This is a rough write-up of my lecture at Kinosaki and two lectures at RIMS workshops in Dec 1996, on work in progress that has not yet reached any really worthwhile conclusion, but contains lots of fun calculations. History of Vafa's…
We consider versions of the local duality theorem in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We show that there exist canonical pairings in these versions of the duality theorem which can be expressed explicitly in terms of residues of Grothendieck, or in terms of…
We say that a two dimensional p-adic Galois representation of a number field F is weight two if it is de Rham with Hodge-Tate weights 0 and -1 equally distributed at each place above p; for example, the Tate module of an elliptic curve has…
A modular fusion category C allows one to define projective representations of the mapping class groups of closed surfaces of any genus. We show that if all these representations are irreducible, then C has a unique Morita-class of simple…
We consider the subalgebras of split real, non-twisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras that are fixed by the Chevalley involution. These infinite-dimensional Lie algebras are not of Kac-Moody type and admit finite-dimensional unfaithful…
We explicitly construct the C*-algebras arising in the formalism of Topological T-duality due to Mathai and Rosenberg from string-theoretic data in several key examples. We construct a continuous-trace algebra with an action of ${\mathbb…
Proving representability of derived moduli stacks of solutions to non-linear elliptic partial differential equations generally requires significant analytic machinery. In this paper, we instead show that representability naturally follows…
We construct a certain completion $C^\infty_\mathfrak{g}$ of the universal enveloping algebra of a triangular real Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. It is a Fr\'echet-Arens-Michael algebra that consists of elements of polynomial growth and…
We develop an algebraic formalism for topological $\mathbb{T}$-duality. More precisely, we show that topological $\mathbb{T}$-duality actually induces an isomorphism between noncommutative motives that in turn implements the well-known…
These Lectures are based on a course on noncommutative geometry given by the author in 2003 at the University of Chicago. The lectures contain some standard material, such as Poisson and Gerstenhaber algebras, deformations, Hochschild…
We construct a generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebras using smooth maps from the non-compact manifolds ${\cal M}=$SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and ${\cal M}=$ SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$ to a finite-dimensional simple Lie group $G$. This construction is…
These are lecture notes on non-K\"ahler complex threefolds presented at the MATRIX program ``The geometry of moduli spaces in string theory''. We review some basics of Calabi-Yau geometry in Section 1, describe topological features of the…
In this article we study Cohen-Macaulay modules over one-dimensional hypersurface singularities and the relationship with the representation theory of associative algebras using methods of cluster tilting theory. We give a criterion for…
Below we discuss the existence of a motherbody measure for the exterior inverse problem in potential theory in the complex plane. More exactly, we study the question of representability almost everywhere (a.e.) in C of (a branch of) an…
Given a fixed binary form $f(u,v)$ of degree $d$ over a field $k$, the associated \emph{Clifford algebra} is the $k$-algebra $C_f=k\{u,v\}/I$, where $I$ is the two-sided ideal generated by elements of the form $(\alpha u+\beta…
We associate to a pseudomanifold $X$ with isolated singularities a differentiable groupoid $G$ which plays the role of the tangent space of $X$. We construct a Dirac element $D$ and a Dual Dirac element $\lambda$ such that $D$ and $\lambda$…
The article is devoted to some ``strange'' phenomena of representation theory and their interrelations. Cross-projective representations of pairs of anticommutative algebras, alloys, their universal envelopping Lie algebras and their…
We consider all theories with eight supersymmetries whose reduction to three dimensions gives rise to scalars that parametrise symmetric manifolds. We conjecture that these theories are non-linear realisations of very-extended Kac-Moody…
We compute the K-theory of ring C*-algebras for polynomial rings over finite fields. The key ingredient is a duality theorem which we had obtained in a previous paper. It allows us to show that the K-theory of these algebras has a ring…
These are informal lecture notes for a three-hour minicourse on Kac-Moody groups, given at the workshop "Kac-Moody geometry" in July 2023 in Kiel. They provide a concise overview of the book "An introduction to Kac-Moody groups over…
