We study the special algebraic properties of alternating 3-forms in 6 and 7 dimensions and introduce a diffeomorphism-invariant functional on the space of differential 3-forms on a closed manifold M in these dimensions. Restricting the…

We introduce and examine the notion of principal $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-bundles, i.e., principal bundles in the category of $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-manifolds. The latter are higher graded extensions of supermanifolds in which a $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-grading…

Let M be a (bounded or not) domain of C^n which is complete with respect to a K\"ahler metric, or more generally, a complete K\"ahler manifold with trivial canonical bundle. Let f be a linearly nondegenerate meromorphic map from M to the…

A degree $d$ genus $g$ cover of the complex projective line by a smooth irreducible curve $C$ yields a vector bundle on the projective line by pushforward of the structure sheaf. We classify the bundles that arise this way when $d = 5$.…

Inspired by recent works of Zang Liu, Alan Weinstein and Ping Xu, we introduce the notions of CC algebroids and non asymmetric Courant algebroids and study these structures. It is shown that CC algebroids of rank greater than 3 are the same…

We consider \Gamma-equivariant principal G-bundles over proper \Gamma-CW-complexes with prescribed family of local representations. We construct and analyze their classifying spaces for locally compact, second countable topological groups…

We construct examples of non-isotrivial algebraic families of smooth complex projective curves over a curve of genus 2. This solves a problem from Kirby's list of problems in low-dimensional topology. Namely, we show that 2 is the smallest…

We survey various Alexander-type invariants of plane curve complements, with an emphasis on obstructions on the type of groups that can arise as fundamental groups of complements to complex plane curves. Also included are some new…

Establishing detailed relationships between transnormal systems of different types and their behaviors under covering maps, this paper presents a classification of transnormal systems on compact 3-manifolds in the sense of equivalence. For…

We consider transfer maps on ordinary homology, bordism of singular spaces and homology with coefficients in Ranicki's symmetric L-spectrum, associated to block bundles with closed oriented PL manifold fiber and compact polyhedral base. We…

Given our set-up of a system of curves and maps between them satisfying certain assumptions, we prove a classicality criterion for overconvergent sections of line bundles over these curves. As a result, we prove such criteria for…

We show the existence of rank 6 Ulrich bundles on a smooth cubic fourfold. First, we construct a simple sheaf E of rank 6 as an elementary modification of an ACM bundle of rank 6 on a smooth cubic fourfold. Such an E appears as an extension…

Let $X$ be a compact Calabi-Yau 3-fold, and write $\mathcal M,\bar{\mathcal M}$ for the moduli stacks of objects in coh$(X),D^b$coh$(X)$. There are natural line bundles $K_{\mathcal M}\to\mathcal M$, $K_{\bar{\mathcal M}}\to\bar{\mathcal…

We explore the notion of an adjusted connection for principal 3-bundles. We first derive the explicit form of an adjustment datum for 3-term $L_\infty$-algebras, which allows us to give a local description of such adjusted connections and…

We study the moduli space of parabolic connections of rank two on the complex projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ minus five points with fixed spectral data. This paper aims to compute the cohomology of the structure sheaf and a certain vector…

A connected combinatorial 2-manifold is called degree-regular if each of its vertices have the same degree. A connected combinatorial 2-manifold is called weakly regular if it has a vertex-transitive automorphism group. Clearly, a weakly…

We introduce the notion of an instanton bundle on a Fano threefold of index 2. For such bundles we give an analogue of a monadic description and discuss the curve of jumping lines. The cases of threefolds of degree 5 and 4 are considered in…

This paper shows that, away from 6, the kernel of the Witten genus is precisely the ideal consisting of (bordism classes of) Cayley plane bundles with connected structure group, but only after restricting the Witten genus to string bordism.…

In this paper we give the classification of rank 3 vector bundles without "inner" cohomology on a quadric hypersurface \Q_n (n>3) by studying the associated monads.

An orthogonal bundle over a curve has an isotropic Segre invariant determined by the maximal degree of a Lagrangian subbundle. This invariant, and the induced stratifications on moduli spaces of orthogonal bundles, were studied for bundles…
