For an oriented surface of genus g with b boundary components, we construct a rational map from a subset of C^{6g-6+3b} onto an open algebraic subset of the PSL(2,C)-character variety as an analogue of the Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates. After…

We compare two different types of mapping class invariants: the Hochschild homology of an $A_\infty$ bimodule coming from bordered Heegaard Floer homology, and fixed point Floer cohomology. We first compute the bimodule invariants and their…

We explore extensions to $\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})$-Chern-Simons theory of some results obtained for $\operatorname{SU}(n)$-Chern-Simons theory via the asymptotic properties of the Hitchin connection and its relation to Toeplitz…

We prove that the G\"ottsche-Schroeter and Schroeter-Shustin refined invariants specialize at $q=1$ to the enumeration of rational, resp. elliptic complex curves on arbitrary toric surfaces matching constraints that consist of points and of…

Let G/H be a pseudo-Riemannian semisimple symmetric space. The tangent bundle T(G/H) contains a maximal G-invariant neighbourhood of the zero section where the adapted complex structure exists. Such neighbourhood is endowed with a canonical…

In this paper, we introduce relative LS category of a map and study some of its properties. Then we introduce `higher topological complexity' of a map, a homotopy invariant. We give a cohomological lower bound and compare it with previously…

We study a 3-dimensional topological sigma-model, whose target space is a hyper-Kahler manifold X. A Feynman diagram calculation of its partition function demonstrates that it is a finite type invariant of 3-manifolds which is similar in…

Given a Hitchin representation $\rho \colon \pi_1(S) \to \PSL_n(\mathbb{R})$, we construct $n$ continuous functions $\ell_i^\rho \colon \mathcal \CH(S) \to \mathbb{R}$ defined on the space of H\"older geodesic currents $\CH(S)$ such that,…

We prove that if $\Sigma$ is a closed surface of genus at least 3 and $G$ is a split real semisimple Lie group of rank at least $3$ acting faithfully by isometries on a symmetric space $N$, then there exists a Hitchin representation…

Integral invariants obtained from Principal Component Analysis on a small kernel domain of a submanifold encode important geometric information classically defined in differential-geometric terms. We generalize to hypersurfaces in any…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface with $p_g=q=0$. We show how to use derived categorical methods to study the geometry of certain special iterated Hilbert schemes associated to $S$ by showing that they contain a smooth connected…

We study smooth SU(2) solutions of the Hitchin equations on R^2, with the determinant of the complex Higgs field being a polynomial of degree n. When n>=3, there are moduli spaces of solutions, in the sense that the natural L^2 metric is…

A central problem in data-driven scientific inquiry is how to interpret structure in noisy, high-dimensional data. Topological data analysis (TDA) provides a solution via persistent homology, which encodes features of interest as…

We introduce the \emph{parameter-geometrization} to the Hitchin system, a paradigm embedding deformation parameters into geometry via the coupled Hitchin-He equations on a surface with boundary. A boundary term couples a second Higgs field…

The scalar fields of supersymmetric models are coordinates of a geometric space. We propose a formulation of supersymmetry that is covariant with respect to reparametrizations of this target space. Employing chiral multiplets as an example,…

Using the developed deformation theory on moduli spaces of quadratic differentials we derive variational formulas for objects associated with generalized $SL(2)$ Hitchin's spectral covers: Prym matrix, Prym bidifferential, Hodge and Prym…

We present a systematic technique for constructing Lorentz covariant orbital-spin ($LS$) bases for matrix elements of local operators and the associated form factors, thereby extending the traditional multipole expansion to a Lorentz…

We give a classification of components of the Hodge locus in any parameter space of smooth projective varieties. This is done using determinantal varieties constructed from the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structures (IVHS) of the…

We study the Hitchin maps on the moduli spaces of Hitchin sheaves and parabolic Hitchin sheaves on a nodal integral curve $Y$. We study their fibres, the BNR correspondences and the relation of the restriction of the Hitchin map with very…

We obtain precise asymptotics for the Steklov eigenvalues on a compact Riemannian surface with boundary. It is shown that the number of connected components of the boundary, as well as their lengths, are invariants of the Steklov spectrum.…
