We show that the n-fold integrals $\chi^{(n)}$ of the magnetic susceptibility of the Ising model, as well as various other n-fold integrals of the "Ising class", or n-fold integrals from enumerative combinatorics, like lattice Green…

Let $V$ be a rational, selfdual, $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra of CFT type, and $G$ a finite automorphism group of $V.$ It is proved that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on twisted conformal blocks associated…

We introduce new concepts in order to develop a general formalism for twisted differential operators in several variables. We investigate the notion of twisted coordinates on Huber rings that allows us to build various rings of twisted…

Closed bosonic string theory on toroidal orbifolds is studied in a Lagrangian path integral formulation. It is shown that a level one twisted WZW action whose field value is restricted to Cartan subgroups of simply-laced Lie groups on a…

Using general principles of the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, we obtain a bosonic, twisted construction of a certain central extension of a Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, for an…

Following Beurling's theorem the natural compressions of the multiplication operator in the classical $L^2$ space are compressions to model spaces and to their orthogonal complements. Two possibly different model spaces are considered hence…

In this note we discuss local gauge-invariant operators in noncommutative gauge theories. Inspired by the connection of these theories with the Matrix model, we give a simple construction of a complete set of gauge-invariant operators. We…

Modular invariance is a necessary condition for the consistency of any closed string theory. In particular, it imposes stringent constraints on the spectrum of orbifold theories, and in principle determines their spectrum uniquely up to…

We study the injective envelope I(X) of an operator space X, showing amongst other things that it is a self-dual C$^*-$module. We describe the diagonal corners of the injective envelope of the canonical operator system associated with X. We…

Let $V$ be a vertex operator subalgebra of $U$. Assume that $U$, $V$, and its commutant $V^c$ in $U$ are CFT-type, self-dual, and regular VOAs. Assume also that the double commutant $V^{cc}$ equals $V$. We prove that any intertwining…

By studying the properties of $q$-series $\widehat Z$-invariants, we develop a dictionary between 3-manifolds and vertex algebras. In particular, we generalize previously known entries in this dictionary to Lie groups of higher rank, to…

We study linear operators on a finite-dimensional space whose Kippenhahn curves consist of concentric circles centered at the origin. We say that such operators have Circularity property. One class of examples is rotationally invariant…

We systematically study various aspects of operator-valued multishifts. Beginning with basic properties, we show that the class of multishifts on the directed Cartesian product of rooted directed trees is contained in that of…

We exhibit a connection between two constructions of twisted modules for a general vertex operator algebra with respect to inner automorphisms. We also study pseudo-derivations, pseudo-endomorphisms, and twist deformations of ordinary…

Zhang twists are a common tool for deforming graded algebras over a field in a way that preserves important ring-theoretic properties. We generalize Zhang twists to the setting of closed monoidal categories equipped with their self-enriched…

This thesis investigates correspondences between open and closed strings. This is done on the level of coupled open-closed moduli spaces and from a string field theoretic point of view. The construction of boundary string field theory on…

We study freely acting orbifolds of type IIB string theory on $T^5$ that spontaneously break supersymmetry from $\mathcal{N}=8$ to $\mathcal{N}=6,4,2$ or 0 in five dimensions. We focus on orbifolds that are a $\mathbb{Z}_p$ quotient by a…

We study anomalous dimensions of unprotected low twist operators in the four-dimensional $SU(N)$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We construct a class of interpolating functions to approximate the dimensions of the leading…

${\bf Z}_2\times {\bf Z}_2$ Coxeter orbifolds are constructed with the property that some twisted sectors have fixed planes for which the six-torus can not be decomposed into a direct sum ${\bf T}^2\bigoplus{\bf T}^4 $ with the fixed plane…

One-point theta functions for modules of vertex operator algebras (VOAs) are defined and studied. These functions are a generalization of the character theta functions studied by Miyamoto and are deviations of the classical one-point…
