We define algebraic structures on graph cohomology and prove that they correspond to algebraic structures on the cohomology of the spaces of imbeddings of S^1 or R into R^n. As a corollary, we deduce the existence of an infinite number of…
We present a systematic construction of classical extended superconformal algebras from the hamiltonian reduction of a class of affine Lie superalgebras, which include an even subalgebra $sl(2)$. In particular, we obtain the doubly extended…
This paper belongs to a series devoted to the study of the cohomology of classifying spaces. Generalizing the Weil algebra of a Lie algebra and Kalkman's BRST model, here we introduce the Weil algebra $W(A)$ associated to any Lie algebroid…
We develop a ready-to-use comprehensive theory for (super) 2-vector bundles over smooth manifolds. It is based on the bicategory of (super) algebras, bimodules, and intertwiners as a model for 2-vector spaces. We discuss symmetric monoidal…
Anomalies of a quantum field theory (QFT) constitute fundamental non-perturbatively robust data. In this paper we extract anomalies of 5D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) directly from the underlying extra-dimensional geometry. We show…
This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…
We study the $S$-arithmetic (co)homology of reductive groups over number fields with coefficients in (duals of) certain locally algebraic and locally analytic representations for finite sets of primes $S$. We use our results to construct…
This is a companion paper of a long work appeared in [1] discussing the super-Chern-Simons theory on supermanifolds. Here, it is emphasized that the BV formalism is naturally formulated using integral forms for any supersymmetric and…
We give general expressions for singular vectors of the N=2 superconformal algebra in the form of {\it monomials} in the continued operators by which the universal enveloping algebra of N=2 is extended. We then show how the algebraic…
Q-groupoids and Q-algebroids are, respectively, supergroupoids and superalgebroids that are equipped with compatible homological vector fields. These new objects are closely related to the double structures of Mackenzie; in particular, we…
We introduce a new spectral sequence for the study of $\mathcal{K}$-manifolds which arises by restricting the spectral sequence of a Riemannian foliation to forms invariant under the flows of $\{\xi_1,...,\xi_s\}$. We use this sequence to…
A general construction is found for `topological' singular vectors of the twisted N=2 superconformal algebra. It demonstrates many parallels with the known construction for sl(2) singular vectors due to Malikov--Feigin--Fuchs, but is…
A vertex-algebraic analogue of the Lie algebroid complex is constructed, which generalizes the "small" chiral de Rham complex on smooth manifolds. The notion of VSA-inductive sheaves is also introduced. This notion generalizes that of…
We determine the structure of geometrical superconformal anomalies for N=1 supersymmetric quantum field theories on curved superspace to all orders in h bar. For the massless Wess-Zumino model we show how these anomalies contribute to the…
We prove that any Bernstein algebra $(A, \omega)$ is isomorphic to a semidirect product $V \ltimes_{(\cdot, \, \Omega)} \, k$ associated to a commutative algebra $(V, \cdot)$ such that $(x^2)^2 = 0$, for all $x\in A$ and an idempotent…
We study skew-symmetrizable cluster algebras $\mathcal{A}$ associated with unpunctured surfaces $\tilde{\mathbf{S}}$ endowed with an orientation-preserving involution $\sigma$. We give a geometric realization of such cluster algebras by…
For a vertex operator algebra $V$ with conformal vector $\omega$, we consider a class of vertex operator subalgebras and their conformal vectors. They are called semi-conformal vertex operator subalgebras and semi-conformal vectors of…
We replace our earlier condition that physical states of the superstring have non-negative grading by the requirement that they are analytic in a new real commuting constant t which we associate with the central charge of the underlying…
In this paper, we define the singular Hochschild cohomology groups $HH_{sg}^i(A, A)$ of an associative $k$-algebra $A$ as morphisms from $A$ to $A[i]$ in the singular category $D_{sg}(A\otimes_k A^{op})$ for $i\in \mathbb{Z}$. We prove that…
We reveal a correspondence between the homological torsion of the Bianchi groups and new geometric invariants, which are effectively computable thanks to their action on hyperbolic space. We use it to explicitly compute their integral group…
