Let $\mathcal{K}=(K,v,\ldots)$ be a dp-minimal expansion of a non-trivially valued field of characteristic $0$ and $\mathcal{F}$ an infinite field interpretable in $\mathcal{K}$. Assume that $\mathcal{K}$ is one of the following: (i)…

We show how the framework of crossed simplicial groups may be used to provide a classification of topological field theories on open cobordism categories defined by reductions of the structure group to a planar Lie group. Such theories are…

The text is based on notes from a class entitled {\em Model Theory of Berkovich Spaces}, given at the Hebrew University in the fall term of 2009, and retains the flavor of class notes. It includes an exposition of material from…

We give an example of a dense o-minimal structure in which there is a definable quotient that cannot be eliminated, even after naming parameters. Equivalently, there is an interpretable set which cannot be put in parametrically definable…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $\mathcal{O}$ be an order in $K$. We construct class fields associated with form class groups which are isomorphic to certain $\mathcal{O}$-ideal class groups in terms of the theory of canonical…

Higher genus partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories have to be invariants under linear actions of mapping class groups. We illustrate recent results [4,6] on the construction of such invariants by concrete…

The aim of this project is to attach a geometric structure to the ring of integers. It is generally assumed that the spectrum $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$ defined by Grothendieck serves this purpose. However, it is still not clear what…

In this paper, using some properties of fundamental groups and covering spaces of connected polyhedra and CW-complexes, we present topological proof for some famous theorems about finitely presented groups.

Let $T$ be a (first order complete) dependent theory, ${\mathfrak{C}}$ a $\bar\kappa$-saturated model of $T$ and $G$ a definable subgroup which is abelian. Among subgroups of bounded index which are the union of $<\bar\kappa$ type definable…

We discuss progress towards the classification of irreducible admissible representations of reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields and the local Langlands correspondence. We also state some (partly conjectural) compatibility…

We prove that if a finite group scheme $G$ over a field $k$ has essential dimension one, then it embeds in $PGL_{2/k}$. We use this to give an explicit classification of all infinitesimal group schemes of essential dimension one over any…

We study some problems in metric Diophantine approximation over local fields of positive characteristic.

We investigate when a computable automorphism of a computable field can be effectively extended to a computable automorphism of its (computable) algebraic closure. We then apply our results and techniques to study effective embeddings of…

The main properties of indefinite Kac-Moody and Borcherds algebras, considered in a unified way as Lorentzian algebras, are reviewed. The connection with the conformal field theory of the vertex operator construction is discussed. By the…

We give a classification of maximal elements of the set of finite groups that can be realized as the full automorphism groups of polarized abelian surfaces over finite fields.

In this paper we constructed integrable defects in complex sine-Gordon theory. Soliton and particle interactions with the defect are analysed. Defects are used to dress Dirichlet boundaries to create a wider class of integrable boundary…

This is an introduction to two-dimensional conformal field theory and its applications in string theory. Modern concepts of conformal field theory are explained, and it is outlined how they are used in recent studies of D-branes in the…

An overview is given of the various expansions of fields and fusions of strongly minimal sets obtained by means of Hrushovski's amalgamation method, as well as a characterization of the groups definable in these structures.

We elaborate on a recently proposed geometric framework for scalar effective field theories. Starting from the action, a metric can be identified that enables the construction of geometric quantities on the associated functional manifold.…

We study definable sets, groups, and fields in the theory $T_\infty$ of infinite-dimensional vector spaces over an algebraically closed field equipped with a nondegenerate symmetric (or alternating) bilinear form. First, we define an…
