Mirror symmetry originally envisions a correspondence between deformations of the A-side and deformations of the B-side. In this paper, we achieve an explicit correspondence in the case of punctured surfaces. The starting point is the…

A similarity structure on a connected manifold M is a Riemannian metric on its universal cover such that the fundamental group of M acts by similarities. If the manifold M is compact, we show that the universal cover admits a de Rham…

We compute the Hochschild and negative cyclic homology of the nodal curves, and we show that the (noncommutative) Hodge to de Rham spectral sequence degenerates at the second page. We also classify all the Hochschild classes that can be…

The Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class (CSM) and the Segre-Schwartz-MacPherson class (SSM) are deformations of the fundamental class of an algebraic variety. They encode finer enumerative invariants of the variety than its fundamental class.…

We study various orientifold projections of 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ toric gauge theories, associated with CY singularities known as $L^{a,b,a}/\mathbb{Z}_2$, with $a+b$ even. We obtain superconformal chiral theories that have the same central…

In this survey on local additive invariants of real and complex definable singular germs we systematically present classical or more recent invariants of different nature as emerging from a tame degeneracy principle. For this goal, we…

In this survey, I suggest to approach the problem of functorial properties of quantum cohomology by drawing lessons from several versions of Mirror duality involving deformation spaces.

In this paper, we prove that the naive deformation problem of an $\mathbb{E}_n$-monoidal stable $k$-linear $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$ is a $2$-proximate formal $\mathbb{E}_{n+2}$-moduli problem, whose corresponding formal moduli…

The class of the hypercomplex pseudo-Hermitian manifolds is considered. The flatness of the considered manifolds with the 3 parallel complex structures is proved. Conformal transformations of the metrics are introduced. The conformal…

We shall show how to decompose, by functorial and canonical fibrations, arbitrary $n$-dimensional complex projective {Although the geometric results apply to compact K\" ahler manifolds without change, we consider here for simplicity this…

In this article, we study deformations of conjugate self-dual Galois representations. The study has two folds. First, we prove an R=T type theorem for a conjugate self-dual Galois representation with coefficients in a finite field,…

The moduli space $\bar{M}_S^\sigma(R)$ parameterizes the isomorphism classes of $S$-pointed stable real curves of genus zero which are invariant under relabeling by the involution $\sigma$. This moduli space is stratified according to the…

Motivic equivalence for algebraic groups was recently introduced in [9], where a characterization of motivic equivalent groups in terms of higher Tits indexes is given. As a consequence, if the quadrics associated to two quadratic forms…

This paper is devoted to a deep analysis of the process known as Cheeger deformation, applied to manifolds with isometric group actions. Here, we provide new curvature estimates near singular orbits and present several applications. As the…

We introduce the notion of cyclic cohomology of an A-infinity algebra and show that the deformations of an A-infinity algebra which preserve an invariant inner product are classified by this cohomology. We use this result to construct some…

We start studying chiral algebras (as defined by A. Beilinson and V. Drinfeld) from the point of view of deformation theory. First, we define the notion of deformation of a chiral algebra on a smooth curve $X$ over a bundle of local…

Consider the functor describing deformations of a representation of the fundamental group of a variety X. This paper is chiefly concerned with establishing an analogue in finite characteristic of a result proved by Goldman and Millson for…

We study the homology of simplicial and cubical sets with symmetries. These are simplicial and cubical sets with additional maps expressing the symmetries of simplices and cubes. We consider the chain complex computing the homology groups…

We give a formulation of a deformation of Dirac operator along orbits of a group action on a possibly non-compact manifold to get an equivariant index and a K-homology cycle representing the index. We apply this framework to non-compact…

We provide an equivariant description/classification of all complete (compact or not) non-negatively curved manifolds M together with a co-compact action by a reflection group W, and moreover, classify such W. In particular, we show that…
