Some time ago, the chiral algebra theory of Beilinson-Drinfeld was expected to play a central role in the convergence of divergence in mathematical physics of superstring theory for quantization of gauge theory and gravity. Naively, this…
We write down an explicit operator on the chiral de Rham complex of a Calabi-Yau variety $X$ which intertwines the usual $\mathcal{N}=2$ module structure with its twist by the spectral flow automorphism of the $\mathcal{N}=2$, producing the…
Calabi-Yau algebras are particularly symmetric differential graded algebras. There is a construction called `Calabi-Yau completion' which produces a canonical Calabi-Yau algebra from any homologically smooth dg algebra. Homologically smooth…
We develop the geometric and homological framework for non-commutative $n$-ary $\Gamma$-semirings by constructing a sheaf and derived theory over their non-commutative $\Gamma$-spectrum. Starting with a non-commutative $n$-ary…
We apply a definition of generalised super Calabi-Yau variety (SCY) to supermanifolds of complex dimension one. One of our results is that there are two SCY's having reduced manifold equal to $\mathbb{P}^1$, namely the projective super…
The goal of this paper is to offer a new construction of the de Rham-Witt complex of smooth varieties over perfect fields of characteristic $p>0$. We introduce a category of cochain complexes equipped with an endomorphism $F$ of underlying…
This article is the first report of an ongoing project aimed at finding a geometric interpretation of the Witten genus and other tmf classes. Section 2 reviews the sheaves of chiral differential operators (CDOs) over a complex manifold,…
There are two de Rham complexes in diffeology. The original one is due to Souriau and the other one is the singular de Rham complex defined by a simplicial differential graded algebra. We compare the first de Rham cohomology groups of the…
Consider a complex analytic manifold $X$ and a coherent Lie subalgebra $\shi$ of the Lie algebra of complex vector fields on $X$. By using a natural $\shd_X$-module $\shm_\shi$ naturally associated to $\shi$ and the ring (in the derived…
Realizing a part of the Derived Deformation Theory program, we construct a "derived" analog of the Grothendieck's Quot scheme parametrizing subsheaves in a given coherent sheaf F on a smooth projective variety X. This analog is a…
This is a survey of the author's paper arXiv:1001.0023 on "Algebraic Geometry over C-infinity rings". If X is a smooth manifold then the R-algebra C^\infty(X) of smooth functions c : X --> R is a "C-infinity ring". That is, for each smooth…
For a big class of smooth dagger spaces --- dagger spaces are 'rigid spaces with overconvergent structure sheaf' --- we prove finite dimensionality of de Rham cohomology. This is enough to obtain finiteness of Berthelot's rigid cohomology…
Let X be a separated finite type scheme over a noetherian base ring K. There is a complex C(X) of topological O_X-modules on X, called the complete Hochschild chain complex of X. To any O_X-module M - not necessarily quasi-coherent - we…
Let $(M,\mathcal{F})$ be a foliated manifold. We prove that there is a canonical isomorphism between the complex of base-like forms $\Omega^*_b(M,\mathcal{F})$ of the foliation and the "De Rham complex" of the space of leaves…
In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of the half-twisted variant of Witten's topological A-model coupled to a non-dynamical gauge field with Kahler target space X being a G-manifold. Our main objective is to furnish a purely…
Chiral orbifold models are defined as gauge field theories with a finite gauge group $\Gamma$. We start with a conformal current algebra A associated with a connected compact Lie group G and a negative definite integral invariant bilinear…
Let $X$ be a smooth complex algebraic variety and let $\operatorname{Coh} (X)$ denote its Abelian category of coherent sheaves. By the work of W. Lowen and M. Van den Bergh, it is known that the deformation theory of $\operatorname{Coh}…
For globally subanalytic manifolds we define de Rham complexes of globally subanalytic differential forms and of constructible differential forms. Whereas the de Rham theorem does not hold for the former in the non-compact case, it does…
We introduce smooth L^\infty differential forms on a singular (semialgebraic) set X in R^n. Roughly speaking, a smooth L^\infty differential form is a certain class of equivalence of 'stratified forms', that is, a collection of smooth forms…
We study the B-model chiral ring of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in Batyrev's mirror construction. The main result is an explicit description of a subring of the chiral ring of semiample regular (transversal to torus orbits) Calabi-Yau…
