We explicitly construct a set of quadratic equations defining the highest weight vector orbit for adjoint representations of Chevalley groups of types D_l, E_6, E_7, and E_8. The combinatorics of these equations is related to the…
Top quark studies at future $e^+e^-$ colliders are considered. Two issues are discussed: {a --}Some results are presented on the decays of top quarks. Energy distributions of charged leptons and neutrinos in $t\to bW\to be^+\nu$ and jets in…
Recent formal classifications of crystalline topological insulators predict that the combination of time-reversal and rotational symmetry gives rise to topological invariants beyond the ones known for other lattice symmetries. Although the…
We study the perturbative large-$N$ expansion of the round three-sphere partition function in a class of M2-brane theories, including flavored SYM and ABJM theories as well as more general 3d theories admitting dual $(p,q)$ 5-brane web…
More profound than bulk topological order of quantum materials is only its unwinding via gapless excitations along boundaries of the sample. We recast this bulk-edge correspondence -- for the experimentally relevant case of fractional…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic not equal to $2$ or $3$. We compute the weight enumerators of some projective and affine Reed-Muller codes of order $3$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$. These weight enumerators answer enumerative…
Motivated by properties of higher tangent lifts of geometric structures, we introduce concepts of weighted structures for various geometric objects on a manifold F equipped with a homogeneity structure. The latter is a smooth action on F of…
We define integrable representations of quantum toroidal algebras of type A by tensor product, using the Drinfeld "coproduct". This allow us to recover the vector representations recently introduced by Feigin-Jimbo-Miwa-Mukhin [6] and…
The notion of shifted quantum groups has recently played an important role in algebraic geometry. This subtle modification of the original definition brings more flexibility in the representation theory of quantum groups. The first part of…
A topological space ${\mathcal X}$ is reversible iff each continuous bijection (condensation) $f: {\mathcal X} \rightarrow {\mathcal X}$ is a homeomorphism; weakly reversible iff whenever ${\mathcal Y}$ is a space and there are…
We construct topological recursion relations (TRR's) at higher genera $g\ge2$ for general 2-dimensional topological field theories coupled to gravity. These TRR's when combined with Virasoro conditions enable one to determine the number of…
Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and let ${\mathfrak g}$ be its Lie algebra. Given $\chi\in{\mathfrak g}^{*}$ in standard Levi form, we study a category ${\mathscr C}_\chi$…
We state and prove a topological recursion relation that expresses any genus-g Gromov-Witten invariant of a projective manifold with at least a (3g-1)-st power of a cotangent line class in terms of invariants with fewer cotangent line…
These notes accompany a lecture about the topology of symplectic (and other) quotients. The aim is two-fold: first to advertise the ease of computation in the symplectic category; and second to give an account of some new computations for…
When does topological recursion applied to a family of spectral curves commute with taking limits? This problem is subtle, especially when the ramification structure of the spectral curve changes at the limit point. We provide sufficient…
A class of highest weight irreducible representations of the algebra $U_h(A_\infty)$, the quantum analogue of the completion and central extension $A_\infty$ of the Lie algebra $gl_\infty$, is constructed. It is considerably larger than the…
In this paper, we study the basic structures of degree-$g$ topological recursion relations on the moduli space of curves $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$: (i) The coefficient of the bouquet class on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, which gives…
In this note we extend the concept height on projective spaces to that of weighted height on weighted projective spaces and show how such a height can be computed. We prove some of the basic properties of the weighted height and show how it…
We summarize the basics of the loop representation of quantum gravity and describe the main aspects of the formalism, including its latest developments, in a reorganized and consistent form. Recoupling theory, in its graphical…
The behavior of certain weighted Hardy-type operators on rearrangement-invariant function spaces is thoroughly studied with emphasis being put on the optimality of the obtained results. First, the optimal rearrangement-invariant function…
