The quantum flag manifold ${SU_q(3)/\mathbb{T}^2}$ is interpreted as a noncommutative bundle over the quantum complex projective plane with the quantum or Podle\'s sphere as a fibre. A connection arising from the (associated) quantum…

We show that the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Walker invariant of 3-manifolds can be normalized to obtain an invariant of 4-dimensional thickenings of 2-complexes. Moreover when the underlying semisimple tortile category comes from the…

We show that the quantum covering group associated to osp(1|2n) has an associated colored quantum knot invariant \`a la Reshetikhin-Turaev, which specializes to a quantum knot invariant for osp(1|2n), and to the usual quantum knot invariant…

The minimal Standard Model exhibits a nontrivial chiral U(2) symmetry if the vev and the hypercharge splitting (Delta) of right-handed leptons (quarks) in a family vanish and Q=T_0 + Y independently in each helicity sector. As a…

We construct a Liouville superconformal field theory with eight real supercharges in four dimensions. The Liouville superfield is an $\mathcal{N}=2$ chiral superfield with sixteen bosonic and sixteen fermionic component fields. Its lowest…

The central notion in Connes' formulation of non commutative geometry is that of a spectral triple. Given a homogeneous space of a compact quantum group, restricting our attention to all spectral triples that are `well behaved' with respect…

We consider the semi-direct products $G=\mathbb Z^2\rtimes GL_2(\mathbb Z), \mathbb Z^2\rtimes SL_2(\mathbb Z)$ and $\mathbb Z^2\rtimes\Gamma(2)$ (where $\Gamma(2)$ is the congruence subgroup of level 2). For each of them, we compute both…

We present theories of N=2 hypermultiplets in four spacetime dimensions that are invariant under rigid or local superconformal symmetries. The target spaces of theories with rigid superconformal invariance are (4n)-dimensional {\it special}…

The odd symplectic Grassmannian $\mathrm{IG}:=\mathrm{IG}(k, 2n+1)$ parametrizes $k$ dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$ which are isotropic with respect to a general (necessarily degenerate) symplectic form. The odd symplectic…

We compute the spectral action of $SU(2)/\Gamma$ with the trivial spin structure and the round metric and find it in each case to be equal to $\frac{1}{|\Gamma|} (\Lambda^3 \hat{f}^{(2)}(0) - 1/4\Lambda \hat{f}(0))+ O(\Lambda^{-\infty})$.…

We study the heterotic string compactified on K3 x T^2 near the line T=U, where the effective action becomes singular due to an SU(2) gauge symmetry enhancement. By `integrating in' the light W^\pm vector multiplets we derive a quantum…

Computation of the K- and KO-theory for the classifying G-spaces for proper actions of certain infinite discrete groups G via a special version of the equivariant Atiyah- Hirzebruch spectral sequence.

We equip Ellis and Brundan's version of the odd categorified quantum group for sl(2) with a differential giving it the structure of a graded dg-2-supercategory. The presence of the super grading gives rise to two possible…

Classification of N=4 superconformal symmetries in two dimensions is re-examined. It is proposed that apart from SU(2) and $SU(2)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ their Kac-Moody symmetry can also be $SU(2)\times(U(1))^4$. These superconformal…

We give a detailed description of the model construction procedures about our new approach to the family structure of the standard model. SM-like chiral fermion spectra, largely "derivable" from the gauge anomaly constraints, are formulated…

Type-IIB supersymmetric theories have an SL(2,Z) invariance, known as U-duality, which controls the non-perturbative behavior of the theory. Under SL(2,Z) the supercharges are doublets, implying that the bosonic charges would be singlets or…

This is the third of a series of papers on a new equivariant cohomology that takes values in a vertex algebra, and contains and generalizes the classical equivariant cohomology of a manifold with a Lie group action a la H. Cartan. In this…

The equivariant CR minimal immersions from the round $3$-sphere $S^3$ into the complex projective space $\mathbb CP^n$ have been classified by the third author explicitly (J London Math Soc 68: 223-240, 2003). In this paper, by employing…

We calculate the ordinary $C_2$-cohomology, with Burnside ring coefficients, of $BU(2)$, the classifying space for $C_2$-equivariant complex 2-plane bundles, using an extended grading that allows us to capture a more natural set of…

An analogue of a spectral triple over SUq(2) is constructed for which the usual assumption of bounded commutators with the Dirac operator fails. An analytic expression analogous to that for the Hochschild class of the Chern character for…
