The classical theory of elliptic curves with complex multiplication is a fundamental tool for studying the arithmetic of abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields. While no direct analogue is available for real quadratic fields, a…
We obtain exact rotating membrane solutions and explicit expressions for the conserved charges on a manifold with exactly known metric of G_2 holonomy in M-theory, with four dimensional N=1 field theory dual. After that, we investigate…
Let $M$ be a closed, oriented manifold of dimension $d$. Let $LM$ be the space of smooth loops in $M$. Chas and Sullivan recently defined a product on the homology $H_*(LM)$ of degree $-d$. They then investigated other structure that this…
The complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes in $\mathbb C^n$ has a natural bordification to a manifold with corners formed by removing (or "blowing up") tubular neighborhoods of the hyperplanes and certain of their intersections. When…
We use stratified Morse theory to construct a complex to compute the cohomology of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement with coefficients in a complex rank one local system. The linearization of this complex is shown to be the…
We study fibred spaces with fibres in a structure category $\V$ and we show that cellular approximation, Blakers--Massey theorem, Whitehead theorems, obstruction theory, Hurewicz homomorphism, Wall finiteness obstruction, and Whitehead…
It is proved, that if M is a connected, complete submanifold of a complex space form N and each geodesic of M lies in an 1-dimensional totally geodesic complex submanifold of N, then M is totally geodesic in N and is a real space form or a…
We obtain the Hamiltonian formulation of the 11D Supermembrane theory non-trivially compactified on a twice-punctured torus times a 9D Minkowski space-time. It corresponds to a M2-brane formulated in 11D space with ten non-compact…
Using D2-brane probes, we study various properties of M-theory on singular, non-compact manifolds of G_2 and Spin(7) holonomy. We derive mirror pairs of N=1 supersymmetric three-dimensional gauge theories, and apply this technique to…
In the first part of this paper, we consider, in the context of an arbitrary hyperplane arrangement, the map between compactly supported cohomology to the usual cohomology of a local system. A formula (i.e., an explicit algebraic de Rham…
In this work, we develop a new theory of multivariate V-filtration on D-modules along a simple normal crossing divisor and relate it with Sabbah's multi-filtration. We establish several new structural results and relate them with the Hodge…
The Hirzebruch-Milnor class is given by the difference between the homology Hirzebruch characteristic class and the virtual one. It is known that the Hirzebruch-Milnor class for a certain singular hypersurface can be calculated by using the…
We give a direct proof of a result due to Karasev (2008), Karasev-Matschke (2014) and Schnider-Sober\'on (2023). Given $m+1$ Borel probability measures on the space of affine hyperplanes in a real vector space $V$ of dimension $m+1$, there…
The loop homology of a closed orientable manifold $M$ of dimension $d$ is the ordinary homology of the free loop space $M^{S^1}$ with degrees shifted by $d$, i.e. $\mathbb H_*(M^{S^1}) = H_{*+d}(M^{S^1})$. Chas and Sullivan have defined a…
We give a reinterpretation of the matrix theory discussed by Moore, Nekrasov and Shatashivili (MNS) in terms of the second quantized operators which describes the homology class of the Hilbert scheme of points on surfaces. It naturally…
We study a general class of supersymmetric AdS_4 x Y_7 solutions of M-theory that have large N dual descriptions as N = 2 Chern-Simons-matter theories on S^3. The Hamiltonian function h_M for the M-theory circle, with respect to a certain…
Covering spaces are a fundamental tool in algebraic topology because of the close relationship they bear with the fundamental groups of spaces. Indeed, they are in correspondence with the subgroups of the fundamental group: this is known as…
We show that if a complex has free finitely generated reduced homology groups for two consecutive dimensions and trivial homology for all other dimensions, then it must have the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres of two consecutive…
Given a real arrangement $A$, the complement $M(A)$ of the complexification of $A$ admits an action of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ by complex conjugation. We define the equivariant Orlik-Solomon algebra of $A$ to be the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-equivariant…
