We construct new topological theories related to sigma models whose target space is a seven dimensional manifold of G_2 holonomy. We define a new type of topological twist and identify the BRST operator and the physical states. Unlike the…
We construct a new representation for two- and three-point correlators of operators from sl(2) sector of planar N = 4 SYM. The spin and twist of operators are arbitrary. We start with the correlation function of light-ray operators and…
De Rham cohomology with spacelike compact and timelike compact supports has recently been noticed to be of importance for understanding the structure of classical and quantum Maxwell theory on curved spacetimes. Similarly causally…
We consider semi-direct products $\C^{n}\ltimes_{\phi}N$ of Lie groups with lattices $\Gamma$ such that $N$ are nilpotent Lie groups with left-invariant complex structures. We compute the Dolbeault cohomology of direct sums of holomorphic…
Let $(S,L)$ be a Lie-Rinehart algebra such that $L$ is $S$-projective and let $U$ be its universal enveloping algebra. In this paper we present a spectral sequence which converges to the Hochschild cohomology of $U$ with values on a…
Symmetry operators of twistor spinors and harmonic spinors can be constructed from conformal Killing-Yano forms. Transformation operators relating twistors to harmonic spinors are found in terms of potential forms. These constructions are…
Let O be the minimal nilpotent adjoint orbit in a classical complex semisimple Lie algebra g. O is a smooth quasi-affine variety stable under the Euler dilation action $C^*$ on g. The algebra of differential operators on O is D(O)=D(Cl(O))…
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and $\Gamma$ a group acting on $M$ by diffeomorphisms; which means that there is a group morphism $\rho:\Gamma\rightarrow \mathrm{Diff}(M)$ from $\Gamma$ to the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$. For any such…
Let $M= G/\Gamma$ be a compact nilmanifold endowed with an invariant complex structure. We prove that, on an open set of any connected component of the moduli space ${\cal C} ({\frak g})$ of invariant complex structures on $M$, the…
In this expository paper we give an elementary, hands-on computation of the homology of the little disks operad, showing that the homology of a $d-fold loop space is a Poisson algebra. One aim is to familiarize a greater audience with…
Given a CMC surface in $R^3$, its traceless second fundamental form can be viewed as a holomorphic section called the Hopf differential. By analogy, we show that for an associative submanifold of a 7-manifold $M^7$ with $G_2$-structure, its…
We study conformal $Spin$-subgeometry of submanifolds in a semi-Riemannian $Spin$-manifold, focusing on conformal $Spin$-manifolds $(M,[h])$ and their Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics $(X,g_+)$. Our approach is based on the spectral theory of…
We investigate the superalgebra of derivations generated by the fundamental forms on manifolds with reduced structure group. In particular, we point out a relation between the algebra of derivations of heterotic geometries that admit…
In this paper we extend to the difference case the notion of Poisson-Lichnerowicz cohomology, an object encapsulating the building blocks for the theory of deformations of Hamiltonian operators. A local scalar difference Hamiltonian…
It is widely accepted that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) generally locks spin and spatial degrees of freedom, as a result, the spin, despite being an axial vector, is fixed and cannot rotate independently, and the magnetic system should be…
We investigate the symmetry algebras of integrable spin Calogero systems constructed from Dunkl operators associated to finite Coxeter groups. Based on two explicit examples, we show that the common view of associating one symmetry algebra…
We show that the supersymmetry transformations for type II string theories on six-manifolds can be written as differential conditions on a pair of pure spinors, the exponentiated Kahler form exp(iJ) and the holomorphic form Omega. The…
The main purpose of this paper is to give a mathematical definition of ``mirror symmetry'' for Calabi-Yau and G_2 manifolds. More specifically, we explain how to assign a G_2 manifold (M,\phi,\Lambda), with the calibration 3-form \phi and…
Given a central arrangement of lines $\mathcal{A}$ in a $2$-dimensional vector space $V$ over a field of characteristic zero, we study the algebra $\mathcal D(\mathcal A)$ of differential operators on $V$ which are logarithmic along…
In this paper we clarify the relations occurring among the osp(1|32) algebra, the M-algebra and the hidden superalgebra underlying the Free Differential Algebra of D=11 supergravity (to which we will refer as DF-algebra) that was introduced…
