More general constructions are given of six-dimensional theories that look at low energy like six-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory. The constructions start with either parallel fivebranes in Type IIB, or M-theory on…
In a previous paper the second author showed that if $M$ is a pseudomanifold with complementarity other than the 6-vertex real projective plane and the 9-vertex complex projective plane, then $M$ must have dimension $\geq 6$, and - in case…
We analyze a gauge-Higgs unification model which is based on a gauge theory defined on a six-dimensional spacetime with an $S^2$ extra-space. We impose a symmetry condition for a gauge field and non-trivial boundary conditions of the $S^2$.…
We study relativistic self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs systems in the presence of uniform background fields that explicitly break CTP. A rich, but discrete vacuum structure is found when the gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken, while the…
We point out that any stable generalized complex structure on a sphere bundle over a closed surface of genus at least two must be of constant type.
This paper proves the existence of homeomorphic (diffeomorphic) complex 6-dimensional (7-dim) complete intersections that belong to components of the moduli space of different dimensions. These results are given as a supplement to earlier…
Complex and Hermitian structures on hom-Lie algebras are introduced and some examples of these structures are presented. Also, it is shown that there not exists a proper complex (Hermitian) home-Lie algebra of dimension two. Then using a…
We find a general expression for the free energy of $G(\phi)=\phi^{2k}$ generalized 2D Yang-Mills theories in the strong ($A>A_c$) region at large $N$. We also show that in this region, the density function of Young tableau of these models…
We analyze the gauge structure of a recently proposed superconformal field theory in six dimensions. We find that this structure amounts to a weak Courant-Dorfman algebra, which, in turn, can be interpreted as a strong homotopy Lie algebra.…
A classical phase space with a suitable symplectic structure is constructed together with functions which have Poisson brackets algebraically identical to the Lie algebra structure of the Lie group SU(n). In this phase space we show that…
By placing a collection of membranes in 11 dimensional background supergravity six form field and considering the non-linear action of multiple membranes we obtain the potential for transverse scalar fields of membranes and study some…
This paper deals with complex structures on Lie algebras $\ct_{\pi} \hh=\hh \ltimes_{\pi} V$, where $\pi$ is either the adjoint or the coadjoint representation. The main topic is the existence question of complex structures on $\ct_{\pi}…
In this PhD thesis, we give a new geometric approach to higher Teichm\"uller theory. In particular we construct a geometric structure on surfaces, generalizing the complex structure, and we explore its link to Hitchin components. The…
Duality transformations within the quantum mechanics of a finite number of degrees of freedom can be regarded as the dependence of the notion of a quantum, i.e., an elementary excitation of the vacuum, on the observer on classical phase…
We establish a loop space decomposition for certain $CW$-complexes with a single top cell in the presence of a spherical pair, thereby generalizing several known decompositions of Poincar\'{e} duality complexes in which a loop of a product…
We show that there is an almost complex structure on a differential calculus on finite points coming from a bidirected finite graph without multiple edges or loops. We concentrate on a polygon as a concrete case. In particular, a…
We propose a new class of four-dimensional theories for natural electroweak symmetry breaking, relying neither on supersymmetry nor on strong dynamics at the TeV scale. The new TeV physics is perturbative, and radiative corrections to the…
Given a $2k$-dimensional symplectic space $(Z,F)$ in $N$ variables, $1 < 2k \leq N$, over a global field $K$, we prove the existence of a symplectic basis for $(Z,F)$ of bounded height. This can be viewed as a version of Siegel's lemma for…
String landscape ideas and the observation of a positive vacuum energy in the current universe suggest that there could be a future transition to an exactly supersymmetric world. Atomic and molecular binding in this susy background probably…
A solution of the vortex type is given in a six-dimensional $SU(2)\times U(1)$ pure gauge theory coupled to Einstein gravity in a compactified background geometry. We construct the solution of an effective abelian Higgs model in terms of…
