Supersymmetric Black Holes
The effective action of $N=2$, $d=4$ supergravity is shown to acquire no quantum corrections in background metrics admitting super-covariantly constant spinors. In particular, these metrics include the Robinson-Bertotti metric (product of two 2-dimensional spaces of constant curvature) with all 8 supersymmetries unbrok...

Classical A_n--W-Geometry
This is a detailed development for the $A_n$ case, of our previous article entitled "W-Geometries" to be published in Phys. Lett. It is shown that the $A_n$--W-geometry corresponds to chiral surfaces in $CP^n$. This is comes out by discussing 1) the extrinsic geometries of chiral surfaces (Frenet-Serret and Gauss-Codaz...

Coset Constructions in Chern-Simons Gauge Theory
Coset constructions in the framework of Chern-Simons topological gauge theories are studied. Two examples are considered: models of the types ${U(1)_p\times U(1)_q\over U(1)_{p+q}}\cong U(1)_{pq(p+q)}$ with $p$ and $q$ coprime integers, and ${SU(2)_m\times SU(2)_1\over SU(2)_{m+1}}$. In the latter case it is shown that...

Can a Lattice String Have a Vanishing Cosmological Constant?
We prove that a class of one-loop partition functions found by Dienes, giving rise to a vanishing cosmological constant to one-loop, cannot be realized by a consistent lattice string. The construction of non-supersymmetric string with a vanishing cosmological constant therefore remains as elusive as ever. We also discu...

Current Algebra of Classical Non-Linear Sigma Models
The current algebra of classical non-linear sigma models on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds is analyzed. It is found that introducing, in addition to the Noether current $j_\mu$ associated with the global symmetry of the theory, a composite scalar field $j$, the algebra closes under Poisson brackets.

On the Removable Singularities for Meromorphic Mappings
If E is a nonempty closed subset of the locally finite Hausdorff (2n-2)-measure on an n-dimensional complex manifold M and all points of E are nonremovable for a meromorphic mapping of M \ E into a compact K\"ahler manifold, then E is a pure (n-1)-dimensional complex analytic subset of M.

Lifting of cohomology and unobstructedness of certain holomorphic maps
Let $f$ be a holomorphic mapping between compact complex manifolds. We give a criterion for $f$ to have {\it unobstructed deformations}, i.e. for the local moduli space of $f$ to be smooth: this says, roughly speaking, that the group of infinitesimal deformations of $f$, when viewed as a functor, itself satisfies a nat...

Radon transform and curvature
We interpret the setting for a Radon transform as a submanifold of the space of generalized functions, and compute its extrinsic curvature: it is the Hessian composed with the Radon transform.
