The data of a "2D field theory with a closed string compactification" is an equivariant chain level action of a cell decomposition of the union of all moduli spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces with each component compactified as a…
This is the writeup of a lecture given at the May Wisconsin workshop on mathematical aspects of orbifold string theory. In the first part of this lecture, we review recent work on discrete torsion, and outline how it is currently understood…
We give a $K$-theoretic criterion for a quasi-projective variety to be smooth. If $\mathbb{L}$ is a line bundle corresponding to an ample invertible sheaf on $X$, it suffices that $K_q(X) = K_q(\mathbb{L})$ for all $q\le\dim(X)+1$.
The enumerative geometry of r-th roots of line bundles is the subject of Witten's conjecture and occurs in the calculation of Gromov-Witten invariants of orbifolds. It requires the definition of the suitable compact moduli stack and the…
In this paper, we give the oriented quantum algebra (abbr. OQA) structures on the tensor product of two different OQAs by using Chen's weak $\mathfrak{R}$-matrix in [J. Algebra 204(1998):504-531]. As a special case, the OQA structures on…
We use a G2-structure on a 7-dimensional Riemannian manifold with a fixed metric to define an octonion bundle with a fiberwise non-associative product. We then define a metric-compatible octonion covariant derivative on this bundle that is…
We refine the intersection product in homology to an equivariant setting, which unifies several known constructions. As an application, we give a common generalisation of the Chas-Sullivan string product on a manifold and the…
We give a sufficient criterion for the existence of the twisted convolution product of two tempered distributions as a tempered distribution, and we list examples of algebras with respect to this and related products contained in $\mathscr…
We define a ternary product and more generally a (2k+1)-ary product on the vector space T^p_q(E) of tensors of type (p, q) that is contravariant of order p, covariant of order q and total order (p+q). This product is totally associative up…
The goal of the present paper is the calculation of the equivariant twisted K-theory of a compact Lie group which acts on itself by conjugations, and elements of a TQFT-structure on the twisted K-groups. These results are originally due to…
Four-dimensional Kerr-Schild geometry contains two stringy structures. The first one is the closed string formed by the Kerr singular ring, and the second one is an open complex string with was obtained in the complex structure of the…
The theory of permutation orbifolds is reviewed and applied to the study of symmetric product orbifolds and the congruence subgroup problem. The issue of discrete torsion, the combinatorics of symmetric products, the Galois action and…
In this paper, we generalize the results in [Y. Wang: Affine connections on singular warped products. Int. J. Geom. Methods Mod. Phys. 18(5), 2150076, (2021).] to singular multiply warped products and singular twisted products. We study…
Withdrawn by the authors because the results of this paper are subsumed within and improved by the two papers 1. A plethora of inertial products and 2. Chern Classes and Compatible Power Operations in Inertial K-theory
We extend Geisser and Hesselholt's result on ``bi-relative K-theory'' from discrete rings to connective ring spectra. That is, if $\mathcal A$ is a homotopy cartesian $n$-cube of ring spectra (satisfying connectivity hypotheses), then the…
New relations involving curvature components for the various connections appearing in the theory of almost product manifolds are given and the conformal behaviour of these connections are studied. New identities for the irreducible parts of…
Let X be a smooth projective variety. Using modified psi classes on the stack of genus zero stable maps to X, a new associative quantum product is constructed on the cohomology space of X. When X is a homogeneous variety, this structure…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of warped product quasi bi-slant submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds. We have shown that every warped product quasi bi-slant submanifold in a Kaehler manifold is either a Riemannian product or a warped…
Over an associative ring we consider a class $\mathbb{X}$ of left modules which is closed under set-indexed coproducts and direct summands. We investigate when the triangulated homotopy category $\mathsf{K}(\mathbb{X})$ is compactly…
For an orbifold X and $\alpha \in H^3(X, Z)$, we introduce the twisted cohomology $H^*_c(X, \alpha)$ and prove that the Connes-Chern character establishes an isomorphism between the twisted K-groups $K_\alpha^* (X) \otimes C$ and twisted…
