We classify lagrangian fibrations on Nikulin orbifolds, a well studied class of singular irreducible holomorphic symplectic varieties, and prove they verify the SYZ conjecture.

We apply the modular approach to computing the topological string partition function on non-compact elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau 3-folds with higher Kodaira singularities in the fiber. The approach consists in making an ansatz for the…

Fibered multilinks are a generalization of classical fibered knots and open books that arise in the study of surface singularities and Milnor fibrations. We prove that if the canonical contact structure on the link of a surface singularity…

We prove that separable extensions of noetherian rings and finite \'etale morphisms of noetherian schemes give rise to separable extensions of singularity categories.

In combinatorial topology we aim to triangulate manifolds such that their topological properties are reflected in the combinatorial structure of their description. Here, we give a combinatorial criterion on when exactly triangulations of…

We introduce a new model for elliptic fibrations endowed with a Mordell-Weil group of rank one. We call it a Q$_7(\mathscr{L},\mathscr{S})$ model. It naturally generalizes several previous models of elliptic fibrations popular in the…

Topological states enable robust transport within disorder-rich media through integer invariants inextricably tied to the transmission of light, sound, or electrons. However, the challenge remains to exploit topological protection in a…

These are notes of a series of lectures on mirror symmetry and topological string theory given at the Mathematical Sciences Center at Tsinghua University. The N=2 superconformal algebra, its deformations and its chiral ring are reviewed. A…

In this paper, we construct an analogy of holonomy of connection to simplicial sets using A-infinity-categories. To construct it, we develop fiberwise integrals on simplicial sets and define an iterated integral on simplicial sets. It is an…

Numerably contractible spaces play an important role in the theory of homotopy pushouts and pullbacks. The corresponding results imply that a number of well known weak homotopy equivalences are genuine ones if numerably contractible spaces…

Restriction categories were established to handle maps that are partially defined with respect to composition. Tensor topology realises that monoidal categories have an intrinsic notion of space, and deals with objects and maps that are…

We provide a rigorous construction of I.M. Singer's universal connection, a natural connection on a bundle of paths associated to any manifold, using the theory of diffeology. Furthermore, we generalize the universal connection to the…

Suppose $K$ is a knot in a 3-manifold $Y$, and that $Y$ admits a pair of distinct contact structures. Assume that $K$ has Legendrian representatives in each of these contact structures, such that the corresponding Thurston-Bennequin…

We construct a discrete model of the homotopy theory of $S^1$-spaces. We define a category $\sP$ with objects composed of a simplicial set and a cyclic set along with suitable compatibility data. $\sP$ inherits a model structure from the…

In this paper we show that the strict and lax pullbacks of a 2-categorical opfibration along an arbitrary 2-functor are homotopy equivalent. We give two applications. First, we show that the strict fibers of an opfibration model the…

A stratified space is a topological space together with a decomposition into strata corresponding to different types of singularities. Examples of such spaces appear everywhere in topology and geometry. The study of stratified spaces…

In this paper, we study properties of maps between fibrant objects in model categories. We give a characterization of weak equivalences between fibrant object. If every object of a model category is fibrant, then we give a simple…

In this paper we show that every object in the dg category of relative singularities Sing$(B,\underline{f})$ associated to a pair $(B,\underline{f})$, where $B$ is a ring and $\underline{f}\in B^n$, is equivalent to a retract of a…

Let p be a fibration over a finite simplicial complex, whose fibers have the homotopy type of finite simplicial complexes. Then p is equivalent to an approximate fibration whose total space is a compact ENR. The proof uses homotopy coherent…

We prove that the minimal chain recurrence classes of a holomorphic endomorphism of $\mathbb P^k$ have finitely many connected components. We also obtain results on arbitrary classes. These strong constraints on the topological dynamics in…
