Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra, $k$ a positive integer and $\sigma$ a permutation automorphism of the vertex operator algebra $V^{\otimes k}$. In this paper, we determine the fusion product of any $V^{\otimes k}$-module with any…
The concept of a crossed tensor product of algebras is studied from a few points of views. Some related constructions are considered. Crossed enveloping algebras and their representations are discussed. Applications to the noncommutative…
For a tensor product of algebras twisted by a bicharacter, we completely describe its Hochschild cohomology, as a Gerstenhaber algebra, in terms of the Hochschild cohomology of its component parts. This description generalizes a result of…
We introduce a parametrized version of scissors congruence $K$-theory of manifolds with tangential structure, which includes a topologized version of the scissors congruence $K$-theory of oriented manifolds as a special case. We examine the…
We study the general twisted intertwining operators (intertwining operators among twisted modules) for a vertex operator algebra $V$. We give the skew-symmetry and contragredient isomorphisms between spaces of twisted intertwining operators…
Orbifolds in field theory are potentially singular objects for at their fixed points the curvature becomes infinite, therefore one may wonder whether field theory calculations near orbifold singularities can be trusted. String theory is…
To a continuous action of a vector group on a $C^*$-algebra, twisted by the imaginary exponential of a symplectic form, one associates a Rieffel deformed algebra as well as a twisted crossed product. We show that the second one is…
We unify and generalize several approaches to constructing braid group representations from finite groups, using iterated twisted tensor products. Our results hint at a relationship between the braidings on the $G$-gaugings of a pointed…
We explore the theory of connected Gromov-Witten invariants of the symmetric product stack [Sym^n(A_r)]. We derive closed-form expressions for all equivariant invariants with two insertions and reveal a natural correspondence between the…
A kind of unstable homotopy theory on the category of associative rings (without unit) is developed. There are the notions of fibrations, homotopy (in the sense of Karoubi), path spaces, Puppe sequences, etc. One introduces the notion of a…
The geometric product, defined by Graf on the space of differential forms, endows the sections of the exterior bundle by a structure that is necessary to construct a Clifford algebra. The Graf product is introduced and revisited with a…
We put two C*-algebras together in a noncommutative tensor product using quantum group coactions on them and a bicharacter relating the two quantum groups that act. We describe this twisted tensor product in two equivalent ways. The first…
We present the star-product algebra of the kappa-deformation of Minkowski space and the formulation of Poincare covariant differential calculus. We use these tools to construct a twisted K-cycle over the algebra and a twisted cyclic…
In this note we observe that, contrary to the usual lore, string orbifolds do not describe strings on quotient spaces, but rather seem to describe strings on objects called quotient stacks, a result that follows from simply unraveling…
We prove that there is a knot $K$ transverse to $\xi_{std}$, the tight contact structure of $S^3$, such that every contact 3-manifold $(M, \xi)$ can be obtained as a contact covering branched along $K$. By contact covering we mean a map…
We introduce the concept of Bergman bundle attached to a hermitian manifold X, assuming the manifold X to be compact - although the results are local for a large part. The Bergman bundle is some sort of infinite dimensional very ample…
This short note is devoted to the study of $G$-Higgs bundles twisted by a central gerbe. These objects arise naturally in the decomposition of the inertia stacks of $G$-Higgs bundles in terms of coendoscopic data. We establish that…
In this paper we refine a version of bivariant $K$-theory developed by Cuntz to define symmetric spectra representing the $KK$-theory of $C^\ast$-categories and discrete groupoid $C^\ast$-algebras. In both cases, the Kasparov product can be…
In the present paper we study some homotopy invariants which can be defined by means of bundles with fiber a matrix algebra. We also introduce some generalization of the Brauer group in the topological context and show that any its element…
For the associative algebra $A(\mathfrak g)$ of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, we introduce twisted fiber bundles over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by elements of algebraic…
