The notion of topological degree is studied for mappings from the boundary of a relatively compact strictly pseudo-convex domain in a Stein manifold into a manifold in terms of index theory of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space. The…

We provide an algebraic description of the Teichm\"uller space and moduli space of flat metrics on a closed manifold or orbifold and study its boundary, which consists of (isometry classes of) flat orbifolds to which the original object may…

We introduce a topology, which we call the regional topology, on the space of all real functions on a given locally compact metric space. Next we obtain a new versions of Schauder's fixed point theorem and Ascoli's theorem. We use these…

These notes on Riemannian geometry use the bases bundle and frame bundle, as in Geometry of Manifolds, to express the geometric structures. It has more problems and omits the background material. It starts with the definition of Riemannian…

I review some recent results on four-manifold invariants which have been obtained in the context of topological quantum field theory. I focus on three different aspects: (a) the computation of correlation functions, which give explicit…

The refined analytic torsion associated to a flat vector bundle over a closed odd-dimensional manifold canonically defines a quadratic form $\tau$ on the determinant line of the cohomology. Both $\tau$ and the Burghelea-Haller torsion are…

The theory of spaces with different (not only by sign) contravariant and covariant affine connections and metrics [}$(\bar{L}_n,g)$\QTR{it}{-spaces] is worked out within the framework of the tensor analysis over differentiable manifolds and…

The object of study is almost paracomplex pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with a pair of metrics associated each other by the almost paracomplex structure. A torsion-free connection and tensors with geometric interpretation are found which are…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of 3-alterfolds with embedded separating surfaces. When the separating surface is decorated by a spherical fusion category, we obtain quantum invariants of 3-alterfold, which is consistent with many…

We prove the analogue of the Riemann-Roch formula for the noncommutative two torus $ A_{\theta} = C(\mathbb{T}_{\theta}^2)$ equipped with an arbitrary translation invariant complex structure and a Weyl factor represented by a positive…

For a finite rank projective bundle over a compact manifold, so associated to a torsion, Dixmier-Douady, 3-class, w, on the manifold, we define the ring of differential operators `acting on sections of the projective bundle' in a formal…

We deal with irregular curves contained in smooth, closed, and compact surfaces. For curves with finite total intrinsic curvature, a weak notion of parallel transport of tangent vector fields is well-defined in the Sobolev setting. Also,…
