The first part of this paper completes the classification of Whitney towers in the 4-ball that was started in three related papers. We provide an algebraic framework allowing the computations of the graded groups associated to geometric…
Given an element $f$ in a regular local ring, we study matrix factorizations of $f$ with $d \ge 2$ factors, that is, we study tuples of square matrices $(\varphi_1,\varphi_2,\dots,\varphi_d)$ such that their product is $f$ times an identity…
There is an embedding of affine vertex algebras $V^k(\mathfrak{gl}_n) \hookrightarrow V^k(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})$, and the coset $\mathcal{C}^k(n) = \text{Com}(V^k(\mathfrak{gl}_n), V^k(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}))$ is a natural generalization of…
In the first part of this paper we study geometric formality for generalized flag manifolds, including full flag manifolds of exceptional Lie groups. In the second part we deal with the problem of the classification of invariant almost…
We establish new results concerning endomorphisms of a finite chain if the cardinality of the image of such endomorphism is no more than some fixed number k. The semiring of all such endomorphisms can be seen as a k - simplex whose vertices…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety of dimension $n\geq 2$. It is shown that a finite configuration of points on $X$ subject to certain geometric conditions possesses rich inner structure. On the mathematical level this inner structure…
Affine W-algebras are a somewhat complicated family of (topological) associative algebras associated with a semisimple Lie algebra, quantizing functions on the algebraic loop space of Kostant's slice. They have attracted a great deal of…
We present some of the group theoretic properties of reversing symmetry groups, and classify their structure in simple cases that occur frequently in several well-known groups of dynamical systems.
A model in which quarks and leptons consist of three "more elementary" particles of spin 1/2 is proposed. A gauge field theory with SU(4) symmetry that corresponds to this model predicts the existence of two new bosons.
We present the basic ideas of geometric engineering of the supersymmetric quantum field theories viewed as a low energy limit of type II strings and F-theory on singular Calabi Yau manifolds. We first give the main lines of toric geometry…
The general structure of the representation theory of a $Z_2$-graded coalgebra is discussed. The result contains the structure of Fourier analysis on compact supergroups and quantisations thereof as a special case. The general linear…
A construction of $W$-symmetries is given only in terms of the nonlocal fields (parafermions ${\ps}_{\al}$), which take values on the homogeneous space $G/U(1)^r$, where $G$ is a simply connected compact Lie group manifold (its accompanying…
In order to extrincate the structure of corings with a finitely generated and projective generator we give the notion of a comatrix coring. As consequences we give generalizations of the main characterizations of faithfully flat Galois…
We study geometry of the weak almost para-$f$-structure and its subclasses. This allow us to produce totally geodesic foliations and also to take a fresh look at the para-$f$-structure introduced by A.\,Bucki and A.\,Miernowski. We…
We study the local geometry of the pullback of a variety via a finite holomorphic map. In particular, we are looking for properties of $V = F^{-1}(W)$ such that if $V$ has the property $A$, then $W$ must have the property $A$. We show that…
We discuss an experimental approach to open problems in toric geometry: are smooth projective toric varieties (i) projectively normal and (ii) defined by degree 2 equations? We discuss the creation of lattice polytopes defining smooth toric…
We prove the stable rationality of almost simple algebraic groups, the connected components of the Dynkin diagram of anisotropic kernel of which contain at most two vertices. The (stable) rationality of many isotropic almost simple groups…
We study the 3-form flux $H_{\m\n\l}$ associated with the semi-classical geometry of $G/H$ gauged WZW models. We derive a simple, general expression for the flux in an orthonormal frame and use it to explicitly verify conformal invariance…
We introduce in this note the notion of the category of twisted Chow-Witt correspondences $CHW(k)$ over a field $k$ of characteristic different from $2$. Moreover, we show that over an infinite perfect field this category $CHW(k)$ admits a…
We study elliptic fibrations for F-theory compactifications realizing 4d and 6d supersymmetric gauge theories with abelian gauge factors. In the fibration these U(1) symmetries are realized in terms of additional rational sections. We…
