodic quantum spin chains were recently found to support many topological phases in the finite magnetization sectors. They can simulate strong topological phases from class A in arbitrary dimension that are characterized by first…

In this paper we discuss some questions about geometry over the field with one element, motivated by the properties of algebraic varieties that arise in perturbative quantum field theory. We follow the approach to F1-geometry based on…

We develop a theory of ``ad hoc'' Chern characters for twisted matrix factorizations associated to a scheme $X$, a line bundle ${\mathcal L}$, and a regular global section $W \in \Gamma(X, {\mathcal L})$. As an application, we establish the…

We consider topological field theories that compute the Reidemeister-Milnor-Turaev torsion in three dimensions. These are the psl(1|1) and the U(1|1) Chern-Simons theories, coupled to a background complex flat gauge field. We use the 3d…
