The EU was not called the European Coal And Steel Community for nothing, folks.
We talk a mean human rights and democracy. But we’re still the European Coal and Steel Community.

Supersymmetries in the theory of W-algebras
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a basic Lie superalgebra and $f$ be an odd nilpotent element in an $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. We provide a mathematical proof of the statement that the W-algebra $W^k(\mathfrak{g},F)$ for $F=-\frac{1}{2}[f,f]$ is a vertex subalgebra of the SUSY W-algebra $W_{N=1}^k(\mathfrak{g},f)$, and that it commutes with all weight $\frac{1}{2}$ fields in $W_{N=1}^k(\mathfrak{g},f)$. Note that it has been long believed by physicists \cite{MadRag94}. In par…

On singular vectors of simply-laced universal affine vertex operator algebras
Given a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a complex number $κ$, let $V^κ(\mathfrak{g})$ be the associated universal affine vertex algebra. In [GK07], the authors gave a sufficient and necessary condition for $V^κ(\mathfrak{g})$ to be simple. In this paper, we determine the weights of singular vectors of $V^κ(\mathfrak{g})$ with minimal conformal weights, when $\mathfrak{g}$ is simply-laced and $V^κ(\mathfrak{g})$ is not simple.

Prototyping Digital Social Spaces through Metaphor-Driven Design: Translating Spatial Concepts into an Interactive Social Simulation
Social media platforms are central to communication, yet their designs remain narrowly focused on engagement and scale. While researchers have proposed alternative visions for online spaces, these ideas are difficult to prototype within platform constraints. In this paper, we introduce a metaphor-driven system to help users imagine and explore new social media environments. The system translates users' metaphors into structured sets of platform features and generates interactive simulations pop…

Symmetric modules over the infinite polynomial ring I: nilpotent quotients
Cohen proved that the infinite variable polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,x_2,\ldots]$ is noetherian with respect to the action of the infinite symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}$. The first two authors began a program to understand the $\mathfrak{S}$-equivariant algebra of $R$ in detail. In previous work, they classified the $\mathfrak{S}$-prime ideals of $R$. An important example of an $\mathfrak{S}$-prime is the ideal $\mathfrak{h}_s$ generated by $(s+1)$st powers of the variables. In this paper, we study…

Just published: A volume on “Professions as Religious Metaphors” in our @… Metaphor Papers series that I had the pleasure to edit. It’s a nice collection of short case studies on a wide arrange of professions that are used as metaphors of the divine. (My internal working title for it was “God’s jobs” 😉.)

Metaverse Framework for Wireless Systems Management
This article introduces a comprehensive metaverse framework, which is designed for the simulation, emulation, and interaction with wireless systems. The proposed framework integrates core metaverse technologies such as extended reality (XR), digital twins (DTs), artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), blockchain, and advanced 6G networking solutions to create a dynamic, immersive platform for both system development and management. By leveraging XR, users can visualize and engag…

Plant-Centric Metaverse: A Biocentric-Creation Framework for Ecological Art and Digital Symbiosis
Digital ecological art represents an emergent frontier where biological media converge with virtual environments. This study examines the paradigm shift from anthropocentric to plant-centered artistic narratives within the metaverse, contextualizing how digital platforms transform ecological expression. However, current frameworks fail to systematically guide artists in leveraging plant agency for digital symbiosis that transcends human-centered creation. We propose the Biocentric-Creation Tran…
