In this paper we develop combinatorial techniques for the case of string algebras with the aim to give a characterization of string complexes with infinite minimal projective resolution. These complexes will be called \textit{periodic…
A field algebra is a ``non-commutative'' generalization of a vertex algebra. In this paper we develop foundations of the theory of field algebras.
For a path algebra over a noetherian local ground ring, the notion of an admissible ideal was defined by Raggi-C{\'a}rdenas and Salmer{\'o}n. We provide sufficient conditions for admissibility and use them to study semiperfect module-finite…
A finite-dimensional unital and associative algebra over $\mathbb{R}$, or what we shall call simply "an algebra" in this paper for short, generalities the construction by which we derive the complex numbers by "adjoining an element $i$" to…
We give a definition of associative schemes, schemes of associative rings, over a field $k,$ using the definition of completion of an associative $k$-algebra in a finite set of simple modules. We start by giving a weaker but sufficient…
String backgrounds are described as purely geometric objects related to moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, in the spirit of Segal's definition of a conformal field theory. Relations with conformal field theory, topological field theory and…
We review some of the recent developments in the construction of $W$-string theories. These are generalisations of ordinary strings in which the two-dimensional ``worldsheet'' theory, instead of being a gauging of the Virasoro algebra, is a…
We study just infinite algebras which remain so upon extension of scalars by arbitrary field extensions. Such rings are called stably just infinite. We show that just infinite rings over algebraically closed fields are stably just infinite…
In this note we show that abstract planar algebras are algebras over the topological operad of moduli spaces of stable maps with Lagrangian boundary conditions, which in the case of the projective line are described in terms of real…
For a finitely generated algebra over a field, the transcendence degree is known to be equal to the Krull dimension. The aim of this paper is to generalize this result to algebras over rings. A new definition of the transcendence degree of…
These notes deal with finite-dimensional normed algegras, some basic examples, and the definition of the spectrum.
We describe the generic modules in each component of the spaces of representations of certain string algebras. In so doing, we calculate the dimensions of higher self-extension groups for generic modules. This algorithm lends itself for use…
The boundary conditions of a non-trivial string background are classified. To this end we need traces on various spaces of conformal blocks, for which generalizations of the Verlinde formula are presented.
Linear algebra is usually defined over a field such as the reals or complex numbers. It is possible to extend this to skew fields such as the quaternions. However, to the authors' knowledge there is no commonly accepted notation of linear…
We define string geometry: spaces of superstrings including the interactions, their topologies, charts, and metrics. Trajectories in asymptotic processes on a space of strings reproduce the right moduli space of the super Riemann surfaces…
String theory is a quantum theory that reproduces the results of General Relativity at long distances but is completely different at short distances. Mathematically, string theory is based on a very new -- and little understood -- framework…
There are at present two known string theories in $(2,2)$ dimensions. One of them is the well known $N=2$ string, and the other one is a more recently constructed $N=1$ spacetime supersymmetric string. They are both based on certain…
We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…
String theory and supersymmetry are theoretical ideas that go beyond the standard model of particle physics and show promise for unifying all forces. After a brief introduction to supersymmetry, we discuss the prospects for its experimental…
We observe that a finitely generated algebraic algebra R (over a field) is finite dimensional if and only if the associated graded ring grR is right noetherian, if and only if grR has right Krull dimension, if and only if grR satisfies a…
