By extending the six-dimensional hybrid formalism for the superstring to include $d=6$ $\mathcal{N}=1$ superspace variables along with unconstrained bosonic ghost fields, we construct a manifestly spacetime supersymmetric vertex operator…
The topological field theories associated with affine Lie superalgebras are constructed. Their BRST symmetry is characterised by a Kazama algebra containing spin 1, 2 and 3 operators and closes linearly. Under this symmetry all operators…
We show that almost all string theories, including the bosonic string, the superstring and $W$-string theories, possess a twisted N=2 superconformal symmetry. This enables us to establish a connection between topological gravity and the…
Recently, the superstring was covariantly quantized using the BRST-like operator $Q = \oint \lambda^\alpha d_\alpha$ where $\lambda^\alpha$ is a pure spinor and $d_\alpha$ are the fermionic Green-Schwarz constraints. By performing a field…
The near horizon geometry of a fundamental string wrapped around an S1 reduced to four dimensions is expected to be AdS2 x S2. A probe string analysis suggests a no-force condition indicating supersymmetry, which coincides with the…
We propose a way to identify the gauge invariant operator in noncommutative gauge theory on a D-brane with nonzero B field which couples to a specific supergravity mode in the bulk. This uses the description of noncommutative gauge theories…
We study matrices whose entries are free or exchangeable noncommutative elements in some tracial $W^*$-probability space. More precisely, we consider operator-valued Wigner and Wishart matrices and prove quantitative convergence to…
We study a Lie algebra of formal vector fields $W_n$ with its application to the perturbative deformed holomorphic symplectic structure in the A-model, and a Calabi-Yau manifold with boundaries in the B-model. A relevant concept in the…
We represent vector rotation operators in terms of bras or kets of half-angle exponentials in Clifford (geometric) algebra Cl_{3,0}. We show that SO_3 is a rotation group and we define the dihedral group D_4 as its finite subgroup. We use…
Quantization of closed string proceeds with a suitable choice of worldsheet vacuum. A priori, the vacuum may be chosen independently for left-moving and right-moving sectors. We construct {\sl ab initio} quantized bosonic string theory with…
The quantum BRST charge for the most general, two-dimensional, non-linear, $N=4$ quasi-superconformal algebra $\hat{D}(1,2;\a)$, whose linearisation is the so-called `large' $N=4$ superconformal algebra, is constructed. The…
We study a commuting triple of bounded operators $(A, B, P)$ which has the tetrablock as a spectral set.
We reproduce the correspondence between open string states |n> and BMN operators O_n in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory using a worldsheet computation with the relation <B|n>=O_n, where <B| is a boundary state of D3-branes. We regard the NS…
We obtain a complete description of semi-Fredholm spectra of operators of the form $(Tf)(z) = w(z)f(B(z)$ acting on the disc algebra in the case when $B$ is either elliptic or double parabolic finite Blaschke product of degree $d \geq 2$…
Several examples of similarity transformations connecting two string theories with different backgrounds are reviewed. We also discuss general structure behind the similarity transformations from the point of view of the topological…
We study weighted composition operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the unit ball with kernels of the form $(1-<z,w>)^{-\gamma}$ for $\gamma>0$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint of a weighted…
Symmetry transformations of the space-time fields of string theory are generated by certain similarity transformations of the stress-tensor of the associated conformal field theories. This observation is complicated by the fact that, as we…
We study vertex operators in 4D conformal field theory derived from quantized gravity, whose dynamics is governed by the Wess-Zumino action by Riegert and the Weyl action. Conformal symmetry is equal to diffeomorphism symmetry in the…
We construct a localized state of a scalar field in 3D spin-3 gravity. 3D spin-3 gravity is thought to be holographically dual to W$_3$ extended CFT on a boundary at infinity. It is known that while W$_3$ algebra is a non-linear algebra, in…
First we argue that many BV and homotopy BV structures, including both familiar and new examples, arise from a common underlying construction. The input of this construction is a cyclic operad along with a cyclically invariant Maurer-Cartan…
