In a series of papers we have been studying the geometric theta correspondence for non-compact arithmetic quotients of symmetric spaces associated to orthogonal groups. It is our overall goal to develop a general theory of geometric theta…

The notion of global higher-form symmetries has received much attention, but leaves room for a more systematic mathematical formulation. In this article, we highlight the concept of higher automorphism bundles from the field of higher…

A new formalism for spinors on curved spaces is developed in the framework of variational calculus on fibre bundles. The theory has the same structure of a gauge theory and describes the interaction between the gravitational field and…

Imposing additional constraints on low-rank optimization has garnered growing interest. However, the geometry of coupled constraints hampers the well-developed low-rank structure and makes the problem intricate. To this end, we propose a…

Let $M$ be a closed complex submanifold in ${\mathbb C}^N$ with the complete K\"ahler metric induced by the Euclidean metric. Several finiteness theorems on the $L^p$ Bergman space of holomorphic sections of a given Hermitian line bundle…

Lifting supersymmetric quantum mechanics to loop space yields the superstring. A particle charged under a fiber bundle thereby turns into a string charged under a 2-bundle, or gerbe. This stringification is nothing but categorification. We…

We show how to lift positive Ricci and almost non-negative curvatures from an orbit space $M/G$ to the corresponding $G$-manifold, $M$. We apply the results to get new examples of Riemannian manifolds that satisfy both curvature conditions…

In this article we study commutant lifting, more generally intertwining lifting, for different reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces over two domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$, namely the unit ball and the unit polydisc. The reproducing kernel Hilbert…

Here we survey several results and conjectures on the cohomology of the total space of the Hitchin system: the moduli space of semi-stable rank n and degree d Higgs bundles on a complex algebraic curve C. The picture emerging is a dynamic…

The configuration space of a mechanical linkage, consisting of rigid bodies moving in space constrained by joints, is defined by algebraic conditions. If these equations do not define a complete intersection, then the dimension of the…

We develop the theory of Chern-Simons bundle 2-gerbes and multiplicative bundle gerbes associated to any principal $G$-bundle with connection and a class in $H^4(BG, \ZZ)$ for a compact semi-simple Lie group $G$. The Chern-Simons bundle…

$\lambda$-self-expanders $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ are the solutions of the isoperimetric problem with respect to the same weighted area form as in the study of the self-expanders. In this paper, we mainly extend the results on…

We introduce and study a generalization of the classical weighted Bergman and Dirichlet spaces on the unit ball in high dimension, the Bergman-Dirichlet spaces. Their counterparts on the whole $n$-complex space, the Bargmann-Dirichlet…

This paper reviews recent work on a new geometric object called a bundle gerbe and discusses some new examples arising in quantum field theory. One application is to an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theory construction of the bundle of…

This article develops a unified and intrinsic framework for the theory of Sobolev spaces on vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds. The analytical core of our approach is an explicit higher-order geometric integration by parts formula,…

Roundness of metric spaces was introduced by Per Enflo as a tool to study uniform structures of linear topological spaces. The present paper investigates geometric and topological properties detected by the roundness of general metric…

An explicit construction of a pre-quantum line bundle for the moduli space of flat G-bundles over a Riemann surface is given, where G is any non-simply connected compact simple Lie group. This work helps to explain a curious coincidence…

While higher bundles are of clear relevance to higher gauge theory, examples other than abelian bundle gerbes are hard to come across. One would in particular like to see 2-bundles where the structure 2-group is the String 2-group…

We consider partial liftings of maps at fibrations and compare the primary obstruction to extend the lifting with the obstruction to extend the lifting as a simple map into the total space. A relation between these two obstructions is…

The general construction of self-adjoint configuration space representations of the Heisenberg algebra over an arbitrary manifold is considered. All such inequivalent representations are parametrised in terms of the topology classes of flat…
