We derive a formula for the Chern classes of the bundles of conformal blocks on \bar{M}_{0,n} associated to simple finite dimensional Lie algebras and explore its consequences in more detail for sl_2 and in general for level 1. We also give…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the simple undirected graph whose vertex set is $G$, in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if one of them is an integral power of the other. For an integer $n\geq 2$, let $C_n$…

We study 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Chern-Simons (CS) quiver theories on $S^3$ and ${\Sigma}_{\mathfrak{g}}\times S^1$. Using localization results, we examine their partition functions in the large rank limit and requiring the resulting matrix…

We expose a K-theoretic approach to study group C*-algebras and C*-algebraic compact quantum groups: 1. The conception of multidimensional geometric quantization and the index of group C*-algebras; 2. the entire homology of noncommutative…

It has been argued by Witten and others that in the presence of a nontrivial B-field, D-brane charges in type IIB string theories are measured by twisted K-theory. In joint work with Bouwknegt, Carey and Murray it was proved that twisted…

This paper describes the $K$-theory structure for three algebra classes. For cyclic $p$-group rings and truncated polynomial rings over $\mathbb{Z}/p^s\mathbb{Z}$, we determine reduced $K_2$-structures via a common algebraic framework. For…

In a recent paper by K.-H. Lee, K. Lee and M. Mills, a mutation of reflections in the universal Coxeter group is defined in association with a mutation of a quiver. A matrix representation of these reflections is determined by a linear…

We show that for smooth complex projective varieties the most general combinations of chern numbers that are invariant under the K-equivalence relation consist of the complex elliptic genera. Combined with a recent result of Totaro, we…

We introduce the chain geometry $\Sigma(K,R)$ over a ring $R$ with a distinguished subfield $K$, thus extending the usual concept where $R$ has to be an algebra over $K$. A chain is uniquely determined by three of its points, if, and only…

In this manuscript, it is shown that the group of $K_1$-zero-cycles on the second generalized Severi-Brauer variety of an algebra $A$ of index 4 is given by elements of the group $K_1(A)$ together with a square-root of their reduced norm.…

The Quantum Modularity Conjecture of Zagier predicts the existence of a formal power series with arithmetically interesting coefficients that appears in the asymptotics of the Kashaev invariant at each root of unity. Our goal is to…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. For $m\geq n$, we define $\tau_{m,n,k}$ to be the set of $m\times n$ matrices over $K$ with kernel dimension $\geq k$. This is a projective subvariety of $\bbP^{mn-1}$, and is…

The Chern--Simons term is used in the geometric theory of defects. The equilibrium equations with $\delta$-function source are explicitly solved with respect to the $SO(3)$ connection. This solution describes one straight linear…

A $k$-path is a hypergraph P_k = e_1,e_2,...,e_k such that |e_i \cap e_j| = 1 if |j - i| = 1 and e_i \cap e_j is empty otherwise. A k-cycle is a hypergraph C_k = e_1,e_2,.. ,e_k obtained from a (k-1)-path e_1,e_2,...,e_{k-1} by adding an…

We study the "quantized calculus" corresponding to the algebraic ideas related to "twisted cyclic cohomology" introduced in [KMT]. With very similar definitions and techniques as those used in [jlo], we define and study "twisted entire…

Classically the Chern-classes of a locally free coherent A-module W are defined using the curvature of a connection. If we more generally consider the problem of defining Chern-classes where W is a coherent A-module, a connection might not…

The order of a constant cycle curve $C \subset X$ on a K3 surface, defined by Huybrechts, is a positive integer that measures the obstruction to decomposing the diagonal class $\Delta_C$ in the Chow group $\mathrm{CH}^2(X \times C)$. In…

We develop a general procedure, based on the renormalized eta-cochain, which allows to find local representatives of the bivariant Chern character of finitely summable quasihomomorphisms. In particular, using zeta-function renormalization…

We define N-theory being some analogue of K-theory on the category of von Neumann algebras such that $K_0(A)\subset N_0(A)$ for any von Neumann algebra A. Moreover, it turns out to be possible to construct the extension of the Chern…

Quantum gravity is expected to gauge all global symmetries of effective theories, in the ultraviolet. Inspired by this expectation, we explore the consequences of gauging CPT as a quantum boundary condition in phase space. We find that it…
