Let $Z$ be a hypersurface of a manifold $M$. The $b$-tangent bundle of $(M, Z)$, whose sections are vector fields tangent to $Z$, is used to study pseudodifferential operators and stable Poisson structures on $M$. In this paper we introduce…
The compact complex manifolds considered in this article are principal torus bundles over a torus. We consider the Kodaira Spencer map of the complete Appell Humbert family (introduced by the first author in Part I) and are able to show…
We study Matrix Quantum Mechanics on the Euclidean time orbifold $S_1/\mathbb{Z}_2$. Upon Wick rotation to Lorentzian time and taking the double-scaling limit this theory provides a toy model for a big-bang/big crunch universe in two…
We construct D=11 supergravity solutions dual to the twisted field theories arising when M-theory fivebranes wrap supersymmetric cycles. The cases considered are M-fivebranes wrapped on (i) a complex Lagrangian four-cycle in a D=8…
We study 2-cocycle twists, or equivalently Zhang twists, of semigroup algebras over a field k. If the underlying semigroup is affine, that is abelian, cancellative and finitely generated, then Spec k[S] is an affine toric variety over k,…
It is known that Berry curvature of the band structure of certain crystals can lead to effective noncommutativity between spatial coordinates. Using the techniques of twisted quantum field theory, we investigate the question of the…
We establish a correspondence between toroidal compactifications of M-theory and del Pezzo surfaces. M-theory on T^k corresponds to P^2 blown up at k generic points; Type IIB corresponds to P^1\times P^1. The moduli of compactifications of…
We construct a nonperturbative regularization for Euclidean noncommutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with four (N= (2,2)), eight (N= (4,4)) and sixteen (N= (8,8)) supercharges in two dimensions. The construction relies on orbifolds…
This work is devoted to a study of some of the non-perturbative aspects of superstring theory that have come within reach thanks to dualities. The first chapter gives a non-technical zero-equation introduction to these developments intended…
We use the Dijkgraaf-Vafa technique to study massive vacua of 6D SU(N) SYM theories on tori with R-symmetry twists. One finds a matrix model living on the compactification torus with a genus 2 spectral curve. The Jacobian of this curve is…
We carefully study the global structure of the solution of the $N=2$ supersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $SU(2)$ obtained by Seiberg and Witten. We exploit its ${\bf Z}_2$-symmetry and describe the curve in moduli space…
The problem with the U-duality transformation of membrane on $T^{n}$ is recently addressed in [arXiv:1509.02915 [hep-th]]. We will consider the U-duality transformation rule of membrane on $T^{n}\times R$. It turns out that winding modes on…
We introduce a twisted fiber bundle construction of quantum CSS codes over group algebras \(R=\mathbb F_2[G]\), where each base generator carries a generator-dependent \(R\)-linear fiber twist satisfying a flatness condition. This…
Recently an exact duality between topological string and the spectral theory of operators constructed from mirror curves to toric Calabi-Yau threefolds has been proposed. At the same time an exact quantization condition for the cluster…
We study the twisted $N=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled with the hypermultiplets (TQCD). We suggest that the family of TQCD can be served as a powerful tool for studying the quantum field theoretic properties of the underlying…
We consider the compactification of a Yang-Mills theory on a three-dimensional nilmanifold. The compactification generates a Yang-Mills theory in four space-time dimensions, coupled to a specific scalar sector. The compactification geometry…
We revisit the BPS spectrum of the supersymmetric CP(N-1) two-dimensional model with Z_N-symmetric twisted masses m_l (l=0,1, ..., N-1). A related issue we address is that of the curves of marginal stability (CMS) in this theory. Previous…
We study the notion of twisted bundles on noncommutative space. Due to the existence of projective operators in the algebra of functions on the noncommutative space, there are twisted bundles with non-constant dimension. The U(1) instanton…
We consider M-theory in the presence of M parallel M5-branes probing a transverse A_{N-1} singularity. This leads to a superconformal theory with (1,0) supersymmetry in six dimensions. We compute the supersymmetric partition function of…
In the present paper we propose a geometric model of the twisted K-theory corresponding to elements of finite order in $H^3(X, \mathbb{Z})\times [X, \BBSU_\otimes]$.
