By introducing a generalized notion of multiple zeta values associated with an arbitrary finite subset $S\subset \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ and studying their transformation properties under rational functions, we show that multiple…
We analyze pole skipping of stress tensor two-point functions in two-dimensional quantum field theories perturbed away from conformality by a relevant deformation. The retarded two-point Green's function can be formally computed in…
We present a new formulation for N=1, D=10 supergravity in superspace, in presence of a Lorentz Chern-Simons-form. This formulation entails the following properties: it furnishes a solution of the Bianchi identities that is algebraically…
In this paper we prove the Gromov--Milman conjecture (the Dvoretzky type theorem) for homogeneous polynomials on $\mathbb R^n$, and improve bounds on the number $n(d,k)$ in the analogous conjecture for odd degrees $d$ (this case is known as…
We derive a first-order formalism for solving $(2+1)$ gravity on Riemann surfaces, analogously to the recently discovered classical solutions for $N$ moving particles. We choose the York time gauge and the conformal gauge for the spatial…
It is shown, at the level of the classical action, that the Wess-Zumino-Witten-Novikov model is equivalent to a combined BF theory and a Chern-Simons action in the presence of a unique boundary term. This connection relies on the techniques…
We build a variant of Collatz Conjecture for polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_2$ and we prove that it is solved. By the way, we give several examples.
We write down the supermembrane actions for M-theory backgrounds dual to general ${\cal N}=2$ four-dimensional superconformal field theories. The actions are given to all orders in fermions and are in a particular $\kappa$-gauge. When an…
In this paper, we prove two supercongruences conjectured by Z.-W. Sun via the Wilf-Zeilberger method. One of them is, for any prime $p>3$, \begin{align*} \sum_{n=0}^{p-1}\frac{6n+1}{256^n}\binom{2n}n^3&\equiv…
Based on the extended BRST formalism of Batalin, Fradkin and Vilkovisky, we perform a general algebraic analysis of the BRST anomalies in superstring theory of Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond. Consistency conditions on the BRST anomalies are…
A well-known conjecture of Gross and Zagier states that the values of the higher automorphic Green's function at pairs of points with complex multiplication in the upper half-plane are proportional to the logarithm of an algebraic number.…
In \cite{Covolo:2016}, \cite{Covolo:2012} and \cite{Poncin:2016}, we introduced the category of colored supermanifolds ($\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-super\-ma\-ni\-folds or just $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-manifolds…
We introduce the analytic superspace formalism for six-dimensional $(N,0)$ superconformal field theories. Concentrating on the $(2,0)$ theory we write down the Ward identities for correlation functions in the theory and show how to solve…
We classify $\mathcal N = 2$ Minkowski$_4$ solutions of IIB supergravity with an $SU(2)_R$ symmetry geometrically realized by an $S^2$-foliation in the remaining six dimensions. For the various cases of the classification, we reduce the…
We construct an action of a polynomial ring on the colored sl(2) link homology of Cooper-Krushkal, over which this homology is finitely generated. We define a new, related link homology which is finite dimensional, extends to tangles, and…
We compute the Zariski closure of the Kontsevich-Zorich monodromy groups arising from certain square tiled surfaces that are geometrically motivated. Specifically we consider three surfaces that emerge as translation covers of platonic…
We discuss a class of two-point functions on the torus of primary operators in the SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten model at integer level k. In particular, we construct an explicit expression for the current blocks of the spin-k/2-spin-k/2 torus…
This is a sequel to [SIGMA 9 (2013), 007, 23 pages, arXiv:1210.1177], in which there is a construction of a $2\times2$ positive-definite matrix function $K (x)$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. The entries of $K(x)$ are expressed in terms of…
The Wess-Zumino model on N=1/2 nonanticommutative superspace, which contains the dimension-6 term F^3, is shown to be renormalizable to all orders in perturbation theory, upon adding F and F^2 terms to the original Lagrangian. The…
A proof is given of Polyakov conjecture about the accessory parameters of the SU(1,1) Riemann-Hilbert problem for general elliptic singularities on the Riemann sphere. Its relevance to 2+1 dimensional gravity is stressed.
