Using a contraction procedure, we construct a twist operator that satisfies a shifted cocycle condition, and leads to the Jordanian quasi-Hopf U_{h;y}(sl(2)) algebra. The corresponding universal ${\cal R}_{h}(y)$ matrix obeys a…
In recent years, a close connection between supergravity, string effective actions and generalized geometry has been discovered that typically involves a doubling of geometric structures. We investigate this relation from the point of view…
Conventional wisdom dictates that $\mathbb{Z}_N$ factors in the integral cohomology group $H^p(X_n, \mathbb{Z})$ of a compact manifold $X_n$ cannot be computed via smooth $p$-forms. We revisit this lore in light of the dimensional reduction…
Given a symmetric quiver with potential, we develop a geometric construction of shifted Yangians acting on the critical cohomologies of antidominantly framed quiver varieties with extended potentials, using the $R$-matrices constructed from…
Let $A$ be a $k$-algebra where $k$ is an algebraically closed field and $G$ be a finite abelian group for which the characteristic of $k$ does not divide $|G|$. If $G$ acts on $A$ by $k$-algebra automorphisms then the action induces a…
This paper develops new aspects of the interplay between shifted symplectic geometry and classical Poisson geometry, focusing on lagrangian morphisms into 2-shifted symplectic groups. We establish a Lie-type correspondence between such…
A quantization of Lie-Poisson algebras is studied. Classical solutions of the mass-deformed Ishibashi-Kawai-Kitazawa-Tsuchiya (IKKT) matrix model can be constructed from semisimple Lie algebras whose dimension matches the number of matrices…
We study the holomorphic twist of 3d ${\cal N}=2$ gauge theories in the presence of boundaries, and the algebraic structure of bulk and boundary local operators. In the holomorphic twist, both bulk and boundary local operators form chiral…
Starting with minimal requirements from the physical experience with higher gauge theories, i.e. gauge theories for a tower of differential forms of different form degrees, we discover that all the structural identities governing such…
We construct commuting families in fraction fields of symmetric powers of algebras. The classical limit of this construction gives Poisson commuting families associated with linear systems. In the case of a K3 surface S, they correspond to…
The quantization problem for the trace-bracket algebra, derived from double Poisson brackets, is discussed. We obtain a generalization of the boundary YBE (or so-called ABCD-algebra) for the quantization of quadratic trace-brackets. A…
We introduce a new type of algebra, the Courant-Dorfman algebra. These are to Courant algebroids what Lie-Rinehart algebras are to Lie algebroids, or Poisson algebras to Poisson manifolds. We work with arbitrary rings and modules, without…
This is the first in a series of papers in which I investigate the orbifolds of permutation-type as candidates for {\it new physical string systems} at multiples of critical closed-string central charges. Examples include the bosonic…
We provide an explicit quantization of dynamical r-matrices for semisimple Lie algebras, classified earlier by the third author, which includes the Belavin-Drinfeld r-matrices. We do so by constructing an appropriate (dynamical) twist in…
We geometrize the constructions of twisted Poisson modules introduced by Luo-Wang-Wu, and Poisson chain complexes with coefficients in Poisson modules defined in the algebraic setting to the geometric setting of Poisson manifolds. We then…
Let $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ be a quantized affine Lie algebra. It is proven that the universal R-matrix $R$ of $U_q(\hat{\cal G})$ satisfies the celebrated conjugation relation $R^\dagger=TR$ with $T$ the usual twist map. As applications, braid…
Quantum $r$-Airy structures can be constructed as modules of $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{gl}_r)$-algebras via restriction of twisted modules for the underlying Heisenberg algebra. In this paper we classify all such higher quantum Airy structures…
We consider the relativistic phase space coordinates (x_{\mu},p_{\mu}) as composite, described by functions of the primary pair of twistor coordinates. It appears that if twistor coordinates are canonicaly quantized the composite space-time…
An infinite family of quasi-maximally superintegrable Hamiltonians with a common set of (2N-3) integrals of the motion is introduced. The integrability properties of all these Hamiltonians are shown to be a consequence of a hidden…
