Given a finite abelian group $G$ and a Sylow $p$-subgroup $N_p$, we prove that the $KU_G/p$-local sphere spectrum is equivalent to the homotopy fixed points of a $p$-complete $KO_{N_p}$-module spectrum. Then we compute the…

In this short note we give a negative answer to the following open question: \emph{Let $X$ be a $\sigma$-compact paratopological group. Does there exist a continuous isomorphism of $X$ onto a topological group $G$?} Specifically, we…

We prove that smooth quartic threefolds are symplectically irrational, i.e., cannot be related to projective space by a series of symplectic blow-ups, blow-downs, and deformations. This implies that they are algebraically irrational,…

This paper develops new aspects of the interplay between shifted symplectic geometry and classical Poisson geometry, focusing on lagrangian morphisms into 2-shifted symplectic groups. We establish a Lie-type correspondence between such…

Let $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z})$ for all prime $p$. Borel--Serre demonstrated that the cohomology of $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ vanishes above degree $n^2$. We prove…

We introduce the wreath product for a class of operadic categories and use it to construct an explicit isomorphism between the Boardman-Vogt tensor product of two colored operads in Set and an operad induced by the wreath product of…

We show that prequantization bundles have explicit Legendrian barriers, whose removal obstruct the embedding of long cylinders over Legendrian submanifolds.

Let $\mathcal{G}_k$ denote the gauge group of the principal $G_2$--bundle over $S^4$ classified by $k\in \pi_4(BG_2)\cong \mathbb Z$. Motivated by the $p$--local homotopy classification of these gauge groups, due to…

Given a very special $\Gamma$-space $X$, repeated application of Segal's delooping functor produces the constituent spaces of the associated connective $\Omega$-spectrum. In particular, by applying this construction to \textit{discrete}…

Let $L$ be a closed Lagrangian submanifold of a symplectic manifold $(X,\omega)$. Cieliebak and Mohnke define the symplectic area of $L$ as the minimal positive symplectic area of a smooth $2$-disk in $X$ with boundary on $L$. An extremal…

For K\"ahler K3 surfaces we consider Kulikov models of type III tamed by a symplectic form. Our main result shows that the generic smooth fiber admits an almost toric fibration over the intersection complex, which inherits a natural nodal…

We describe the main properties of the $RO(C_2\times \Sigma_2)$-graded cohomology ring of a point and apply the results to compute the subring of motivic classes given by the Bredon motivic cohomology of real numbers and to compute…

In this Part 2 of our article we give a detailed discussion of the compatibility between the analytic Gysin maps we have defined in Part 1 and the topological Gysin maps defined by the second author. A significant role is played by a…

We propose a practical computational framework for detecting structural changes in parameter-dependent topological data. In many applications, such as time-series data analysis, anomaly detection, and monitoring of systems under changing…

We explore Seshadri constants associated to weighted blow-ups of complex projective varieties and demonstrate how to use this notion to construct symplectic embeddings of ellipsoids. We illustrate the utility of this point of view by…

In the context of geometric measure theory, Llorente-Winter introduced the (average) fractal Euler number as a notion of the Euler characteristic for fractals embedded in Euclidean space. However, the class of fractals to which it is…

We introduce a theoretical framework that connects multi-chart autoencoders in manifold learning with the classical theory of vector bundles and characteristic classes. Rather than viewing autoencoders as producing a single global Euclidean…

We study the coarse motive of the quotient $\mathcal{O}^{\infty}(X)//G$ of the cone of a uniform bornological coarse space $X$ with $G$-action. If $X$ admits a sufficiently ergodic probability measure, then we show that the coarse assembly…

We study the symplectic semi-characteristic of a closed 4n-dimensional symplectic manifold. First, using the even-degree part of the primitive cohomology, we define the symplectic semi-characteristic. Second, using a vector field with…

We develop an obstruction theory for Hirsch extensions of cbba's with twisted coefficients. This leads to a variety of applications, including a structural theorem for minimal cbba's, a construction of relative minimal models with twisted…
