We give a construction which produces a positive energy representation of the affine Lie algebra of type A_n from the Stokes data of a solution of the tt*-Toda equations of type A_n. The construction appears to play a role in conformal field theory. We illustrate this with several examples: the fusion ring, W-algebra minimal models (Argyres-Douglas theory), as well as topological-antitopological fusion itself. (Minor typographical changes for this version.)

By carrying out a systematic investigation of linear, test quantum fields φ̂(x) in cosmological space-times, we show that φ̂(x) remain well-defined across the big bang as operator valued distributions in a large class of Friedmann, Lemâıtre, Robertson, Walker space-times, including radiation and dust filled universes. In particular, the expectation values 〈φ̂(x) φ̂(x ′)〉 are well-defined bi-distributions in the extended space-time in spite of the big bang singularity. Interestingly, correlations between fields evaluated at spatially and temporally separated points exhibit an asymmetry that is reminiscent of the Belinskii, Khalatnikov, Lifshitz behavior. The renormalized products of fields 〈φ̂(x)〉ren and 〈T̂ab(x)〉ren also remain well-defined as distributions. Conformal coupling is not necessary for these considerations to hold. Thus, when probed with observables associated with quantum fields, the big bang (and the big crunch) singularities are quite harmless.

We prove that the derived critical locus of a $G$-invariant function $S:Xtomathbb{A}^1$ carries a shifted moment map, and that its derived symplectic reduction is the derived critical locus of the induced function $S_{red}:X/Gtomathbb{A}^1$ on the orbit stack. We also provide a relative version of this result, and show that derived symplectic reduction commutes with derived lagrangian intersections.

In this paper, we consider the multi component fields interactions of the complex scalar fields and the electromagnetic fields (Maxwell-Klein-Gordon system) on four dimensional Minkowski spacetime with general gauge couplings and the scalar potential turned on. Moreover, the complex scalar fields span an internal manifold assumed to be Kähler. Then, by taking the Kähler potential to be bounded by U(1)N symmetric Kähler potential, the gauge couplings to be bounded functions, and the scalar potential to be the form of either polynomial, sine-Gordon, or Toda potential, we prove the global existence of the system.

We investigate combinatorial and algebraic aspects of the interplay between renormalization and monodromies for Feynman amplitudes. We clarify how extraction of subgraphs from a Feynman graph interacts with putting edges onshell or with contracting them to obtain reduced graphs. Graph by graph this leads to a study of cointeracting bialgebras. One bialgebra comes from extraction of subgraphs and hence is needed for renormalization. The other bialgebra is an incidence bialgebra for edges put either on- or offshell. It is hence related to the monodromies of the multivalued function to which a renormalized graph evaluates. Summing over infinite series of graphs, consequences for Green functions are derived using combinatorial Dyson--Schwinger equations.

LIGO’s successful detection of gravitational waves has revitalized the theoretical understanding of the angular momentum carried away by gravitational radiation. An infinite dimensional supertranslation ambiguity has presented an essential difficulty for decades of study. Recent advances were made to address and quantify the supertranslation ambiguity in the context of compact binary coalescence. Here we present the first definition of angular momentum in general relativity that is completely free from supertranslation ambiguity. The new definition was derived from the limit of the quasilocal angular momentum defined previously by the authors. A new definition of center of mass at null infinity is also proposed and shown to be supertranslation invariant. Together with the classical Bondi-Sachs energy-momentum, they form a complete set of conserved quantities at null infinity that transform according to basic physical laws.

We review the construction of almost contact metric (three-) structures on manifolds with a G2 structure. These are of interest for certain supersymmetric configurations in string and M-theory. We compute the torsion of the SU(3) structure associated to an ACMS and apply these computations to heterotic G2 systems and supersymmetry enhancement. We initiate the study of the space of ACM3Ss, which is an infinite dimensional space with a local product structure and interesting topological features. Tantalising links between ACM3Ss and associative and coassociative submanifolds are observed. ar X iv :2 10 1. 12 60 5v 1 [ he pth ] 2 9 Ja n 20 21

We develop the Dirac-Schwinger-Zwanziger (DSZ) quantization of classical abelian gauge theories with general duality structure on oriented Lorentzian four-manifolds $(M,g)$ of arbitrary topology, obtaining, as a result, the duality-covariant geometric formulation of such theories through connections on principal bundles. We implement the DSZ condition by restricting the field strengths of the theory to those which define classes originating in the degree-two cohomology of a local system valued in the groupoid of integral symplectic spaces. We prove that such field strengths are curvatures of connections $mathcal{A}$ defined on principal bundles $P$ whose structure group $G$ is the disconnected group of automorphisms of an integral affine symplectic torus. The connected component of the identity of $G$ is a torus group, while its group of connected components is a modified Siegel modular group. This formulation includes electromagnetic and magnetoelectric gauge potentials on an equal footing and describes the equations of motion through a first-order polarized self-duality condition for the curvature of $mathcal{A}$. The condition involves a combination of the Hodge operator of $(M,g)$ with a taming of the duality structure determined by $P$, whose choice encodes the self-couplings of the theory. This description is reminiscent of the theory of four-dimensional euclidean instantons, even though we consider a two-derivative theory in Lorentzian signature. We use this formulation to characterize the hierarchy of duality groups of abelian gauge theory, providing a gauge-theoretic description of the electromagnetic duality group as the discrete remnant of the gauge group of $P$. We also perform the time-like reduction of the polarized self-duality condition to a Riemannian three-manifold, obtaining a new type of Bogomolny equation which we solve explicitly in a particular case.
