We introduce a notion generalizing Calabi-Yau structures on A-infinity algebras and categories, which we call pre-Calabi-Yau structures. This notion does not need either one of the finiteness conditions (smoothness or compactness) which are…

This contribution is the first in a series of three: it reports on the construction of (a fine sheaf of) diffeomorphism invariant Colombeau algebras on open sets of Eucildean space, which completes earlier approaches. Part II and III will…

In this paper we show that for a Koszul Calabi-Yau algebra, there is a shifted bi-symplectic structure in the sense of Crawley-Boevey-Etingof-Ginzburg, on the cobar construction of its co-unitalized Koszul dual coalgebra, and hence its DG…

This is a general study of twisted Calabi-Yau algebras that are $\mathbb{N}$-graded and locally finite-dimensional, with the following major results. We prove that a locally finite graded algebra is twisted Calabi-Yau if and only if it is…

This contribution presents a comprehensive analysis of Colombeau (-type) algebras in the range between the diffeomorphism invariant algebra introduced in Part I and Colombeau's original algebra. Along the way, it provides several…

We generalize Kontsevich's construction of L-infinity derivations of polyvector fields from the affine space to an arbitrary smooth algebraic variety. More precisely, we construct a map (in the homotopy category) from Kontsevich's graph…

We study a Lie algebra of formal vector fields $W_n$ with its application to the perturbative deformed holomorphic symplectic structure in the A-model, and a Calabi-Yau manifold with boundaries in the B-model. We show that equivalent…

These lecture notes cover a brief introduction into some of the algebro-geometric techniques used in the construction of BPS algebras. The first section introduces the derived category of coherent sheaves as a useful model of branes in…

This short note is an announcement of results. We continue the study of Yangian-type algebras initiated in the paper arXiv:2208.04809. These algebras share a number of properties of the Yangians of type A but are more massive. We refine and…

A Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is most general framework to construct consistent quantum field theories. Its mathematical structure is called {\it a Batalin-Vilkovisky structure}. First we explain rather mathematical setting of a…

We introduce the notion of a braided algebra and study some examples of these. In particular, R-symmetric and R-skew-symmetric algebras of a linear space V equipped with a skew-invertible Hecke symmetry R are braided algebras. We prove the…

We investigate field theories on the worldvolume of a D3-brane transverse to partial resolutions of a $\Z_3\times\Z_3$ Calabi-Yau threefold quotient singularity. We deduce the field content and lagrangian of such theories and present a…

We show that a graded commutative algebra A with any square zero odd differential operator is a natural generalization of a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. While such an operator of order 2 defines a Gerstenhaber (Lie) algebra structure on A,…

This is an informal (and mostly conjectural) discussion of some aspects of Fukaya categories. We start by looking at exact symplectic manifolds which are obtained from a closed Calabi-Yau by removing a hyperplane section. We look at the…
