We study consequences and applications of the folklore statement that every double complex over a field decomposes into so-called squares and zigzags. This result makes questions about the associated cohomology groups and spectral sequences…

We show that a topological symplectic manifold has a canonically associated bi-Lipschitz structure. As a corollary, we obtain the first examples of non-existence and non-uniqueness for topological symplectic structures. Our arguments hold…

We will prove a Moser-type theorem for self-dual harmonic 2-forms on closed 4-manifolds, and use it to classify local forms on neighborhoods of singular circles on which the 2-form vanishes. Removing neighborhoods of the circles, we obtain…

Floquet topological systems have been shown to exhibit features not commonly found in conventional topological systems such as topological phases characterized by arbitrarily large winding numbers. This is clearly highlighted in the quantum…

Categorifying the concept of topological group, one obtains the notion of a 'topological 2-group'. This in turn allows a theory of 'principal 2-bundles' generalizing the usual theory of principal bundles. It is well-known that under mild…

We construct Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs) for continuous subsystem symmetries, which are inherently non-Lorentz-invariant. Our framework produces dual bulk descriptions -- gapped foliated and exotic SymTFTs -- that generate…

We prove group existence and structure theorems in a general setting of tame topological theories. More precisely, we identify a linear/non-linear dividing line -- called topological 1-basedness -- among the class of t-minimal theories with…

It is shown that the Topological Massive and ``Self-dual'' theories, which are known to provide locally equivalent descriptions of spin 1 theories in 2+1 dimensions, have different global properties when formulated over topologically…

We show that the classification up to homeomorphism of closed topological nonorientable 4-manifolds with fundamental group of order 2 due to Hambleton-Kreck-Teichner can be used to classify a large set of such 4-manifolds with cyclic…

Inspired by Segal-Stolz-Teichner project for geometric construction of elliptic (tmf) cohomology, and ideas of Floer theory and of Hopkins-Lurie on extended TFT's, we geometrically construct some $Ring$-valued representable cofunctors on…

We describe a procedure to construct infinite sets of pairwise smoothly inequivalent 2-spheres in simply connected 4-manifolds, which are topologically isotopic and whose complement has a prescribed fundamental group that satisfies some…

We consider Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum and Vogel's universal construction of topological theories in dimension two, using it to produce interesting theories that do not satisfy the usual two-dimensional TQFT axioms. Kronecker's…

We construct a category $\mathrm{HomCob}$ whose objects are {\it homotopically 1-finitely generated} topological spaces, and whose morphisms are {\it cofibrant cospans}. Given a manifold submanifold pair $(M,A)$, we prove that there exists…

We work in the category $\mathcal{CLM}^u_k$ of [5] of separated complete bounded $k$-linearly topologized modules over a complete linearly topologized ring $k$ and discuss duality on certain exact subcategories. We study topological and…

We construct a generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebras using smooth maps from the non-compact manifolds ${\cal M}=$SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and ${\cal M}=$ SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$ to a finite-dimensional simple Lie group $G$. This construction is…

This text contributes to the foundations of the theory of global Berkovich spaces, that is to say Berkovich spaces over Banach rings with nice properties such as $\mathbf{Z}$, rings of integers of number fields, discrete valuation rings,…

We prove that any topological loop homeomorphic to a sphere or to a real projective space and having a compact-free Lie group as the inner mapping group is homeomorphic to the circle. Moreover, we classify the differentiable $1$-dimensional…

We show that twin building lattices are undistorted in their ambient group; equivalently, the orbit map of the lattice to the product of the associated twin buildings is a quasi-isometric embedding. As a consequence, we provide an estimate…

We give direct, geometric constructions for nontrivial root elations for rank $2$ residues of higher rank buildings $\Delta$ of type $\mathsf{B_n}, \mathsf{C_n}$ and $\mathsf{H_m}$ for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $m \in \{3,4\}$. We show that we…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\Y$ a $G$-gerbe over an orbifold $\B$. A disconnected orbifold $\hat{\Y}$ and a flat U(1)-gerbe $c$ on $\hat{\Y}$ is canonically constructed from $\Y$. Motivated by a proposal in physics, we study a…
