A definition of space-time metric deformations on an $n$-dimensional manifold is given. We show that such deformations can be regarded as extended conformal transformations. In particular, their features can be related to the perturbation…
In this article we study the deformation of finite maps and show how to use this deformation theory to construct varieties with given invariants in a projective space. Among other things, we prove a criterion that determines when a finite…
We construct a generalized Witten genus for spin$^c$ manifolds, which takes values in level 1 modular forms with integral Fourier expansion on a class of spin$^c$ manifolds called string$^c$ manifolds. We also construct a mod 2 analogue of…
Extensions of the generalized Weierstrass representation to generic surfaces in 4D Euclidean and pseudo-Euclidean spaces are given. Geometric characteristics of surfaces are calculated. It is shown that integrable deformations of such…
In this note, we use the disformal transformation to induce a geometry from the manifold which is originally Riemannian. The new geometry obtained here can be considered as a generalization of Weyl integrable geometry. Based on these…
We develop a new method for decomposing Witten diagrams into conformal blocks. The steps involved are elementary, requiring no explicit integration, and operate directly in position space. Central to this construction is an appealingly…
In bounding the homology of a manifold, Forman's Discrete Morse theory recovers the full precision of classical Morse theory: Given a PL triangulation of a manifold that admits a Morse function with c_i critical points of index i, we show…
Motivated by the cubic forms and anomaly cancellation formulas of Witten-Freed-Hopkins, we give some new cubic forms on spin, spin$^c$, spin$^{w_2}$ and orientable 12-manifolds respectively. We relate them to $\eta$-invariants when the…
We show how an operation of inf-convolution can be used to approximate convex functions with $C^{1}$ smooth convex functions on Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature (in a manner that not only is explicit but also preserves some…
The aim of this paper is to develop on the 1-jet space J^1(R, M^n) the Finsler-like geometry (in the sense of distinguished (d-) connection, d-torsions, d-curvatures and some gravitational-like and electromagnetic-like geometrical models)…
Certain objects of conformal field theory, for example partition functions on the rectangle and the torus, and one-point functions on the torus, are either invariant or transform simply under the modular group, properties which should be…
We use certain Morse functions to construct conformal metrics with negative sectional curvature on locally conformally flat manifolds with boundary. Moreover, without conformally flatness assumption, we also construct conformal metric of…
In this paper, we consider deformations of singular complex curves on complex surfaces. Despite the fundamental nature of the problem, little seems to be known for curves on general surfaces. Let $C\subset S$ be a complete integral curve on…
The goal of this paper is to generalize Demailly's asymptotic holomorphic Morse inequalities to the case of a covering manifold of a compact manifold. We shall obtain estimates which involve Atiyah's ``normalized dimension'' of the square…
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…
We study perfect discrete Morse functions on closed oriented n-dimensional manifolds. We show how to compose such functions on connected sums of closed oriented manifolds and how to decompose on connected sums of closed oriented surfaces.
For a possibly singular subset of a regular Poisson manifold we construct a deformation quantization of its algebra of Whitney functions. We then extend the construction of a deformation quantization to the case where the underlying set is…
