Let $X$ be a smooth proper genus 2 curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. The absolute Frobenius induces a rational map $F$ on the the moduli space $M\_X$ of semi-stable rank 2 vector bundles over $X$, which is…
This thesis contains results relevant for two different classes of conformal field theory. We partly treat rational conformal field theory, but also derive results that aim at a better understanding of logarithmic conformal field theory.…
Let $X$ be a projective curve of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. The Frobenius map on X induces a rational map on the moduli space of rank-2 bundles. We show that up to isomorphism, there is only one (up to…
A theorem of Gerald Schwarz [24, Thm. 1] says that for a linear action of a compact Lie group $G$ on a finite dimensional real vector space $V$ any smooth $G$-invariant function on $V$ can be written as a composite with the Hilbert map. We…
This paper studies graded manifolds with local coordinates concentrated in non-negative degrees. We provide a canonical description of these objects in terms of classical geometric data and, building on this geometric viewpoint, we prove…
We present a new formulation of some basic differential geometric notions on a smooth manifold M, in the setting of nonstandard analysis. In place of classical vector fields, for which one needs to construct the tangent bundle of M, we…
Consider a finite family $\{f_1,\dots,f_\nu\}$ of $C^\infty$ vector fields on a $n$-dimensional ($n\in\mathbb{N}$), smooth manifold $\mathcal{M}$. The celebrated Rashevskii-Chow theorem states that, provided the vector fields…
In this paper we study the problem of approximation of the $L^2$-topological invariants by their finite dimensional analogues. We obtain generalizations of the theorem of L\"uck, dealing with towers of finitely sheeted normal coverings. We…
Flows on surfaces are one of the most fundamental and classical objects in dynamical systems, and are studied from various areas (e.g. integrable systems, differential equations, fluid mechanics). Though hyperbolic flows and recurrent flows…
Using methods from symplectic topology, we prove existence of invariant variational measures associated to the flow $\phi_H$ of a Hamiltonian $H\in C^{\infty}(M)$ on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$. These measures coincide with Mather…
It is shown that the canonical formulation of the abelian BF theory in D = 3 allows to obtain topological invariants associated to curves and points in the plane. The method consists on finding the Hamiltonian on-shell of the theory coupled…
Let \pi : V \rightarrow M be a (real or holomorphic) vector bundle whose base has an almost Frobenius structure (\circ_{M},e_{M}, g_{M}) and typical fiber has the structure of a Frobenius algebra (\circ_{V},e_{V},g_{V}). Using a connection…
We analyze the deformation theory of equivariant vector bundles. In particular, we provide an effective criterion for verifying whether all infinitesimal deformations preserve the equivariant structure. As an application, using rigidity of…
We develop a generalisation of the original theory of regularity structures, [Hai14], which is able to treat SPDEs on manifolds with values in vector bundles. Assume $M$ is a Riemannian manifold and $E\to M$ and $F^i\to M$ are vector…
Let T -> S be a finite flat morphism of degree two between regular integral schemes of dimension at most two (and with 2 invertible), having regular branch divisor D. We establish a bijection between Azumaya quaternion algebras on T and…
Based on the modular functor associated with a -- not necessarily semisimple -- finite non-degenerate ribbon category $\mathcal D$, we present a definition of a consistent system of bulk field correlators for a conformal field theory which…
We investigate the behavior of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity with respect to some classical functors : Tor, the Frobenius functor in positive characteristic, taking a power or a product (on ideals). These generalizes and refines previous…
Suppose B=F[x,y,z]/h is the homogeneous coordinate ring of a characteristic p degree 3 irreducible plane curve C with a node. Let J be a homogeneous (x,y,z)-primary ideal and n -> e_n be the Hilbert-Kunz function of B with respect to J. Let…
In the class of Sobolev vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of bounded divergence, for which the theory of DiPerna and Lions provides a well defined notion of flow, we characterize the vector fields whose flow commute in terms of the Lie…
