In this paper we give a detailed proof of the classification of extremal (=massless) unitary highest weight representations in the Neveu Schwarz and Ramond sectors of the big $N=4$ superconformal algebra which can be found in [5]. Our…
For an irreducible complex reflection group $W$ of rank $n$ containing $N$ reflections, we put $g=2N/n$ and construct a $(g+1)^n$-dimensional irreducible representation of the Cherednik algebra which is (as a vector space) a quotient of the…
In these lectures, we discuss some well-known facts about Clifford algebras: matrix representations, Cartan's periodicity of 8, double coverings of orthogonal groups by spin groups, Dirac equation in different formalisms, spinors in $n$…
In this article, we use deformation theory of Galois representations valued in the symplectic group of degree four to prove a freeness result for the cohomology of certain quaternionic unitary Shimura variety over the universal deformation…
In the present paper we introduce and study a new notion of toric manifold in the quaternionic setting. We develop a construction with which, starting from appropriate $m$-dimensional Delzant polytopes, we obtain manifolds of real dimension…
Let $A$ be an abelian surface over $\mathbb{Q}$ whose geometric endomorphism ring is a maximal order in a non-split quaternion algebra. Inspired by Mazur's theorem for elliptic curves, we show that the torsion subgroup of $A(\mathbb{Q})$ is…
We construct a covariant generating function for the spectrum of chiral primaries of symmetric orbifold conformal field theories with N=(4,4) supersymmetry in two dimensions. For seed target spaces K3 and T4, the generating functions…
Superspace is considered as space of parameters of the supercoherent states defining the basis for oscillator-like unitary irreducible representations of the generalized superconformal group SU(2m,2n/2N) in the field of quaternions H. The…
We study the geometry and arithmetic of the curves $C \colon y^3 = x^4 + ax^2 + b$ and their associated Prym abelian surfaces $P$. We prove a Torelli theorem in this context and give a geometric proof of the fact that $P$ has quaternionic…
The unitary Clifford algebras are described here for the first time, and arise from the intersection of the orthogonal and common symplectic (Weyl) Clifford algebras of the complexification of the canonical phase space. The convergence of…
We study the representation theory of the invariant subalgebra of the Weyl algebra under a torus action, which we call a "hypertoric enveloping algebra." We define an analogue of BGG category O for this algebra, and identify it with a…
Recent studies (arXiv:1610.07916, arXiv:1711.07921, arXiv:1807.00186) of six-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories that are engineered by a class of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds $X_{N,M}$, have uncovered a vast web of dualities. In this…
Let $L$ be a number field and let $E/L$ be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$. We use class field theory and results of Skorobogatov and Zarhin to…
Brane tilings provide the most general framework in string and M-theory for matching toric Calabi-Yau singularities probed by branes with superconformal fixed points of quiver gauge theories. The brane tiling data consists of a bipartite…
Quaternionic automorphic representations are one attempt to generalize to other groups the special place holomorphic modular forms have among automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2$. Here, we use "hyperendoscopy" techniques to…
We describe an approach to classifying four-dimensional conformal field theories with N=2 supersymmetry and a Coulomb branch of vacua with the topology of the complex plane. We also discuss the Higgs/mixed branches and conformal/flavor…
We consider N=1 SU(N_c) gauge theory with an adjoint matter field $\Phi$, N_f flavors of fundamentals Q and antifundamentals \tQ, and tree-level superpotential of the form $\tQ\Phi^l Q$. This superpotential is relevant or marginal for…
The theory of representations of Clifford algebras is extended to employ the division algebra of the octonions or Cayley numbers. In particular, questions that arise from the non-associativity and non-commutativity of this division algebra…
Pauli matrices are 2x2 tracefree matrices with a real diagonal and complex (complex-conjugate) off-diagonal entries. They generate the Clifford algebra Cl(3). They can be generalised by replacing the off-diagonal complex number by one…
We consider large-R-charge Coulomb branch correlation functions in $\mathcal{N} = 2$ superconformal QCD in D=4 dimensions, with gauge group $SU(2)$ and $N_f = 4$ hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Using information from…
