If the vacuum manifold of a field theory has the appropriate topological structure, the theory admits topological structures analogous to the D-branes of string theory, in which defects of one dimension terminate on other defects of higher…
We prove the following theorem: let $\widetilde{\mathcal R}$ be an expansion of the real field $\overline{\mathbb R}$, such that every definable set (I) is a uniform countable union of semialgebraic sets, and (II) contains a "semialgebraic…
Let R be a sufficiently saturated o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, let O be the convex hull of the rationals in R, and let st: O^n \to \mathbb{R}^n be the standard part map. For X \subseteq R^n define st(X):=st(X \cap O^n). We…
This paper investigates mapping spaces between enriched operads and relates these spaces to those between operadic bimodules via convenient fiber sequences. The main statements hold for simplicial operads, operads enriched in simplicial…
The direct string computation of anomalous D-brane and orientifold plane couplings is extended to include the curvature of the normal bundle. The normalization of these terms is fixed unambiguously. New, non-anomalous gravitational…
We discuss supernear spaces.
We study D-branes in topologically twisted N=2 minimal models using the Landau-Ginzburg realization. In the cases of A and D-type minimal models we provide what we believe is an exhaustive list of topological branes and compute the…
We review in elementary, non-technical terms the description of topological B-type of D-branes in terms of boundary Landau-Ginzburg theory, as well as some applications.
We investigate the mathematical structure of the world sheet in two-dimensional conformal field theories.
We work over an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field R. Given a closed simplicial complex K and a finite number of definable subsets of its realization |K| in R we prove that there exists a triangulation (K',f) of |K| compatible with…
In this note we present a natural generalization of the minimum angle condition, commonly used in the finite element analysis for planar triangulations, to the case of simplicial meshes in any space dimension. The equivalence of this…
In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…
We review various aspects of two dimensional conformal field theories paying close attention to the algebraic structures that intervene. We provide a compact description regarding the appearance of a chiral algebra as the symmetry algebra…
In a recent paper we have proposed the possibility that the lightest massive string states could be identified with open strings living at intersections of D-branes forming small angles. In this note, we reconsider the relevant twist-field…
We study natural D-modules on the moduli stack of elliptic curves over a field of characteristic zero. We use this to produce an algebro-geometric version of the algebra of higher depth mock modular forms, studied from a Conformal Field…
Generalizing John Conway's construction of the Field On_2, we give the "minimal" definitions of addition and multiplication that turn the ordinals into a Field of characteristic p, for any prime p. We then analyze the structure of the…
We give a classification of non-orthogonality classes of trivial order 1 strongly minimal sets in differentially closed fields. A central idea is the introduction of $\tau$-forms, functions on the prolongation of a variety which are…
In this thesis three topics on the model theory of partial differential fields are considered: the generalized Galois theory for partial differential fields, geometric axioms for the theory of partial differentially closed fields, and the…
We investigate the cardinality $\mathfrak n_{\dim}(\mathcal M)$ of the sets of dimension functions on weakly o-minimal structures $\mathcal M$ admitting strong cell decomposition.
In this paper, we undertake a systematic model and valuation theoretic study of the class of ordered fields which are dense in their real closure. We apply this study to determine definable henselian valuations on ordered fields, in the…
