For a nonconstant holomorphic map between projective Riemann surfaces with conformal metrics, we consider invariant Schwarzian derivatives and projective Schwarzian derivatives of general virtual order. We show that these two quantities are…
We deal with the construction of covariant derivatives for some quite general Ehresmann connections on fibre bundles. We show how the introduction of a vertical endomorphism allows construction of covariant derivatives separately on both…
We prove two results about vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces. First, on proper surfaces there are vector bundles of rank two with arbitrarily large second Chern number and fixed determinant. Second, on separated normal surfaces…
Let M(r) be the moduli space of rank r vector bundles with trivial determinant on a Riemann surface X . This space carries a natural line bundle, the determinant line bundle L . We describe a canonical isomorphism of the space of global…
The Gieseker-Uhlenbeck morphism maps the Gieseker moduli space of stable rank-2 sheaves on a smooth projective surface to the Uhlenbeck compactification, and is a generalization of the Hilbert-Chow morphism for Hilbert schemes of points.…
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (KZB) equation on an elliptic curve with a marked point is derived by the classical Hamiltonian reduction and further quantization. We consider classical Hamiltonian systems on cotangent bundle to the loop…
Exploiting the description of rings of differential operators as Azumaya algebras on cotangent bundles, we show that the moduli stack of flat connections on a curve (allowed to acquire orbifold points) defined over an algebraically closed…
We interprete results of Markman on monodromy operators as a universality statement for descendent integrals over moduli spaces of stable sheaves on $K3$ surfaces. This yields effective methods to reduce these descendent integrals to…
In these Notes, a comprehensive description of the universal fractal geometry of conformally-invariant scaling curves or interfaces, in the plane or half-plane, is given. The present approach focuses on deriving critical exponents…
The quantisation of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a circle is discussed in the case of $SU(N)$ at level $k$. The quantum commutation of the chiral vertex operators is described by an exchange relation with a braiding matrix, $Q$. Using…
A survey of some recent and important results which have to do with integrable equations and their relationship with the theory of surfaces is given. Some new results are also presented. The concept of the moving frame is examined, and it…
By exploiting a correspondence between Random Regge triangulations (i.e., Regge triangulations with variable connectivity) and punctured Riemann surfaces, we propose a possible characterization of the SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a…
Based on the combinatorial description of the moduli spaces of curves provided by Strebel differentials, Witten and Kontsevich have introduced combinatorial cohomology classes $W_{(m_0,m_1,m_2,\dots),n}$, and conjectured that these can be…
We consider the algebra of Hecke correspondences (elementary transformations at a single point) acting on the algebraic K-theory groups of the moduli spaces of stable sheaves on a smooth projective surface S. We derive quadratic relations…
We study superdifferential operators of order $2n+1$ which are covariant with respect to superconformal changes of coordinates on a compact super Riemann surface. We show that all such operators arise from super M\"obius covariant ones. A…
We find a remarkably simple relationship between the following two models of the tangent space to the Universal Teichm\"uller Space: (1) The real-analytic model consisting of Zygmund class vector fields on the unit circle; (2) The…
The ascent and descent of the Mittag-Leffler property were instrumental in proving Zariski locality of the notion of an (infinite dimensional) vector bundle by Raynaud and Gruson in \cite{RG}. More recently, relative Mittag-Leffler modules…
We study integration over functions on superspaces. These functions are invariant under a transformation which maps the whole superspace onto the part of the superspace which only comprises purely commuting variables. We get a compact…
We develop a combinatorial theory of vector bundles with connection on locally ordered simplicial complexes. This is a first step towards a discrete exterior calculus for bundle-valued forms. The basic building block is the discrete…
An introduction to $N=2$ rigid and local supersymmetry is given. The construction of the actions of vector multiplets is reviewed, defining special K\"ahler manifolds. Symplectic transformations lead to either isometries or symplectic…
