Let $R$ be a commutative ring that is free of rank $k$ as an abelian group, $p$ a prime, and $SL(n,R)$ the special linear group. We show that the Lie algebra associated to the filtration of $SL(n,R)$ by $p$-congruence subgroups is…

We consider non-orientable closed surfaces of minimum crosscap number in the $(p,q)$-lens space $L(p,q) \cong V_1 \cup_{\partial} V_2$, where $V_1$ and $V_2$ are solid tori. Bredon and Wood gave a formula for calculating the minimum…

In case of the heat flow on the free loop space of a closed Riemannian manifold non-triviality of Morse homology for semi-flows is established by constructing a natural isomorphism to singular homology of the loop space. The construction is…

First steps towards a classification of irreducible symplectic 4-folds whose integral 2-cohomology with 4-tuple cup product is isomorphic to that of Hilb^2(K3). We prove that any such 4-fold deforms to an irreducible symplectic 4-fold of…

Throughout this paper, we comprehensively study instantons with every kind of continuous conformal symmetry. Examples of these objects are hard to come by due to non-linear constraints. However, by applying previous work on moduli spaces,…

Building on the work of Nozaki, Sato and Taniguchi, we develop an instanton-theoretic invariant aimed at studying strong corks and equivariant bounding. Our construction utilizes the Chern-Simons filtration and is qualitatively different…

We associate several invariants to a knot in an integer homology 3-sphere using $SU(2)$ singular instanton gauge theory. There is a space of framed singular connections for such a knot, equipped with a circle action and an equivariant…

In this letter we demonstrate that the intersection form of the Hausel--Hunsicker--Mazzeo compactification of a four dimensional ALF gravitational instanton is definite and diagonalizable over the integers if one of the Kahler forms of the…

We define a 1-parameter family of homology invariants for links in thickened oriented surfaces. It recovers the homology invariant of Asaeda-Przytycki-Sikora (arxiv:0409414) and the invariant defined by Winkeler (arxiv:2106.03834). The new…

We construct an example of a Peano continuum $X$ such that: (i) $X$ is a one-point compactification of a polyhedron; (ii) $X$ is weakly homotopy equivalent to a point (i.e. $\pi_n(X)$ is trivial for all $n \geq 0$); (iii) $X$ is…

We introduce an extra filtration of $\CFK(Y,K)$ and use it in order to obtain formulas for Floer homology of $(Y,K)$, which is obtained from $(Y_i,K_i), i=1,2$ by gluing the knot complements on the framed torus boundaries.

This article provides the first extension of Lagrangian Intersection Floer cohomology to Poisson structures which are almost everywhere symplectic, but degenerate on a lowerdimensional submanifold. The main result of the article is the…

Let (M,w) be a compact symplectic manifold, and L a compact, embedded Lagrangian submanifold in M. Fukaya, Oh, Ohta and Ono construct Lagrangian Floer cohomology for such M,L, yielding groups HF^*(L,b;\Lambda) for one Lagrangian or…

We construct infinite families of non-simply connected locally conformally flat (LCF) 4-manifolds realizing rich topological types. These manifolds have strictly negative scalar curvature and the underlying topological 4-manifolds do not…

We develop the gluing theory of contact instantons in the context of open strings and in the context of closed strings \emph{with vanishing charge}, for example in the symplectization context. This is one of the key ingredients for the…

This article is a standalone introduction to sutured Floer homology for graduate students in geometry and topology. It is divided into three parts. The first part is an introductory level exposition of Lagrangian Floer homology. The second…

We study, by means of mirror symmetry, the quantum geometry of the K\"ahler-class parameters of a number of Calabi-Yau manifolds that have $b_{11}=2$. Our main interest lies in the structure of the moduli space and in the loci corresponding…

Sutured Floer homology, denoted by SFH, is an invariant of balanced sutured manifolds previously defined by the author. In this paper we give a formula that shows how this invariant changes under surface decompositions. In particular, if…

We establish two spectral sequences in knot Floer homology associated to a directed strongly invertible knot K: one from the knot Floer homology of K to a two dimensional vector space, and one from the singular knot Floer homology of a…

Let X be the Fermat quintic threefold. The set of real solutions L forms a Lagrangian submanifold of X. Multiplying the homogeneous coordinates of X by various fifth roots of unity gives automorphisms of X; the images of L under these…
