We use a variation of a classical construction of A. Hatcher to construct virtually all stable exotic smooth structures on compact smooth manifold bundles whose fibers have sufficiently large odd dimension (at least twice the base dimension…

We prove a stability theorem for spaces of smooth concordance embeddings. From it we derive various applications to spaces of concordance diffeomorphisms and homeomorphisms.

We consider the general second order difference equation $x_{n+1}=F(x_n,x_{n-1})$ in which $F$ is continuous and of mixed monotonicity in its arguments. In equations with negative terms, a persistent set can be a proper subset of the…

The main purpose of this paper is to give an explicit description of the moduli space of semistable sheaves of rank two on a stable curve C obtained by gluing two smooth curves at a point. We prove that the moduli space is irreducible and…

We study relative differential and integral forms on families of supermanifolds and their cohomology. We prove a relative Poincar\'e--Verdier duality and show that it relates the cohomology of differential and integral forms, admitting a…

Given a perversity function in the sense of intersection homology theory, the method of intersection spaces assigns to certain oriented stratified spaces cell complexes whose ordinary reduced homology with real coefficients satisfies…

Greenlees and Sadofsky showed that the classifying spaces of finite groups are self-dual with respect to Morava K-theory K(n). Their duality map was constructed using a transfer map. We generalize their duality map and prove a K(n)-version…

We analyse the vector bundle moduli arising from generic heterotic compactifications from the point of view of quiver representations. Phenomena such as stability walls, crossing between chambers of supersymmetry, splitting of non-Abelian…

The space of Bridgeland stability conditions is a complex manifold that can be attached to a triangulated category, of which it encodes some homological properties. These notes are an introduction to this topic, with a focus on examples…

A conjecture of Mumford predicts a complete set of relations between the generators of the cohomology ring of the moduli space of rank 2 semi-stable sheaves with fixed odd degree determinant on a smooth, projective curve of genus at least…

Some aspects of basic category theory are developed in a finitely complete category $\C$, endowed with two factorization systems which determine the same discrete objects and are linked by a simple reciprocal stability law. Resting on this…

Let M be a Poincare duality space of dimension at least four. In this paper we describe a complete obstruction to realizing the diagonal map M -> M x M by a Poincare embedding. The obstruction group depends only on the fundamental group and…

We propose compactifications of the moduli space of Bridgeland stability conditions of a triangulated category. Our construction arises from a viewing a stability condition as a metric on the underlying category and is inspired by the…

We consider the systematic force on a heavy probe induced by interaction with an overdamped diffusive medium where particles undergo a rotating force around a fixed center. The stiffness matrix summarizes the stability of the probe around…

To an inclusion topological groups H->G, we associate a naive G-spectrum. The special case when H=G gives the dualizing spectrum D_G introduced by the author in the first paper of this series. The main application will be to give a purely…

We propose the notion of stability on a triangulated category that is a generalization of the T.Bridgeland's stability data. We establish connections between stabilities and t-structures on a category and as application we get the…

We introduce the notion of a polynomial stability condition, generalizing Bridgeland stability conditions on triangulated categories. We construct and study a family of polynomial stability conditions for any normal projective variety. This…

Torsion sensitive intersection homology was introduced to unify several versions of Poincare duality for stratified spaces into a single theorem. This unified duality theorem holds with ground coefficients in an arbitrary PID and with no…

Let $X$ be a smooth polarized algebraic surface over the compex number field. We discuss the invariants obtained from the moduli stacks of semistable sheaves of arbitrary ranks on $X$. For that purpose, we construct the virtual fundamental…

We prove that the stabilization of spaces functor---the classical construction of associating a spectrum to a pointed space by tensoring with the sphere spectrum---satisfies homotopical descent on objects and morphisms. This is the…
