Mirror symmetry and quantization of abelian varieties
The paper consists of two sections. The first section provides a new
definition of mirror symmetry of abelian varieties making sense also over
-adic fields. The second section introduces and studies quantized
theta-functions with two-sided multipliers, which are functions on
non-commutative tori. This is an extension of an earlier work by the author. In
the Introduction and in the Appendix the constructions of this paper are put
into a wider context.Comment: 24 pp., amstex file, no figure
Mirror duality and noncommutative tori
In this paper, we study a mirror duality on a generalized complex torus and a
noncommutative complex torus. First, we derive a symplectic version of Riemann
condition using mirror duality on ordinary complex tori. Based on this we will
find a mirror correspondence on generalized complex tori and generalize the
mirror duality on complex tori to the case of noncommutative complex tori.Comment: 22pages, no figure
D-instantons and twistors: some exact results
We present some results on instanton corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli
space in Calabi-Yau compactifications of Type II string theories. Previously,
using twistor methods, only a class of D-instantons (D2-instantons wrapping
A-cycles) was incorporated exactly and the rest was treated only linearly. We
go beyond the linear approximation and give a set of holomorphic functions
which, through a known procedure, capture the effect of D-instantons at all
orders. Moreover, we show that for a sector where all instanton charges have
vanishing symplectic invariant scalar product, the hypermultiplet metric can be
computed explicitly.Comment: 32 pages, 3 figures, uses JHEP3.cls; some changes in section 3.3.3;

Challenges of beta-deformation
A brief review of problems, arising in the study of the beta-deformation,
also known as "refinement", which appears as a central difficult element in a
number of related modern subjects: beta \neq 1 is responsible for deviation
from free fermions in 2d conformal theories, from symmetric omega-backgrounds
with epsilon_2 = - epsilon_1 in instanton sums in 4d SYM theories, from
eigenvalue matrix models to beta-ensembles, from HOMFLY to super-polynomials in
Chern-Simons theory, from quantum groups to elliptic and hyperbolic algebras
etc. The main attention is paid to the context of AGT relation and its possible
generalizations.Comment: 20 page
