Equivariance under the action of Uq(so(5)) is used to compute the left regular and (chiral) spinorial representations of the algebra of the orthogonal quantum 4-sphere S^4_q. These representations are the constituents of a spectral triple…

We describe the cohomology of the sheaf of twisted differential operators on the quantized flag manifold at a root of unity whose order is a prime power. It follows from this and our previous results that for the De Concini-Kac type…

Lorentz invariant quantum field theories (QFTs) with fermions in four spacetime dimensions (4D) have a $\mathbb{Z}_4$ symmetry provided there exists a basis of operators in the QFT where all operators have even operator dimension, $d$,…

Asymptotic heat kernel expansion for nonminimal differential operators on curved manifolds in the presence of gauge fields is considered. The complete expressions for the fourth coefficient E_4 in the heat kernel expansion for such…

This work takes place over a conformally flat spin manifold (M,g). We prove existence and uniqueness of the conformally equivariant quantization valued in spinor differential operators, and provide an explicit formula for it when restricted…

We present a new construction for the Hodge operator for differential manifolds based on a Fourier (Berezin)-integral representation. We find a simple formula for the Hodge dual of the wedge product of differential forms, using the…

We study finite $N$ aspects of the $O(m)\times O(N-m)$ vector model with quartic interactions in general $2\leq d \leq 6$ spacetime dimensions. This model has recently been shown to display the phenomenon of persistent symmetry breaking at…

We present a construction of curved analogues of the nonstandard operators on Grassmannians parallel to the construction of the Paneitz operator via the curved Casimir operator, but technically more demanding. In particular, the…

We consider the computation of an approximately stationary point for a Lipschitz and semialgebraic function $f$ with a local oracle. If $f$ is smooth, simple deterministic methods have dimension-free finite oracle complexities. For the…

Group equivariant non-expansive operators have been recently proposed as basic components in topological data analysis and deep learning. In this paper we study some geometric properties of the spaces of group equivariant operators and show…

In this paper we continue the study of the superconformal index of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories of class $\mathcal{S}$ in the presence of surface defects. Our main result is the construction of an algebra of difference…

We apply one of the formalisms of noncommutative geometry to $R^N_q$, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group $SO_q(N)$. Over $R^N_q$ there are two $SO_q(N)$-covariant differential calculi. For each we find a frame, a metric and…

Implications of N=4 superconformal symmetry on Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) operators with two charge defects are studied both at finite charge J and in the BMN limit. We find that all of these belong to a single long supermultiplet…

This is a survey on Reidemeister torsion for hyperbolic three-manifolds of finite volume. Torsions are viewed as topological invariants and also as functions on the variety of representations in $\operatorname{ SL}_2(\mathbb C)$. In both…

We introduce a simplified (coarse) version of pseudo-differential calculus for operators of order zero on complete Riemannian manifolds. This calculus works for the usual Hormander (1,0) class of operators, as well as for…

In this paper we introduce conformally covariant boundary operators for Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds satisfying a mild spectral assumption. Using these boundary operators we set up higher order Dirichlet problems whose solutions are such…

We study conformal $Spin$-subgeometry of submanifolds in a semi-Riemannian $Spin$-manifold, focusing on conformal $Spin$-manifolds $(M,[h])$ and their Poincar\'e-Einstein metrics $(X,g_+)$. Our approach is based on the spectral theory of…

Invited talk at the International Symposium on Generalized Symmetries in Physics at the Arnold-Sommerfeld-Institute, Clausthal, Germany, July 26 -- July 29, 1993. This talk reviews results on the structure of algebras consisting of…

This note describes the construction of c U p-invariant differential operators on statistical manifolds, i.e. of operators canonically associated to a geometry which synthetizes the properties of conformal and projective geometries.

There are very few general theorems on the kernel of the well-known Lichnerowicz Laplacian. In the present article we consider the geometry of the kernel of this operator restricted to covariant (not necessarily symmetric or skew-symmetric)…
