Algebraic Structures and Differential Geometry in 2D String Theory
, 1992 A careful treatment of closed string BRST cohomology shows that there are more discrete states and associated symmetries in $D=2$ string theory than has been recognized hitherto. The full structure, at the $SU(2)$ radius, has a natural description in terms of abelian gauge theory on a certain three dimensional cone $Q$.

Restrictions of Pfaffian systems for Feynman integrals
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 This work studies limits of Pfaffian systems, a class of first-order PDEs appearing in the Feynman integral calculus. Such limits appear naturally in the context of scattering amplitudes when there is a separation of scale in a given set of kinematic ...

Schubert problems, positivity and symbol letters
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We propose a geometrical approach to generate symbol letters of amplitudes/integrals in planar N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory, known as Schubert problems. Beginning with one-loop integrals, we find that intersections of lines in momentum

Smoothly splitting amplitudes and semi-locality
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 In this paper, we study a novel behavior developed by certain tree-level scalar scattering amplitudes, including the biadjoint, NLSM, and special Galileon, when a subset of kinematic invariants vanishes without producing a singularity.

Elliptic K3 surfaces at infinite complex structure and their refined Kulikov models
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Motivated by the Swampland Distance and the Emergent String Conjecture of Quantum Gravity, we analyse the infinite distance degenerations in the complex structure moduli space of elliptic K3 surfaces. All complex degenerations of K3 surfaces are known to

Numerical metrics, curvature expansions and Calabi-Yau manifolds
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We discuss the extent to which numerical techniques for computing approximations to Ricci-flat metrics can be used to investigate hierarchies of curvature scales on Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Kinematic singularities of Feynman integrals and principal A-determinants
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We consider the analytic properties of Feynman integrals from the perspective of general A-discriminants and A $$ \mathcal{A} $$ -hypergeometric functions introduced by Gelfand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky (GKZ).

On positive geometry and scattering forms for matter particles
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We initiate the study of positive geometry and scattering forms for tree- level amplitudes with matter particles in the (anti-)fundamental representation of the color/flavor group.

Anyons in geometric models of matter
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We show that the “geometric models of matter” approach proposed by the first author can be used to construct models of anyon quasiparticles with fractional quantum numbers, using 4-dimensional edge-cone orbifold geometries with orbifold singularities ...

Duals of Feynman Integrals. Part II. Generalized unitarity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 The first paper of this series introduced objects (elements of twisted relative cohomology) that are Poincaré dual to Feynman integrals. We show how to use the pairing between these spaces — an algebraic invariant called the intersection number — to ...
