Universal quadratic forms and Whitney tower intersection invariants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The first part of this paper exposits a simple geometric description of the Kirby-Siebenmann invariant of a 4--manifold in terms of a quadratic refinement of its intersection form.

Quadratic forms and linear algebraic groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Topics discussed at the workshop Quadratic Forms and Linear Algebraic Groups included besides the algebraic theory of quadratic and Hermitian forms and their Witt groups several aspects of the theory of linear algebraic groups and homogeneous varieties ...

Unimodular homotopy algebras and Chern-Simons theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Quantum Chern-Simons invariants of differentiable manifolds are analyzed from the point of view of homological algebra. Given a manifold M and a Lie (or, more generally, an L-infinity) algebra g, the vector space H^*(M) \otimes g has the structure of an ...

A new construction of Moufang quadrangles of type E6, E7 and E8 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In the classification of Moufang polygons by J. Tits and R. Weiss, the most intricate case is by far the case of the exceptional Moufang quadrangles of type E6, E7 and E8, and in fact, the construction that they present is ad-hoc and lacking a deeper ...

A Self-Dual Integral Form of the Moonshine Module [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We construct a self-dual integral form of the moonshine vertex operator algebra, and show that it has symmetries given by the Fischer-Griess monster simple group.

Factor-Group-Generated Polar Spaces and (Multi-)Qudits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Recently, a number of interesting relations have been discovered between generalised Pauli/Dirac groups and certain finite geometries. Here, we succeeded in finding a general unifying framework for all these relations.

From qubits to E7

open access: yes, 2010
There is a intriguing relation between quantum information theory and super gravity, discovered by M.J. Duff and S. Ferrara. It relates entanglement measures for qubits to black hole entropy, which in a certain case involves the quartic invariant on the ...

Quasi-classical Lie algebras and their contractions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
After classifying indecomposable quasi-classical Lie algebras in low dimension, and showing the existence of non-reductive stable quasi-classical Lie algebras, we focus on the problem of obtaining sufficient conditions for a quasi-classical Lie algebras ...

Operads and moduli spaces of genus $0$ Riemann surfaces

open access: yes, 1994
We study a pair of dual operads which arise in the study of moduli spaces of pointed genus 0 curves (this duality is similar to that between commutative and Lie algebras).

On choice of preconditioner for minimum residual methods for nonsymmetric matrices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Existing convergence bounds for Krylov subspace methods such as GMRES for nonsymmetric linear systems give little mathematical guidance for the choice of preconditioner.
