This chapter first studies the automorphic forms that are defined as global sections of certain invertible sheaves on the toroidal compactifications. The local structures of toroidal compactifications lead naturally to the theory of Fourier–Jacobi expansions and the Fourier–Jacobi expansion principle. The chapter also obtains the algebraic construction of arithmetic minimal compactifications (of the coarse moduli associated with moduli problems), which are projective normal schemes defined over the same integral bases as the moduli problems are. As a by-product of codimension counting, we obtain Koecher's principle for arithmetic automorphic forms (of naive parallel weights). Furthermore, this chapter shows the projectivity of a large class of arithmetic toroidal compactifications by realizing them as normalizations of blowups of the corresponding minimal compactifications.

This chapter explains the algebraic construction of toroidal compactifications. For this purpose the chapter utilizes the theory of toroidal embeddings for torsors under groups of multiplicative type. Based on this theory, the chapter begins the general construction of local charts on which degeneration data for PEL structures are tautologically associated. The next important step is the description of good formal models, and good algebraic models approximating them. The correct formulation of necessary properties and the actual construction of these good algebraic models are the key to the gluing process in the étale topology. In particular, this includes the comparison of local structures using certain Kodaira–Spencer morphisms. As a result of gluing, this chapter obtains the arithmetic toroidal compactifications in the category of algebraic stacks. The chapter is concluded by a study of Hecke actions on towers of arithmetic toroidal compactifications.

Abstract We uncover a Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT)-type factorization of closed string amplitudes into open string amplitudes for closed string states carrying winding and momentum in toroidal compactifications. The winding and momentum closed string quantum numbers map respectively to the integer and fractional winding quantum numbers of open strings ending on a D-brane array localized in the compactified directions. The closed string amplitudes factorize into products of open string scattering amplitudes with the open strings ending on a D-brane configuration determined by closed string data.

AbstractTogether with J. Paseka we introduced so-called sectionally pseudocomplemented lattices and posets and illuminated their role in algebraic constructions. We believe that—similar to relatively pseudocomplemented lattices—these structures can serve as an algebraic semantics of certain intuitionistic logics. The aim of the present paper is to define congruences and filters in these structures, derive mutual relationships between them and describe basic properties of congruences in strongly sectionally pseudocomplemented posets. For the description of filters in both sectionally pseudocomplemented lattices and posets, we use the tools introduced by A. Ursini, i.e., ideal terms and the closedness with respect to them. It seems to be of some interest that a similar machinery can be applied also for strongly sectionally pseudocomplemented posets in spite of the fact that the corresponding ideal terms are not everywhere defined.

In this paper the problem of constructing space–time from string theory is addressed in the context of D-brane physics. It is suggested that the knowledge of discrete configurations of D-branes is sufficient to reconstruct the motivic building blocks of certain Calabi–Yau varieties. The collections of D-branes involved have algebraic base points, leading to the notion of K-arithmetic D-crystals for algebraic number fields K. This idea can be tested for D0-branes in the framework of toroidal compactifications via the conjectures of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. For the special class of D0-crystals of Heegner type these conjectures can be interpreted as formulae that relate the canonical Néron–Tate height of the base points of the D-crystals to special values of the motivic L-function at the central point. In simple cases the knowledge of the D-crystals of Heegner type suffices to uniquely determine the geometry.

We show explicitly how Batalin–Vilkovisky Yang–Mills action emerges as a homotopy generalization of Chern–Simons theory from the algebraic constructions arising from string field theory.
