We formulate and solve the analog of the universal Conformal Ward Identity for the stress-energy tensor on a compact Riemann surface of genus $g>1$, and present a rigorous invariant formulation of the chiral sector in the induced…
Metrics of constant negative curvature on a compact Riemann surface are critical points of the Liouville action functional, which in recent constructions is rigorously defined as a class in a Cech-de Rham complex with respect to a suitable…
We formulate the Chern-Simons action for any compact Lie group using Deligne cohomology. This action is defined as a certain function on the space of smooth maps from the underlying 3-manifold to the classifying space for principal bundles.…
Deformations of compact Riemann surfaces are considered using a \v{C}ech cohomology sliding overlaps approach. Cocycles are calculated for conformal cutting and regluing deformations at zeros of Abelian differentials. A second order…
We construct an action of the graded double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) on the parabolic Hitchin complex, extending the affine Weyl group action constructed in \cite{GSI}. In particular, we get representations of the degenerate DAHA on the…
The partition function of rational conformal field theories (CFTs) on Riemann surfaces is expected to satisfy ODEs of Gauss-Manin type. We investigate the case of hyperelliptic surfaces and derive the ODE system for the $(2,5)$ minimal…
We introduce Deligne cohomology that classifies U(1) fibre bundles over 3-manifolds endowed with connections. We show how the structure of Deligne cohomology classes provides a way to perform exact (non-perturbative) computations in U(1)…
A classification of normal affine surfaces admitting a $\bf C^*$-action was given in the work of Bia{\l}ynicki-Birula, Fieseler and L. Kaup, Orlik and Wagreich, Rynes and others. We provide a simple alternative description of such surfaces…
In this article we extend Deligne's construction of Grothendieck's six operations on the derived category of torsion sheaves over the \'etale site of a scheme for morphisms of finite type to a larger class of morphisms. This class includes…
This work establishes the geometric component of Deligne's longstanding program on refined Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch formulas expressed through determinants of cohomology. The approach relies on a newly developed universal category of Chern…
Given a finite modular tensor category, we associate with each compact surface with boundary a cochain complex in such a way that the mapping class group of the surface acts projectively on its cohomology groups. In degree zero, this action…
The geometrical underpinnings of a specific class of Dirac operators is discussed. It is demonstrated how this class of Dirac operators allow to relate various geometrical functionals like, for example, the Yang-Mills action and the…
In this article, we construct Chern classes in rational Deligne cohomology for coherent sheaves on a smooth complex compact manifold. We prove that these classes verify the functoriality property under pullbacks, the Whitney formula and the…
Model wave functions constructed from (1+1)D conformal field theory (CFT) have played a vital role in studying chiral topologically ordered systems. There usually exist multiple degenerate ground states when such states are placed on the…
$N$-point functions of holomorphic fields in conformal field theories can be calculated by methods from algebraic geometry. We establish explicit formulas for the 2-point function of the Virasoro field on hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces of…
The goal of this paper is to prove Riemann-Roch type theorems for Deligne-Mumford algebraic stacks. To this end, we introduce a "cohomology with coefficients in representations" and a Chern character, and we prove a…
We consider the group $\mathcal G$ which is the semidirect product of the group of analytic functions with values in ${\mathbb C}^*$ on the circle and the group of analytic diffeomorphisms of the circle that preserve the orientation. Then…
The goal of this paper is to offer a new construction of the de Rham-Witt complex of smooth varieties over perfect fields of characteristic $p>0$. We introduce a category of cochain complexes equipped with an endomorphism $F$ of underlying…
Based on Teichm\"uller theory, we construct a degenerating family $\overline{Y}_g^{orb} \rightarrow \overline{M}_g^{orb}$ over the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space with the natural orbifold structure such that any…
We outline a cohomological treatment for multivalued (classical) action functionals. We point out that an application of Takens' theorem, after Zuckerman, Deligne and Freed, allows to conclude that multivalued functionals yield globally…
