We obtain variational formulas for holomorphic objects on Riemann surfaces with respect to arbitrary local coordinates on the moduli space of complex structures. These formulas are written in terms of a canonical object on the moduli space…
We develop a new approach, based on quantization methods, to study higher symmetries of invariant differential operators. We focus here on conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian over a conformally flat manifold and recover results of…
In this article we study the structure of $\Gamma$-invariant spaces of $L^2(\bf R)$. Here $\bf R$ is a second countable LCA group. The invariance is with respect to the action of $\Gamma$, a non commutative group in the form of a semidirect…
Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories (LCFT) play a key role, for instance, in the description of critical geometrical problems (percolation, self avoiding walks, etc.), or of critical points in several classes of disordered systems…
This review is dedicated to two-dimensional sigma models with flag manifold target spaces, which are generalizations of the familiar $CP^{n-1}$ and Grassmannian models. They naturally arise in the description of continuum limits of spin…
A novel classically integrable model is proposed. It is a deformation of the two-dimensional principal chiral model, embedded into a heterotic $\sigma$-model, by a particular heterotic gauge field. This is inspired by the bosonic part of…
There have been many parallel streams of research studying order isomorphisms of some specific sets $G$ of functions from a set $X$ to $\mathbb{R}\cup\{\pm\infty\}$, such as the sets of convex or Lipschitz functions. We develop in this…
Infinite-dimensional conformal symmetry in two dimensions leads to integrability of 2d conformal field theories through an infinite tower of local conserved qKdV charges in involution. We discuss the role this integrable structure plays in…
The non-isospectral symmetries of a general class of integrable hierarchies are found, generalizing the Galilean and scaling symmetries of the Korteweg--de Vries equation and its hierarchy. The symmetries arise in a very natural way from…
Following the paradigm on the sphere, we begin the study of irrational conformal field theory (ICFT) on the torus. In particular, we find that the affine-Virasoro characters of ICFT satisfy heat-like differential equations with flat…
We describe deformations of the classical principle chiral model and 1+1 Gaudin model related to ${\rm GL}_N$ Lie group. The deformations are generated by $R$-matrices satisfying the associative Yang-Baxter equation. Using the coefficients…
We present a general study of 3-point functions of conformal field theory (CFT) in momentum space, following a reconstruction method for tensor correlators, based on the solution of the conformal Ward identities (CWIs), introduced in recent…
We investigate functionals defined on manifolds through parameterizations. If they are to be meaningful, from a geometrical viewpoint, they ought to be invariant under reparameterizations. Standard, local, integral functionals with this…
We present a study on the integral forms and their Cech/de Rham cohomology. We analyze the problem from a general perspective of sheaf theory and we explore examples in superprojective manifolds. Integral forms are fundamental in the theory…
We consider generalized gradients in the general context of $G$-structures. They are natural first order differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles associated to irreducible $G$-representations. We study their geometric…
In the following we study the qualitative properties of solutions to the geodesic flow induced by a higher order two-component Camassa-Holm system. In particular, criteria to ensure the existence of temporally global solutions are…
We establish an intriguing correspondence between a special set of classical solutions of the modified sinh-Gordon equation (i.e., Hitchin's "self-duality" equations) on a punctured Riemann sphere and a set of stationary states in the…
In general quantum field theories (QFTs), ordinary (0-form) global symmetries and 1-form symmetries can combine into 2-group global symmetries. We describe this phenomenon in detail using the language of symmetry defects. We exhibit a…
We show that properties of hypergeometric type equations become transparent if they are derived from appropriate 2nd order partial differential equations with constant coefficients. In particular, we deduce the symmetries of the…
We investigate the Schur-complement curvature of D_N-equivariant folded exponential families on the simplex. Our main structural results are: (i) the curvature kappa_Schur(theta) is convex in the log-parameter theta = ln(q); (ii) it admits…
