Twists of four-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs) isolate protected sectors with rich algebraic structures. We develop a unified framework for analyzing symmetries and anomalies in four-dimensional holomorphically…
A discretisation scheme that preserves topological features of a physical problem is extended so that differential geometric structures can be approximated in a consistent way thus giving access to the study of physical systems which are…
In this paper, we are interested in flat metric structures with conical singularities on surfaces which are obtained by deforming translation surface structures. The moduli space of such flat metric structures can be viewed as some…
Various spaces of symmetries of a structure are naturally endowed with both an algebraic and a topological structure. For example, the automorphism group of a structure is, on top of being a group, a topological group when equipped with the…
In this thesis we consider the geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points in P^n, concentrating on the locus of points corresponding to the Gorenstein subschemes of P^n. New results are given, most importantly we provide tools for…
We consider a framework for representing double loop spaces (and more generally E-2 spaces) as commutative monoids. There are analogous commutative rectifications of braided monoidal structures and we use this framework to define iterated…
In this paper, we generalize the notions of centroids and barycenters to the broad class of information-theoretic distortion measures called Bregman divergences. Bregman divergences are versatile, and unify quadratic geometric distances…
We set up a framework for using algebraic geometry to study the generalised cohomology rings that occur in algebraic topology. This idea was probably first introduced by Quillen and it underlies much of our understanding of complex oriented…
A new class of integrable mappings and chains is introduced. Corresponding $(1+2)$ integrable systems invariant with respect to such discrete transformations are presented in an explicit form. Their soliton-type solutions are constructed in…
After a review on the development of deformation theory of abelian complex structures from both the classical and generalized sense, we propose the concept of semi-abelian generalized complex structure. We present some observations on such…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $D$ be a $p$-divisible group over $k$ which is not isoclinic. Let $\scrD$ (resp. $\scrD_k$) be the formal deformation space of $D$ over $\Spf(W(k))$ (resp. over…
This is a survey on recent progress in algebraic deformation theory and the application of algebraic operads to its study. We review the classical homotopical tools in the theory of algebraic operads, namely Koszul duality. We give concrete…
There are many examples of dualities between topological spaces and algebras in the literature. Particularly, many of those examples come from the algebraic counterpart of a logical system, e.g, boolean and heyting algebras, MV-algebras,…

This paper gives some relating results for various concepts of convexity in metric spaces such as midpoint convexity, convex structure, uniform convexity and near-uniform convexity, Busemann curvature and its relation to convexity. Some…

The geometry of the Lubin-Tate space of deformations of a formal group is studied via an \'etale, rigid analytic map from the deformation space to projective space. This leads to a simple description of the equivariant canonical bundle of…
