The connection between the theory of permutation orbifolds, covering surfaces and uniformization is investigated, and the higher genus partition functions of an arbitrary permutation orbifold are expressed in terms of those of the original…
We develop the theory of equivariant harmonic self-maps of compact cohomogeneity one manifolds and construct new harmonic self-maps of the compact Lie groups SO(4L+2), L >= 1, with degree -3, of SO(8), SO(14) and SO(26) with degree -5 each,…
In this paper we study the N=1 supersymmetric field theories realized on the world-volume of type IIB D3-branes sitting at orientifolds of non-orbifold singularities (conifold and generalizations). Several chiral models belong to this…
In this short note, we classify linear categorified open topological field theories in dimension two by pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories, a type of monoidal category equipped with a weak, not necessarily rigid duality. In combination…
An orbifold is a Morita equivalence class of a proper {\' e}tale Lie groupoid. A unitary equivalence class of spectral triples over the algebra of smooth invariant functions are associated with any compact spin orbifold. In the case of an…
We compute the degree of Stiefel manifolds, that is, the variety of orthonormal frames in a finite dimensional vector space. Our approach employs techniques from classical algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and classical invariant…
This is my dissertation about digraphs ordered by pp-constructability. We study in particular smooth digraphs, i.e., digraphs without sources or sinks, tournaments and semicomplete digraphs, orientations of paths and cycles, digraphs with…
The notion of 'slope rational connectedness' is introduced in the context of smooth orbifold pairs. The main result parallels the characterization of the rational connectedness of projective manifolds in terms of either the non-existence of…
On an orientable manifold M, we consider a regular even dimensional foliation F which is globally defined by a set of k-independent 1-forms. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a regular Poisson structure on M…
The theory of modular forms and spherical harmonic analysis are applied to establish new best bounds towards the counting and equidistribution of rational points on spheres and other higher dimensional ellipsoids, in what may be viewed as a…
The authors give a complete classification of projective threefolds admitting a holomorphic conformal structure. A Corollary is the complete list of projective threefolds, whose tangent bundle is a symmetric square.
We present a general and comprehensive overview of recent developments in the theory of integral models of Shimura varieties of Hodge type. The paper covers the following topics: construction of integral models, their possible moduli…
We present a complete classification of all 1D and 2D orbifold compactifications. There exist 2 one-dimensional and 17 two-dimensional orbifolds. The classification includes orbifolds such as S^1/Z_2 or T^2/Z_n, as well as less familiar…
It is known that for any full rational conformal field theory, the correlation functions that are obtained by the TFT construction satisfy all locality, modular invariance and factorization conditions, and that there is a small set of…
We classify simple finite Jordan conformal superalgebras and establish preliminary results for the classification of simple finite Jordan pseudoalgebras.
Unimodularity is localized to a complete stationary type, and its properties are analysed. Some variants of unimodularity for definable and type-definable sets are introduced, and the relationship between these different notions is studied.…
This article provides a complete characterization of the conformal classes of product tori and standard flat tori in complex dimension 1 (real dimension 2). Utilizing basic differential geometry methods, our approach contrasts with…
This is the first paper in a series that studies smooth relative Lie algebra homologies and cohomologies based on the theory of formal manifolds and formal Lie groups. In this paper, we lay the foundations for this study by introducing the…
We discuss the resolution of toroidal orbifolds. For the resulting smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds, we calculate the intersection ring and determine the divisor topologies. In a next step, the orientifold quotients are constructed.
A modular tensor category provides the appropriate data for the construction of a three-dimensional topological field theory. We describe the following analogue for two-dimensional conformal field theories: a 2-category whose objects are…
