Given a non-zero polynomial $P(x)$, we study Fuchsian differential operators of the form $L=\partial_x^2-u(x)$ such that for all $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ the operator $L+\lambda P(x)$ is monodromy free. We prove that all such operators are…

We study spaces of conformal blocks associated with line bundles over elliptic curves, with coefficients in a vertex algebra. For vertex algebras satisfying suitable finiteness and semisimplicity conditions, which are met by all admissible…

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…

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

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 develop a graphical calculus for monoidal categories equipped with twisted pivotal structures, which are a generalization of pivotal structures originating from the study of orientation structures in the context of the Cobordism…

We study the geodesic flow on the unit cotangent bundle $M=S^{*}\mathcal{N}$ of a closed hyperbolic surface $\mathcal{N}$, using the representation theory of $SL_{2}(\mathbb{R})$. We construct explicit $X$-adapted Hilbert spaces, obtained…

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 this paper, we develop a mixed quantization technique for graph vector bundles and apply it to several asymptotic spectral problems, including the Alon-Boppana bound, the Kesten-McKay law, asymptotic determinant, quantum ergodicity, zero…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded Lipschitz domain. For any $\epsilon\in (0,1)$ we show that for any Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_k(\Omega)>\Lambda(\epsilon,\Omega)$, it holds \begin{align*} k&\le…

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 the theory of $\hbar$-vertex algebras, algebraic structures closely related to vertex algebras but with a deformed translation covariance axiom. We establish their structure theory, including analogues of Goddard's Uniqueness…

In this paper, we introduce and study shifted twisted quantum affine algebras which provide a twisted counterpart of the theory of shifted quantum affine algebras. The shifted twisted quantum affine algebra $\U_q^{\mu_+,\mu_-}(\hgs)$ is…

This work studies spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators in the context of aperiodic order, using weighted Delone sets to explore the interplay between the underlying dynamics and spectral properties. We study parameter-dependent…

We construct open Gromov-Witten invariants in genus zero for arbitrary closed symplectic manifolds and embedded relatively spin Lagrangians, which are weakly unobstructed by a bounding cochain. This uses the foundational work of…

The goal of this note is to show that the left $\chi$-coalgebra, which is an additional structure on one of the coefficients used in the construction of the cyclic operator for the cyclic sets that generalises the twisted nerve of a group…

In the spirit of the geometric approach to two-dimensional conformal field theory, we explicitly associate to every holomorphic vertex operator algebra a section of a power of Hodge line bundle on the moduli space of curves of arbitrary…

We develop a spectral cut-off construction of real-time oscillatory integrals associated with non-autonomous Hamiltonian evolution equations. Let \(H_0\) be a positive self-adjoint reference operator on a Hilbert space \(\Hilb\), and let…
