We show that coinvariants of modules over vertex operator algebras give rise to quasi-coherent sheaves on moduli of stable pointed curves. These generalize Verlinde bundles or vector bundles of conformal blocks defined using affine Lie…
We reinterpret algebraic de Rham cohomology for a possibly singular complex variety X as sheaf cohomology in the site of smooth schemes over X with Voevodsky's h-topology. Our results extend to the algebraic de Rham complex as well. Our…
A Banach symmetric space in the sense of O. Loos is a smooth Banach manifold $M$ endowed with a multiplication map $\mu\colon M \times M \to M$ such that each left multiplication map $\mu_x := \mu(x,\cdot)$ (with $x \in M$) is an involutive…
Based on the quasiconformal theory of the universal Teichm\"uller space, we introduce the Teichm\"uller space of diffeomorphisms of the unit circle with $\alpha$-H\"older continuous derivatives as a subspace of the universal Teichm\"uller…
In this work we characterize the subsets of ${\mathbb R}^n$ that are images of Nash maps $f:{\mathbb R}^m\to{\mathbb R}^n$. We prove Shiota's conjecture and show that a subset ${\mathcal S}\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ is the image of a Nash map…
We show that the cohomology table of any coherent sheaf on projective space is a convergent--but possibly infinite--sum of positive real multiples of the cohomology tables of what we call supernatural sheaves.
Given an arbitrary topological complex vector space $A$, a quotient vector bundle for $A$ is a quotient of a trivial vector bundle $\pi_2:A\times X\to X$ by a fiberwise linear continuous open surjection. We show that this notion subsumes…
Sampling theory has traditionally drawn tools from functional and complex analysis. Past successes, such as the Shannon-Nyquist theorem and recent advances in frame theory, have relied heavily on the application of geometry and analysis.…
Among other things, we show that the ideal sheaf of a complex Hilbert submanifold of a pseudoconvex open subset of Hilbert space is acyclic over the ambient pseudoconvex open set. We also prove a vanishing theorem for a fairly general class…
Superconformal geometries in spacetime dimensions $D=3,4,{5}$ and $6$ are discussed in terms of local supertwistor bundles over standard superspace. These natually admit superconformal connections as matrix-valued one-forms. In order to…
In very rough terms, the main theorem is that the set, which consists of semistable vector bundles with trivial rational Chern classes and nontrivial kth cohomology on a smooth complex projective variety, is a degeneration of a union of…
In [1] we introduced the concept of structured space, which is a topological space that locally resembles some algebraic structures. In [2] we proceeded the study of these spaces, developing two cohomology theories. The aim of this paper is…
Supersymmetric field theories of scalars and fermions in 4-D space-time can be cast in the formalism of Kaehler geometry. In these lectures I review Kaehler geometry and its application to the construction and analysis of supersymmetric…
Schwartz functions, or measures, are defined on any smooth semi-algebraic ("Nash") manifold, and are known to form a cosheaf for the semi-algebraic restricted topology. We extend this definition to smooth semi-algebraic stacks, which are…
We reconsider the ingredients of moduli stabilization in heterotic M-theory. On this line we close a gap in the literature deriving the Kaehler potential dependence on vector bundle moduli and charged matter. Crucial in this derivation is…
Let $L$ be a local system on a smooth quasi projective variety over $\cnum$. We see that $L$ is semisimple if and only if there exists a tame pure imaginary pluri-harmonic metric on $L$. Although it is a rather minor refinement of a result…
We present here a cohomological analysis of the new spacetime superalgebras that arise in the context of superbrane theory. They lead to enlarged superspaces that allow us to write D-brane actions in terms of fields associated with the…
The ascent and descent of the Mittag-Leffler property were instrumental in proving Zariski locality of the notion of an (infinite dimensional) vector bundle by Raynaud and Gruson in \cite{RG}. More recently, relative Mittag-Leffler modules…
We consider smooth, complex quasi-projective varieties $U$ which admit a compactification with a boundary which is an arrangement of smooth algebraic hypersurfaces. If the hypersurfaces intersect locally like hyperplanes, and the relative…
We develop a general framework for the quantization of bosonic and fermionic field theories on affine bundles over arbitrary globally hyperbolic spacetimes. All concepts and results are formulated using the language of category theory,…
