Associated to a symmetric space there is a canonical connection with zero torsion and parallel curvature. This connection acts as a binary operator on the vector space of smooth sections of the tangent bundle, and it is linear with respect…
We discuss general properties of strong G$_2$-structures with torsion and we investigate the twisted G$_2$ equation, which represents the G$_2$-analogue of the twisted Calabi-Yau equation for SU$(n)$-structures introduced by…
Cocalibrated G_2-structures are structures naturally induced on hypersurfaces in Spin(7)-manifolds. Conversely, one may start with a seven-dimensional manifold M endowed with a cocalibrated G_2-structure and construct via the Hitchin flow a…
Given an aleph_1-free abelian group G we characterize the class C_G of all torsion abelian groups T satisfying Ext(G,T)=0 assuming the continuum hypothesis CH. Moreover, in Godel's constructable universe we prove that this characterizes C_G…
Let $A$ be an abelian sheaf on a site $X_{\tau}$ on which we have an action of a finite group $G$. Given an $A$-torsor (respectively a gerbe banded by $A$), we would like to know under what conditions it is induced from an $A^G$-torsor…
In this paper we evince a rigorous formulation of duality in gravitational theories where an Einstein like equation is valid, by providing the conditions under which the Hodge duals (with respect to the metric tensor g) of T^a and R_b^a may…
A torsion-free abelian group B of arbitrary rank is called a B_1-group if Bext^1(B,T)=0 for every torsion abelian group T, where Bext^1 denotes the group of equivalence classes of all balanced exact extensions of T by B. It is a…
We determine all affinely homogeneous hypersurfaces S^3 in R^4 whose Hessian is (invariantly) of constant rank 2, including the simply transitive ones. We find 34 inequivalent terminal branches yielding each to a nonempty moduli space of…
We study square lattice space group symmetry fractionalization in a family of exactly solvable models with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological order in two dimensions. In particular, we have obtained a complete understanding of which distinct types…
We study the structure of the category of graded, connected, countable-dimensional, commutative and cocommutative Hopf algebras over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p$. Every $p$-torsion object in this category is uniquely a direct…
We study the existence of invariant metrics with holonomy $G_{2(2)}^* \subset SO(4,3)$ on compact nilmanifolds, i.e. on compact quotients of nilpotent Lie groups by discrete subgroups. We prove that, up to isomorphism, there exists only one…
It is known that there are 34 classes of six-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups, many of which admit left-invariant symplectic and complex structures. Among them there are three classes of groups on which there are no left-invariant…
The goal of this paper is to provide a method, based on the theory of extensions of left-symmetric algebras, for classifying left-invariant affine structures on a given solvable Lie group of low dimension. To better illustrate our method,…
We apply a superspace formulation to the four-dimensional gauge theory of a massless Abelian antisymmetric tensor field of rank 2. The theory is formulated in a six-dimensional superspace using rank-2 tensor, vector and scalar superfields…
We study Hermitian structures on twisted cartesian products $(\mathfrak{g}_{(\rho_{1},\rho_{2})},\mathrm{J},\cal{K})$ of two Hermitian Lie algebras according to two representations $\rho_{1}$ and $\rho_{2}$. We give the conditions on…
The toric code can be constructed as a gauge theory of finite groups on oriented two dimensional lattices. Here we construct analogous models with the gauge fields belonging to groupoids, which are categories where every morphism has an…
In this paper, we have investigated different classes of an AG-groupoid by their structural properties. We have prove that weakly regular, intra-regular, right regular, left regular, left quasi regular and completely regular coincide in an…
Let $L_1$ and $L_2$ be linear forms of real-valued independent random variables. By Heyde's theorem, if the conditional distribution of $L_2$ given $L_1$ is symmetric, then the random variables are Gaussian. A number of papers are devoted…

A $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure on a $7$-manifold $M$ is called a $\mathrm{G}_2T$-structure if $M$ admits a $\mathrm{G}_2$-connection $\nabla^T$ with totally skew-symmetric torsion $T_\varphi$. If furthermore, $T_\varphi$ is closed then it is…
