Wilson-'t Hooft operators in four-dimensional gauge theories and S-duality

TL;DR: The Wilson-t Hooft operator as mentioned in this paper is a topologically nontrivial operator that is localized on a straight line, creates electric and magnetic flux, and in the UV limit breaks the conformal invariance in the minimal possible way.

Symmetric invariant bilinear forms on vertex operator algebras

TL;DR: In this paper, a criterion for determining the existence of nonzero symmetric invariant bilinear forms on vertex operator algebras and an analogue of the Cartan criterion for semi-simplicity are presented.

Voronoi regions of lattices, second moments of polytopes, and quantization

TL;DR: The answers to the squared distance questions and a description of the Voronoi (or nearest neighbor) regions of these lattices have applications to quantization and to the design of signals for the Gaussian channel.

Gaussian Groups and Garside Groups, Two Generalisations of Artin Groups

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that Garside groups are geodesically fully biautomatic, and that the language of normal forms for Gaussian groups is regular, symmetric, and geodesic.

Local Systems of Vertex Operators, Vertex Superalgebras and Modules

TL;DR: The notion of vertex operator superalgebras was introduced in this paper, where it was shown that any local system of vertex operators on a super vector space has a natural vertex (super)algebra structure with $M$ as a module.

Local systems of vertex operators, vertex superalgebras and modules

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the vertex operator superalgebra V has a vertex (super)algebra structure with M as a module, and for a vertex operator V, giving a V-module M is equivalent to giving a vertex operators homomorphism from V to some local system of vertex operators on a vector space.

Introduction to Shimura Varieties

TL;DR: In this article, an introduction to the theory of Shimura varieties is given, or, in other words, to the arithmetic theory of automorphic functions and holomorphic automomorphic forms.
