The cobordism conjecture of the swampland program states that the bordism group of quantum gravity must be trivial. We investigate this statement in several directions, on both the mathematical and physical side. We consider the Whitehead…

We prove the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for klt Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension 2. That is, for a large class of rational surfaces as well as K3 surfaces and abelian surfaces, the action of the automorphism group of the surface on the…

This paper is a collection of thoughts and observations, being partly a review and partly a report of current research, on recent work in various aspects of Gr\"unbaum colorings, their existence and usage. In particular, one of the most…

The absence of global symmetries in a quantum gravity theory often requires the introduction of (new) symmetry-breaking defects, which appear as singular objects in the low-energy description. This has been formalized in the Cobordism…

The Multiplicity Conjecture is a deep problem relating the multiplicity (or degree) of a Cohen-Macaulay standard graded algebra with certain extremal graded Betti numbers in its minimal free resolution. In the case of level algebras of…

This note explores the consequences of Koenigsmann's model theoretic argument from the proof of the birational p-adic section conjecture for curves in the context of higher dimensional varieties over p-adic local fields.

We formulate a general super duality conjecture on connections between parabolic categories O of modules over Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras of type A, based on a Fock space formalism of their Kazhdan-Lusztig theories which was…

This is a write-up of my talk at the Conference on algebraic structures in Montreal, July 2003. I try to give a brief informal introduction to the proof of Y. Ruan's conjecture on orbifold cohomology multiplication for symplectic quotient…

Let X be a surface whose Cox ring has a single relation satisfying moreover a kind of linearity property. Under a simple assumption, we show that the geometric Manin's conjectures hold for some degrees lying in the dual of the effective…

In this paper, we present more conclusions for $C^\ast(\mathrm{PL})$ and oriented PL cobordism, and compute the string PL bordism groups of certain dimensions. Then, we apply these results to classify certain PL manifolds of dimensions $10$…

We prove a conjecture of Kumbhakar, Roy, and Srinivasan (2024) on the classification of order one differential equations, and a conjecture of Kumbhakar and Srinivasan (2025) on higher order equations. Both conjectures are shown to be…

We show that if $2k\geq n$, then a k-connected weak n-category $A$ can be ``delooped'' to a k+1-connected weak n+1-category $Y$ with $Hom_Y(y,y)\cong A$. This is the essential part of the ``stabilization hypothesis'' of Baez and Dolan…

This thesis proposes a framework based on a notion of combinatorial cell complex (cc) whose cells are defined simply as finite sets of vertices. The cells of a cc are subject to four axioms involving a rank function that assigns a rank (or…

Faltings; Gabber and Ramero introduced almost mathematics. In another way, almost mathematics can be characterized bilocalization abelian category of modules mentioned in Quillen's unpublished note. Applying the concept of Quillen's…

In the first part, in the local non archimedean case, we consider distributions on GL(n+1) which are invariant under the adjoint action of GL(n). We conjecture that such distributions are invariant by transposition. This would imply…

We prove a Livsic type theorem for cocycles taking values in groups of diffeomorphisms of low-dimensional manifolds. The results hold without any localization assumption and in very low regularity. We also obtain a general result (in any…

In 2005, the second author and Todorov introduced an upper bound on the finitistic dimension of an Artin algebra, now known as the {\phi}-dimension. The {\phi}-dimension conjecture states that this upper bound is always finite, a fact that…

We establish cohomological and extension dimension versions of the Hurewicz dimension-raising theorem

We consider the symmetric binary perceptron model, a simple model of neural networks that has gathered significant attention in the statistical physics, information theory and probability theory communities, with recent connections made to…

This is an old talk about Boardman's work in Z/2-equivariant unoriented cobordism. It appeared long ago, but it discusses a useful geometric interpretation of Tate cohomology which doesn't seem to be widely known. I'm posting it in an…
