The Mathai-Quillen Formalism and Topological Field Theory
These lecture notes give an introductory account of an approach to cohomological field theory due to Atiyah and Jeffrey which is based on the construction of Gaussian shaped Thom forms by Mathai and Quillen.

de Sitter State in Heterotic String Theory
Abstract Recent no‐go theorems have ruled out four‐dimensional classical de Sitter vacua in heterotic string theory. On the other hand, the absence of a well‐defined Wilsonian effective action and other related phenomena also appear to rule out such time‐dependent vacua with de Sitter isometries, even in the presence of quantum corrections.

Wegner estimate and upper bound on the eigenvalue condition number of non‐Hermitian random matrices
Abstract We consider N×N$N\times N$ non‐Hermitian random matrices of the form X+A$X+A$, where A$A$ is a general deterministic matrix and NX$\sqrt {N}X$ consists of independent entries with zero mean, unit variance, and bounded densities. For this ensemble, we prove (i) a Wegner estimate, that is, that the local density of eigenvalues is bounded by N1+o(

In this paper we discuss the connection on a space of $N=2$ TCFT's that appears in the context of background (in)dependence. We formulate a family of {\it target space field theories} with a similar connection on it.

Link splitting deformation of colored Khovanov–Rozansky homology
Abstract We introduce a multiparameter deformation of the triply‐graded Khovanov–Rozansky homology of links colored by one‐column Young diagrams, generalizing the “y$y$‐ified” link homology of Gorsky–Hogancamp and work of Cautis–Lauda–Sussan. For each link component, the natural set of deformation parameters corresponds to interpolation coordinates on ...

Lattice supersymmetry, superfields and renormalization
We study Euclidean lattice formulations of non-gauge supersymmetric models with up to four supercharges in various dimensions. We formulate the conditions under which the interacting lattice theory can exactly preserve one or more nilpotent anticommuting

Abstract We construct a family of solvable lattice models whose partition functions include p$p$‐adic Whittaker functions for general linear groups from two very different sources: from Iwahori‐fixed vectors and from metaplectic covers. Interpolating between them by Drinfeld twisting, we uncover unexpected relationships between Iwahori and metaplectic ...

Octonionic Magical Supergravity, Niemeier Lattices, and Exceptional & Hilbert Modular Forms
Abstract The quantum degeneracies of Bogomolny‐Prasad‐Sommerfield (BPS) black holes of octonionic magical supergravity in five dimensions are studied. Quantum degeneracy is defined purely number theoretically as the number of distinct states in charge space with a given set of invariant labels.

The Geometric Phase in Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics
We explore the geometric phase in N=(2,2) supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The Witten index ensures the existence of degenerate ground states, resulting in a non-Abelian Berry connection.

Large-N reduced models of supersymmetric quiver, Chern-Simons gauge theories and ABJM
Using the Eguchi-Kawai equivalence, we provide regularizations of supersymmetric quiver and Chern-Simons gauge theories which leave the supersymmetries unbroken. This allow us to study many interesting theories on a computer.
