Let $G_{n,k}$ denote the real Grassmann manifold of $k$-dimensional vector subspaces of $\mathbb R^n$. Using the Hodgkin spectral sequence, we compute the complex $K$-ring of $G_{n,k}$, up to a small indeterminacy, for all values of $n,k$…

Let $k,l,m,n$ be positive integers such that $m-l\ge l>k, m-l>n-k\ge k$ and $m-l>2k^2-k-1$. Let $G_{k}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ denote the Grassmann manifold of $k$-dimensional vector subspaces of $\bc^n$. We show that any continuous map…

Gopakumar-Vafa large N duality is a correspondence between Chern-Simons invariants of a link in a 3-manifold and relative Gromov-Witten invariants of a 6-dimensional symplectic manifold relative to a Lagrangian submanifold. We address the…

We introduce bi-parametric fractional integrals of the Erdelyi-Kober type that generalize known Garding-Gindikin constructions associated to the cone of positive definite matrices. It is proved that the Radon transform, which maps a zonal…

We consider a homogeneous fibration $G/L \to G/K$, with symmetric fiber and base, where $G$ is a compact connected semisimple Lie group and $L$ has maximal rank in $G$. We suppose the base space $G/K$ is isotropy irreducible and the fiber…

Let $ m, n $ be integers such that $ \frac{n}{2} > m \geq 1 $ and let $ (M, g) $ be a closed $ n-$dimensional Riemannian manifold. We prove there exists some $ B \in \mathbb{R} $ depending only on $ (M, g) $, $ m $, and $ n $ such that for…

We give an equivalent expression for the $K$-functional associated to the pair of operator spaces $(R,C)$ formed by the rows and columns respectively. This yields a description of the real interpolation spaces for the pair $(M_n(R),…

I discuss some aspects of the moduli space of hyper-K{\"a}hler four-fold compactifications of type II and ${\cal M}$- theories. The dimension of the moduli space of these theories is strictly bounded from above. As an example I study…

Let $M$ and $N$ be smooth (real or complex) manifolds, and let $M$ be equipped with some Riemannian metric. A continuous map $f\colon M\longrightarrow N$ admits a local $k$-multiplicity if, for every real number $\omega >0$, there exist $k$…

We study the topological-antitopological fusion equations for supersymmetric sigma models on Grassmannian manifolds G(k,N). We find a basis in which the metric becomes diagonal and the $tt^*$ equations become tractable. The solution for the…

Given a smooth free action of a compact connected Lie group $G$ on a smooth compact manifold $M$, we show that the space of $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $M$ whose automorphism group is precisely $G$ is open dense in the space of all…

Let $R$ be a semiartinian (von Neumann) regular ring with primitive factors artinian. The dimension sequence $\mathcal D _R$ is an invariant that captures the various skew-fields and dimensions occurring in the layers of the socle sequence…

The condition of nilpotency is studied in the general linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{n}(\mathbb{K})$ and the symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}_{2m}(\mathbb{K})$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. In particular,…

We investigate the second principal term in the expansion of metrics $c(n)t^{(n+2)/2}g_t$ induced by heat kernel embedding into $L^2$ on a compact $RCD(K, N)$ space. We prove that the divergence free property of this term in the weak,…

For a pair $(G,N)$ of a group $G$ and its normal subgroup $N$, we consider the space of quasimorphisms and quasi-cocycles on $N$ non-extendable to $G$. To treat this space, we establish the five-term exact sequence of cohomology relative to…

The ring of symmetric functions can be implemented in the homology of \union_{a,b} Gr(a,a+b), the multiplicative structure being defined from the "direct sum" map. There is a natural circle action (simultaneously on all Grassmannians) under…

It is known that the partition function and correlators of the two-dimensional topological field theory $G_K(N)/ G_K(N)$ on the Riemann surface $\Sigma_{g,s}$ is given by Verlinde numbers, dim($V_{g,s,K}$) and that the large $K$ limit of…
