This is the first in a series of papers investigating the relationship between the twisted equivariant K-theory of a compact Lie group G and the "Verlinde ring" of its loop group. In this paper we set up the foundations of twisted…

We combine our results on symmetric products and second quantization with our description of discrete torsion in order to explain the ring structure of the cohomology of the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface. This is achieved in…

Due to the work of many authors in the last decades, given an algebraic orbifold (smooth proper Deligne-Mumford stack with trivial generic stabilizer), one can construct its orbifold Chow ring and orbifold Grothendieck ring, and relate them…

For G a finite group and X a G-space on which a normal subgroup A acts trivially, we show that the G-equivariant K-theory of X decomposes as a direct sum of twisted equivariant K-theories of X parametrized by the orbits of the conjugation…

A Laurent polynomial ring $A[t,1/t]$ with coefficients in a unital ring $A$ determines a category of quasi-coherent sheaves on the projective line over $A$; its $K$-theory is known to split into a direct sum of two copies of the $K$-theory…

We introduce a common generalization of the L-R-smash product and twisted tensor product of algebras, under the name L-R-twisted tensor product of algebras. We investigate some properties of this new construction, for instance we prove a…

We compute the integral cohomology of certain semi-direct products arising from a linear G-action on the n-torus, where G is a finite group. The main application is the complete calculation of torsion gerbes for certain six dimensional…

We prove a conjecture of Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen and Gitler: if K is a shifted simplicial complex on n vertices, X_1,..., X_n are spaces and CX_i is the cone on X_i, then the polyhedral product determined by K and the pairs (CX_i,X_i) is…

We find the orbifold analog of the topological relation recently found by Freed and Witten which restricts the allowed D-brane configurations of Type II vacua with a topologically non-trivial flat $B$-field. The result relies in Douglas…

We introduce a periodic form of the iterated algebraic K-theory of ku, the (connective) complex K-theory spectrum, as well as a natural twisting of this cohomology theory by higher gerbes. Furthermore, we prove a form of topological…

For a given twisted cartesian products of simplicial sets, we construct the corresponding twisted tensor product in the sense of Brown, with an explicit twisting function whose formula is simple without using inductions. This is done by…

We provide the first explicit example of Type IIB string theory compactification on a globally defined Calabi-Yau threefold with torsion which results in a four-dimensional effective theory with a non-Abelian discrete gauge symmetry. Our…

We study alternating strand diagrams on the disk with an orbifold point. These are quotients by rotation of Postnikov diagrams on the disk, and we call them orbifold diagrams. We associate a quiver with potential to each orbifold diagram,…

In the paper the notion of truncating twisting function from a cubical set to a permutahedral set and the corresponding notion of twisted Cartesian product of these sets are introduced. The latter becomes a permutocubical set that models in…

In this paper, we study homological properties of twisted tensor products of connected graded algebras. We focus on the Ext-algebras of twisted tensor products with a certain form of twisting maps firstly. We show those Ext-algebras are…

We define a non-commutative product for arbitrary gauge and B-field backgrounds in terms of correlation functions of open strings. While off-shell correlations are, of course, not conformally invariant, it turns out that, at least to first…

The class of the Riemannian almost product manifolds with nonintegrable structure is considered. Some identities for curvature tensor as certain invariant tensors and quantities are obtained.

In a previous paper we proved a result of the type "invariance under twisting" for Brzezinski's crossed products. In this paper we prove a converse of this result, obtaining thus a characterization of what we call equivalent crossed…

Let $V$ be a simple, rational, $C_{2}$-cofinite vertex operator algebra of CFT type, and let $k$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we determine the fusion products of twisted modules for $V^{\otimes k}$ and $G = \left\langle g…

We prove Weibel's conjecture for twisted $K$-theory when twisting by a smooth proper connective dg-algebra. Our main contribution is showing we can kill a negative twisted $K$-theory class using a projective birational morphism (in the same…
