In this paper we describe a method for producing elements in the mod p cohomology of a discrete group of finite cohomological dimension. This provides a purely algebraic formulation of the theory of special cycles.
This note presents an elementary iterative construction of the generators for the complex $K$-groups $K_i(C(\SM^d))$ of the $d$-dimensional spheres. These generators are explicitly given as the restrictions of Dirac or Weyl Hamiltonians to…
We study M-theory compactified on a specific class of seven-dimensional manifolds with SU(3) structure. The manifolds can be viewed as a fibration of an arbitrary Calabi-Yau threefold over a circle, with a U-duality twist around the circle.…
We discuss generalised duality theory for monoidal categories and its applications to the categories of exact endofunctors, graded vector spaces, and topological vector spaces.
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…
For unitary, orthogonal and symplectic groups, we compute the dimension of the reduced Emerton-Gee stacks, and give an explicit description of their top-dimensional Chow group. Our results are unconditional when $p\neq 2$. The main…
We study orbifold group actions on locally defined fields upon M-theory branes in a three-form C-fields background. We derive some constraints from the consistency of the orbifold group actions. We show the possibility of the existence of…
We study T^{11-D-q}xT^q/Z_n orbifold compactifications of 11D supergravity and M-theory by a purely algebraic method. Using the mapping between scalar fields of toroidally compactified maximal supergravity and generators of the U-duality…
This is part I of a three-part series of papers, whose aim is to develop a theory of discrete localities. These generalize the p-local compact groups of Broto, Levi, and Oliver.
The discrete cocompact subgroups of the 5-dimensional Lie group G_53 are determined up to isomorphism. Each of their group C*-algebras is studied by determining all of its simple infinite dimensional quotient C*-algebras. The K-groups and…
We suggest a new generalization of Pontryagin duality from the category of Abelian locally compact groups to a category which includes all Moore groups, i.e. groups whose irreducible representations are finite-dimensional. Objects in this…
We derive the super Yang-Mills action of Dp-branes on a torus T^{p-4} from the nonabelian (2,0) theory with Lie 3-algebra. Our realization is based on Lie 3-algebra with pairs of Lorentzian metric generators. The resultant theory then has…
We study three exceptional theta correspondences for p-adic groups, where one member of the dual pair is the exceptional group G2. We prove the Howe duality conjecture for these dual pairs and a dichotomy theorem, and determine explicitly…
This paper studies unitary representations with Dirac cohomology for complex groups, in particular relations to unipotent representations
We have used the SmallGroups library of groups, together with the computer algebra systems GAP and Mathematica, to search for groups with a three-dimensional irreducible representation in which one of the group generators has a…
$p$-Adic compactifications of geometric loop and diffeomorphism groups of compact manifolds on finite-dimensional spaces over non-Archimedean fields are investigated. Weakened topology is introduced. The structure of newly constructed…
In this third paper in a series on type I Howe duality for finite fields, we give a complete description of the restriction of the oscillator representation over a finite field to products of dual pairs of symplectic and orthogonal groups…
In this work the exceptional field theory formulation of supergravity with SL(5) gauge group is considered. This group appears as a U-duality group of $D=7$ maximal supergravity. In the formalism presented the hidden global duality group is…
We investigate compactifications with duality twists and their relation to orbifolds and compactifications with fluxes. Inequivalent compactifications are classified by conjugacy classes of the U-duality group and result in gauged…
The sister of Eisenstein-Picard modular group was described in [8]. In this paper we give a similar definition of the sister of the Euclidean-Picard modular group and find its generators by using a geometric method.
