We construct a new class of topological surface defects in Chern-Simons theory with non-compact, non-Abelian gauge groups. These defects are characterized by isotropic subalgebras defined by solutions of the modified classical Yang-Baxter…

The path integral approach for a 3D Chern-Simons theory is discussed with a focus on the question of metric independence and BRST-exactness in the light of Gribov ambiguity. Copies of the vacuum satisfying the strong boundary conditions and…

Faddeev variant of embedding theory is an example of using the embedding approach for the description of gravity. In the original form of the embedding approach, the gravity is described by an embedding function of a four-dimensional…

The first part of this work consists of a study of the ODE/IM correspondence for simply-laced affine Toda field theories. It is a first step towards a full generalisation of the results of Lukyanov and Zamolodchikov on $\hat{\mathfrak a}_1$…

This paper develops fundamental mathematical theory for second-order Filippov systems. These are discontinuous ordinary differential equations with solutions defined in the sense of Filippov, and whose first Lie derivatives vary…

We consider Voronoi's reduction theory of positive definite quadratic forms which is based on Delone subdivision. We extend it to forms and Delone subdivisions having a prescribed symmetry group. Even more general, the theory is developed…

In this work, we design and analyze a Discrete de Rham (DDR) scheme for a contact mechanics problem involving fractures along which a model of Tresca friction is considered. Our approach is based on a mixed formulation involving a…

We construct a generalization of the cyclic $\lambda$-deformed models of \cite{Georgiou:2017oly} by relaxing the requirement that all the WZW models should have the same level $k$. Our theories are integrable and flow from a single UV point…

We provide descriptions of the derived categories of degree $d$ hypersurface fibrations which generalize a result of Kuznetsov for quadric fibrations and give a relative version of a well-known theorem of Orlov. Using a local generator and…

These are lecture notes of a course given at the Summer School on Topology and Field Theories held at the Centre for Mathematics of the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, from May 29 to June 2, 2012. The idea of extending quantum field…

The paper studies an Allen-Cahn-type equation defined on a time-dependent surface as a model of phase separation with order-disorder transition in a thin material layer. By a formal inner-outer expansion, it is shown that the limiting…

We recall Petit's construction of "dichromatic" invariants of 4-manifolds computed from Kirby diagrams using a nested pair of ribbon fusion categories $ B \subset C $ as initial data. Along the way we prove a lemma that fits the use of…

This article proposes a process to reconstruct a Riemann surface with boundary equipped with a conductivity tensor from its boundary and its Dirichlet-Neumann operator. When initial data comes from a two dimensional real Riemannian oriented…

We extend finite dimensional Chern-Simons theory to certain infinite dimensional principal bundles with connections, in particular to the frame bundle $FLM\to LM$ over the loop space of a Riemannian manifold $M$. Chern-Simons forms are…

In this paper we prove an infinite-dimensional version of Sard's theorem for Fr\'{e}chet manifolds. Let $ M $ and $ N $ be bounded Fr\'{e}chet manifolds such that the topologies of their model Fr\'{e}chet spaces are defined by metrics with…

We revisit the 3d ${\cal N}=5$ Chern-Simons-Matter theory with orthosymplectic gauge group and its gravity dual from the perspective of generalized symmetries. We derive the corresponding 4d symmetry topological field theory from the…

In this paper, we introduce a new method for constructing gauged $\sigma$-models from four-dimensional Chern-Simons (4d CS) gauge theory. We begin with a review of recent work by several authors on the classical generation of integrable…

It is shown that the deformed conifold solution with three-form flux, found by Klebanov and Strassler, is supersymmetric, and that it admits a simple F-theory description in terms of a direct product of the deformed conifold and a torus.…

In this work we deform the phi^4 model with distinct deformation functions, to propose a diversity of sine-Gordon-like models. We investigate the proposed models and we obtain all the topological solutions they engender. In particular, we…

We present a mean field theory of the Pomeranchuk instability in two dimensions, starting from a generic central interaction potential described in terms of a few microscopic parameters. For a significant range of parameters, the…
