This thesis is concerned with the application of operadic methods, particularly modular operads, to questions arising in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces as well as applications to the study of homotopy algebras and new constructions…
Counterexamples are presented to weighted forms of the Weiss conjecture in discrete and continuous time. In particular, for certain ranges of $\alpha$, operators are constructed that satisfy a given resolvent estimate, but fail to be…
We study high-dimensional analogues of spaces of long knots. These are spaces of compactly-supported embeddings (modulo immersions) of $\mathbb{R}^m$ into $\mathbb{R}^n$. We view the space of embeddings as the value of a certain functor at…
We show that the Kontsevich operad, as an operad with multiplication, provides a model for the Taylor tower of the functor defined by taking the homotopy fiber of the inclusion of embeddings of an interval in a cube to the corresponding…
We develop a generalization of manifold calculus in the sense of Goodwillie-Weiss where the manifold is replaced by a simplicial complex. We consider functors from the category of open subsets of a fixed simplical complex into the category…
We describe the modular operad structure on the moduli spaces of pointed stable curves equipped with an admissible $G$-cover. To do this we are forced to introduce the notion of an operad colored not by a set but by the objects of a…
In this paper, we study the weighted composition operator on the Fock space $\mf$ of slice regular functions. First, we characterize the boundedness and compactness of the weighted composition operator. Subsequently, we describe all the…
We study Goodwillie-Weiss embedding calculus through its relationship with Goodwillie's functor calculus. Specifically, building on a result of Tillmann and Weiss, we construct a functorial complement for \(T_{n}\)-embeddings that takes…
A characterisation is given of bounded embeddings from weighted $L^2$ spaces on bounded intervals into $L^2$ spaces on the half-plane, induced by isomorphisms given by the Laplace transform onto weighted Hardy and Bergman spaces (Zen…
This paper is a sequel to [LoMa] where moduli spaces of painted stable curves were introduced and studied. We define the extended modular operad of genus zero, algebras over this operad, and study the formal differential geometric…
We consider various classes of bounded operators on the Fock space $F^2$ of Gaussian square integrable entire functions over the complex plane. These include Toeplitz (type) operators, weighted composition operators, singular integral…
We show that the map on components from the space of classical long knots to the n-th stage of its Goodwillie-Weiss embedding calculus tower is a map of monoids whose target is an abelian group and which is invariant under clasper surgery.…
We study the beginning of the Taylor tower, supplied by manifold calculus of functors, for the space of r-immersions, which are immersions without r-fold self-intersections. We describe the first r layers of the tower and discuss the…
The notions of the interior and truncated connections of a nonholonomic manifold are introduced. A class of extended truncated connections is distinguished. For the case of a contact space with a Finsler metric, it is shown that there…
We introduce a symmetric operad $\square p$ ("box-op") which describes a certain calculus of rectangular labeled ``boxes''. Algebras over $\square p$, which we call box operads, have appeared under the name of fc multicategories in work by…
We consider weighted composition operators, that is operators of the type $g \mapsto w \cdot g \circ f$, acting on spaces of Lipschitz functions. Bounded weighted composition operators, as well as some compact weighted composition…
This note is a complement to Pusz--Woronowicz's works on functional calculus for two positive forms from the viewpoint of operator theory. Based on an elementary, self-contained and purely Hilbert space operator explanation of their…
Manifold calculus of functors, due to M. Weiss, studies contravariant functors from the poset of open subsets of a smooth manifold to topological spaces. We introduce "multivariable" manifold calculus of functors which is a generalization…
Fix a metric space $M$ and let $\mathrm{Lip}_0(M)$ be the Banach space of complex-valued Lipschitz functions defined on $M$. A weighted composition operator on $\mathrm{Lip}_0(M)$ is an operator of the kind $wC_f : g \mapsto w \cdot g \circ…
We study quotients of the magmatic operad, that is the free nonsymmetric operad over one binary generator. In the linear setting, we show that the set of these quotients admits a lattice structure and we show an analog of the Grassmann…
