Let $d\ge 1$ be an integer. We use the methods introduced by Lue Pan to prove that the compactly supported cohomology of Lubin-Tate towers and Drinfeld towers are isomorphic, as $\text{GL}_{d+1}(L)\times D_{L,\frac{1}{d+1}}^\times$-modules.
We study properties of differential graded (dg) operads modulo weak equivalences, that is, modulo the relation given by the existence of a chain of dg operad maps inducing a homology isomorphism. This approach, naturally arising in string…
In this paper we define and study pseudoholomorphic vector bundles structures, particular cases of which are tangent and normal bundle almost complex structures. These are intrinsically related to the Gromov D-operator. As an application we…
By using the notion of a rigid R-matrix in a monoidal category and the Reshetikhin--Turaev functor on the category of tangles, we review the definition of the associated invariant of long knots. In the framework of the monoidal categories…
We study quasi-morphisms on the groups Pn of pure braids on n strings and on the group D of compactly supported area-preserving diffeomorphisms of an open two-dimensional disc. We show that it is possible to build quasi-morphisms on Pn by…
For a smooth affine algebraic group $G$, one can attach various D-module categories to it that admit convolution monoidal structure. We consider the derived category of D-modules on $G$, the stack $G/G_{ad}$ and the category of…
Given a contact structure on a closed, oriented three-manifold $Y$, we describe an invariant which takes values in the three-manifold's Floer homology $\HFa$. This invariant vanishes for overtwisted contact structures and is non-zero for…
Given a link diagram L we construct spectra X^j(L) so that the Khovanov homology Kh^{i,j}(L) is isomorphic to the (reduced) singular cohomology H^i(X^j(L)). The construction of X^j(L) is combinatorial and explicit. We prove that the…
In \cite{MR1957829}, Ozsv\'ath and Szab\'o use Heegaard Floer homology to define numerical invariants $d_{1/2}$ and $d_{-1/2}$ for 3-manifolds $Y$ with $H_{1}(Y;\mathbb{Z})\cong \mathbb{Z}$. We define involutive Heegaard Floer theoretic…
The main goal of the present paper is to construct new invariants of knots with additional structure by adding new gradings to the Khovanov complex. The ideas given below work in the case of virtual knots, closed braids and some other cases…
For any graph G we define bigraded cohomology groups whose graded Euler characteristic is a multiple of the Yamada polynomial of G.
A kind of unstable homotopy theory on the category of associative rings (without unit) is developed. There are the notions of fibrations, homotopy (in the sense of Karoubi), path spaces, Puppe sequences, etc. One introduces the notion of a…
In this paper, we study the (in)sensitivity of the Khovanov functor to four-dimensional linking of surfaces. We prove that if $L$ and $L'$ are split links, and $C$ is a cobordism between $L$ and $L'$ that is the union of disjoint (but…
We give a review and some new relations on the structure of the monodromy algebra (also called loop algebra) associated with a quasitriangular Hopf algebra H. It is shown that as an algebra it coincides with the so-called braided group…
I discuss the relation of Hochschild cohomology to the physical states in the closed topological string. This allows a notion of deformation intrinsic to the derived category. I use this to identify deformations of a quiver gauge theory…
We study equivariant embeddings with small boundary of a given homogeneous space $G/H$, where $G$ is a connected, linear algebraic group with trivial Picard group and only trivial characters, and $H \subset G$ is an extension of a connected…
Heegaard Floer theory is a kind of topological quantum field theory, assigning graded groups to closed, connected, oriented 3-manifolds and group homomorphisms to smooth, oriented 4-dimensional cobordisms. Bordered Heegaard Floer homology…
For every oriented surface of finite type, we construct a functorial Khovanov homology for links in a thickening of the surface, which takes values in a categorification of the corresponding gl(2) skein module. The latter is a mild…
Let L be a null homologous link in $\mathbb{RP}^3$. We define Khovanov-type homologies of L which depend on an extra input $\alpha = (V_0,V_1,f,g)$ consisting of two graded vectors spaces and two maps between them. With some specific choice…
Equivalence classes of gapped Hamiltonians compatible with given symmetry constraints, such as those underlying topological insulators, can be defined in many ways. For the non-chiral classes modelled by vector bundles over Brillouin tori,…
