We study the representation theory of the subregular W-algebra $\mathcal{W}^k(\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1},f_{sub})$ of type B and the principal W-superalgebra $\mathcal{W}^\ell(\mathfrak{osp}_{2|2n})$, which are related by an orthosymplectic…
In this paper, we extend Feigin-Frenkel duality at the critical level to complex rank by identifying two seemingly unrelated constructions in complex rank. On the affine side, we interpolate Molev's construction of higher Segal-Sugawara…
In our earlier papers we proposed a new approach to integrable hierarchies of soliton equations and their quantum deformations. We have applied this approach to the Toda field theories and the generalized KdV and modified KdV (mKdV)…
We investigate $\beta$-functions of quantum gravity using dimensional regularisation. In contrast to minimal subtraction, a non-minimal renormalisation scheme is employed which is sensitive to power-law divergences from mass terms or…
Free fermion system is the simplest quantum field theory which has the symmetry of Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra (DIM). DIM has S-duality symmetry, known as Miki automorphism which defines the transformation of generators. In this note, we…
An algebraic criterion for the vanishing of the beta function for renormalizable quantum field theories is presented. Use is made of the descent equations following from the Wess-Zumino consistency condition. In some cases, these equations…
We study systematically, through two loops, the divergence structure of the supersymmetric WZ model defined on the N=1/2 nonanticommutative superspace. By introducing a spurion field to represent the supersymmetry breaking term F^3 we are…
The treatment of $\gamma_{5}$ in Dimensional Regularization leads to ambiguities in field-theoretic calculations, of which one example is the coefficient of a particular term in the four-loop gauge $\beta$-functions of the Standard Model.…
In recent work by the authors, a connection between Feynman's path integral and Fourier integral operator $\zeta$-functions has been established as a means of regularizing the vacuum expectation values in quantum field theories. However,…
Wakimoto modules are representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras in Fock modules over infinite-dimensional Heisenberg algebras. In these lectures we present the construction of the Wakimoto modules from the point of view of the vertex…
Using the notion of extension of Kac-Moody algebras for higher dimensional compact manifolds recently introduced in [1], we show that for the two-torus $\mathbb S^1 \times \mathbb S^1$ and the two-sphere $\mathbb S^2$, these extensions, as…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simply laced Lie algebra, $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}_1$ the corresponding affine Lie algebra at level one, and $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{g})$ the corresponding Casimir W-algebra. We consider…
In this paper we construct two free field realizations of the elliptic affine Lie algebra sl(2,R) + \Omega_R/dR, where R=C[t,t^{-1},u|u^2=t^3 - 2b t^2 + t]. The first realization gives an analogue of Wakimoto's construction for Affine…
The Wakimoto-type free-field approach is applied to the boundary integer-level simple $\widehat{g}(k)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models, with a renewed motivation. With the introduction of the Lauricella hypergeometric functions…
We present a unified approach which gives completely elementary proofs of three weighted sum formulae for double zeta values. This approach also leads to new evaluations of sums relating to the harmonic numbers, the alternating double zeta…
We compute the three loop $\beta$ function of the Wess-Zumino model to motivate implicit regularization (IR) as a consistent and practical momentum-space framework to study supersymmetric quantum field theories. In this framework which…
We present some novelties on the Riemann zeta function. Using an extended formula created for the polylogarithm in a previous paper, $\mathrm{Li}_{k}(e^{z})$, the zeta function's Dirichlet series is analytically continued from $\Re(k)>1$ to…
We study the incomplete Mellin transformation of the fractional part and the related log-sine function when composed by an affine complex map. We evaluate the corresponding integral in two different ways which yields equalities with series…
Lattice field theory is a very powerful tool to study Feynman's path integral non-perturbatively. However, it usually requires Euclidean background metrics to be well-defined. On the other hand, a recently developed regularization scheme…
Modules over affine Lie superalgebras ${\cal G}$ are studied, in particular, for ${\cal G}=\hat{OSP(1,2)}$. It is shown that on studying Verma modules, much of the results in Kac-Moody algebra can be generalized to the super case. Of most…
