We discuss various symmetry properties of the N = 2 supersymmetric quantum spin model in one (0 + 1)-dimension of spacetime and provide their relevance in the realm of the mathematics of differential geometry. We show one-to-one mapping…

The discrete picture of geometry arising from the loop representation of quantum gravity can be extended by a quantum deformation. The operators for area and volume defined in the q-deformation of the theory are partly diagonalized. The…

In this talk new formulations of the Green--Schwarz heterotic strings in $D$ dimensions that involve commuting spinors, are reviewed. These models are invariant under $n$--extended, world sheet supersymmetry as well as under $N=1$, target…

We introduce gamma structures on regular hypergeometric D--modules in dimension 1 as special one--parametric systems of solutions on the compact subtorus. We note that a balanced gamma product is in the Paley--Wiener class and show that the…

We study proper, isometric actions of nonsolvable discrete groups Gamma on the 3-dimensional Minkowski space R^{2,1} as limits of actions on the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS^3. To each such action is associated a deformation of a…

Let $D$ be a bounded homogeneous domain in $\mbb{C}^n$ and let $\Gamma$ be a cyclic discrete subgroup of the automorphism group of $D$. It is shown that the complex space $D/\Gamma$ is Stein.

Let $\Sigma_d$ denote the symmetric group of degree $d$ and let $K$ be a field of positive characteristic $p$. For $p>2$ we give an explicit description of the first cohomology group $H^1(\Sigma_d,{\rm{Sp}}(\lambda))$, of the Specht module…

We present all isotropy groups and associated $\Sigma$ groups, up to discrete identifications of the component connected to the identity, of spinors of eleven-dimensional and type II supergravities. The $\Sigma$ groups are products of a…

We summarize some results obtained on the problem of gauging the Wess--Zumino term of a d-dimensional bosonic sigma-model. We show that gauged WZ-like terms are in one-to-one correspondence with equivariant cocycles of the target space. By…

We investigate ten-dimensional gauge theories whose extra six-dimensional space is a compact coset space, $S/R$, and gauge group is a direct product of two Lie groups. We list up candidates of the gauge group and embeddings of $R$ into…

Using the methods developed in earlier papers we analyze a new type of deformation of the superspace. The twist we use to deform the N=1 SUSY Hopf algebra is non-hermitian and is given in terms of the covariant derivatives $D_\alpha$. A…

In this paper we revisit the problem of finding hidden symmetries in quantum mechanical systems. Our interest in this problem was renewed by nontrivial degeneracies of a simple spin Hamiltonian used to model spin relaxation in alkali-metal…

The swing-twist decomposition is a standard routine in motion planning for humanoid limbs. In this paper the decomposition formulas are derived and discussed in terms of Clifford algebra. With the decomposition one can express an arbitrary…

Smale space is a particular class of hyperbolic topological dynamical systems, defined by David Ruelle. The third author constructed a homology theory for Smale spaces which is based on Krieger's dimension group invariant for shifts of…

N-particle quantum mechanics described by a sigma model with an N-dimensional target space with torsion is considered. It is shown that an SL(2,R) conformal symmetry exists if and only if the geometry admits a homothetic Killing vector…

We show how certain diffeomorphism-invariant functionals on differential forms in dimensions 6,7 and 8 generate in a natural way special geometrical structures in these dimensions: metrics of holonomy G2 and Spin(7), metrics with weak…

With a view towards future applications in nuclear physics, the fermion realization of the compact symplectic sp(4) algebra and its q-deformed versions are investigated. Three important reduction chains of the sp(4) algebra are explored in…

We consider a non-supersymmetric example of the AdS/CFT duality which generalizes the supersymmetric exactly marginal deformation constructed in hep-th/0502086. The string theory background we use was found in hep-th/0503201 from the AdS_5…
