Cyclic Models and Holomorphic Reduction in Heterotic Deformation Theory
Bram Brongers
We construct a finite cyclic presentation (that is, a cyclic algebra with brackets vanishing above arity three) of the variational deformation theory defined by th…
Derived deformation theory of heterotic systems near the standard embedding
Bram Brongers
We study heterotic structures near a torsion-free standard embedding, to first order in and to all orders in formal deformations. The tangent connection is the Hull conn…
Chain-level decoupling of the physical heterotic deformation complex at the standard embedding
Bram Brongers
The physical deformation complex of heterotic compactifications couples instanton deformations to geometric fields and their first-order corrections. We give an explicit…
Improving Swaption Calibration in Factor HJM Stochastic Volatility Models: A First-Order Correction to Frozen Swap-Rate Loadings
Bram Brongers
The factor HJM stochastic volatility model introduced by Sepp and Rakhmonov (2025) obtains tractable swaption pricing by freezing the nonlinear swap-rate loading along a determinis…
