In this paper, we develop $L^2$ theory for Riemannian and Hermitian foliations on manifolds with basic boundary. We establish a decomposition theorem, various vanishing theorems, a twisted duality theorem for basic cohomologies and an…

This paper generalizes the concepts of 2-local derivations and biderivations (without the skewsymmetric condition) of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra from the adjoint module to any finite-dimensional module, and determines all 2-local…

It is shown that the Topological Massive and ``Self-dual'' theories, which are known to provide locally equivalent descriptions of spin 1 theories in 2+1 dimensions, have different global properties when formulated over topologically…

Classes of branched surfaces extend the classes of surfaces or 2-dimensional manifolds satisfying suitable properties and defined in various manners. Reeb spaces of smooth maps of suitable classes into surfaces whose codimensions are…

We investigate the relationship between the algebra of tensor categories and the topology of framed 3-manifolds. On the one hand, tensor categories with certain algebraic properties determine topological invariants. We prove that fusion…

In this paper, we use (bi)semicosimplicial language to study the classical problem of infinitesimal deformations of a closed subscheme in a fixed smooth variety, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. In particular,…

The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in…

We show bifurcation of localized spike solutions from spatially constant states in systems of nonlocally coupled equations in the whole space. The main assumptions are a generic bifurcation of saddle-node or transcritical type for spatially…

It is known that every ${\rm C}^r$-orbifold, $1\leq r\leq\infty$, has a compatible ${\rm C}^s$-differential structure, for every $s$, where $r< s\leq\omega$. We prove that if two reduced ${\rm C}^r$-orbifolds, $2\leq r\leq\omega$, are ${\rm…

In this paper we discuss gauging one-form symmetries in two-dimensional theories. The existence of a global one-form symmetry in two dimensions typically signals a violation of cluster decomposition -- an issue resolved by the observation…

We show that, on a complete and possibly non-compact Riemannian manifold of dimension at least 2 without close conjugate points at infinity, the existence of a closed geodesic with local homology in maximal degree and maximal index growth…

We prove Wadsley's theorem for foliations by closed non-lightlike geodesics. As an application we show that every pseudo-Riemannian and non-Riemannian 2-mainfold, all of whose time- or spacelike geodesics are closed, is diffeomorphic to…

We review work on `decomposition,' a property of two-dimensional theories with 1-form symmetries and, more generally, d-dimensional theories with (d-1)-form symmetries. Decomposition is the observation that such quantum field theories are…

We study an invariant, the secondary trace, attached to two commuting endomorphisms of a 2-dualizable object in a symmetric monoidal higher category. We establish a secondary trace formula which encodes the natural symmetries of this…

Classical contact Lie algebras are the fundamental algebraic structures on the manifolds of contact elements of configuration spaces in classical mechanics. Xu introduced a large category of contact simple Lie algebras which are related to…

Motivated by known examples of Joyce structures on spaces of meromorphic quadratic differentials, we consider the isomonodromic deformations of particular second-order linear ODEs with rational potential. We show the infinitesimal…

Consider the moduli space of pairs (C,w) where C is a smooth compact complex curve of a given genus and w is a holomorphic 1-form on C with a given list of multiplicities of zeroes. We describe connected components of this space. This…

We give a summary (without proofs) of the main results in the author's thesis entitled ``Construction of biclosed categories'' (University of New South Wales, Australia, 1970). This summary is reprinted directly from Report 81-0030 of the…

A depth two extension $A \| B$ is shown to be weak depth two over its double centralizer $V_A(V_A(B))$ if this is separable over $B$. We consider various examples and non-examples of depth one and two properties. Depth two and its…

In this paper we continue the study of bi-conformal vector fields started in {\em Class. Quantum Grav.} {\bf 21} 2153-2177. These are vector fields defined on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold by the differential conditions $\lie P_{ab}=\phi…
