We produce group structures on certain sets of topological vector bundles of fixed rank. In particular, we put a group structure on complex rank $2$ bundles on $\mathbb{C}P^3$ with fixed first Chern class. We show that this binary operation…
We construct a novel higher-spin theory of gravity in 2+1 spacetime dimensions. The construction is based on a higher-spin super-algebra extending the Poincare group. Our algebra accommodates all integer and half-integer spins from 1 to…
We introduce an equivariant Pontrjagin-Thom construction which identifies equivariant cohomotopy classes with certain fixed point bordism classes. This provides a concrete geometric model for equivariant cohomotopy which works for any…
In a earlier work of Claire Debord and the author, a notion of noncommutative tangent space isdefined for a conical pseudomanifold and the Poincar\'e duality in $K$-theory is proved between this space and the pseudomanifold. The present…
We use braided groups to introduce a theory of $*$-structures on general inhomogeneous quantum groups, which we formulate as {\em quasi-$*$} Hopf algebras. This allows the construction of the tensor product of unitary representations up to…
We construct families of TQFT's over the finite field Z/pZ starting from an integral TQFT obtained by Frohman and Nicas. These TQFT's are likely to describe the constant order contributions of the cyclotomic integer expansions of the…
We develop new algebraic methods refining the Witt group of linking forms and Ranicki's torsion algebraic L-groups into double Witt groups and double L-groups. At each prime ideal of the underlying ring, our double Witt groups capture…
We present a state sum construction of two-dimensional extended Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs), so-called open-closed TQFTs, which generalizes the state sum of Fukuma--Hosono--Kawai from triangulations of conventional…
Categories, n-categories, double categories, and multicategories (among others) all have similar definitions as collections of cells with composition operations. We give an explicit description of the information required to define any…
We show that the Poincar\'e lemma we proved elsewhere in the context of crystalline cohomology of higher level behaves well with regard to the Hodge filtration. This allows us to prove the Poincar\'e lemma for transversal crystals of level…
The notion of 2-framed three-manifolds is defined. The category of 2-framed cobordisms is described, and used to define a 2-framed three-dimensional TQFT. Using skeletonization and special features of this category, a small set of data and…
In this paper we investigate the problem of constructing Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) to quantize algebraic invariants. We exhibit necessary conditions for quantizability based on Euler characteristics. In the case of…
Using the theory of measurable categories developped by Yetter in work in preparation, we provide a notion of representations of 2-groups more well-suited to physically and geometrically interesting examples than that proposed in…
The simplices and the complexes arsing form the grading of the fundamental (desymmetrized) domain of arithmetical groups and non-arithmetical groups, as well as their extended (symmetrized) ones are described also for oriented manifolds in…
We briefly describe the importance of division algebras and Poincar\'e conjecture in both mathematical and physical scenarios. Mathematically, we argue that using the torsion concept one can combine the formalisms of division algebras and…
This is mainly a lecture note taken by myself following Weinberg's book, but also contains some corrections to the abuse of mathematical treatment. This article discusses projective unitary representations of Poincare group on the single…
In these lectures we study some possible higher order (of degree greater than two) extensions of the Poincar\'e algebra. We first give some general properties of Lie superalgebras with some emphasis on the supersymmetric extension of the…
These notes are an introduction to symplectic groupoids and the double structures associated with them. The treatment is intended to lie about midway between the original account of Coste, Dazord and Weinstein, which relied on effective use…
Two particles, described by an irreducible two-particle representation of the Poincar\'e group, are correlated by the constraints that the constancy of the Casimir operators imposes on the state space. This correlation can be understood as…
The theory of a two-valued algebraic group structure on a complex plane and complex projective line is developed. In this theory, depending on the choice of the neutral element, the local multiplication law is given by the Buchstaber…
