We define an operad in Top, called $\text{FM}_2^W$. The spaces in $\text{FM}_2^W$ come with CW decompositions, such that the operad compositions are cellular. In fact, each space in $\text{FM}_2^W$ is the realization of a simplicial set. We…
In this paper we completely classify symplectic actions of a torus $T$ on a compact connected symplectic manifold $(M, \sigma)$ when some, hence every, principal orbit is a coisotropic submanifold of $(M, \sigma)$. That is, we construct an…
We study Toeplitz operators with respect to a commuting $n$-tuple of bounded operators which satisfies some additional conditions coming from complex geometry. Then we consider a particular such tuple on a function space. The algebra of…
A new bootstrap equation in 2-dimensional conformal field theory is derived starting from the momentum-space representation of the correlation functions. Since Wightman functions are not crossing-symmetric, the analyticity properties of the…
We start with a disk with $2n$ vertices along its boundary where pairs of vertices are connected with $n$ strips with certain restrictions. This forms a {\it pairing}. To relate two pairings, we define an operator called a cut-and-glue…
It is well-known that in the logic of quantum mechanics disjunctions and conjunctions can be represented by joins and meets, respectively, in an orthomodular lattice provided their entries commute. This was the reason why J. Pykacz…
We show that a profinite completion functor for (simplicial or topological) operads with good homotopical properties can be constructed as a left Quillen functor from an appropriate model category of infinity-operads to a certain model…
Conformal field theory at $c=-2$ provides the simplest example of a theory with ``logarithmic'' operators. We examine in detail the $(\xi,\eta)$ ghost system and Coulomb gas construction at $c=-2$ and show that, in contradistinction to…
An operad (this paper deals with non-symmetric operads)may be conceived as a partial algebra with a family of insertion operations, Gerstenhaber's circle-i products, which satisfy two kinds of associativity, one of them involving…
In an earlier paper we introduced rectangular diagrams of surfaces and showed that any isotopy class of a surface in the three-sphere can be presented by a rectangular diagram. Here we study transformations of those diagrams and introduce…
We consider symplectic manifolds with Hamiltonian torus actions which are "almost but not quite completely integrable": the dimension of the torus is one less than half the dimension of the manifold. We provide a complete set of invariants…
We introduce a Morita type equivalence: two operator algebras $A$ and $B$ are called strongly $\Delta $-equivalent if they have completely isometric representations $\alpha $ and $\beta $ respectively and there exists a ternary ring of…
Let $f:T^2\to \mathbb{R}$ be Morse function on $2$-torus $T^2,$ and $\mathcal{O}(f)$ be the orbit of $f$ with respect to the right action of the group of diffeomorphisms $\mathcal{D}(T^2)$ on $C^{\infty}(T^2)$. Let also $\mathcal{O}_f(f,X)$…
We show that the moduli spaces of Thaddeus pairs on smooth projective curves and those of dual pairs are related by d-critical flips, which are virtual birational transformations introduced by the second author. We then prove the existence…
We explicitly construct an SO(2)-action on a skeletal version of the 2-dimensional framed bordism bicategory. By the 2-dimensional Cobordism Hypothesis for framed manifolds, we obtain an SO(2)-action on the core of fully-dualizable objects…
Let the circle act holomorphically on a compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ of complex dimension $n$ with moment map $\phi\colon M\to\R$. Assume the critical set of $\phi$ consists of 3 connected components, the extrema being isolated points. We…
This note explores the interaction between cohomology operations in a generalized cohomology theory and a string topology loop coproduct dual to the Chas--Sullivan loop product. More precisely, we ask for a description for the failure of a…
Recently, Kawarabayashi and Thorup presented the first deterministic edge-connectivity recognition algorithm in near-linear time. A crucial step in their algorithm uses the existence of vertex subsets of a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices…
We give a new proof of Givental's mirror theorem for toric manifolds using shift operators of equivariant parameters. The proof is almost tautological: it gives an A-model construction of the I-function and the mirror map. It also works for…
We show that under mild hypotheses on a proper algebraic space $X$, the functors of taking its symmetric powers and its \'{e}tale realisation commute up to weak equivalence. We conclude an effective version of the Dold-Thom theorem for the…
