    A Level-Depth Correspondence between Verlinde Rings and Subfactors

    No full text
    We establish a correspondence between the levels of Verlinde rings and the depths of subfactors. Given the ll-level Verlinde ring Rl(G)R_l(G) of a simple compact Lie group GG, the tensor products of fundamental representations give us the inclusion of a pair of II1\text{II}_1 factors NMN\subset M. For the depth dd of NMN\subset M, we first prove d=ld=l for type An,CnA_n,C_n and B2B_2. More generally, the depth dd is shown to satisfy βldl\beta\cdot l\leq d\leq l with β(0,1)\beta\in (0,1), where β\beta is uniquely determined by the simple type of GG. We also show that the simple NN-NN-bimodules contained in L2(M)L^2(M) generate the Verlinde ring Rl(G)R_l(G) as its fusion category

    We prove an explicit formula for the total Chern character of the Verlinde bundle of conformal blocks over M¯[subscript g,n] in terms of tautological classes. The Chern characters of the Verlinde bundles define a semisimple CohFT (the ranks, given by the Verlinde formula, determine a semisimple fusion algebra). According to Teleman’s classification of semisimple CohFTs, there exists an element of Givental’s group transforming the fusion algebra into the CohFT. We determine the element using the first Chern class of the Verlinde bundle on the interior M[subscript g,n] and the projective flatness of the Hitchin connection

    We prove an explicit formula for the total Chern character of the Verlinde bundle of conformal blocks over ℳ ¯ g , n \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n} in terms of tautological classes. The Chern characters of the Verlinde bundles define a semisimple CohFT (the ranks, given by the Verlinde formula, determine a semisimple fusion algebra). According to Teleman's classification of semisimple CohFTs, there exists an element of Givental's group transforming the fusion algebra into the CohFT.

    Abstract We prove an explicit formula for the total Chern character of the Verlinde bundle of conformal blocks over ℳ ¯ g , n \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n} in terms of tautological classes. The Chern characters of the Verlinde bundles define a semisimple CohFT (the ranks, given by the Verlinde formula, determine a semisimple fusion algebra).

    The electrostatic view on M-theory LLM geometries

    No full text
    We describe the geometry of the R x SO(3) x SO(6) x U(1) invariant half-BPS M-theory configurations considered in LLM in terms of their electrostatic variables. We discuss both regular configurations, such as AdS_4 x S^7 and AdS_7 x S^4 vacua or simple excited solutions, and singular ones such as the superstar geometries. This allows us to identify the appropriate boundary conditions describing the most general smooth and superstar-like singular configurations. We also compute their masses, matching the expected result from their microscopic interpretation, but now at finite radius of curvature

    Equivariant Verlinde algebra from superconformal index and Argyres-Seiberg duality

    No full text
    In this paper, we show the equivalence between two seemingly distinct 2d TQFTs: one comes from the “Coulomb branch index” of the class SS theory T[Σ,G] on L(k,1)×S^1, the other is the LGLG “equivariant Verlinde formula”, or equivalently partition function of LGCLGC complex Chern–Simons theory on Σ×S^1. We first derive this equivalence using the M-theory geometry and show that the gauge groups appearing on the two sides are naturally G and its Langlands dual LGLG. When G is not simply-connected, we provide a recipe of computing the index of T[Σ,G] as summation over the indices of T[Σ,G] with non-trivial background ’t Hooft fluxes, where G is the universal cover of G. Then we check explicitly this relation between the Coulomb index and the equivariant Verlinde formula for G=SU(2) or SO(3). In the end, as an application of this newly found relation, we consider the more general case where G is SU(N) or PSU(N) and show that equivariant Verlinde algebra can be derived using field theory via (generalized) Argyres–Seiberg duality. We also attach a Mathematica notebook that can be used to compute the SU(3) equivariant Verlinde coefficients

    Virtual Segre and Verlinde numbers of projective surfaces

    No full text
    Recently, Marian-Oprea-Pandharipande established (a generalization of) Lehn's conjecture for Segre numbers associated to Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces. Extending work of Johnson, they provided a conjectural correspondence between Segre and Verlinde numbers. For surfaces with holomorphic 2-form, we propose conjectural generalizations of their results to moduli spaces of stable sheaves of any rank. Using Mochizuki's formula, we derive a universal function which expresses virtual Segre and Verlinde numbers of surfaces with holomorphic 2-form in terms of Seiberg-Witten invariants and intersection numbers on products of Hilbert schemes of points. We prove that certain canonical virtual Segre and Verlinde numbers of general type surfaces are topological invariants and we verify our conjectures in examples. The power series in our conjectures are algebraic functions, for which we find expressions in several cases and which are permuted under certain Galois actions. Our conjectures imply an algebraic analog of the Mari\~{n}o-Moore conjecture for higher rank Donaldson invariants. For ranks 33 and 44, we obtain explicit expressions for Donaldson invariants in terms of Seiberg-Witten invariants.Comment: Published version. 38 page

    Cardy-Verlinde Formula and Its Self-Gravitational Corrections for Regular Black Holes

    No full text
    We check the consistency of the entropy of Bardeen and Ayón Beato-García-Bronnikov black holes with the entropy of particular conformal field theory via Cardy-Verlinde formula. We also compute the first-order semiclassical corrections of this formula due to self-gravitational effects by modifying pure extensive and Casimir energy in the context of Keski-Vakkuri, Kraus and Wilczek analysis. It is concluded that the correction term remains positive for both black holes, which leads to the violation of the holographic bound
