Let $(X,J) $ be an almost complex manifold with a (smooth) involution $\sigma:X\to X$ such that fix($\sigma$) is non-empty. Assume that $\sigma$ is a complex conjugation, i.e, the differential of $\sigma$ anti-commutes with $J$. The space…

In Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism a classical mechanical system is specified by means of a solution to the {\sl classical master equation}. Geometrically such a solution can be considered as a $QP$-manifold, i.e. a super\m equipped with an…

A geometric approach to immersion formulas for soliton surfaces is provided through new cohomologies on spaces of special types of $\mathfrak{g}$-valued differential forms. This leads us to introduce Poincar\'e-type lemmas for these…

We compute the quantum cohomology ring $H^*_{\varphi}({\bf P}, {\bf C})$ of an arbitrary $d$-dimensional smooth projective toric manifold ${\bf P}_{\Sigma}$ associated with a fan $\Sigma$. The multiplicative structure of $H^*_{\varphi}({\bf…

We construct Calabi-Yau geometries with wrapped D6 branes which realize ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric $A_r$ quiver theories, and study the corresponding geometric transitions. This also yields new large $N$ dualities for topological strings…

We discuss the cohomology of superforms and integral forms from a new perspective based on a recently proposed Hodge dual operator. We show how the superspace constraints (a.k.a. rheonomic parametrisation) are translated from the space of…

We present a generally covariant approach to quantum mechanics in which generalized positions, momenta and time variables are treated as coordinates on a fundamental "phase-spacetime." We show that this covariant starting point makes…

This is the second in a series of papers on a new equivariant cohomology that takes values in a vertex algebra. In an earlier paper, the first two authors gave a construction of the cohomology functor on the category of O(sg) algebras. The…

Let V be a symplectic vector space and LG be the Lagrangian Grassmannian which parametrizes maximal isotropic subspaces in V. We give a presentation for the (small) quantum cohomology ring QH^*(LG) and show that its multiplicative structure…

For an in invertible quasihomogeneous singularity $w$ we prove an all-genus mirror theorem establishing an isomorphism between two cohomological field theories. On the $B$-side it is the Saito-Givental theory given by a certain choice of a…

We propose a functional integral representation for Archimedean L-factors given by products of Gamma-functions. The corresponding functional integral arises in the description of type A equivariant topological linear sigma model on a disk.…

Quantum mechanical operators and quantum fields are interpreted as realizations of timespace manifolds. Such causal manifolds are parametrized by the classes of the positive unitary operations in all complex operations, i.e. by the…

We compute the ring structure of Floer cohomology groups of Lagrangian torus fibers in some toric Fano manifolds continuing the study of \cite{CO}. Related $\AI$-formulas hold for transversal choice of chains. Two different computations are…

We give a description of the (small) quantum cohomology ring of the flag variety as a certain commutative subalgebra in the tensor product of the Nichols algebras. Our main result can be considered as a quantum analog of a result by Y.…

Let $G$ be a group acting continuously on a space $X$ and let $X/G$ be its orbit space. Determining the topological or cohomological type of the orbit space $X/G$ is a classical problem in the theory of transformation groups. In this paper,…

We derive for Bohmian mechanics topological factors for quantum systems with a multiply-connected configuration space Q. These include nonabelian factors corresponding to what we call holonomy-twisted representations of the fundamental…

We investigate in the simplest compact D=4 N=1 Type IIB orientifold models the sigma-model symmetry suggested by the proposed duality of these models to heterotic orbifold vacua. This symmetry is known to be present at the classical level,…

Let A_r be the minimal resolution of the cyclic quotient singularity C^2/Z_{r+1}. We study the equivariant quantum cohomology ring of the n-fold symmetric product stack [Sym^n(A_r)] of A_r. We calculate the operators of quantum…

We present an algebraic structure that provides an interesting and novel link between supersymmetry and quantum integrability. This structure underlies two classes of models that are exactly solvable in 1-dimension and belong to the $1/r^2…
