The Cartan equivalence method is applied to provide an invariant characterization of the third-order ordinary differential equation $u'''=f(x,u,u',u'')$ which admits a five-dimensional point symmetry Lie algebra. The invariant…
We study the obstruction to the exactness of the variational complex for a field theory on an affine bundle.
We study exhaustively the solution-generating transformations (dualities) that occur in the context of the low-energy effective action of superstring theory. We first consider target-space duality (``T duality'') transformations in absence…
We consider a compact twistor space P and assume that there is a surface S in P, which has degree one on twistor fibres and contains a twistor fibre F, e.g. P a LeBrun twistor space. Similar to Donaldson and Buchdahl we examine the…
We construct $AdS_3\times Y_7$ solutions of type IIB supergravity, where $Y_7$ is a smooth $S^5$ bundle over a spindle $\Sigma(n_N,n_S)$, which are dual to $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ SCFTs in $d=2$. The solutions are constructed using the $D=5$…
Anti-self-dual (ASD) solutions to the Yang-Mills equation (or instantons) over an anti-self-dual four manifold, which are invariant under an appropriate action of a three dimensional Lie group, give rise, via twistor construction, to…
In this note we determine the obstruction to triviality of the stack of exact vertex algebroids.
Motivated by some questions in the path integral approach to (topological) gauge theories, we are led to address the following question: given a smooth map from a manifold $M$ to a compact group $G$, is it possible to smoothly `diagonalize'…
We introduce a new method to study mixed characteristic deformation of line bundles. In particular, for sufficiently large smooth projective families $f : \mathscr{X} \to \mathscr{S}$ defined over the ring of $N$-integers…
Admissible point transformations of classes of $r$th order linear ordinary differential equations (in particular, the whole class of such equations and its subclasses of equations in the rational form, the Laguerre-Forsyth form, the first…
In this article, we construct a generating set of rational invariants for the action of the orthogonal group $\text{O}(n)$ on the space $\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]_{2d}$ of real homogeneous polynomials of even degree $2d$. This generalizes a…
We determine the most general group of equivalence transformations for a family of differential equations defined by an arbitrary vector field on a manifold. We also find all invariants and differential invariants for this group up to the…
The most natural first-order PDEs to be imposed on a Cayley 4-form in eight dimensions is the condition that it is closed. In this work, we investigate the natural second-order conditions. We start at the linearised level, and construct the…
We consider five-point differential-difference equations. Our aim is to find integrable modifications of the Ito-Narita-Bogoyavlensky equation related to it by non-invertible discrete transformations. We enumerate all modifications…
We examine the reductions of the order of certain third- and second-order nonlinear equations with arbitrary nonlinearity through their symmetries and some appropriate transformations. We use the folding transformation which enables one to…
The symmetry algebra of the real elliptic Liouville equation is an infinite-dimensional loop algebra with the simple Lie algebra $o(3,1)$ as its maximal finite-dimensional subalgebra. The entire algebra generates the conformal group of the…
In the holomorphic or algebraic setting we consider a vector bundle E on a smooth subvariety X in a smooth variety Y over a field of characteristic zero. Assuming E extends to the l-th neighborhood of X in Y, we study cohomological…
We consider the bifurcation problem $u'' + \lambda u = N(u)$ with two point boundary conditions where $N(u)$ is a general nonlinear term which may also depend on the eigenvalue $\lambda$. We give a variational characterization of the…
We compute the sets of degrees of maps between principal $SU(2)$-bundles over $S^5$, i.e. between any of the manifolds $SU(2)\times S^5$ and $SU(3)$. We show that the Steenrod squares provide the only obstruction to the existence of a…
We investigate when the tangent bundle of a projective manifold has a non-trivial first order (or positive-dimensional) deformation. This leads to a new conjectural characterization of the complex projective space.
