Quantum geometry of twisted Wess--Zumino--Witten branes is formulated in the framework of twisted Reflection Equation Algebras. It is demonstrated how the representation theory of these algebras leads to the correct classification and…
Using brane quantization, we study the representation theory of the spherical double affine Hecke algebra of type $A_1$ in terms of the topological A-model on the moduli space of flat SL(2,C)-connections on a once-punctured torus. In…
We continue our study of the representations of the Reflection Equation Algebra (=REA) on Hilbert spaces, focusing again on the REA constructed from the $R$-matrix associated to the standard $q$-deformation of $GL(N,\mathbb{C})$ for…
We explain how multiplicative bundle gerbes over a compact, connected and simple Lie group $G$ lead to a certain fusion category of equivariant bundle gerbe modules given by pre-quantizable Hamiltonian $LG$-manifolds arising from…
We consider the reflection equation algebra for a finite dimensional R-matrix for the $(h,w)$-deformed Heisenberg algebra ${\cal U}_{h,w}(h(4))$. A representation of the reflection matrix $K$ is constructed using the matrix generators…
We study the worldsheet reflection matrix of a string attached to a D-brane in $AdS_5 \times S^5$. The D-brane corresponds to a maximal giant graviton and it wraps an $S^3$ inside $S^5$. In the gauge theory, the open string is described by…
The analysis of D-branes in coset models G/H provides a natural extension of recent studies on branes in WZW-theory and it has various interesting applications to physically relevant models. In this work we develop a reduction procedure…
We study recombinations of D-brane systems intersecting at more than one angle using super Yang-Mills theory. We find the condensation of an off-diagonal tachyon mode relates to the recombination, as was clarified for branes at one angle in…
We discuss the thermal (or gravitational) responses in topological superconductors and in topological phases in general. Such thermal responses (as well as electromagnetic responses for conserved charge) provide a definition of topological…
The reflection equations (RE) are a consistent extension of the Yang-Baxter equations (YBE) with an addition of one element, the so-called reflection matrix or $K$-matrix. For example, they describe the conditions for factorizable…
We discuss how properties of Hecke symmetry (i.e., Hecke type R-matrix) influence the algebraic structure of the corresponding Reflection Equation (RE) algebra. Analogues of the Newton relations and Cayley-Hamilton theorem for the matrix of…
Motivated by recent developments in string theory, we study the structure of boundary conditions in arbitrary conformal field theories. A boundary condition is specified by two types of data: first, a consistent collection of reflection…
In the Reflection Equation (RE) algebra associated with an involutive or Hecke symmetry $R$ the center is generated by elements ${\rm Tr}_R L^k$ (called the quantum power sums), where $L$ is the generating matrix of this algebra and ${\rm…
We investigate the algebra generated by the topological Wilson loop operators in WZW models. Wilson loops describe the nontrivial fixed points of the boundary renormalization group flows triggered by Kondo perturbations. Their enveloping…
We establish a q-version of the Schur-Weyl duality, in which the role of the symmetric group is played by the Hecke algebra and the role of the enveloping algebra U(gl(N)) is played by the Reflection Equation algebra, associated with any…
A study of the relation between topology change, energy and Lie algebra representations for fuzzy geometry in connection to $M$-theory is presented. We encounter two different types of topology change, related to the different features of…
We present a non-compact (4 + 1) dimensional model with a local strong four-fermion interaction supplementing it with gravity. In the strong coupling regime it reveals the spontaneous translational symmetry breaking which eventually leads…
We propose a cosmological model of D3-brane universe on compact and stable supergravity background of wrapped D7-branes in type IIB string theory previously argued to be dual to pure N=1 SU(N) gauge theory in four dimensions. A model…
The influence of closed string moduli on the D-brane moduli space is studied from a worldsheet point of view. Whenever a D-brane cannot be adjusted to an infinitesimal change of the closed string background, the corresponding exactly…
In this paper we discuss some topics on the geometry of type II superstring backgrounds with D-branes, in particular on the geometrical meaning of the D-brane charge, the Ramond-Ramond fields and the Wess-Zumino action. We see that,…
