We construct a formal connection on the Aomoto complex of an arrangement of hyperplanes, and use it to study the Gauss-Manin connection for the moduli space of the arrangement in the cohomology of a complex rank one local system. We prove…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ acts on a smooth complex variety $X$. Then this action lifts to the Chiral de Rham Complex of $X$ and to its cohomology by automorphisms of the vertex algebra structure. We define twisted sectors for the…
We present a Lagrangian formulation for the general modified chiral model. We use it to discuss the Hamiltonian formalism for this model and to derive the commutation relations for the chiral field. We look at some explicit examples and…
We present a method for implementing gauge theories of chiral fermions on the lattice.
We introduce the notion of a conformal de Rham complex of a Riemannian manifold. This is a graded differential Banach algebra and it is invariant under quasiconformal maps, in particular the associated cohomology is a new quasiconformal…
Interpreting the chiral de Rham complex (CDR) as a formal Hamiltonian quantization of the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model, we suggest a setup for the study of CDR on manifolds with special holonomy. We show how to systematically…
We propose a physical interpretation of the chiral de Rham complex as a formal Hamiltonian quantization of the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model. We show that the chiral de Rham complex on a Calabi-Yau manifold carries all information…
This is the last version of AG/0111277. Here the old abstract: We define $\epsilon$-factors in the de Rham setting and calculate the determinant of the Gau\ss-Manin connection for a family of (affine) curves and a vector bundle equipped…
A model of hadron masses based on the quark structure of hadrons combined with effects of chiral dynamics is used to calculate the 2+1 flavour chiral condensate in the hadron resonance gas framework. Results are discussed in the context of…
A critical appraisal is given of a recent analysis of the quark-mass and finite-size dependence of unquenched lattice QCD data for the nucleon mass. We use this forum to estimate the boundary of the chiral regime for nucleon properties.
A recent application of an index relation of the form, $dim\ ker\ M - dim\ ker\ M^{\dagger} = \nu$, to the generation of chiral fermions in a vector-like gauge theory is reviewed. In this scheme the chiral structure arises from a mass term…
We give an explicit description, in terms of bracket, anchor, and pairing, of the standard cochain complex associated to a Courant algebroid. In this formulation, the differential satisfies a formula that is formally identical to the Cartan…
We discuss that the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, which has the key role in the recent development of constructing lattice chiral gauge theory, can play an important role to define chiral structures in finite matrix models and noncommutative…
This paper is a sequel to math.AG/9803041. It consists of three parts. In the first part we give certain construction of vertex algebras which includes in particular the ones appearing in op. cit. In the second part we show how the…
We describe in detail the solution of the extension of the chiral Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (chGUE) into the complex plane. The correlation functions of the model are first calculated for a finite number of N complex eigenvalues, where we…
An introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory is given including a discussion of power counting, the Wess-Zumino term, the values of the coupling constants and the inclusion of the effects of other resonances.
It has been shown recently that Dirac operators satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation provide a solution of the chirality problem in QCD at finite lattice spacing. We discuss different ways to construct these operators and their…
A chiral invariant effective action for lattice QCD is proposed. Its connection to the multifermion model is established. A possibility of using this action for computer simulations is discussed.
We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in…
