As is well known, black hole entropy is proportional to the area of the horizon suggesting a holographic principle wherein all degrees of freedom contributing to the entropy reside on the surface. In this note, we point out that large scale…

We present arguments for the existence of charged, rotating black holes in $d=2N+1$ dimensions, with $d\geq 5$ with a positive cosmological constant. These solutions posses both, a regular horizon and a cosmological horizon of spherical…

We construct a new cohomology functor from the a certain category of {\it quantum operator algebras} to the category of {\it Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras}. This {\it Moonshine cohomology} has, as a group of natural automorphisms, the…

The supersymmetric flow equations describing the flow of moduli from infinity to the black hole horizon, and vice versa, are derived in the five-dimensional theories where the moduli space of the very special geometry has disjoint branches.…

I discuss some properties of spatially dependent chiral condensates, focusing on one-dimensional modulations. After briefly introducing a generic formalism for studying inhomogeneous solutions in dense quark matter, I consider a plane-wave…

5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with Chern-Simons coefficient $\lambda=1$ has supersymmetric black holes with vanishing horizon angular velocity, but finite angular momentum. Here supersymmetry is associated with a…

Generalised moonshine is reviewed from the point of view of holomorphic orbifolds, putting special emphasis on the role of the third cohomology group H^3(G, U(1)) in characterising consistent constructions. These ideas are then applied to…

Eguchi, Ooguri, and Tachikawa recently conjectured a new moonshine phenomenon. They conjecture that the coefficients of a certain mock modular form H(tau), which arises from the K3 surface elliptic genus, are sums of dimensions of…

We construct a natural conformally invariant one-form of weight $-2k$ on any $2k$-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold which is closely related to the Pfaffian of the Weyl tensor. On oriented manifolds, we also construct natural…

We describe a midi-superspace quantization scheme for generic single horizon black holes in which only the spatial diffeomorphisms are fixed. The remaining Hamiltonian constraint yields an infinite set of decoupled eigenvalue equations: one…

A compactification of the heterotic string is considered which describes a particle propagating in the symmetric space M = SO(9,1;Z)\SO(9,1;R)/SO(9;R) in interaction with excited states whose dynamics is (1+1)-dimensional. The model appears…

We study higher-dimensional soliton and hairy black hole solutions of the Einstein equations non-minimally coupled to a scalar field. The scalar field has no self-interaction potential but a cosmological constant is included. Non-trivial…

We prove the existence of a module for the largest Mathieu group, whose trace functions are weight two quasimodular forms. Restricting to the subgroup fixing a point, we see that the integrality of these functions is equivalent to certain…

The moduli dependence of $(2,2)$ superstring compactifications based on Calabi--Yau hypersurfaces in weighted projective space has so far only been investigated for Fermat-type polynomial constraints. These correspond to Landau-Ginzburg…

For a simplicial complex X on {1,2, ..., n} we define enriched homology and cohomology modules. They are graded modules over k[x_1, ..., x_n] whose ranks are equal to the dimensions of the reduced homology and cohomology groups. We…

Distinctive characteristics of Iwanaga--Gorenstein rings are typically understood through their intrinsic symmetry. We show that several of those that pertain to the Gorenstein global dimensions carry over to the one-sided situation, even…

We review particle-like configurations of complex scalar field, localized by gravity, so-called boson stars. In the simplest case, these solutions posses spherical symmetry, they may arise in the massive Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory with…

We discover a non-trivial relation between the mock modular generating functions of the level $1$ and level $N$ Hurwitz class numbers. This relation yields a holomorphic modular form of weight $\frac{3}{2}$ and level $4N$, where $N > 1$ is…

Let $A$ be an Iwanaga-Gorenstein ring. Enomoto conjectured that a self-orthogonal $A$-module has finite projective dimension. We prove this conjecture for $A$ having the property that every indecomposable non-projective maximal…

We report on a computation of holomorphic cuspidal modular forms of weight one and small level (currently level at most $1500$) and classification of them according to the projective image of their attached Artin representations. The data…
