Recent progress in string theory has led to a reformulation of quantum-group polynomial invariants for knots and links into new polynomial invariants whose coefficients can be understood in topological terms. We describe in detail how to…

Consider the infinite dimensional flag manifold $LK/T$ corresponding to the simple Lie group $K$ of rank $l$ and with maximal torus $T$. We show that, for $K$ of type $A$, $B$ or $C$, if we endow the space $H^*(LK/T)\otimes…

In our previous paper, we gave a presentation of the torus-equivariant quantum $K$-theory ring $QK_{H}(Fl_{n+1})$ of the (full) flag manifold $Fl_{n+1}$ of type $A_{n}$ as a quotient of a polynomial ring by an explicit ideal. In this paper,…

We prove that, for smooth quasi-projective varieties over a field, the $K$-theory $K(X)$ of vector bundles is the universal cohomology theory where $c_1(L\otimes \bar L)=c_1(L)+c_1(\bar L)-c_1(L)c_1(\bar L)$. Then, we show that…

We develop two connections between the quantitative framework of operator $K$-theory for geometric $C^*$-algebras and the problem of positive scalar curvature. First, we introduce a quantitative notion of higher index and use it to give a…

Motivated by physics, we propose two conjectures regarding the cohomology ring of the crepant resolutions of orbifolds and cohomological invariants of K-equivalent manifolds.

In this paper we describe progress made toward the construction of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev theory of knot invariants from the geometric point of view. This is done in the perspective of a joint result of the author with A. Uribe which…

First an `irregular Riemann-Hilbert correspondence' is established for meromorphic connections on principal G-bundles over a disc, where G is any connected complex reductive group. Secondly, in the case of poles of order two, isomonodromic…

We develop a fundamental theory of compact quantum group equivariant finite extensions of C*-algebras. In particular we focus on the case of quantum homogeneous spaces and give a Tannaka-Krein type result for equivariant correspondences. As…

We give a graph-sum algorithm that expresses any genus-$g$ Gromov-Witten invariant of the symmetric product orbifold $\mathrm{Sym}^d\mathbb{P}^r:=[(\mathbb{P}^r)^d/S_d]$ in terms of "Hurwitz-Hodge integrals" -- integrals over (compactified)…

By the quantization condition compact quantizable Kaehler manifolds can be embedded into projective space. In this way they become projective varieties. The quantum Hilbert space of the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization (and of the geometric…

We develop the deformation theory of cohomological field theories (CohFTs), which is done as a special case of a general deformation theory of morphisms of modular operads. This leads us to introduce two new natural extensions of the notion…

We introduce a Lagrangian density for M-Theory which is purely topological using Gelfand-Fuchs cohomology. Next we calculate the partition function which indeed gives topological invariants that can be expressed via the Ray-Singer analytic…

We give a construction of the moduli space of stable maps to the classifying stack B\mu_r of a cyclic group by a sequence of r-th root constructions on M_{0, n}. We prove a closed formula for the total Chern class of \mu_r-eigenspaces of…

We discuss the analogy between collapsing Conformal Field Theories and measured Gromov-Hausdorff limit of Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. Motivated by this analogy we propose the notion of non-commutative…

We prove a conjecture of Buch and Mihalcea in the case of the incidence variety X=Fl(1,n-1;n) and determine the structure of its (T-equivariant) quantum K-theory ring. Our results are an interplay between geometry and combinatorics. The…

We establish a system of PDE, called open WDVV, that constrains the bulk-deformed superpotential and associated open Gromov-Witten invariants of a Lagrangian submanifold $L \subset X$ with a bounding chain. Simultaneously, we define the…

The mirror theorem is generalized to any smooth projective variety X. That is, a fundamental relation between the Gromov-Witten invariants of X and Gromov-Witten invariants of complete intersections Y in X is established.

Let Gamma be a semidirect product of the form Z^n rtimes Z/p where p is prime and the Z/p-action on Z^n is free away from the origin. We will compute the topological K-theory of the real and complex group C*-algebra of Gamma and show that…

The goal of the paper is to categorify Dijkgraaf-Witten theory, aiming at providing foundation for a direct construction of Dijkgraaf-Witten theory as an Extended Topological Quantum Field Theory. The main tool is cohomology with…
