By using the Atiyah–Singer theorem through some similarities with the instanton and the antiinstanton moduli spaces, the dimension of the moduli space for two- and four-dimensional BF theories valued in different background manifolds and gauge groups scenarios is determined. Additionally, we develop Dirac's canonical analysis for a four-dimensional modified BF theory, which reproduces the topological YM theory. This framework will allow us to understand the local symmetries, the constraints, the extended Hamiltonian and the extended action of the theory.

The purpose of this Comment is to point out that the results presented in the appendix of M. Mondragon and M. Montesinos, J. Math. Phys.47, 022301 (2006) provides a generic method so as to deal with cases as those of Sec. 6 of R. Cartas-Fuentevilla, A. Escalante-Hernández, and J. Berra-Montiel, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A26, 3013 (2011). The results already reported are: the canonical analysis, the transformations generated by the constraints, and the analysis of the reducibility of the constraints for SO (3, 1) and SO (4) four-dimensional BF theory coupled or not to a cosmological constant. But such results are generic and hold actually for any Lie algebra having a nondegenerate inner product invariant under the action of the gauge group.

The Continuum

We discuss the interplay between standard canonical analysis and canonical discretization in three-dimensional gravity with cosmological constant. By using the Hamiltonian analysis, we find that the continuum local symmetries of the theory are given by the on-shell space–time diffeomorphisms, which at the action level, correspond to the Kalb–Ramond transformations. At the time of discretization, although this symmetry is explicitly broken, we prove that the theory still preserves certain gauge freedom generated by a constant curvature relation in terms of holonomies and the Gauss's law in the lattice approach.

We perform Dirac's canonical analysis for a four-dimensional BF and for a generalized four-dimensional BF theory depending on a connection valued in the Lie algebra of SO(3, 1). This analysis is developed by considering the corresponding complete set of variables that define these theories as dynamical, and we find out the relevant symmetries, the constraints, the extended Hamiltonian, the extended action, gauge transformations and the counting of physical degrees of freedom. The results obtained are compared with other approaches found in the literature.

Stable Vector Bundles

For a prime p, the gauge group of a principal U(p)-bundle over a compact, orientable Riemann surface is decomposed up to homotopy as a product of spaces, each of which is commonly known. This is used to deduce explicit computations of the homotopy groups of the moduli space of stable vector bundles through a range, answering a question of Daskalopoulos and Uhlenbeck.

We classify orbifold geometries which can be interpreted as moduli spaces of four-dimensional \mathcal{N}\geq 3𝒩≥3 superconformal field theories up to rank 2 (complex dimension 6). The large majority of the geometries we find correspond to moduli spaces of known theories or discretely gauged version of them. Remarkably, we find 6 geometries which are not realized by any known theory, of which 3 have an \mathcal{N}=2𝒩=2 Coulomb branch slice with a non-freely generated coordinate ring, suggesting the existence of new, exotic \mathcal{N}=3𝒩=3 theories.

Abstract Motivated by the search for rational points in moduli spaces of two-dimensional conformal field theories, we investigate how points with enhanced symmetry algebras are distributed there. We first study the bosonic sigma-model with S1 target space in detail and uncover hitherto unknown features. We find for instance that the vanishing of the twist gap, though true for the S1 example, does not automatically follow from enhanced symmetry points being dense in the moduli space. We then explore the supersymmetric sigma-model on K3 by perturbing away from the torus orbifold locus. Though we do not reach a definite conclusion on the distribution of enhanced symmetry points in the K3 moduli space, we make several observations on how chiral currents can emerge and disappear under conformal perturbation theory.

AbstractWe study the motive of the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles of coprime rank and degree on a smooth projective curve C over a field k under the assumption that C has a rational point. We show this motive is contained in the thick tensor subcategory of Voevodsky’s triangulated category of motives with rational coefficients generated by the motive of C. Moreover, over a field of characteristic zero, we prove a motivic non-abelian Hodge correspondence: the integral motives of the Higgs and de Rham moduli spaces are isomorphic.

Abstract We investigate qualitative properties of the underlying scheme of Rapoport–Zink formal moduli spaces of p-divisible groups (resp., shtukas). We single out those cases where the dimension of this underlying scheme is zero (resp., those where the dimension is the maximal possible). The model case for the first alternative is the Lubin–Tate moduli space, and the model case for the second alternative is the Drinfeld moduli space. We exhibit a complete list in both cases.

Abstract Let C be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g \geq 3$ . In this paper, we give a new geometric description of the theta map for moduli spaces of rank 2 semistable vector bundles on C with trivial determinant. In order to do this, we describe a fibration of (a birational model of) the moduli space, whose fibers are GIT quotients $(\mathbb {P}^1)^{2g}//\text {PGL(2)}$ . Then, we identify the restriction of the theta map to these GIT quotients with some explicit degree 2 osculating projection. As a corollary of this construction, we obtain a birational inclusion of a fibration in Kummer $(g-1)$ -varieties over $\mathbb {P}^g$ inside the ramification locus of the theta map.
