  • Enumerative geometry, quantum integrable systems and q-Langlands correspondence

    We investigate the relationship between quantum integrable systems and enumerative geometry, motivated by the results in the study of supersymmetric gauge theories.

  • Higher Teichmüller theory

    We construct the analogue of Penner coordinates on the N=1 and N=2 super-Teichmüller spaces. Future projects based on this work involve super-analogue of cluster algebras, computations of volumes of supermoduli spaces, quantization of (higher) super-Teichmüller spaces.

  • Quantum groups and Kac-Moody algebras

    • Towards the continuous Kazhdan-Lusztig correspondence. Chern-Simons theory for real reductive Lie groups

      We attempt to build the braided tensor category of modules for affine Kac-Moody algebras, equivalent to the modular double tensor category of quantum groups. This will lead to the mathematical understanding of WZW model and Chern-Simons theory for real reductive Lie groups.

    • Semi-infinite cohomology, quantum groups and noncommutative geometry

      We introduce a new approach to quantum groups as semi-infinite cohomology rings for certain braided vertex algebras. This leads to surprising realizations of some constructions in noncommutative geometry.

  • Homotopy Gerstenhaber algebras, Einstein equations and Courant algebroids

    Using the relation to 2-dimensional sigma models, we construct an underlying homotopy Gerstenhaber algebra within Einstein equations with extra fields. Such an algebraic structure is naturally related to the Courant algebroid.

  • Geometric Langlands correspondence for supergroups

    We define a counterpart of an oper on a supercurve and study the analogue of Geometric Langlands correspondence in the simplest nontrivial case of OSp(1|2) supergroup. In the future we plan to extend it to higher rank case.
