The different forms of the Hamiltonian formulations of linearized General Relativity/spin-two theories are discussed in order to show their similarities and differences. It is demonstrated that in the linear model, non-covariant…

It is shown that all important features of a $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebraic quantum group $(A,\Delta)$ defined by a modular multiplicative $W$ depend only on the pair $(A,\Delta)$ rather than the multiplicative unitary operator $W$. The proof is…

We prove that all SYM theories that have a quantum modified moduli space $\m$ defined by a single constraint equation have trivial homotopy groups $\pi_j(\m)$ for $j=0,1,2,3$ and 4. This implies that none of these theories admit skyrmions…

We extend our previous work arXiv:1012.5721 [hep-th] on the non-compact N=2 SCFT_2 defined as the supersymmetric SL(2,R)/U(1)-gauged WZW model. Starting from path-integral calculations of torus partition functions of both the axial-type…

The intention of this thesis is to provide general tools and concepts that allow to perform a mathematically substantiated symmetry reduction in (quantum) gauge field theories. Here, the main focus is on the framework of loop quantum…

Let $G$ be a complex, connected, reductive algebraic group. In this paper we show analogues of the computations by Borho and MacPherson of the invariants and anti-invariants of the cohomology of the Springer fibres of the cone of nilpotent…

This paper studies the "reduction mod $p$" method, which constructs large classes of representations for a semisimple algebraic group $G$ from representations for the corresponding Lusztig quantum group $U_\zeta$ at a $p^r$-th root of…

This paper is on the Curtis conjecture. We show that the image of the Hurewicz homomorhism $h:\pi_*Q_0S^0\to H_*(Q_0S^0;\mathbb{Z})$, when restricted to product of positive dimensional elements, is determined by…

In this survey paper (which supersedes our earlier arXiv preprint math.AG/0507086) we give a relatively simple and coordinate free description of the WZW model as a local system whose base is a G_m-bundle on the moduli stack of pointed…

We present a new development in our approach to the covariant quantization of superstrings in 10 dimensions which is based on a gauged WZNW model. To incorporate worldsheet diffeomorphisms we need the quartet of ghosts $(b_{zz},c^{z},…

In the context of orientable circuits and subcomplexes of these as representing certain singular spaces, we consider characteristic class formulas generalizing those classical results as seen for the Riemann-Hurwitz formula for regulating…

We present a theory of reduction of binary quadratic forms with coefficients in Z[lambda], where lambda is the minimal translation in a Hecke group. We generalize from the modular group Gamma(1) = SL(2,Z) to the Hecke groups and make…

We realise non-unitary fusion categories using subfactor-like methods, and compute their quantum doubles and modular data. For concreteness we focus on generalising the Haagerup-Izumi family of Q-systems. For example, we construct…

Three explicit and equivalent representations for the monodromy of the conformal blocks in the SL(2,C)/SU(2) WZNW model are proposed in terms of the same quantity computed in Liouville field theory. We show that there are two possible…

This paper generalizes a theorem of Hida on the structure of ordinary representations on unitary groups to $P$-ordinary representations, where $P$ is a general parabolic subgroup of some general linear group. When $P$ is minimal, we recover…

We give examples of (i) a simple theory with a formula (with parameters) which does not fork over the empty set but has mu measure 0 for every automorphism invariant Keisler measure mu, and (ii) a definable group G in a simple theory such…

In this paper we introduce a class of generalized supersymmetric Toda field theories. The theories are labeled by a continuous parameter and have $N=2$ supersymmetry. They include previously known $N=2$ Toda theories as special cases. Using…

We develop the non-commutative polynomial version of the invariant theory for the quantum general linear supergroup ${\rm{ U}}_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n})$. A non-commutative ${\rm{ U}}_q(\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n})$-module superalgebra…

We study quantum intergrable systems of interacting particles from the point of view, proposed in our previous paper. We obtain Calogero-Moser and Sutherland systems as well their Ruijsenaars relativistic generalization by a Hamiltonian…

A general dynamical invariant operator for three coupled time-dependent oscillators is derived. Although the obtained invariant operator satisfies the Liouville-von Neumann equation, its mathematical formula is somewhat complicated due to…
