We consider actions of a tileable amenable group $\Gamma$ on a topological space $X$. For a continuous function on $X$, we define the entropy of the number of homologically detectable critical point of the average of that function over…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple Lie group and ${G}_{\mathbb R}$ a real form that contains a compact Cartan subgroup $T_{\mathbb R}$. Let $\pi$ be a discrete series representation of $G_{\mathbb R}$. We present geometric interpretations in…

In this work, we only use data on the unstable manifold to locate the partition boundaries by checking folding points at different levels, which practically coincide with homoclinic tangencies (HTs). The method is then applied to the…

We prove the existence of at least $cl(M)$ periodic orbits for certain time dependant Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of an arbitrary compact manifold $M$. These Hamiltonians are not necessarily convex but they satisfy a certain…

In this article, we study quantum critical phenomena in surfaces of symmetry-protected topological matter, i.e. surface topological quantum criticality. A generic phase boundary of gapless surfaces in a symmetry-protected state shall be a…

We show that a generic Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on a closed symplectic manifold which is symplectically aspherical has at least the stable Morse number of fixed points - this is in line with a conjecture by Arnold.

Let $M$ be complex projective manifold, and $A$ a positive line bundle on it. Assume that a compact and connected Lie group $G$ acts on $M$ in a Hamiltonian manner, and that this action linearizes to $A$. Then there is an associated unitary…

Let $R$ be a constant. Let $\mathcal{M}^R_\gamma$ be the space of smooth metrics $g$ on a given compact manifold $\Omega^n$ ($n\ge 3$) with smooth boundary $\Sigma $ such that $g$ has constant scalar curvature $R$ and $g|_{\Sigma}$ is a…

Quantum mechanics ordinarily describes particles as being pointlike, in the sense that the uncertainty $\Delta x$ can, in principle, be made arbitrarily small. It has been shown that suitable correction terms to the canonical commutation…

Let $\mathbb{P}$ denote the set of primes and $\mathcal{N}\subset \mathbb{N}$ be a set with arbitrary weights attached to its elements. Set $\mathfrak{p}_{\mathcal{N}}(n)$ to be the restricted partition function which counts partitions of…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a symplectic manifold, $N\subseteq M$ a coisotropic submanifold, and $\Sigma$ a compact oriented (real) surface. I define a natural Maslov index for each continuous map $u:\Sigma\to M$ that sends every connected…

Any compact manifold with positive scalar curvature has an associated asymptotically flat metric constructed using the Green's function of the conformal Laplacian, and the mass of this metric is an important geometric invariant. An explicit…

In this paper we prove some rigidity theorems associated to $Q$-curvature analysis on asymptotically Euclidean (AE) manifolds, which are inspired by the analysis of conservation principles within fourth order gravitational theories. A…

Let $(X,\dist)$ be a complete metric space and let $C\subseteq X$ be a closed invariant set. We study fixed points of maps $T\colon C\to C$ governed by a \emph{verifiable} contractive modulus. The modulus is encoded by a contractive gauge…

We show that the main theorem of Morse theory holds for a large class of functions on singular spaces. The function must satisfy certain conditions extending the usual requirements on a manifold that Condition C holds and the gradient flow…

The aim of this article is to study the functorial properties of the ``formal geometric quantization'' procedure which is defined for non-compact Hamiltonian manifolds (when the moment map is proper). For this purpose, we introduce a…

We compute the exact thermal partition functions of a massive scalar field on flat spacetime backgrounds of the form $\mathbb R^{d-q}\times \mathbb T^{q+1}$ and show that they possess an ${\rm SL}(q+1,\mathbb Z)$ symmetry. Non-trivial…

In an earlier article we introduced a new definition for the `quantization' of a Hamiltonian loop group space $\mathcal{M}$, involving the equivariant $L^2$-index of a Dirac-type operator $\mathscr{D}$ on a non-compact finite dimensional…

The central purpose of this article is to establish new inverse and implicit function theorems for differentiable maps with isolated critical points. One of the key ingredients is a discovery of the fact that differentiable maps with…

Let $P$ be a simple polytope of dimension $n$ with $m$ facets and $P_{v}$ be a polytope obtained from $P$ by cutting off one vertex $v$. Let $Z=Z(P)$ and $Z_{v}=Z(P_{v})$ be the corresponding moment-angle manifolds. In \cite{[GL]} S.Gitler…
