It is well known that anomaly cancellation {\it almost} determines the hypercharges in the standard model. A related (and somewhat more stronger) phenomenon takes place in Connes' NCG framework: unimodularity (a technical condition on…

We compare heterotic string models on orbifolds with supergravity models on smooth compact spaces, obtained by resolving the orbifold singularities. Our main focus is on heterotic E8xE8 models on the resolution of the compact T^6/Z_3…

We consider the properties weak cancellation, K_1-surjectivity, good index theory, and K_1-injectivity for the class of extremally rich C*-algebras, and for the smaller class of isometrically rich C*-algebras. We establish all four…

In cyclic, degree 8 extensions of algebraic number fields $N/K$, ambiguous ideals in N are canonical $\mathbb{Z}[C_8]$-modules. Their $\mathbb{Z}[C_8]$-structure is determined here. It is described in terms of indecomposable modules and…

A Jacobi structure $J$ on a line bundle $L\to M$ is weakly regular if the sharp map $J^\sharp : J^1 L \to DL$ has constant rank. A generalized contact bundle with regular Jacobi structure possess a transverse complex structure. Paralleling…

We show that any two homomorphisms of the alternating group A_5 into E_8 (over the complex numbers) whose images has finite centralizers are conjugate under E_8. This, in conjunction with earlier work of Frey, completes the classification…

We describe general constraints on the elliptic genus of a 2d supersymmetric conformal field theory which has a gravity dual with large radius in Planck units. We give examples of theories which do and do not satisfy the bounds we derive,…

Complex supermanifold structures being deformations of the exterior algebra of a holomorphic vector bundle, have been parametrized by orbits of a group on non-abelian cohomology by P. Green. For the case of odd dimension $4$ and $5$ an…

We conjecture that the relative Gromov-Witten potentials of elliptic fibrations are (cycle-valued) lattice quasi-Jacobi forms and satisfy a holomorphic anomaly equation. We prove the conjecture for the rational elliptic surface in all…

We show that a closed, connected, oriented, Riemannian $n$-manifold, admitting a branched cover of bounded length distortion from $\mathbb R^n$, has a virtually Abelian fundamental group.

The theory of Topological Modular Forms suggests the existence of deformation invariants for two-dimensional supersymmetric field theories that are more refined than the standard elliptic genus. In this note we give a physical definition of…

We show that there exist flat surface bundles with closed leaves having non-trivial normal bundles. This leads us to compute the Abelianisation of surface diffeomorphism groups with marked points. We also extend a formula of Tsuboi that…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number, $E$ an elliptic curve defined over a number field. Suppose that $E$ has good reduction at any prime lying above $p$, and has supersingular reduction at some prime lying above $p$. In this paper, we construct…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field where $p$ splits. We study signed Selmer groups for non-ordinary modular forms over the anticyclotomic $\mathbf{Z}_p$-extension of $K$, showing that their $\mu$-invariants vanish. This generalizes and…

Let $G$ be a connected and simply connected two-step nilpotent Lie group and $\Gamma$ a lattice subgroup of $G$. In this note, we give a new multiplicity formula, according to the sense of Moore, of irreducible unitary representations…

In this work we obtain algebraicity results on special $L$-values attached to Siegel-Jacobi modular forms. Our method relies on a generalization of the doubling method to the Jacobi group obtained in our previous work, and on introducing a…

In a recent paper, Allanach et al introduced a geometric method to solve the anomaly cancellation equations for a $U(1)$ gauge theory with an arbitrary number of charges - the Method of Chords known in Diophantine analysis. We extend their…

We construct the Green-Schwarz terms of six-dimensional supergravity theories on spacetimes with non-trivial topology and gauge bundle. We prove the cancellation of all global gauge and gravitational anomalies for theories with gauge groups…

Some forms of Lie algebras of types E_6, E_7, and E_8 are constructed using the exterior cube of a rank 9 finitely generated projective module.

Lagrangian submanifolds in strict nearly K\"ahler 6-manifolds are related to special Lagrangian submanifolds in Calabi-Yau 6-manifolds and coassociative cones in $G_2$-manifolds. We prove that the mean curvature of a Lagrangian submanifold…
