Climate change is currently a central problem in ecology, with far-reaching effects on species that may be diffcult to quantify. Ectothermic species which rely on environmental cues to complete successive stages of their life history are especially sensitive to temperature changes and so are good...

The affine vertex superalgebra A=L^1(D(2,1;-v/w)) plays a key role as the geometric Langlands kernel VOA for SVOAs associated to so(3), osp(1|2) and other rank one Lie superalgbras. Since D(2,1;a) is an extension of the direct sum of 3 copies of sl(2), A can be naturally realized as an...
