We study and relate categories of modules, comodules and contramodules over a representation of a small category taking values in (co)algebras, in a manner similar to modules over a ringed space. As a result, we obtain a categorical…

We show that a structural matrix algebra $A$ is isomorphic to the endomorphism algebra of an algebraic-combinatorial object called a generalized flag. If the flag is equipped with a group grading, an algebra grading is induced on $A$. We…

Following a recent work of Dolan and Osborn, we consider superconformal indices of four dimensional ${\mathcal N}=1$ supersymmetric field theories related by an electric-magnetic duality with the SP(2N) gauge group and fixed rank flavour…

We argue that one can factorize the difference equation of hypergeometric type on the nonuniform lattices in general case. It is shown that in the most cases of q-linear spectrum of the eigenvalues this directly leads to the dynamical…

Let $N(\Gamma,G)$ be the number of homomorphisms from $\Gamma$ to $G$ up to conjugation by $G$. Physics of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories predicts that $N(\Gamma,G)=N(\Gamma , \tilde G)$ when $\Gamma$ is a…

A number of models of linear logic are based on or closely related to linear algebra, in the sense that morphisms are "matrices" over appropriate coefficient sets. Examples include models based on coherence spaces, finiteness spaces and…

For convex co-compact subgroups of SL2(Z) we consider the "congruence subgroups" for p prime. We prove a factorization formula for the Selberg zeta function in term of L-functions related to irreducible representations of the Galois group…

We systematically classify all possible poles of superconformal blocks as a function of the scaling dimension of intermediate operators, for all superconformal algebras in dimensions three and higher. This is done by working out the…

We prove that every holomorphic symplectic matrix can be factorized as a product of holomorphic unitriangular matrices with respect to the symplectic form $ \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & L_n \\ -L_n & 0\end{array}\right]$ where $L$ is the $n…

We study skein modules of 3-manifolds by embedding them into the Hilbert spaces of 4d ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theories. When the 3-manifold has reduced holonomy, we present an algorithm to determine the dimension and the list of…

A remarkable feature of Schur functions -- the common eigenfunctions of cut-and-join operators from $W_\infty$ -- is that they factorize at the peculiar two-parametric topological locus in the space of time-variables, what is known as the…

In this paper, Lie super-bialgebra structures on a class of generalized super $W$-algebra $\mathfrak{L}$ are investigated. By proving the first cohomology group of $\mathfrak{L}$ with coefficients in its adjoint tensor module is trivial,…

We introduce a notion of generalized modular functors with Hilbert spaces of infinite dimension in general, and show that a generalized modular functor with data of conformal dimensions determines uniquely wave functions as its flat…

When an abelian gauge theory with integer charges is spontaneously broken by the expectation value of a charge Q field, there remains a Z_Q discrete symmetry. In a supersymmetric theory, holomorphy adds additional constraints on the…

The algebraic notion of a pivotal module category was developed by Schaumann and Shimizu and is central to the description of boundary conditions in conformal field theory according to a proposal by Fuchs and Schweigert. In this paper, we…

We pursue the study of local index theory for operators of Fourier-integral type associated to non-proper and non-isometric actions of Lie groupoids, initiated in a previous work. We introduce the notion of geometric cocycles for Lie…

In this paper we continue the study of the superconformal index of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories of class $\mathcal{S}$ in the presence of surface defects. Our main result is the construction of an algebra of difference…

We discuss interrelations between: Cohn localizations of full square matrices; a Leavitt localization of a row; and the Jacobson quasi-inverses of quasi-regular elements. The latter Jacobson localizations appear naturally and easily in…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a small category, and suppose that we are given two (non-full) subcategories $\mathcal{S}^{sm}$ and $\mathcal{S}^{cl}$ that generate all morphisms of $\mathcal{S}$ under composition in the same way as morphisms of…

We apply the theory of $\alpha$-induction of sectors which we elaborated in our previous paper to several nets of subfactors arising from conformal field theory. The main application are conformal embeddings and orbifold inclusions of SU(n)…
