In this paper, based on the author's lectures at the 1995 les Houches Summer school, explicit expressions for the Friedan--Shenker connection on the vector bundle of WZW conformal blocks on the moduli space of curves with tangent vectors at…
For any gauge theory, there may be a subgroup of the gauge group which acts trivially on the matter content. While many physical observables are not sensitive to this fact, the identification of the precise gauge group becomes crucial when…
Let $X$ be a simply connected rational elliptic space of formal dimension $n$ and let $\E(X)$ denote the group of homotopy classes of self-equivalences of $X$. If $X^{[k]}$ denotes the $k^{\text{th}}$ Postikov section of $X$ and $X^{k}$…
This is the third part of a series of papers discussing the cyclic torsion subgroup of elliptic curves over cubic number fields. For $N=39$, we show that $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ is not a subgroup of $E(K)_{tor}$ for any elliptic curve $E$…
The elliptic associator of Enriquez can be used to define an invariant of tangles embedded in the thickened torus, which extends the Kontsevich integral. This construction by Humbert uses the formulation of categories with elliptic…
If P \to X is a topological principal K-bundle and \hat K a central extension of K by Z, then there is a natural obstruction class \delta_1(P) in \check H^2(X,\uline Z) in sheaf cohomology whose vanishing is equivalent to the existence of a…
Kolyvagin proved that the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve over Q of analytic rank 0 or 1 is finite, and that its algebraic rank is equal to its analytic rank. A program of generalisation of this result to the case of some…
We compare and generalise the various geometric constructions (due to Ringel, Lusztig, Schofield, Bozec, Davison...) of the unipotent generalised Kac-Moody algebra associated with an arbitrary quiver. These constructions are interconnected…
The elliptic gamma function is a generalization of the Euler gamma function and is associated to an elliptic curve. Its trigonometric and rational degenerations are the Jackson q-gamma function and the Euler gamma function, respectively.…
Bachet elliptic curves are the curves y^2=x^3+a^3 and in this work the group structure E(F_{p}) of these curves over finite fields F_{p} is considered. It is shown that there are two possible structures E(F_{p}){\cong}C_{p+1} or…
It had been known since old times [MO, Da] that there exists a universal finite type invariant ("an expansion") Z^{old} for Knotted Trivalent Graphs (KTGs), and that it can be chosen to intertwine between some of the standard operations on…
Consider a fibered power of an elliptic surface. We characterize its subvarieties that contain a Zariski dense set of points that are torsion points in fibers with complex multiplication. This result can be viewed as a mix of the…
We study GKZ-type D-modules arising from the actions of commutative linear algebraic groups G = TU (where T is a torus and U is unipotent) on a vector space. Building on Hotta's equivariant D-module framework, we formalize a Fourier-orbit…
We show that the KZB connection on the punctured torus and on the configuration space of points of the punctured torus can be constructed via the homotopy transfer theorem.
We show that there is essentially a unique elliptic curve $E$ defined over a cubic Galois extension $K$ of $\mathbb Q$ with a $K$-rational point of order 13 and such that $E$ is not defined over $\mathbb Q$.
We consider N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with a simple classical gauge group, one adjoint $\Phi, N_f$ pairs ($Q_i,\tilde{Q_i}$) of (fundamental, anti-fundamental) and a tree-level superpotential with terms of the Landau-Ginzburg form…
Anabelian geometry with etale homotopy types generalizes in a natural way classical anabelian geometry with etale fundamental groups. We show that, both in the classical and the generalized sense, any point of a smooth variety over a field…
Using quasiclassical limit of Baxter's 8 - vertex R - matrix, an elliptic generalization of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation is constructed. Via Off-Shell Bethe ansatz an integrable representation for this equation is obtained. It is…
Let $\Gamma \subset \mathbf{PU}(2,1)$ be a lattice which is not co-compact, of finite Bergman-covolume and acting freely on the open unit ball $\mathbf{B} \subset \mathbb{C}^2$. Then the compactification $X = \bar{\Gamma \setminus…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve. When the symmetric group $\Sigma_{g+1}$ of order $(g+1)!$ acts on $E^{g+1}$ in the natural way, the subgroup $E_0^{g+1}$, consisting of those $(g+1)$-tuples whose coordinates sum to zero, is stable under the…
