Putting a twisted version of N=4 super Yang-Mills on a curved four-dimensional manifold generically breaks all conformal supersymmetries. In the special case where the four-manifold is a cone, we show that exactly two conformal supercharges remain...
We extend the topological field theory (``itsy bitsy topological field theory"') of our previous work from mod-2 to twisted coefficients. This topological field theory is derived from sutured Floer homology but described purely in terms of surfaces w...
Recent results on causality in noncommutative space-time are reviewed. We study, in particular, quantum causal structures in 1+1 dimensional kappa Minkowski space-time. This later is described by a twisted Lorentzian Spectral Triple build with a twis...
This paper has been rendered obsolete by our newer eprint alg-geom/9411005 "Bott's formula and enumerative geometry", which is a considerably expanded version of the same paper, in spite of the change of titles. Please download alg-geom/9411005 ins...
We consider Hilbert's tenth problem for two families of noncommutative rings. Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $p$. We start by showing that Hilbert's tenth problem has a negative answer over the twisted polynomial ring $K\{τ\}$ and its left div...
supercharges, may be assembled into a single Dirac spinor, which consists of two Majorana–Weyl spinors of each chirality. This sigma model is topologically twisted
We review the contributions of Manuele Filaci - a PhD student from the university of Genova prematurely deceased a little more than a year ago - to the description of the Standard Model in noncommutative geometry. Building on Manuele's discovery that...
Are you fucking kidding me? Author, you literally made us believe that Hajun is Yujin, then convinced us that there are two people, and now you're saying that >!Hajun was Yujin all along and OG H...
We consider a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $G$, and twist by a more general locally compact Hausdorff abelian group $Γ$ rather than the complex unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We investigate the construction of $C^*$-algebras in analogue to the usua...
The crystal structure of a material creates a periodic potential that electrons move through giving rise to the electronic band structure of the material. When two-dimensional materials are stacked, the twist angle between the layers becomes an addit...
We systematically investigate ways to twist a real spectral triple via an algebra automorphism and in particular, we naturally define a twisted partner for any real graded spectral triple. Among other things we investigate consequences of the twistin...
This contribution is mainly based on joint papers with Lepowsky and Milas, and some parts of these papers are reproduced here. These papers further extended works by Lepowsky and by Milas. Following our joint papers, I explain the general principle...
Flesh & Wire is a first person shooter that delves into the psychological horror roots of the POSTAL series. Venture into this twisted reality as Angel, a hapless victim suddenly swept up in a fever dream …
We employ general arguments and numerical simulations to show that unpaired Majorana zero modes can occur in cores of Abrikosov vortices at the interface between a three-dimensional topological insulator, such as Bi$_2$Se$_3$, and a twisted bilayer o...
In recent decades, state legislatures have often drawn U.S. Congressional voting districts that look---to the human eye---to be rather twisted. In this paper, we propose a method to measure how much districts "meander" via a computation of the medial...
We present a calculation of the Casimir torque acting on a liquid crystal near a birefringent crystal. In this system, a liquid crystal bulk is uniformly aligned at one surface and is twisted at the other surface by a birefringent crystal, e.g. bariu...
