Higher-dimensional braneworld models which contain both bulk and brane curvature terms in the action admit cosmological singularities of rather unusual form and nature. These `quiescent' singularities, which can occur both during the…
Classical W-algebras in higher dimensions have been recently constructed. In this letter we show that there is a finitely generated subalgebra which is isomorphic to the algebra of local diffeomorphisms in D dimensions. Moreover, there is a…
We study the structure of generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups from the point of view of their (usually non-unique) splittings as fundamental groups of graphs of infinite cyclic groups. We find and characterize certain decompositions of…
The notion of geometrical duality is discussed in the context of both Brans-Dicke theory and general relativity. It is shown that, in some particular solutions, the spacetime singularities that arise in usual Riemannian general relativity…
This article shall serve as a quick reference for somebody who needs precise information on concepts and results related to resolution of singularities. As such, it is more a technical manual than a bedtime story. Topics which are covered:…
We extend the notion of connection in order to be able to study singular geometric structures, namely, we consider a notion of connection on a Lie algebroid which is a natural extension of the usual concept of connection. Using connections,…
A holomorphic foliation is defined as an integrable coherent subsheaf of the tangent sheaf. The structure of the leaves around a singularity is read off from the structure of the stalks. This was done by Baum when the dimension of the…
We construct a complex linear Weil representation $\rho$ of the generalized special linear group $G={\rm SL}_*^{1}(2,A_n)$ ($A_n=K[x]/\langle x^n\rangle$, $K$ the quadratic extension of the finite field $k$ of $q$ elements, $q$ odd), where…
We study singular hypersurfaces in tensor multi-scalar theories of gravity. We derive in a distributional and then in an intrinsic way, the general equations of junction valid for all types of hypersurfaces, in particular for lightlike…
In this article we consider nonholonomic deformations of disk solutions in general relativity to generic off-diagonal metrics defining knew classes of exact solutions in 4D and 5D gravity. These solutions possess Lie algebroid symmetries…
Given a double vector bundle $D\to M$, we define a bigraded `Weil algebra' $\mathcal{W}(D)$, which `realizes' the algebra of smooth functions on the supermanifold $D[1,1]$. We describe in detail the relations between the Weil algebras of…
We present herewith certain thoughts on the important subject of nowadays physics, pertaining to the so-called ``singularities'', that emanated from looking at the theme in terms of ADG (: abstract differential geometry). Thus, according to…
We review recent work on the existence and nature of cosmological singularities that can be formed during the evolution of generic as well as specific cosmological spacetimes in general relativity. We first discuss necessary and sufficient…
One of the basic questions in number theory is to determine semi-simple l-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of a number field. In this paper, we discuss the question for two dimensional representations over a totally real…
We review the W_N algebra and its quantum deformation, based on free field realizations. The (quantum deformed) W_N algebra is defined through the (quantum deformed) Miura transformation, and its singular vectors realize the Jack…
In this paper, in order to develop a more general $L^2$-theory for the $\overline{\partial}$-operator on complex spaces, we provide $L^2$-Dolbeault fine resolutions and isomorphisms, and $L^2$-estimates, for holomorphic line bundles on…
We derive a quantum deformation of the $W_N$ algebra and its quantum Miura transformation, whose singular vectors realize the Macdonald polynomials.
Assuming the four-dimensional space-time to be a general warped product of two surfaces we reduce the four-dimensional Einstein equations to a two-dimensional problem which can be solved. All global vacuum solutions are explicitly…
We study the effects of supersymmetry on singularity development scenario in holography presented in \cite{Bosch:2017ccw} (BBL). We argue that the singularity persists in a supersymmetric extension of the BBL model. The challenge remains to…
We study the vanishing neighbourhood of non-isolated singularities of functions on singular spaces by associating a general linear function. We use the carrousel monodromy in order to show how to get a better control over the attaching of…
