We consider a recently proposed extension of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs algebra to include arbitrary infinitesimal diffeomorphisms on a (2)-sphere. To realize this extended algebra as asymptotic symmetries, we work with an extended class of…
We show that noncommutative differential forms on $k[x]$, $k$ a field, are of the form $\Omega^1=k_\lambda[x]$ where $k_\lambda\supset k$ is a field extension. We compute the case $C\supset R$ explicitly, where $\Omega^1$ is 2-dimensional.…
We consider the noncommutative space $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$, a deformation of the algebra of functions on $\mathbb{R}^3$ which yields a foliation of $\mathbb{R}^3$ into fuzzy spheres. We first review the construction of a natural matrix…
In the holomorphic or algebraic setting we consider a vector bundle E on a smooth subvariety X in a smooth variety Y over a field of characteristic zero. Assuming E extends to the l-th neighborhood of X in Y, we study cohomological…
$W(a,b)$ and $W(a,b;\bar{a},\bar{b})$ algebras are deformations of ${\mathfrak{bms}_3}$ and ${\mathfrak{bms}_4}$ algebra respectively. We present an $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric extension of $W(a,b)$ and $W(a,b;\bar{a},\bar{b})$ algebra…
As shown by Ashtekar in the mid 80's, general relativity can be extended to incorporate degenerate metrics. This extension is not unique, however, as one can change the form of the hamiltonian constraints and obtain an {\it alternative}…
We show that the deformations of Virasoro and super Virasoro algebra, constructed earlier on an abstract mathematical background, emerge after Wick rotation, within an exact treatment of discrete-time free field models on a circle. The…
We discuss the deformed sigma-model that arises when considering four-dimensional N=2 abelian vector multiplets in the presence of an arbitrary chiral background field. In addition, we allow for a class of deformations of special geometry…
Motivated by the study of branes in curved backgrounds, we investigate the construction of non-perturbative extensions of the super-isometry algebra osp*(8|4) of the AdS_7xS^4 background of M-theory. This algebra is not a subalgebra of…
A one parameter set of noncommutative complex algebras is given. These may be considered deformation quantisation algebras. The commutative limit of these algebras correspond to the algebra of polynomial functions over a manifold or…
In this paper, we consider real and complex algebras as well as algebras over general fields. In Section 2, we revisit and prove several results on (quadratic) algebras over general fields. As an example, we demonstrate that a quadratic…
This letter explores a transition in the type of von Neumann algebra for asymptotically AdS spacetimes from the implementations of the different gravitational constraints. We denote it as the \emph{centaur-algebra} of observables. In the…
Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more…
We continue our study, initiated in our earlier paper, of Riemann surfaces with constant curvature and isolated conic singularities. Using the machinery developed in that earlier paper of extended configuration families of simple divisors,…
We study the envelopes of meromorphy of neighborhoods of symplectically immersed two-spheres in complex K\"ahler surfaces using the Gromov's theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. The construction of a complete family of holomorphic…
In this paper, we consider associative algebras equipped with derivations. A pair consisting of an associative algebra and a distinguished derivation is called an AssDer pair. We study central extensions and formal one-parameter…
We determine the universal central extension of the Lie algebra of hamiltonian vector fields, thereby classifying its central extensions. Furthermore, we classify the central extensions of the Lie algebra of symplectic vector fields, of the…
The Heisenberg algebra is deformed with the set of parameters ${q, l,\lambda}$ to generate a new family of generalized coherent states respecting the Klauder criteria. In this framework, the matrix elements of relevant operators are exactly…
Certain dissipative physical systems closely resemble Hamiltonian systems in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, but with the canonical equation for one of the variables in each conjugate pair rescaled by a real parameter. To generalise these dynamical…
Motivated by the theory of graph limits, we introduce and study the convergence and limits of linear representations of finite groups over finite fields. The limit objects are infinite dimensional representations of free groups in…
