It has been known for some time that $W$ algebras can be realised in terms of an energy-momentum tensor together with additional free scalar fields. Some recent results have shown that more general realisations are also possible. In this…
The Einstein-Maxwell (E-M) equations in a curved spacetime that admits at least one Killing vector are derived, from a Lagrangian density adapted to symmetries. In this context, an auxiliary space of potentials is introduced, in which, the…
We present a geometric formulation of type-IIA and -IIB superstring theories in which the Wess-Zumino term is second order in the supersymmetric currents. The currents are constructed using supergroup manifolds corresponding to…
In this note we investigate U(N) gauge theories with matter in the fundamental and adjoint representations of the gauge group, interacting via generalized Yukawa terms of the form Tr[Q \Phi^n {\tilde Q}]. We find agreement between the…
The gauge principle is at the heart of a good part of fundamental physics: Starting with a group G of so-called rigid symmetries of a functional defined over space-time Sigma, the original functional is extended appropriately by additional…
The history of Current Algebra is reviewed up to the appearance of the Adler-Weisberger sum rule. Particular emphasis is given to the role current algebra played for the historical struggle in strong interaction physics of elementary…
Chern-Simons models for gravity are interesting because they provide with a truly gauge-invariant action principle in the fiber-bundle sense. So far, their main drawback has largely been the perceived remoteness from standard General…
In this work we extend the notion of co-algebra, co-algebraic Wess-Zumino-Witten formulation of Lagrangian Field Theory and the Homotopy transfer theorem to many strings and particle systems. We discuss in detail the construction of higher…
We introduce and study a class of Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebras defined via quivers with relations associated with symmetrizable Cartan matrices. These algebras generalize the path algebras of quivers associated with symmetric Cartan…
Motivated by application of current superalgebras in the study of disordered systems such as the random XY and Dirac models, we investigate $gl(2|2)$ current superalgebra at general level $k$. We construct its free field representation and…
In this article we survey some of the recent goings-on in the classification programme of C$^*$-algebras, following the interesting link found between the Cuntz semigroup and the classical Elliott invariant and the fact that the Elliott…
Starting from a nonlinear realisation of eleven dimensional supergravity based on the group G11, whose generators appear as low level generators of E11, we present a super extended algebra, which leads to a covariant derivative of spinors…
The indication from deep inelastic electron scattering experiments at SLAC that Bjorken scaling may really hold has motivated an extension of the hypotheses of current algebra to what may be called light-cone current algebra.
In this work, we study Lagrangian formulations for self-dual gauge theories, also known as chiral $n$-form gauge theories, for $n = 2p$ in $D = 4p+2$ dimensional spacetime. Motivated by a recent formulation of M5-branes derived from the BLG…
The exceptional symmetry is realized perturbatively in F-theory which is the manifest U-duality theory. The SO(5,5) U-duality symmetry acts on both the 16 spacetime coordinates and the 10 worldvolume coordinates. Closure of the Virasoro…
We construct the 12-dimensional exceptional field theory associated to the group $\mathrm{SL}(2) \times \mathbb{R}^+$ . Demanding the closure of the algebra of local symmetries leads to a constraint, known as the section condition, that…
We propose a general notion of algebraic gauge theory obtained via extracting the main properties of classical gauge theory. Building on a recent work on transferring curved $A_{\infty}$-structures we show that, under certain technical…
A formula is presented for the modular transformation matrix S for any simple current extension of the chiral algebra of a conformal field theory. This provides in particular an algorithm for resolving arbitrary simple current fixed points,…
We examine the Generalized K$\ddot{a}$hler Geometry of quantum N=2 superconformal WZW model on $SU(2)\times U(1)$ and relate the right-moving and left-moving Kac-Moody superalgebra currents to the Generalized K$\ddot{a}$hler Geometry data…
Given a finite-dimensional, complex simple Lie algebra we exhibit an integral form for the universal enveloping algebra of its map algebra, and an explicit integral basis for this integral form. We also produce explicit commutation formulas…
