For a given list of closed manifolds $\Sigma_k=(P_1,...,P_k)$, we construct a cobordism category $\mathbf{Cob}_{d}^{\Sigma_{k}}$ of embedded manifolds with Baas-Sullivan singularities of type $\Sigma_k$. Our main results identify the…
In this survey paper on commutative ring spectra we present some basic features of commutative ring spectra and discuss model category structures. As a first interesting class of examples of such ring spectra we focus on (commutative)…
In this paper we give local and global parametric classifications of a class of Einstein submanifolds of Euclidean space. The highlight is for submanifolds of codimension two since in this case our assumptions are only of intrinsic nature.
Given any category $\mathcal{C}$ with pullbacks and a terminal object, we show that the data consisting of the objects of $\mathcal{C}$, the spans of $\mathcal{C}$, and the isomorphism classes of spans of spans of $\mathcal{C}$, forms a…
We prove that a finite braided tensor category A is invertible in the Morita 4-category BrTens of braided tensor categories if, and only if, it is non-degenerate. This includes the case of semisimple modular tensor categories, but also…
The group of bordism classes of unoriented surfaces in 4-space is determined. The bordism classes are characterized by normal Euler numbers,double linking numbers, and triple linking numbers.
Starting from the quantum group SL_q(2,C), we construct operator invariants of 3-cobordisms with spin structure, satisfying the requirements of a topological quantum field theory and refining the Reshetikhin--Turaev and Turaev--Viro models.…
We introduce two classes of right quaternionic Hilbert spaces in the context of slice polyregular functions, generalizing the so-called slice and full hyperholomorphic Bargmann spaces. Their basic properties are discussed, the explicit…
In [1] we introduced the concept of structured space, which is a topological space that locally resembles some algebraic structures. In [2] we proceeded the study of these spaces, developing two cohomology theories. The aim of this paper is…
Let T be a tilting object in a triangulated category equivalent to the bounded derived category of a hereditary abelian category with finite dimensional homomorphism spaces and split idempotents. This text investigates the strong global…
We define bicategories internal to 2-categories. When the ambient 2-category is symmetric monoidal categories, this provides a convenient framework for encoding the structures of a symmetric monoidal 3-category. This framework is well…
Classification, up to isomorphism, of algebras from a non-empty subset of the variety of $n$- dimensional algebras is presented. It is shown that these algebras have only trivial automorphism and if the basic field is algebraically closed…
The symmetry algebra of massless fields living on the 3-dimensional conformal boundary of AdS(4) is shown to be isomorphic to 3d conformal higher spin algebra (AdS(4) higher spin algebra). A simple realization of this algebra on the free…
Let M be a real Bott manifold with K\"{a}hler structure. Using Ishida characterization we give necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the Spin-structure on M. In proof we use the technic developed in Popko, Szczepa\'{n}ski…
The U-dualities of maximally supersymmetric non-chiral supergravity (SUGRA) theories lead to strong constraints on the non-perturbative structure of quantum gravity. In this paper we determine Spin- and Pin-lifts of these dualities, which…
We consider type II superstring compactifications on the singular Spin(7) manifold constructed as a cone on SU(3)/U(1). Based on a toric realization of the projective space CP^2, we discuss how the manifold can be viewed as three…
This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…
We give a formula for the parity of the Maslov index of a triple of Lagrangian subspaces of a skew symmetric bilinear form over the real numbers. We define an index two subcategory (the even subcategory) of a 3-dimensional cobordism…
As an example of the categorical apparatus of pseudo algebras over 2-theories, we show that pseudo algebras over the 2-theory of categories can be viewed as pseudo double categories with folding or as appropriate 2-functors into…
Galatius, Madsen, Tillmann and Weiss have identified the homotopy type of the classifying space of the cobordism category with objects (d-1)-dimensional manifolds embedded in R^\infty. In this paper we apply the techniques of spaces of…
