After reviewing some aspects of gravity in two dimensions, it is shown that non-trivial embeddings of sl(2) in a semi-simple (super) Lie algebra give rise to a very large class of extensions of 2D gravity. The induced action is constructed…

In this paper, we present a generalisation of a theorem of David and Rob Pollack. In 'A construction of rigid analytic cohomology classes for congruence subgroups of SL(3,Z)', they give a very general argument for lifting ordinary…

Let $X$ be a scheme. Let $r \geq 2$ be an integer. Denote by $W_r(X)$ the scheme of Witt vectors of length $r$, built out of $X$. We are concerned with the question of extending (=lifting) vector bundles on $X$, to vector bundles on…

We prove that every local derivation on a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is a derivation. We also give examples of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras $\mathcal{L}$…

In this work, we promote the global $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ symmetry of the Schwarzian derivative to a local gauge symmetry. To achieve this, we develop a procedure that potentially can be generalized beyond the $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ case: We first…

Let K be a non-archimedean field, and let f in K(z) be a rational function of degree d>1. If f has potentially good reduction, we give an upper bound, depending only on d, for the minimal degree of an extension L/K such that f is conjugate…

Berend gives necessary and sufficient conditions on a $Z^r$-action $\alpha$ on a torus $T^d$ by toral automorphisms in order for every orbit be either finite or dense. One of these conditions is that on every common eigendirection of the…

Given a complete and (locally) cartesian closed category U, it is shown that the category of functors from the category of Weil algebras to the category U is (locally, resp.) cartesian closed. The corresponding axiomatization for…

We introduce a new construction of bilinear invariant forms on Lie algebras, based on the method of graded contractions. The general method is described and the $\Bbb Z_2$-, $\Bbb Z_3$-, and $\Bbb Z_2\otimes\Bbb Z_2$-contractions are found.…

We present a transplantation theorem for Jacobi coefficients in weighted spaces. In fact, by using a discrete vector-valued local Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund theory, which has recently been furnished, we prove the boundedness of transplantation…

In Part I of this series of papers we have described a general formalism to compute the vacuum effects of a scalar field via local (or global) zeta regularization. In the present Part II we exemplify the general formalism in a number of…

Let k be a perfect field of characteristic p and let $W_n(k)$ denote the p-typical Witt vectors of length n. For example, $W_n(\mathbb{F}_p)=\mathbb{Z}/p^n$. We study the algebraic K-theory of $W_n(k)$, and prove that $K(W_n(k))$ satisfies…

Inspired by Gilkey's invariance theory, Getzler's rescaling method and Scott's approach to the index via Wodzicki residues, we give a localisation formula for the $\mathbb Z_2$-graded Wodzicki residue of the logarithm of a class of…

Local boundary conditions involving field strengths and the normal to the boundary, originally studied in anti-de Sitter space-time, have been recently considered in one-loop quantum cosmology. This paper derives the conditions under which…

In previous work, the second author introduced a topology, for spaces of irreducible representations, that reduces to the classical Zariski topology over commutative rings but provides a proper refinement in various noncommutative settings.…

The Kudla lift studied in this article is a classical version for Picard modular forms of the automorphic theta lift between $\text{GU}(2)$ and $\text{GU}(3)$. We construct an explicit $p$-adic analytic family of Picard modular forms…

We prove the triviality of the Grothendieck ring of a integer-valued field K under slight conditions on the logical language and on K. We construct a definable bijection from the plane K^2 to itself minus a point. When we specialize to…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a perfect field $k$ acting on an algebraic variety $X$ and let $P$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$. For $k$-spherical $G$-varieties we prove finiteness result for $P$-orbits that contain…

In a previous paper [CG], we showed how one could generalize Taylor-Wiles modularity lifting theorems [Wil95, TW95] to contexts beyond those in which the automorphic forms in question arose from the middle degree cohomology of Shimura…

Let $G$ be a finite 2-group and $K$ be a field satisfying that (i) $\fn{char}K\ne 2$, and (ii) $\sqrt{a}\in K$ for any $a\in K$. If $G$ acts on the rational function field $K(x,y,z)$ by monomial $K$-automorphisms, then the fixed field…
