Thom polynomial describes the cohomology class Poincar\'e dual to the locus of particular singularity of a generic holomorphic map. In this paper we derive a closed formula for the generating function of its coefficients. The method is…
We define the notion of characteristic classes for supermanifolds endowed with a homological vector field $Q$. These take values in the cohomology of the Lie derivative operator $L_Q$ acting on arbitrary tensor fields. We formulate a…
Thom polynomials provide universal formulas for the fundamental class of singularity loci in terms of characteristic classes. Ohmoto extended this notion to SSM-Thom polynomials, which refine this description by capturing the richer…
This paper concerns constructing topological sigma models governing maps from semirigid super Riemann surfaces to general target supermanifolds. We define both the A model and B model in this general setup by defining suitable BRST…
We study a family of fermionic extensions of the Camassa-Holm equation. Within this family we identify three interesting classes: (a) equations, which are inherently hamiltonian, describing geodesic flow with respect to an H^1 metric on the…
For the de Rham mapping cone cochain complex induced by a smooth closed 2-form, we explicitly write down the associated mapping cone Thom form in the sense of Mathai-Quillen. Our construction uses the mapping cone covariant derivative,…
Let G be a compact Lie group. Let M be a smooth G-manifold and V --> M be an oriented G-equivariant vector bundle. One defines the spaces of equivariant forms with generalized coefficients on V and M. An equivariant Thom form $\theta$ on V…
We begin with the construction of Mathai-Quillen's Thom form. We also study the case with group actions, with a review of equivariant cohomology and then Mathai-Quillen's construction in this setting. Next, we show that much of the above…
In a previous paper, we developed general techniques for constructing a variety of pseudo-collars, as defined by Guilbault and Tinsley, with roots in earlier work by Chapman and Siebenmann. As an application of our techniques, we exhibited…
We enumerate complex algebraic hypersurfaces in $P^n$, of a given (high) degree with one singular point of a given singularity type. Our approach is to compute the (co)homology classes of the corresponding equi-singular strata in the…
In view of applications to the construction of moduli spaces of objects in algebraic supergeometry, we start a systematic study of stacks in that context. After defining a superstack as a stack over the \'etale site of superschemes, we…
We examine the five-dimensional super-de Rham complex with $N = 1$ supersymmetry. The elements of this complex are presented explicitly and related to those of the six-dimensional complex in $N = (1, 0)$ superspace through a specific notion…
In addition to superconformal symmetry, (1,1) supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma models on special holonomy manifolds have extra symmetries that are in one-to-one correspondence with the covariantly constant forms on these manifolds. The…
The invariant integration method for Chern-Simons theory for gauge group SU(2) and manifold \Gamma\H^3 is verified in the semiclassical approximation. The semiclassical limit for the partition function associated with a connected sum of…
We apply mirror symmetry to the super Calabi-Yau manifold CP^{(n|n+1)} and show that the mirror can be recast in a form which depends only on the superdimension and which is reminiscent of a generalized conifold. We discuss its geometrical…
In arXiv:1905.07734 we presented a construction that is an analogue of Pontryagin's for proper maps in stable dimensions. This gives a bijection between the cobordism set of framed embedded compact submanifolds in $W\times\mathbb{R}^n$ for…
The polytopic definition introduced recently describing the topology of manifolds is used to formulate a generating function pertinent to its topological properties. In particular, a polynomial in terms of one variable and a tori underlying…
We introduce a new notion, called quasi-holomorphic maps. These are real smooth maps equipped with a structure that imitates the singularities and singularity stratifications of holomorphic maps on the source and target manifolds, although…
We argue that modular classes of Q-manifolds provide an efficient method for addressing the existence of supersymmetric Berezin volumes in the supergeometric representation theory of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ $d=1$ supertranslation algebra. We…
In this paper we prove that the two dimensional superintegrable systems with quadratic integrals of motion on a manifold can be classified by using the Poisson algebra of the integrals of motion. There are six general fundamental classes of…
