We propose an explanation via string theory of the correspondence between the Coulomb branch of certain three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and certain moduli spaces of magnetic monopoles. The same construction also gives an…
We introduce the self-projecting Grassmannian, an irreducible subvariety of the Grassmannian parametrizing linear subspaces that satisfy a generalized self-duality condition. We study its relation to classical moduli spaces, such as the…
Building on work of Derksen-Fei and Plamondon, we formulate a conjectural correspondence between additive and monoidal categorifications of cluster algebras, which reveals a new connection between the additive reachability conjecture and…
A minimal area problem imposing different length conditions on open and closed curves is shown to define a one parameter family of covariant open-closed quantum string field theories. These interpolate from a recently proposed factorizable…
In this paper we generalize a strategy recently proposed by the author concerning intertwining operators. In particular we discuss the possibility of extending our previous results in such a way to construct (almost) isospectral…
Modular operads relevant to string theory can be equipped with an additional structure, coming from the connected sum of surfaces. Motivated by this example, we introduce a notion of connected sum for general modular operads. We show that a…
We construct the space of infinitesimal variations for the Strominger system and an obstruction space to integrability, using elliptic operator theory. We initiate the study of the geometry of the moduli space, describing the infinitesimal…
This is a very brief survey of some results in the geometry of string duality delivered at a lecture given at ICM 1998, Berlin. String Duality is the statement that one kind of string theory compactified on one space is equivalent in some…
In this paper, we develop the mathematical formulation of metric string structures. These play a crucial role in the formulation of certain six-dimensional superconformal field theories and we believe that they also underlie potential…
We elaborate on the new understanding of the cosmological constant and the gauge hierarchy problems in the context of string theory in its metastring formulation, based on the concepts of modular spacetime and Born geometry. The interplay…
We construct a new version of infinite Grassmannian and infinite dimensional analog of the Weil representation of the affine symplectic group in the space of distributions. We give definition of a mathematical solution of the quantum field…
We show that the transformations of Grassmannians (of complex Hilbert spaces) induced by linear or conjugate-linear isometries can be characterized as transformations preserving some of principal angles (corresponding to the orthogonality,…
In 70's there was discovered a construction how to attach to some algebraic-geometric data an infinite-dimensional subspace in the space k((z)) of the Laurent power series. Now this construction is called the Krichever map. In e-print…
We consider the Grassman manifold $G(E)$ as the subset of all orthogonal projections of a given Euclidean space $E$ and obtain some explicit formulas concerning the differential geometry of $G(E)$ as a submanifold of $L(E,E)$ endowed with…
The present article studies holomorphic isometric embeddings of arbitrary complex Grassmannians into quadrics, generalising results in [13]. The moduli spaces of these embeddings up to gauge and image equivalence are discussed using a…
Active feedback between geometry and physics is woven throughout the study of Nature at its fundamental level, and is of key importance in string theory. Methods of complex algebraic geometry in particular have brought about an unrivaled…
We construct an abelian representative for the crossed module associated to the string Lie algebra. We show how to apply this construction in order to define quasi-invariant tensors which serve to categorify the infinitesimal braiding on…
In this paper, we introduce the Grassmann tensor by tensor product of vectors and some basic terminology in tensor theory. Some basic properties of the Grassmann tensors are investigated and the tensor language is used to rewrite some…
We provide a concise and accessible introduction to (geometric) string structures, highlighting their connection to loop spaces and outlining relationships with neighboring topics.
A first-quantized string (and membrane) theory is developed here by using a general wave function of the string (and membrane), analogously to the first-quantized quantum theory of a point particle. From the general wave function of the…
