We study topological boundary conditions in abelian Chern-Simons theory and line operators confined to such boundaries. From a mathematical point of view, their relationships are described by a certain 2-category associated to an even…
A detailed analysis of the wave-mode structure in a bend and its incorporation into a stable algorithm for calculation of the scattering matrix of the bend is presented. The calculations are based on the modal approach. The stability and…
Complex Chern-Simons bundles are line bundles with connection, originating in the study of quantization of moduli spaces of flat connections with complex gauge groups. In this paper we introduce and study these bundles in the families…
Since the breakthrough of twistronics a plethora of topological phenomena in two dimensions has appeared, specially relating topology and electronic correlations. These systems can be typically analyzed in terms of lattice models of…
We give a conceptual proof of the fact that the realisation of the degree zero part of the polylogarithm on abelian schemes in analytic Deligne cohomology can be described in terms of the Bismut-K\"ohler higher analytic torsion form of the…
The positive (negaive)-energy eigen vectors of the two by two Hamiltonian $H=\v{r}\cdot\vec{\s}$ where $\vec{\s}$ are the Pauli matrices and $\v{r}$ is a 3-vector, form a U(1) fiber bundle when $\v{r}$ sweeps over a manifold $\cM$ in the…
Following a suggestion made by J.-P. Demailly, for each $k\ge 1$, we endow, by an induction process, the $k$-th (anti)tautological line bundle $\mathcal O_{X_k}(1)$ of an arbitrary complex directed manifold $(X,V)$ with a natural smooth…
We discuss residue formulae that localize the first Chern class of a line bundle to the singular locus of a given holomorphic connection. As an application, we explain a proof for Brunella's conjecture about exceptional minimal sets of…
Bound and scattering states of a non-central extension of the three-dimensional Kepler-Coulomb Hamiltonian are worked out analytically within the framework of the potential groups of the problem, SO(7) for bound states and SO(6,1) for…
We introduce the concept of boundary degeneracy of topologically ordered states on a compact orientable spatial manifold with boundaries, and emphasize that the boundary degeneracy provides richer information than the bulk degeneracy.…
In this paper we propose a Hamiltonian approach to gapped topological phases on an open surface with boundary. Our setting is an extension of the Levin-Wen model to a 2d graph on the open surface, whose boundary is part of the graph. We…
The First and Second Representation Theorem for sign-indefinite quadratic forms are extended. We include new cases of unbounded forms associated with operators that do not necessarily have a spectral gap around zero. The kernel of the…
In this work, we study topological properties of surface bundles, with an emphasis on surface bundles with a spin structure. We develop a criterion to decide whether a given manifold bundle has a spin structure and specialize it to surface…
We construct Chern-Weil classes on infinite dimensional vector bundles with structure group contained in the algebra $\cl[\leq 0](M, E)$ of non-positive order classical pseudo-differential operators acting on a finite rank vector bundle $E$…
We formulate and establish a generalization of Koll\'ar's injectivity theorem for adjoint bundles twisted by suitable multiplier ideal sheaves. As applications, we generalize Koll\'ar's torsion-freeness, Koll\'ar's vanishing theorem, and a…
The Brill-Noether theory of curves plays a fundamental role in the theory of curves and their moduli and has been intensively studied since the 19th century. In contrast, Brill-Noether theory for higher dimensional varieties is less…
Representations of vertex operator algebras define sheaves of coinvariants and conformal blocks on moduli of stable pointed curves. Assuming certain finiteness and semisimplicity conditions, we prove that such sheaves satisfy the…

For a scattering problem of tight-binding Bloch electrons by a weak random surface potential, a generalized Levinson theorem is put forward showing the equality of the total density of surface states and the density of the total time delay.…
We study the homotopy aspects of the twisted Chern classes of torsion bundle gerbe modules. Using Sullivan's rational homotopy theory, we realize the twisted Chern classes at the level of classifying spaces. The construction suggests a…
