We show how the evolving set methodology of Morris and Peres can be used to show Cheeger inequalities for bounding the spectral gap of a finite Markov kernel. This leads to sharp versions of several previous Cheeger inequalities, including…
We define and study an exotic t-structure on the bounded derived category of equivariant coherent sheaves on partial resolutions of the nilpotent cone.
For an acyclic representation of the fundamental group of a compact oriented odd-dimensional manifold, which is close enough to a unitary representation, we define a refinement of the Ray-Singer torsion associated to this representation.…
We construct finite-gap solutions to the modified Novikov-Veselov equations, describe their spectral properties and the reduction to the modified Korteweg--de Vries equation and explain its relation to soliton deformations of tori and the…
We prove a formula conjectured by the third author expressing certain Hodge integrals in terms of certain Chern-Simons link invariants. Such invariants also arise in the representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras.
We derive effective recursion formulae of top intersections in the tautological ring $R^*(M_g)$ of the moduli space of curves of genus $g\geq 2$. As an application, we prove a convolution-type tautological relation in $R^{g-2}(M_g)$.
We prove a generalization of Fulton's conjecture which relates intersection theory on an arbitrary flag variety to invariant theory.
We study how the supporting hyperplanes produced by the projection process can complement the method of alternating projections and its variants for the convex set intersection problem. For the problem of finding the closest point in the…
In this paper, we provide a concrete interpretation of equivariant Reidemeister torsion and demonstrate that Bismut-Zhang's equivariant Cheeger-M\"{u}ller theorem simplifies considerably when applied to locally symmetric spaces. In a…
This paper is devoted to the systematic investigation of the cone construction for Riemannian $G$ manifolds M, endowed with an invariant metric connection with skew torsion $\nabla^c$, a `characteristic connection'. We show how to define a…
We calculate the asymptotic behavior of the Kashaev invariant of a twice-itarated torus knot and obtain topological interpretation of the formula in terms of the Chern--Simons invariant and the twisted Reidemeister torsion.
We prove a rigidity result for Serrin's overdetermined problem in a cone that is contained in a half-space in arbitrary dimensions. In the special case where the cone is an epigraph, this result was shown previously in low dimensions with a…
We extend the theory of fast Fourier transforms on finite groups to finite inverse semigroups. We use a general method for constructing the irreducible representations of a finite inverse semigroup to reduce the problem of computing its…
The Chern-Simons forms for R-linear connections on Lie algebroids are considered. A generalized Chern-Simons formula for such R-linear connections is obtained. We it apply to define Chern character and secondary characteristic classes for…
This paper continues the study of Fourier transforms on finite inverse semigroups, with a focus on Fourier inversion theorems and FFTs for new classes of inverse semigroups. We begin by introducing four inverse semigroup generalizations of…
We continue the study, begun in [Kouno-Naito-Orr-Sagaki, 2021], of inverse Chevalley formulas for the equivariant $K$-group of semi-infinite flag manifolds. Using the language of alcove paths, we reformulate and extend our combinatorial…
We use higher parallel transport -- more precisely, the integration A_{infty}-functor constructed by Block-Smith and Arias Abad-Schaetz -- to define Reidemeister torsion for flat superconnections. We hope that the combinatorial Reidemeister…
We compute the equivariant Hirzebruch class of the quadric cone in C^n degenerating it to an intersection to hyperplanes. The difference of the Hirzebruch classes (measured by the Milnor class) turns out to be the Hirzebruch class of the…
The spherical Radon transform on the unit sphere can be regarded as a member of the analytic family of suitably normalized generalized cosine transforms. We derive new formulas for these transforms and apply them to study classes of…
The Sinc convolution is an approximate formula for indefinite convolutions proposed by Stenger. The formula was derived based on the Sinc indefinite integration formula combined with the single-exponential transformation. Although its…
