Graph manifolds form important classes of $3$-dimensional closed and orientable manifolds. For example, {\it Seifert} manifolds are graph manifolds where hyperbolic manifolds are not. In applying singularity theory of differentiable maps to…

An equivariant map queer Lie superalgebra is the Lie superalgebra of regular maps from an algebraic variety (or scheme) $X$ to a queer Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{q}$ that are equivariant with respect to the action of a finite group…

We define a group of relative differential K-characters associated with a smooth map between two smooth compact manifolds. We show that this group fits into a short exact sequence as in the non-relative case. Some secondary geometric…

We define a simplicial category called the category of derived manifolds. It contains the category of smooth manifolds as a full discrete subcategory, and it is closed under taking arbitrary intersections in a manifold. A derived manifold…

For any triple $(W,L,\rho)$, where W is a closed connected and oriented 3-manifold, L is a link in W and $\rho$ is a flat principal B-bundle over W (B is the Borel subgroup of $SL(2,\mc)$), one constructs a $\Dd$-scissors congruence class…

This work concerns the problem of relating characteristic numbers of one-dimensional holomorphic foliations of P^n to those of algebraic varieties invariant by them. More precisely: if M is a connected complex manifold, a one-dimensional…

The classical invariant theory for the queer Lie superalgebra is an investigation of the $\mathrm{U}(\mathfrak{q}_n)$-invariant sub-superalgebra of the symmetric superalgebra $\mathrm{Sym}(V^{\oplus r}\oplus V^{*\oplus s})$ for…

It is well known that a foliation F of a smooth manifold M gives rise to a rich cohomological theory, its characteristic (i.e., leafwise) cohomology. Characteristic cohomologies of F may be interpreted, to some extent, as functions on the…

Using face algebras (i.e. algebras of L-operators of IRF models), we construct modular tensor categories with positive definite inner product, whose fusion rules and S-matrices are the same as (or slightly different from) those obtained by…

We define a new invariant of quadratic Lie algebras and give a complete study and classification of singular quadratic Lie algebras, i.e. those for which the invariant does not vanish. The classification is related to…

Given a projective symplectic manifold $M$ and a non-singular hypersurface $X \subset M$, the symplectic form of $M$ induces a foliation of rank 1 on $X$, called the characteristic foliation. We study the question when the characteristic…

Mapping-class groups of 3-manifolds feature as symmetry groups in canonical quantum gravity. They are an obvious source through which topological information could be transmitted into the quantum theory. If treated as gauge symmetries,…

Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…

We study a certain family of finite-dimensional simple representations over quantum affine superalgebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras, the so-called fundamental representations: the denominators of rational $R$-matrices…

We introduce a new class of zero-dimensional weighted complete intersections, by abstracting the essential features of rational cohomology algebras of equal rank homogeneous spaces of compact connected Lie groups. We prove that, on a…

A quadratic Lie algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a symmetric, invariant and non degenerate bilinear form; such a bilinear form is called an invariant metric. The aim of this work is to describe the general structure of those central…

This article is a survey of recent work of the authors developing a new approach to quantization based on the equivariance with respect to some Lie group of symmetries. Examples are provided by conformal and projective differential…

The notion of $q$-deformed lattice gauge theory is introduced. If the deformation parameter is a root of unity, the weak coupling limit of a 3-$d$ partition function gives a topological invariant for a corresponding 3-manifold. It enables…

We show how DG categories arise naturally in noncommutative differential geometry and use them to derive noncommutative analogues of the Bianchi identities for the curvature of a connection. We also give a derivation of formulae for…

We define \textit{graded manifolds} as a version of supermanifolds endowed with an additional $\mathbb Z$-grading in the structure sheaf, called \textit{weight} (not linked with parity). Examples are ordinary supermanifolds, vector bundles…
