We introduce a new topology, weaker than the gap topology, on the space of selfadjoint operators affiliated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra. We define the real-valued spectral flow for a continuous path of selfadjoint Breuer-Fredholm…

This paper describes a topological method to compute the spectral flow of a family of twisted Dirac operators, it includes two detailed examples. Briefly, a formula of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer expresses the spectral flow in terms of…

We investigate the emergence of finite-amplitude non-zonal flows on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ arising from stationary solutions to the 2D Euler equations. By restricting the Laplace-Beltrami eigenspace to the invariant subspace of the…

Various structural properties of the space of symmetry breaking boundary conditions that preserve an orbifold subalgebra are established. To each such boundary condition we associate its automorphism type. It is shown that correlation…

We consider R and NS spectral flow sectors of type IIB superstring theory on AdS(3)xS(3)xT(4) in the context of the AdS(3)/CFT(2) correspondence. We present a derivation of the vertex operators creating spectral flow images of chiral…

We show how the spectral flow between the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of N=2 superconformal field theories can be described in three dimensions in terms of the propagation of charged particles coupled to a a Chern-Simons gauge theory.…

The spectral flow is a well-known quantity in spectral theory that measures the variation of spectra about $0$ along paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. The aim of this work is twofold. Firstly, we consider homotopy invariance…

We consider AF-flows, i.e., one-parameter automorphism groups of a unital simple C*-algebra which leave invariant the dense union of an increasing sequence of finite-dimensional *-subalgebras, and derive two properties for these; an absence…

We develop a structural theory of chirality for inverse semigroups and show how it propagates canonically to \'{e}tale groupoids and twisted groupoid $C^*$-algebras. Starting from inverse semigroup data equipped with admissible twist…

Topological quantum field theories containing matter fields are constructed by twisting $N=2$ supersymmetric quantum field theories. It is shown that $N=2$ chiral (antichiral) multiplets lead to topological sigma models while $N=2$ twisted…

The Anomaly flow is shown to converge on toric fibrations with the Fu-Yau ansatz, for both positive and negative values of the slope parameter $\alpha'$. This implies both results of Fu and Yau on the existence of solutions for…

We study $2$-dimensional unit vector flows on graphs, that is, nowhere-zero flows that assign to each oriented edge a unit vector in $\mathbb R^{3}$. We give a new geometric characterization of $\mathbb S^{2}$-flows on cubic graphs. We also…

Real-time anomalous fermion number violation is investigated for massless chiral fermions in spherically symmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills gauge field backgrounds which can be weakly dissipative or even nondissipative. Restricting consideration to…

We investigate superconformal surface defects in four-dimensional N=2 superconformal theories. Each such defect gives rise to a module of the associated chiral algebra and the surface defect Schur index is the character of this module.…

We study various orientifold projections of 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ toric gauge theories, associated with CY singularities known as $L^{a,b,a}/\mathbb{Z}_2$, with $a+b$ even. We obtain superconformal chiral theories that have the same central…

The conformal algebra in 2D (Diff($S^{1}$)$\oplus$Diff($S^{1}$)) is shown to be preserved under a nonlinear map that mixes both chiral (holomorphic) generators $T$ and $\bar{T}$. It depends on a single real parameter and it can be regarded…

We study the flow from the theory of D2-branes in a G2 holonomy background to M2-branes in a Spin(7) holonomy background. We consider in detail the UV and IR regimes, and the effect of topology change of the background on the field theory.…

We compare N=2 string and N=4 topological string within the framework of the sigma model approach. Being classically equivalent on a flat background, the theories are shown to lead to different geometries when put in a curved space. In…

We perform a topological-holomorphic twist of $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory on a four-manifold of the form $M_4=\Sigma_1 \times \Sigma_2$ with Riemann surfaces $\Sigma_{1,2}$, and unravel the mathematical implications of its…

We uncover the very rich graph topology of generic bounded non-Hermitian spectra, distinct from the topology of conventional band invariants and complex spectral winding. The graph configuration of complex spectra are characterized by the…
